Comedy A.S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit" has not lost its relevance for the second century. The times are different, but the people are the same. modern society characteristic of all the problems that were so close to that time.
In our time, we, like the heroes of the play, are not alien to the problem of "fathers and children." It sounds extremely topical in the unstable times in which we live. Now the misunderstanding between generations is increasing, the relationship between parents and children is becoming more and more aggressive, but in fact the reasons remain the same as several centuries ago. Just like Famusov, any modern parent is ready to do everything possible for the good life of his child, sometimes completely ignoring the dreams and desires of the child himself. Famusov seeks to successfully marry Sophia. None other than Skalozub, a successful military man, according to a caring father, is suitable for the role of Sophia's future husband. But Sophia herself needs a completely different person, in Molchalin she found the ideal of a man. We observe a similar situation in Galina Shcherbakova's modern story "The Door to Another's Life".
Often two generations clash in their political and ideological views. In our country, nepotism, servility and servility still remain in high esteem. What Famusov recognizes as the mind, Chatsky seems to be madness. IN Famus society“He was famous for whose neck bent more often,” Chatsky, on the other hand, is vile for length of service and patronage, and to Famusov’s reasonable advice to serve, he replies: “I would be glad to serve, it’s sickening to serve.” Nothing has changed, serving the Fatherland is still ambiguous. The ball is ruled by all the same officials, for whom the relative is more important than any professional worker, and the flatterer is the first in the list of employees. Because of all this bureaucratic red tape and bureaucracy, the country is losing its minds - more and more people are striving to go abroad, because only there they will be appreciated according to their merits. Perhaps Chatsky did the same, leaving Moscow with the words: “I don’t come here anymore!”
The problem of upbringing and education, raised in comedy, remains a key one in modern times. Society will always need enlightenment, because it does not stand still, it always develops. Just as then Famusov read the newspapers of the times of the Ochakovskys and the conquest of the Crimea, so now the main source of judgment for the older generation is the Soviet ideology.
We must not stand still - we must grow and develop, therefore we do not need "teachers of the regiment, more in number, at a cheaper price", we must eradicate nepotism and give way to a new generation of purposeful and educated people. Thus, while reading the comedy "Woe from Wit", we feel those moods that are so close modern man, precisely because the play has not lost its relevance in our time.

The great Woland said that manuscripts do not burn. Proof of this is the fate of Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov's brilliant comedy Woe from Wit, one of the most controversial works in the history of Russian literature.

A comedy with a political twist, continuing the tradition of such masters of satire as Krylov and Fonvizin, quickly became popular and served as a harbinger of the coming rise of Ostrovsky and Gorky.

Although the comedy was written as early as 1825, it came out only eight years later, outliving its creator. Despite the fact that the manuscript was subjected to tsarist censorship, the people of Russia appreciated it - the comedy was admired as simple people and members of the nobility.

Comedy reveals all the ulcers and vices that suffered Russian empire, primarily serfdom.

The main character is Alexander Chatsky - a personality as bright as tragic.

What allowed small work enter the number of immortal creations of the pen? First, the lively style of writing, sharp criticism everything bad and ugly that was in those days. Almost every phrase of the book became winged and firmly entered the modern language.

Living language is just one of the many virtues of the book, of which it has many.

The struggle of heart and mind and its influence on the flow of ideological battles is the central moment in comedy. After all main character pierced by Cupid's arrow, which prevents him from soberly assessing the situation. His erudition and brilliant intellect were unable to notice the changes that had taken place in his beloved Sophia. Emotion blinded Chatsky, making him look insane in the eyes of society.

After reading the comedy, the reader sympathizes with Chatsky, sharing his mental anguish.

Almost two centuries have passed, and the cart has not moved. Modern Molchalins, Skalozubs and others like them are still at the pinnacle of power. A worthy people forced to fight hard for a place in the sun.

The golden calf rules the show today - power and the presence of millions in the bank are valued higher than spiritual development. To be an intellectual today means to doom oneself to difficulties.

The last cry of the hero's soul pierces the reader to the depths of the heart, and one can only admire the prophetic gift of Griboedov, who foresaw the future. It is painful to see that in 174 years society has not changed its priorities.

What is the reason for such inertia, which has persisted for centuries? One of the heroes, Famusov, sees the answer in the fact that there are more madmen than ever. They themselves are insane, and the deeds that they do, and the beliefs that they follow.

This comedy will always be relevant until the attitude towards culture and education, the two pillars of moral development, changes in Russia.

The hidden meaning of "Woe from Wit" calls on people to fight darkness - ignorance, indifference to problems and inertia of thinking.

For today's youth, it is most important to follow the principles of Chatsky in relation to education and their activities. Chatsky knew how to have fun when he was resting, but in business he was serious and urged never to mix fun and work.

A.S. Griboyedov

There are brilliant works of literature. And there are brilliant names of brilliant works. Those in which their constituent words seem to merge into one concept. Because before us is not just a title literary composition, but the name of some phenomenon. Such titles, such works, even in great literature will hardly get more than a dozen. Griboyedov's comedy is one of them.

Alexander Sergeevich Griboedov is 200 years old. Of the inconclusively established dates of his miraculous birth one is chosen and here we celebrate! The Famusovs are in boxes, Skalozubs got into generals, Sophia and Liza delight the eyes in the ranks of the social movement "Women Russia", the Molchalins are blissful in ministries and committees. And the judges Who?...

There is no play more lively and more modern than Woe from Wit. So it was, so is, it will be.

A truly great work, such as Woe from Wit, resists reappraisal. There is no getting away from the fact that Griboyedov was closely related to the Decembrists. Another thing is that our understanding of Decembrism as a social movement has been refined over the years. We are more aware of some tragic features Russian public life, especially the age-old traditions of totalitarianism. This explains a lot in national history, up to the present day. It is important for us that "Woe crazy" is not a "black and white" satire on social order as taught At school. The writer was occupied not with "system", not with "system", but with social psychology. And it's not black and white at all. Listen: Famusov and Chatsky they often talk about the same thing. "And all the Kuznetsky bridge, and eternal French!..." Famusov grumbles. And Chatsky is preoccupied with "so that smart, our peppy people, although they didn’t consider us Germans by language. "Both of them are unconditional patriots, both are Russian people to the core, they share a lot, but they have a lot in common, that's the tragedy of this comedy, that's why "a million torments". And "system", "system" - well, they can change, but Famusov, Repetilov, Molchalin, Skalozub are eternal. And Chatsky is eternal.

When we are in last time saw live Chatsky? It was Academician Sakharov. Different time, age, appearance, language, but the essence is the same: Chatsky! The same one whom Pushkin condescendingly reproached, arguing that in "Woe from Wit" one clever man- Griboyedov himself, and Chatsky is a kind fellow who spent some time in his company and utters smart speeches from his voice - in front of whom? Before the Skalozubs and the Tugoukhovskys? But the fact of the matter is that Pushkin is not quite right: one must speak. Before those with whom history brought you together. Even without understanding. What has been said will not be lost. Griboedov convinced him of this. Sakharov convinced him of this. What do these two Russian people have in common, except that they Russians? Mind. Both of them were outstanding minds of their time.

The inexhaustibility of "Woe from Wit" opens in the misunderstood Chatsky and unsolved Repetilov ...

The present age and the past...

Which of the Russians did not consider their age the most incredible? Seems, both Pushkin and Griboedov heard the usual complaints about time, otherwise they are so different heroes, like Famusov and Duke, would not lament so unanimously: " Terrible age! You don’t know what to start ..,” says Famusov. And the Duke echoes him: “A terrible age, terrible hearts!”

Maybe we will guess that the times differ only in accessories: ours or not.

Plot basis"Woe from Wit" is the conflict between the young nobleman Chatsky and the society from which he himself came. Events unfold in one Moscow aristocratic house during day. But Griboyedov managed to push the temporal and spatial boundaries, giving complete picture life noble society that time and showing something new that was born within it.

Chatsky is a man of extraordinary mind, honest, sincere. In his disputes with Famusov, the appearance of a person who is capable of soberly think, a person who sees the vices of society and wants to fight against them. Griboyedov shows these qualities of Chatsky especially vividly, opposing him to the sycophant and hypocrite Molchalin. This vile man which there is nothing sacred, regularly fulfills the father's covenant: "to please to all people without exception." Molchalin is "a low-flyer and a businessman," as Chatsky characterizes him.

Famusov - a high-ranking official, a conservative to the marrow of his bones, a stupid martinet Skalozub - these are the people Chatsky meets. If Molchalin, Famusov, Skalozub see the meaning of life in their well-being, then Chatsky dreams of benefiting the people he respects and considers "smart and cheerful." At the same time, he despises servility, careerism. He "would be glad to serve," but he was "sickening to be served." Chatsky sharply criticizes this society, mired in hypocrisy and debauchery:

Where, show us, fathers of the fatherland,

Which should we take as samples?

Are not these rich in robbery?

Found protection from fate in friends, in kinship,

Magnificent building chambers,

Where they overflow in feasts and prodigality...

My God, it's like it's written now! And we still argue whether modern comedy. What a blessing this play is! Like all of us together and individually, Griboyedov dreamed of happiness and freedom. And like no other he deserved freedom and happiness.

Despite the historical tragedy of Russian life, Griboedov lives his comedy "Woe from Wit" in us. He comes back to us like light happiness.
