The ambiguous and even somewhat scandalous story "Dubrovsky" was written by A. S. Pushkin in 1833. By that time, the author had already grown up, lived in secular society, to be disappointed with him and the existing state order. Many of his works, related to that time, were under censorship.
And so Pushkin writes about a certain “Dubrovsky”, a young, but already experienced, disappointed, but not broken by worldly “storms”, a man of 23 years old. There is no point in retelling the plot - everyone has read it and knows it by heart. The main question is whether Vladimir Dubrovsky is a “robber”. Question #2: “Can a “robber” be a “noble”?
Let us take a history lying on the surface, from which Pushkin's story V in a certain sense reminiscent of Robin Hood. famous character English-language folklore, supposedly a real person or collective image, symbolizing the eternal craving of the common people, oppressed and robbed mercilessly, to the "defender" and "benefactor". To take away from the rich, on someone else's grief-misfortune of those who grow fat, and distribute it "as needed."
Here, in the text of "Dubrovsky", in several places the mythical "robbery" of non-poor gentlemen is mentioned. And also - the "release" of the poor son after "reading the letter of his mother." Explicit associations, in my opinion.
I would like to say that, according to my personal conviction, a “robber” cannot be noble. Like a swindler, bandit, rapist or murderer. All of them, by definition, cannot be either “noble”, or kind, or honest, or fair. Taking away - you will not bring peace and harmony. Perhaps the exception is Yuri Detochkin from E. Ryazanov's wonderful comedy "Beware of the Car". After all, he carefully checked the data on the owners of cars acquired dishonestly ... But this, of course, is a comedic hero, brought to the point of absurdity.
So, since robbers are not noble, and Dubrovsky is undoubtedly noble, therefore, he is not a robber at all. But then, who is he? After all, there was an arson in which the clerks were burned. Servants and workers were set free. There were raids, raids and robberies (the evidence of which, however, is rather doubtful). Why is all this a hereditary nobleman, a refined and metropolitan gentleman, worthy manners and pure blood?
It seems to me that all this was done in order to intimidate and impress well-fed and self-satisfied landowners, from Troekurov to the last neighbor, whose name the author did not deign to indicate. To show to all of them (and at the same time to us, the readers, and the censorship authorities, and perhaps the Russian sovereign himself), that an honest man can lead to crime. That the noble poor will not endure state injustice until the end of time. And also (here we got to the main thing) - the people themselves are multimillion. Harassment must have a limit. Otherwise, the peasants will rebel, they will burn everything, break it and go to the forest to rob. How Alexander Sergeevich looked into the water ...
- We learn about Anton Pafnutich Spitsyn closer to the middle of the story. He comes to Troekurov's temple feast and makes, it must be said, not the most favorable impression. Before us is a "fat man of about fifty", having a round and pockmarked face with a triple chin. Obsequiously, with a sycophantic smile, he “stumbled into the dining room”, apologizing and bowing. Here at the table we learn that he is not distinguished by courage. Spitsyn is afraid of the robbers who have already burned down his barn and are approaching the estate. Fear […]

The image of a romantic noble robber is quite common in literature. Usually, these are people who, for whatever reason, become unnecessary in society. They are betrayed by friends and relatives, acquaintances turn away from them, and they cannot achieve anything legally, since the law is imperfect in such cases. Pushkin's story is about such a person, and after reading it, everyone begins to wonder why Dubrovsky became a robber?
Did Dubrovsky want such a share for himself?
The fate of a person can very often change depending on the circumstances. And, for sure, the young cornet did not suspect what would happen to him. He was brought up in the famous St. Petersburg Corps of Cadets, continued military service and would have achieved a lot. If not for the occasion.
A misfortune occurs on his native estate: his old father quarrels with a friend and falls ill. Vladimir goes to him without a moment's hesitation. On the way, he learns about everyone tragic events, and after the death of his father, he performs an act worthy romantic hero: burns the estate and goes to the forest. He is surrounded by peasants who also do not like injustice and the power of money. Their devoted attitude towards Dubrovsky creates certain rules in the gang of robbers, to which everyone obeys.
All members of the gang understand their hopelessness and what awaits them in the future. Therefore, they rob and burn the estates, with each case toughening their actions. But the peasants do not touch Troekurov's Pokrovskoye estate: Masha lives there, who has become close and dear to Vladimir. He fell in love with her and refused revenge, but he is no longer able to stop the lawlessness of his comrades.
Reason for reincarnation
An officer with a bright future turns into a robber. Let fair, but the robber. And the reasons lie not only in himself. Yes, he is brave, decisive, even desperate. And around him is a rotten society. The noble robber Vladimir Dubrovsky lost all faith in law and justice. He begins to act in his own ways, but even so, he retains moral principles. His image of a robber is much purer and higher than these high-ranking officials and tyrants of landlords.
But, feeling sympathy for his hero, Pushkin reveals the real irony of such a reincarnation: having become a robber, Vladimir fell in love with the daughter of his enemy. He refused revenge. It turns out that all his actions committed earlier were in vain. You can try to explain his behavior, but you can’t justify his actions in any way. He broke the law, and no matter how hero Dubrovsky was for his peasants, he is a criminal. He committed murders, bringing events to a bloody massacre at the end of the story.
The basis for the novel by A. S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky" was real events- mass uprisings of peasants who were dissatisfied with their lives after the war of 1812. Main character books - a young nobleman Vladimir Dubrovsky, noble robber. The events unfolding on the pages of the work are directly related to his life and fate.
Dubrovsky is a noble robber. Summary
For a deeper understanding of the image of Vladimir, it is necessary to refer to the content of the book.
The fathers of the protagonist and Masha Troekurova were neighbors and comrades. They are both widows. Once Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky, while visiting Troekurov, spoke disapprovingly of the poor living conditions of his servants compared to dogs. In response to this, one of the kennel declares that "it would be nice for another gentleman to exchange the estate for a dog kennel."
Father Dubrovsky leaves and in a letter demands an apology from Troekurov. The tone of the letter does not suit Kirill Petrovich. At the same time, Andrei Gavrilovich finds Troekurov's serfs in his possessions, stealing the forest. He takes away their horses and orders them to be whipped. Troekurov decides to take revenge on his neighbor by illegally taking possession of his estate, the village of Kistenevka.
Because of strong feelings Andrei Gavrilovich is weakening. A letter is sent to his son, Vladimir, and he comes to the village.
Kirill Petrovich understands that he treated his old friend badly and goes to him to make peace, but when he sees him, old Dubrovsky dies.
The house is handed over to Troekurov. The serfs do not want to go to another master. Vladimir orders the house to be burned down, the officials who were inside die from the fire.
Soon, a gang of robbers begins to operate in the vicinity, robbing the estates. There is a rumor that the leader of the robbers is the young Dubrovsky.
Vladimir, as a French teacher, ends up in Troekurov's house. Masha and young Dubrovsky fall in love with each other.
Vladimir opens up to the girl and disappears, as it becomes clear that Dubrovsky and the teacher are the same person.
Masha proposes to 50-year-old Prince Vereisky. Troyekurov orders his daughter to marry him. Dubrovsky asks Masha for a date, puts a ring on her. Masha hopes that she can convince her father.
However, Troekurov does not give in, and he and Vereisky decide to speed up the wedding.
Masha and the prince are getting married. On the way back they come across Dubrovsky. The noble robber offers Masha release. Vereisky wounds Dubrovsky. Masha is married, so she refuses to run away with Vladimir. Dubrovsky dissolves the gang.
The image of Dubrovsky at the beginning of the novel
On the first pages of the book, Vladimir appears before us as a young nobleman, the only son of his father. He received a good upbringing and education, is serving. Dubrovsky leads fun life spends his father's money, does not think about the future.
The reason for the changes in the inner world and outlook on life
The news of the illness of his father, whom he loved very much, excited young man. His death and the loss of the estate changed the character of Vladimir. After the funeral, he realizes how lonely he is. Dubrovsky first thinks about the future. Now he is responsible not only for himself, but also for his peasants.
Dubrovsky's revenge
"Dubrovsky is a noble robber." An essay on this topic is offered to eighth grade students in each school. I want to understand if he is noble, given that he is driven by a desire for revenge? Revenge for all those who were wronged unfairly. He robs the rich and kills no one. His image takes on romantic features.
Obsessed with retribution, he infiltrates the house of his enemy disguised as the Frenchman Desforges. However, love for Marya Kirillovna violates his plans, and he abandons them. The nobility of nature overcomes the desire for revenge.
Why was Dubrovsky called a noble robber?
Vladimir Dubrovsky embarked on the path of robbery, as he saw no other way out of the situation that had developed in his life. He could not allow family estate went to Troekurov. Dubrovsky ordered the house to be set on fire, but at the same time to unlock the door so that the officials could run out. Arkhip did not listen to the master, and people burned down. He did not count on the indulgence of the judges in considering this incident, since they did not spare his father in a just cause. Dubrovsky with a gang of serfs embarked on the path of robbery. So for Vladimir began a completely different life.
To answer the question why Dubrovsky is a noble robber, you need to remember the content of the book. As it is written in the novel, the gang led by Vladimir robbed only rich people. Although the robbers terrified everyone, they did not kill anyone. For this they were called noble.
However, having embarked on this slippery path, Dubrovsky, a noble robber, pursued by government troops, is nevertheless forced to abandon his principles and commit the murder of an officer.
To answer the question why it was called that, it is also necessary to compare life circumstances and features inner world this young man. Vladimir is from noble family, a representative of the noble class, the son of a man who was distinguished by directness, courage, enjoyed the respect of wealthy neighbors and the serfs entrusted to him. He took over from his father many positive traits, but, like Andrei Gavrilovich, young Dubrovsky was prone to vehemence and did not tolerate injustice. After the loss of his father, he becomes the leader of a gang of people devoted to him.
For all these reasons, Dubrovsky is a noble robber.
How does the author feel about the hero?
Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, of course, sympathizes with the protagonist of this novel. He endows him with such qualities as kindness, honesty, the ability to love and forgive. However, he debunks the myth of Vladimir's nobility, explaining that an honest and decent person cannot leave people loyal to him to their fate and hide abroad. A noble person is responsible for his actions.
