Answers to the test based on Nikolai Gogol's poem "Dead Souls"

Dead Souls is a poem for the ages. The plasticity of the depicted reality, the comic nature of situations and the artistic skill of N.V. Gogol depicts the image of Russia not only of the past, but also of the future. Grotesque satirical reality in harmony with patriotic notes create an unforgettable melody of life that sounds through the centuries.

Collegiate counselor Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov goes to distant provinces to buy serfs. However, he is not interested in people, but only in the names of the deceased. This is necessary to submit the list to the board of trustees, which "promises" a lot of money. All the doors were open to a nobleman with so many peasants. To implement his plans, he pays visits to the landowners and officials of the city of NN. All of them reveal their selfish disposition, so the hero manages to get what he wants. He is also planning a profitable marriage. However, the result is deplorable: the hero is forced to flee, since his plans become generally known thanks to the landowner Korobochka.

History of creation

N.V. Gogol considered A.S. Pushkin as his teacher, who "presented" a grateful student with a story about the adventures of Chichikov. The poet was sure that only Nikolai Vasilyevich, who possesses a unique talent from God, was capable of realizing this "idea".

The writer loved Italy, Rome. On the land of the great Dante, he began work on a book involving a three-part composition in 1835. The poem was supposed to resemble Dante's Divine Comedy, depicting the hero's immersion in hell, his wanderings in purgatory and the resurrection of his soul in paradise.

The creative process lasted for six years. The idea of ​​a grandiose picture, depicting not only "all of Russia" present, but also future, revealed "the untold riches of the Russian spirit." In February 1837, Pushkin dies, whose "sacred testament" for Gogol is Dead Souls: "Not a single line was written without me imagining him in front of me." The first volume was completed in the summer of 1841, but did not immediately find its reader. The censors were outraged by "The Tale of Captain Kopeikin", and the title was perplexing. I had to make concessions, starting the headline with the intriguing phrase "The Adventures of Chichikov." Therefore, the book was published only in 1842.

After some time, Gogol writes the second volume, but, dissatisfied with the result, burns it.

The meaning of the name

The title of the work is controversial. The used method of oxymoron gives rise to numerous questions to which one would like to get answers as soon as possible. The title is symbolic and ambiguous, so the "secret" is not revealed to everyone.

In a literal sense, "dead souls" are representatives of the common people who have gone to another world, but still reckoned with their masters. Gradually, there is a rethinking of the concept. "Form" seems to "come to life": real serfs, with their habits and shortcomings, appear before the reader's eyes.

Characteristics of the main characters

  1. Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov is a "gentleman of the middle hand." The manners that are somewhat sugary in dealing with people are not devoid of sophistication. Well-mannered, neat and delicate. “Not handsome, but not bad-looking, not ... fat, not .... thin ... ". Prudent and careful. He collects unnecessary trinkets in his little chest: maybe it will come in handy! He is looking for benefits in everything. Generation of the worst sides of an enterprising and energetic person of a new type, opposed to landlords and officials. We wrote about him in more detail in the essay "".
  2. Manilov is a "knight of the void". Blond "sweet" chatterbox "with blue eyes." He covers up the paucity of thought, avoiding real difficulties with a beautiful-minded phrase. It lacks living aspirations and any interests. His faithful companions are fruitless fantasy and thoughtless chatter.
  3. The box is "cudgel head". A vulgar, stupid, stingy and tight-fisted nature. She fenced herself off from everything around her, shutting herself up in her estate - a "box". Transformed into a stupid and greedy woman. Limited, stubborn and spiritless.
  4. Nozdrev is a "historical person". He can easily lie that he pleases, and deceive anyone. Empty, absurd. Imagines himself as a broad person. However, the actions expose the disorderly, chaotic - weak-willed and at the same time arrogant, shameless "tyrant". The record holder for getting into tricky and ridiculous situations.
  5. Sobakevich is a “patriot of the Russian stomach”. Outwardly, it resembles a bear: clumsy and indefatigable. Completely incapable of understanding the most elementary things. A special type of "drive" that can quickly adapt to the new requirements of our time. He is not interested in anything except housekeeping. we have described in the essay of the same name.
  6. Plyushkin - "a hole in humanity." A creature of an incomprehensible gender. A vivid example of moral decline, which has completely lost its natural appearance. The only character (except for Chichikov) who has a biography that "reflects" the gradual process of personality degradation. Sheer insignificance. Plyushkin's maniacal hoarding "pours out" on a "cosmic" scale. And the more this passion takes possession of him, the less of a person remains in him. We analyzed his image in detail in the essay .
  7. Genre and composition

    Initially, the work was born as an adventurous - roguish novel. But the breadth of the events described and the historical truthfulness, as if "pressed" together, gave rise to "talk" about the realistic method. Making precise remarks, inserting philosophical reasoning, addressing different generations, Gogol saturated "his brainchild" with lyrical digressions. One cannot but agree with the opinion that the creation of Nikolai Vasilyevich is a comedy, since it actively uses the techniques of irony, humor and satire, which most fully reflect the absurdity and arbitrariness of the "squadron of flies dominating in Russia."

    The composition is circular: the chaise, which entered the city of NN at the beginning of the story, leaves it after all the twists and turns that happened to the hero. Episodes are woven into this "ring", without which the integrity of the poem is violated. The first chapter provides a description of the provincial town of NN and local officials. From the second to the sixth chapters, the author acquaints readers with the landowners' estates of Manilov, Korobochka, Nozdrev, Sobakevich and Plyushkin. Seventh - tenth chapters - a satirical image of officials, registration of completed transactions. The chain of the listed events ends with a ball, where Nozdryov "narrates" about Chichikov's swindle. The reaction of society to his statement is unambiguous - gossip, which, like a snowball, is overgrown with fables that have found a refraction, including in the short story ("The Story of Captain Kopeikin") and the parable (about Kif Mokievich and Mokiy Kifovich). The introduction of these episodes makes it possible to emphasize that the fate of the motherland directly depends on the people living in it. One cannot look indifferently at the ugliness that is happening around. Certain forms of protest are ripening in the country. The eleventh chapter is the biography of the hero forming the plot, explaining what he was guided by when he committed this or that act.

    The connecting compositional thread is the image of the road (you can learn more about this by reading the essay “ » ), symbolizing the path that the state “under the modest name of Rus” follows in its development.

    Why does Chichikov need dead souls?

    Chichikov is not only cunning, but also pragmatic. His sophisticated mind is ready to "blind candy" out of nothing. Not having enough capital, being a good psychologist, having gone through a good life school, mastering the art of “flattering everyone” and fulfilling his father’s behest to “save a penny,” he starts a great speculation. It consists in a simple deception of the "powers that be" in order to "warm their hands", in other words, to help out a huge amount of money, thereby providing for himself and his future family, which Pavel Ivanovich dreamed of.

    The names of the dead peasants bought for a pittance were entered into a document that Chichikov could take to the state chamber under the guise of collateral in order to obtain a loan. He would have mortgaged the serfs, like a brooch in a pawnshop, and could have mortgaged them all his life, since none of the officials checked the physical condition of people. For this money, the businessman would buy both real workers and an estate, and heal on a grand scale, enjoying the favor of the nobles, because the wealth of the landowner was measured by the representatives of the nobility in the number of souls (peasants were then called "souls" in the noble slang). In addition, the hero of Gogol hoped to gain trust in society and to marry a wealthy heiress.

    Main idea

    The hymn to the homeland and people, a distinctive feature of which is hard work, sounds on the pages of the poem. The masters of golden hands became famous for their inventions, their creativity. The Russian peasant is always “rich for inventions”. But there are also those citizens who hinder the development of the country. These are vicious officials, ignorant and inactive landowners and swindlers like Chichikov. For their own good, the good of Russia and the world, they must take the path of correction, realizing the ugliness of their inner peace... For this, Gogol mercilessly ridicules their entire first volume, but in the subsequent parts of the work the author intended to show the resurrection of the spirit of these people using the example of the protagonist. Perhaps he felt the falsity of the subsequent chapters, lost faith in the fact that his dream was achievable, so he burned it along with the second part of Dead Souls.

    Nevertheless, the author showed that the main wealth of the country is the broad soul of the people. It is no coincidence that this word is included in the title. The writer believed that the revival of Russia would begin with the revival of human souls, pure, untainted by any sins, selfless. Not just believing in the country's free future, but making a lot of efforts on this rapid road to happiness. "Russia, where are you rushing?" This question runs through the entire book as a refrain and emphasizes the main thing: the country should live in constant movement towards the best, the most advanced, progressive. Only on this path "other peoples and states give it the way." We wrote a separate essay about the path of Russia:?

    Why did Gogol burn the second volume of Dead Souls?

    At some point, the mind of the writer begins to dominate the idea of ​​a messiah, which makes it possible to “foresee” the revival of Chichikov and even Plyushkin. Gogol hopes to reverse the progressing "transformation" of man into a "dead man." But, faced with reality, the author is deeply disappointed: the heroes and their fates emerge from the pen as far-fetched, lifeless. Did not work out. The impending crisis in the worldview was the reason for the destruction of the second book.

    The surviving excerpts from the second volume clearly show that the writer portrays Chichikov not in the process of repentance, but in flight to the abyss. He still succeeds in adventures, puts on a devilish red coat and breaks the law. His exposure does not bode well, because in his reaction the reader will not see sudden insight or shame. He doesn't even believe in the possibility of such fragments ever existing. Gogol did not want to sacrifice artistic truth even for the realization of his own idea.

    Problematic

    1. Thorns on the path of development of the Motherland are the main problem in the poem "Dead Souls", about which the author was worried. These include bribery and embezzlement of officials, infantilism and inactivity of the nobility, ignorance and poverty of the peasants. The writer strove to make his own contribution to the prosperity of Russia, condemning and ridiculing vices, raising new generations of people. For example, Gogol despised praise as a cover for the emptiness and idleness of existence. The life of a citizen should be useful for society, and most of the heroes of the poem are frankly harmful.
    2. Moral problems. He considers the lack of moral norms among the representatives of the ruling class as the result of their ugly passion for hoarding. The landlords are ready to shake the soul out of the peasant for the sake of profit. Also, the problem of egoism comes to the fore: the nobles, like officials, think only about their own interests, homeland for them is an empty weightless word. High society does not care about the common people, it just uses them for their own purposes.
    3. The crisis of humanism. People are sold like animals, lost at cards, like things, pawned like decorations. Slavery is legalized and not considered immoral or unnatural. Gogol shed light on the problem of serfdom in Russia globally, showing both sides of the coin: the mentality of a serf, inherent in a serf, and the tyranny of a master who is confident in his superiority. All these are the consequences of the tyranny that pervades relationships in all strata of society. It corrupts people and destroys the country.
    4. The author's humanism is manifested in attention to the "little man", critical exposure of the vices of the state system. Gogol did not even try to avoid political problems. He described a bureaucratic apparatus that functions only on the basis of bribery, nepotism, embezzlement and hypocrisy.
    5. Gogol's characters are characterized by the problem of ignorance and moral blindness. Because of her, they do not see their moral squalor and are unable to independently get out of the vulgarity that engulfs them.

    What is the originality of the work?

    Adventurousness, realistic reality, a sense of the presence of the irrational, philosophical reasoning about earthly good - all this is closely intertwined, creating an "encyclopedic" picture of the first half of the XIX centuries.

    Gogol achieves this by using various techniques of satire, humor, visual means, numerous details, rich vocabulary, and compositional features.

  • Symbolism plays an important role. Falling into the mud "predicts" the future exposure of the main character. The spider weaves its webs to capture another victim. Like an "unpleasant" insect, Chichikov skillfully conducts his "business", "entangling" landlords and officials with a noble lie. "Sounds" like the pathos of the forward movement of Russia and affirms human self-improvement.
  • We observe the heroes through the prism of "comic" situations, apt author's expressions and characteristics given by other characters, sometimes built on the antithesis: "he was a prominent person" - but only "by sight".
  • The vices of the heroes of "Dead Souls" become a continuation of positive character traits. For example, Plyushkin's monstrous stinginess is a distortion of the former thrift and thrift.
  • In small lyrical "inserts" - the thoughts of the writer, difficult thoughts, anxious "I". In them we feel the highest creative message: to help humanity change for the better.
  • The fate of people who create works for the people or not to please the "powers that be" does not leave Gogol indifferent, because in literature he saw a force capable of "re-educating" society and contributing to its civilized development. Social strata of society, their position in relation to everything national: culture, language, traditions - take a serious place in the author's digressions. When it comes to Russia and its future, through the centuries we hear the confident voice of the “prophet” predicting the difficult future of the Fatherland, but striving for a bright dream.
  • Philosophical reflections on the frailty of life, on the departed youth and impending old age bring sadness. That is why the tender "fatherly" appeal to the youth is so natural, on whose energy, hard work and education it depends on which "path" the development of Russia will go.
  • The language is truly folk. The forms of colloquial, bookish and written-business speech are harmoniously woven into the fabric of the poem. Rhetorical questions and exclamations, the rhythmic construction of individual phrases, the use of Slavicisms, archaisms, sonorous epithets create a certain structure of speech that sounds solemn, excited and sincere, without a shadow of irony. When describing landlord estates and their owners, the vocabulary is typical for everyday speech. The image of the bureaucratic world is saturated with the vocabulary of the depicted environment. we described in the essay of the same name.
  • The solemnity of comparisons, high style in combination with original speech create a sublimely ironic manner of storytelling, serving to debunk the base, vulgar world of the owners.

1. What is the general concept of Dead Souls?

Gogol, long and persistently reflecting on the purpose of his creation, came to the conclusion that his goal was to show the whole of Russia with its inherent contradictory features, the true Russian man in all its completeness, with the versatility of national characters and characteristics. The writer wanted to reveal to us all the hidden corners of the Russian soul, eating up the flaws and hidden dignities of the Russian person from the inside, surrounded by the everyday web of trifles, deeds and events. Gogol, thinking about the future work, begins to feel even missionary power in himself: he is burning with the desire to help his fatherland by awakening the "dead", asleep soul of the Russian man with the best medicine - cleansing laughter. The poem was intended as a revealing, salvific tool for "dormant" Russia, Gogol believed that it was his duty, his opportunity to be as useful in his writing as any ordinary civil servant is useful to his fatherland. Nikolai Vasilievich intended to create a grandiose, all-encompassing work, consisting of three interrelated parts that follow from one another. They symbolized Russia's unique path from "lethargic sleep" to awareness, awakening, purification and rapid moral self-development.

Thus, we can say that the concept of the poem "Dead Souls" was the broadest in its scope of characters, characters, ideas, events and phenomena of complex Russian life.

2. What conflicting principles of plot and composition formed the basis of the poem?

The poem "Dead Souls" seems to be contradictory already in the genre of the work indicated by the author. After all, as we know from the definition, a poem is a genre of literature, characterized by a poetic form. It turns out that Gogol expands the existing genre framework and creates, as we now call it, a prose poem. Why did this happen? The answer lies in yet another contradiction: reflecting on his creation, the writer firmly held on to the idea of ​​creating an incredibly large-scale, universal work, wanted to liken it, equate it with an epic, drawing an analogy between such huge works as “ The Divine Comedy»Dante and Homer's poems. And the implementation of all these thoughts in prose was possible only thanks to numerous lyrical digressions in the course of the narrative, reminding the reader of the grandeur of the plan, of its further development along an as yet unknown but great path.

And, finally, one of the main plot and compositional contradictions is the possibility of the very realization of all of Gogol's ideas. The writer literally dreamed of creating a work that would have the strongest impact on all readers. In it, he wanted to vividly and accurately show the degradation, stagnation, awakening and becoming on the true path of vicious Russian souls. However, he did not want to simply present to the world the artistic ideal that had arisen in his head. On the contrary, with all his strength and genius, he tried to draw a living person, as if standing next to us, tangible and really existing. The writer wanted to literally embody a person, breathe a living spirit into him. And this tragically contradicted the actual implementation: such a task was not only beyond the power of Gogol, but also beyond the control of the time allotted to the creator himself.

3. Is there a contradiction in the combination of "dead souls"? What meanings does this combination hide?

The contradiction in this phrase is obvious: after all, this is a literary oxymoron (such are, for example, "living corpse", "sad joy", etc.). But, turning to the poem itself, we find other meanings.

Firstly, "dead souls" are simply dead serfs, the "hunt" for which is Chichikov's main task in order to achieve his personal well-being.

But here, and this is secondly, another meaning is revealed, which is more important for the ideological component of the work. "Dead souls" are "rotten", vicious souls of that landlord and bureaucratic circle in which Chichikov revolves. These souls have forgotten what a real life is, full of pure, noble feelings and adherence to human duty. Outwardly, all these people seem to be alive, they talk, walk, eat, etc. But their inner content, their spiritual content is dead, it will either sink into oblivion forever, or it can be revived with tremendous effort and suffering.

Thirdly, there is another hidden meaning of the phrase. It represents a religious-philosophical idea. According to Christian teaching, the human soul cannot be dead by definition, it is always alive, only the body can die.

It turns out that Gogol enhances the significance of rebirth, renewal of the “dirty” soul, likening it to simple human flesh.

Thus, we can say that even such a short and succinct title of the poem helps the writer to convey and reveal a huge variety of ideas and themes displayed in the work.

4. How is the concept of "Dead Souls" connected with Gogol's religious and moral searches?

The writer's religious and moral quest is directly related to the concept of Dead Souls. We can say that the entire work is built on religious, moral and philosophical ideas.

Nikolai Vasilievich tried to show in the poem the degeneration of "sinners" into "righteous". He closely linked the moral re-education and self-education of the protagonist with Christian dogma. After all, living in a Christian way means living according to divine commandments, in the observance of which the best features of a person are displayed. To believe in one God, to be respectful, not to envy, not to steal or steal, to be respectful and generally righteous in essence - this is the religious and moral ideal that Gogol wanted to embody in the work. He believed that the transformation of a thoroughly vicious person is still possible with the help of laughing at oneself, cleansing suffering, and then accepting adherence to the truth. Moreover, the writer believed that such an example of the reincarnation of a Russian person, and soon the whole of Russia, could serve as a "beacon" for other nations and even for the whole world. It is possible that he dreamed of an unattainable ideal - a universal, universal rebirth from the abyss of sins and the establishment of righteousness.

Gogol closely linked his searches with the idea of ​​the poem, literally weaving these thoughts into the entire “canvas” of the work.

5. Why do some of the characters in the poem have biographies while others do not?

The poem shows the characters of many landowners, describes their life, preferences, customs. But only two people have a background, a story about their past. This is Plyushkin and Chichikov.

The fact is that such personalities as Korobochka, Manilov, Sobakevich, Nozdryov and others are shown vividly, "in all their glory" and very believable, we can completely add up our impression of them and predict their future fate for them. These characters are representatives of the "stagnation" of the human essence, they are what they are, with all their vices and imperfections, and they will no longer become different.

As for Chichikov and Plyushkin, here is one of the facets of the great idea of ​​the writer. These two heroes, according to the author, are still capable of development, renewal of their souls. Therefore, both Plyushkin and Chichikov have a biography. Gogol wanted to lead the reader along the entire line of their life, to show a complete picture of the formation of their character, and then the transformation and new formation of characters in subsequent volumes. Indeed, in fact, it is impossible to understand the whole essence of a person until you get acquainted with his entire history, with all his life's vicissitudes, and Gogol was well aware of this.

Based on the foregoing, it is obvious that the writer did not build any detail of his narrative by chance, but according to certain principles that help to realize his idea in the most complete way.
