Twelve years after the Great Patriotic War in 1957 M.A. Sholokhov writes the story "The Fate of a Man", the main character of which is a simple Russian man - Andrei Sokolov.
M. Sholokhov reveals the personality of Andrei Sokolov using various artistic techniques characterizing the actions, showing the relationship of the hero with different people, putting it in different life situations. The story about the fate of Andrei Sokolov is conducted in the first person, which makes the story more objective for the reader, the hero himself characterizes his actions. The author, with the help of artistic and expressive means, evaluates what he heard. Thus, the reader will know the position of the writer. For example, having met Andrey Sokolov, the narrator drew attention to his “big dark hands”, testifying to the hard overwork that fell to his lot, and to “eyes, as if sprinkled with ashes”, talking about what he experienced.
Before the war, Andrey Sokolov lived as usual: “he studied auto business, sat down at the steering wheel on a truck”, married his beloved Irinka, had a son and two daughters, “worked ... these ten years, day and night”, “earned well, ... lived ... Not worse than people". The war changed his life. With particular pain, Andrei Sokolov recalls the scene of farewell to his wife, who “clung ... like a leaf to a branch, and only trembles all over, but cannot utter a word,” the hero then pushed his wife away and cannot forgive himself for this years later, because then it was their last meeting. This is how the author describes the state of Andrei Sokolov after what he said: “... I didn’t see a single tear in his seemingly dead, extinct eyes.” This detail shows the hero's relationship to the past: for him, the events of those days are still the most important in life, Sokolov is still alive, but has "dead eyes".
During the war years, the hero has a real test - captivity. Andrey Sokolov also showed stamina, spiritual firmness, strength of character there too: without hesitation, he killed a traitor who wanted to betray his platoon commander; tried to run. Significant is the scene at the commandant Muller, where they brought Sokolov, hungry, tired after hard work. And here the hero did not flinch: he “drank at a stretch” three glasses of vodka, but did not eat anything, because “I wanted ... to them, damned, to show that although I’m disappearing from hunger, I’m not going to choke on their sop, that I have my own , Russian dignity and pride, and that they did not turn me into a beast, no matter how hard they tried. The courage of the Russian soldier struck Muller. Having received a loaf of bread and a piece of bacon, Andrey Sokolov divided the food between the prisoners equally, "divided without offense." This fact also testifies to the breadth of the Russian soul. Having escaped from captivity, in the hospital the hero learns about the death of his wife and daughters. The death of his loved ones did not harden him, he again dreams of happiness now with his son Anatoly: “The old man’s dreams began at night: how the war will end, as a son I’ll marry and I myself will live with the young, carpentry and babysit grandchildren.” But the war took Andrei Sokolov and his son away. The only thing that the war did not take away from the hero was the feeling dignity, honor, love for people. The Russian soldier did not become hardened, he was able to overcome himself and find a kindred spirit in the little orphan Vanyusha. Andrei Sokolov is the owner of a strong character: he was able to survive in inhuman conditions of Nazi captivity, survived the death of loved ones, found a new son.
The title of the story "The Fate of a Man" is important for understanding the essence of the character of a simple Russian soldier. Life specific person is summarized by the writer and becomes the fate of thousands of Russian people who survived the war and lost loved ones, but retained the main thing - human soul. The humanistic orientation of the story allows the writer to talk about Andrei Sokolov as a real person. The main means of revealing the image of the protagonist is the soldier's monologue-story about himself. Here the author acts as a listener, not giving direct assessments of the events, but only observing the state of Andrei Sokolov: “The narrator was silent for a minute, and then he spoke in a different, intermittent and quiet voice.” The sincerity of the hero made him closer to the author: “An alien, but a person who became close to me, got up, extended a large, hard, like a tree, hand ...”
Thus, the image of Andrei Sokolov, the character of the hero is revealed by the writer through his speech, own characteristic deeds, author's assessment heard, through the title of the story "The fate of man."
Andrey Sokolov - main character Sholokhov's story "The Fate of a Man". His character is truly Russian. How many troubles he endured, what torments he endured, only he himself knows. The hero speaks about this on the pages of the story: “Why did you, life, cripple me like that? Why so distorted? He slowly tells his life from beginning to end to an oncoming fellow traveler, with whom he sat down to light a cigarette by the road.
Sokolov had to go through a lot: hunger, and captivity, and the loss of his family, and the death of his son on the day the war ended. But he endured everything, survived everything, because he had a strong character and iron fortitude. “That’s why you are a man, that’s why you are a soldier, to endure everything, to demolish everything, if the need called for it,” Andrei Sokolov himself said. His Russian character did not allow him to break down, to retreat in the face of difficulties, to surrender to the enemy. He wrested life from death itself.
All the hardships and cruelties of the war that Andrei Sokolov endured did not kill him. human feelings did not harden his heart. When he met little Vanyusha, just as lonely as he was, just as unhappy and useless, he realized that he could become his family. “It will not happen that we disappear separately! I will take him to my children, ”Sokolov decided. And he became a father to a homeless boy.
Sholokhov very accurately revealed the character of a Russian person, simple soldier, who fought not for titles and orders, but for the Motherland. Sokolov is one of those many who fought for the country, not sparing their lives. It embodied the whole spirit of the Russian people - steadfast, strong, invincible.

We walk with him through the pages of his life. Sokolov passes hard way but remains human. A kind, sympathetic person who extends a helping hand to little Vanyusha.
Boy five or six years old. He was left without parents, without a home. His father died at the front, and his mother was killed by a bomb while riding a train. Vanyusha walked around in tattered dirty clothes, and ate what people would serve. When he met Andrei Sokolov, he reached out to him with all his heart. “Folder dear! I knew! I knew you would find me! You can still find it! I've waited so long for you to find me!" Vanyusha shouted with tears in his eyes. For a long time he could not tear himself away from his father, apparently, he was afraid that he would lose him again. But in Vanyusha's memory the image of the real father was preserved, he remembered the leather cloak that he wore. And Sokolov told Vanyusha that he probably lost him in the war.
Two loneliness, two fates are now intertwined so tightly that they will never be separated. The heroes of "The Fate of a Man" Andrey Sokolov and Vanyusha are now together, they are one family. And we understand that they will live according to their conscience, in truth. They will all survive, all will survive, all will be able to.
