Plot:
The young nobleman Alexander Andreevich Chatsky returns from abroad to his beloved Sofya Pavlovna Famusova, whom he has not seen for three years. Young people grew up together and loved each other since childhood. Sophia was offended by Chatsky because he suddenly abandoned her, left for St. Petersburg and "did not write three words."
Chatsky arrives at Famusov's house with the decision to marry Sophia. Contrary to his expectations, Sophia meets him very coldly. Turns out she's in love with someone else. Her chosen one is the young secretary Alexei Stepanovich Molchalin, who lives in her father's house. Chatsky cannot understand "who is nice" to Sophia. In Molchalin, he sees only "the most miserable creature" not worthy of Sofya Pavlovna's love, who does not know how to love passionately and selflessly. In addition, Chatsky despises Molchalin for trying to please everyone, for honoring rank. Upon learning that it was such a person who won Sophia's heart, Chatsky is disappointed in his beloved.
Chatsky pronounces eloquent monologues in which he denounces Moscow society (the ideologist of which is Sophia's father Pavel Afanasyevich Famusov). However, there are rumors in society about Chatsky's madness, launched by an annoyed Sophia. At the end of the play, Chatsky decides to leave Moscow.
In the comedy, only 2 classical unities are observed: place and time (the action takes place in Famusov's house during the day); the third unity - action - is absent, in the work there are 2 storylines: Chatsky's love and confrontation between Chatsky and Moscow society. The main idea of the tragicomedy: the protest of a free person "against the vile Russian reality." (A. S. Griboedov).

What is the meaning of the finale of A.S. Griboyedov’s play “Woe from Wit”? “Get out of Moscow, I don’t come here anymore ...”. That was the last phrase of Chasky, what did it mean besides the banal meaning that he would never return to this city, what did the author put into the last monologue of the protagonist?
Chatsky throughout the work was opposed to the inhabitants of the Famusov house. His character and mindset brought only problems, he did not have the practical mind of Molchalin. By definition, a person like Chatsky cannot be the head of state.
This requires the Molchalins, who always know who and what to say, where and with whom to meet, where and when to go, they are part of any company, they are able to pull the tension in society onto themselves and get out of it untouched. And people like Chatsky are always pushed out of society for security purposes. They raise mud from the bottom, but it will settle down, everything will fall into place thanks to the Molchalins. And this is understandable, an unstable society cannot exist, which means people with the mind of Chatsky should be pushed out of it, they have no place here ... That is why the main character leaves Moscow, he was almost kicked out of Famusov's house, his behavior was impossible to perceive ...

Topic: famous sayings, sayings, phrases, quotes from "Woe from Wit". Reference: A comedy in verse "Woe from Wit" - A. S. Griboyedov - is a work from a classic of Russian literature. She describes the life of a secular society in 1822, the time of serfdom, ten years after the war of 1812.
Comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824)- a satire on the aristocratic Moscow society of the first half of the 19th century - one of the pinnacles of Russian drama and poetry.

“Never a single nation has been so scourged, never a single country has been dragged so in the mud, never so much rude abuse has been thrown into the face of the public, and, however, more complete success has never been achieved” (P. Chaadaev. “Apology of a Madman” ).
Many phrases from the play, including its title, have become winged. Pushkin's prediction about this work came true: "Half of the poems should become a proverb."

She has no sleep from French books,
And it hurts me to sleep from the Russians.
Famusov
Chatsky
What new will Moscow show me?
Yesterday there was a ball, and tomorrow there will be two.
Chatsky
Ranks are given by people,
And people can be deceived.
Chatsky
In my summers must not dare
Have your own opinion.
Molchalin
Silencers are blissful in the world!
Chatsky
And, however, he will reach the known degrees,
After all, today they love the dumb.
Chatsky
No other pattern needed
When in the eyes of an example of a father.
Famusov
There is also a mixture of languages:
French with Nizhny Novgorod?
Chatsky
I'm strange, but who's not strange?
The one who looks like all fools;
Molchalin, for example ...
It is dark in the eyes, and the soul froze;
Sin is not a problem, rumor is not good.
Lisa
I'm happy when I meet funny people
And most of the time I miss them.
Chatsky
Of course, he does not have this mind,
What a genius for others, and for others a plague.
Sofia
When in business - I hide from fun,
When I'm fooling around, I'm fooling around
And to mix these two crafts
There are plenty of artisans, I'm not one of them.
Chatsky
Although there are hunters to scoff everywhere,
Yes, now laughter frightens and keeps shame in check;
It is not for nothing that sovereigns favor them sparingly.
Chatsky
Think how capricious happiness is!
Sofia
O! if someone penetrated people:
What's worse about them? Soul or language?
Chatsky
A little light - already on your feet! And I am at your feet.
Chatsky
There are strange dreams, but in reality it is stranger.
Famusov
My custom is this:
Signed, so off your shoulders.
Famusov
Fate, naughty - minx,
I defined it myself:
All stupid - happiness from madness,
All smart - woe from the mind.
epigraph to "Woe from Wit", written not by A.S. Griboyedov
What is my rumor? Who wants to judge.
Sofia
In addition to honesty, there are many joys:
They scold here, but there they thank.
Chatsky
So! I sobered up completely
Dreams out of sight - and the veil fell.
Chatsky
Why not a husband?
There is only little mind in him;
But to have children
Who lacked intelligence?
Chatsky
Fate seemed to take care of us;
No worry, no doubt...
And grief is waiting around the corner.
Sofia
The fate of love is to play blind man's blind man.
Chatsky
Yes, at least someone is embarrassed
Quick questions and a curious look…
Sofia
I'll tell you the truth about you
Which is worse than any lie.
Platon Mikhailovich Gorich
In Russia, under a great fine,
We are told to recognize each
Historian and geographer!
Chatsky
Yes, no urine. A million torments
Breasts from a friendly vice
Feet from shuffling, ears from exclamations,
And more than a head from all sorts of trifles.
Chatsky
Pardon me, we are not guys;
Why are other people's opinions only holy?
Chatsky
He didn’t utter a smart word,
I don't care what's for him, what's in the water.
Sofia
I don't remember anything, don't bother me.
Memories! Like a sharp knife.
Sofia
Husband-boy, husband-servant, from the wife's pages -
The lofty ideal of all Moscow men.
Chatsky
Where, show us, fathers of the fatherland,
Which should we take as samples?
Are not these rich in robbery?
They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,
Magnificent building chambers,
Where they overflow in feasts and extravagance,
And where foreign clients will not resurrect
The meanest traits of the past life.
Yes, and who in Moscow did not clamp their mouths
Lunches, dinners and dances?
Chatsky
(January 4, 1795 - January 30, 1829) - Russian diplomat, poet, playwright and composer.
Alexander Sergeevich was one of the most educated, talented and noble nobles of the 19th century. The scope of his creative activity is extensive. He was not only an excellent playwright and poet, the author of the famous "Woe from Wit", but also a talented composer, a polyglot who spoke ten languages.
During the Russo-Persian War, he actively participated in negotiations with representatives of the Persian Shah and the development of key conditions for the Turkmenchay Peace Treaty (1828), which was beneficial for Russia.
The merits of the diplomat were marked by his appointment as Russian ambassador to Persia. On the way to Persia, he lived for several months in Tiflis, where he married the 16-year-old Georgian princess Nina Chavchavadze. Their relationship, full of romanticism and love, was imprinted for centuries in her words, engraved on the tombstone of Alexander Sergeevich: “Your mind and deeds are immortal in Russian memory, but why did you survive you, my love?”. They lived only a few months in marriage, but this woman carried loyalty to her husband through the rest of her life.
On January 30, 1829, the Russian embassy in Tehran was attacked by a brutal mob of religious fanatics. Several dozen Cossacks and employees led by Griboyedov, who defended the embassy, were brutally killed. All the defenders of the mission died, including Griboyedov.
Alexander Sergeevich Griboyedov lived only 34 years. He managed to create only one literary work and two waltzes. But they glorified his name throughout the civilized world.
