Lesson 24 "I WILL GO TO SEARCH IN THE LIGHT WHERE THE OFFENDED FEELING IS A CORNER..."

28.03.2013 18136 3016

Lesson 24 " I will go to look around the world, where there is a corner for an offended feeling ... "
(Act IV analysis)

Goals: improve the skills of analysis of the work; determine the features of Griboedov's innovation in creating a new type of comedy; show the significance of the play for Russian literature.

During the classes

I. Checking homework.

h shadow of popular expressions.

II. Work on the topic of the lesson.

1. The word of the teacher.

Act III was the climax. In act IV, the denouement comes. As the lesson progresses, consider: Does the social conflict end?

So, act IV: the guests go home, Famusov is scolded for a boring ball:

Well, ball! Well, Famusov! Know how to call guests!

... And there is no one to talk to, and no one to dance with.

But then a belated guest appears - Repetilov. What can you say about it? What thoughts are running through his head? Who does the people around him think? (He is a chatterer and a chatterbox, he talks about things that he does not understand anything. His speech combines colloquial and high styles, which creates a comic effect.)

The guests, leaving, are still discussing the madness of "poor" Chatsky. The “sentence” to him is final and cannot be revoked.

Now let's follow the denouement of the love conflict.

2. Reading by roles of 10-13 events.

- What do you think, can Sophia eventually forgive Molchalin and even marry him?

3.Commented reading 14th, 15th apparitions.

- What do you think, does the conflict have a public outcome? (No, it is too deep, goes beyond the scope of the work.)

- Whom and for what does Chatsky denounce in the last monologue?

- Is he fair, throwing accusations to Sofya that she “lured him with hope”?

- What worries Moscow society more: the fate of Chatsky or the opinion of Princess Marya Aleksevna about what happened?

- What do you think, are there any winners in the dispute between the "present century" and the "past century"?

4. The word of the teacher.

Many researchers noted that the image of Chatsky is close to the author himself. He is indifferent to ranks, careers, strives for personal independence; he has the features of a "political freethinker", he is critical of the world. The author emphasizes the complete incompatibility of the views, worldviews of the hero and the patriarchal Famus Moscow. In the mind of Chatsky there was a mixture of two worldviews - "French" and "Petersburg". During the absence, the hero gained "free thoughts", but completely lost the ability to understand the surrounding reality.

For a long time, criticism unanimously assured that Chatsky was a future Decembrist (if not explicit, then at least by conviction). But does Chatsky look like a Decembrist? Yes, his “free thoughts” somewhat coincide with the ideas of the Decembrists. But so did many educated people of that time. Besides, can Chatsky be called a hero, a fighter? After all, his arrival in Moscow had no purpose at all to denounce anyone or propagate his views. This happened involuntarily. The appearance of Chatsky did not change anything, on the contrary, it harmed only himself.

So, Chatsky is not a hero, and, it seems, he does not at all strive to become one. He suffers from his loneliness, feels his social lack of demand, because he is an active person, active by nature, full of romantic feelings and impulses.

Chatsky does not win the argument. But the Famus society does not prevail either: it has no future.

- What, in your opinion, is the further fate of Chatsky?

III. and that lesson. Summing up the study of comedy.

1. The word of the teacher.

So we have finished studying Griboedov's comedy "Woe from Wit". Despite the traditional classic features that we talked about earlier, this comedy is the first realistic work of Russian literature. First of all, realism is characterized by the depiction of socio-political conflicts. The play is distinguished by historicism in the depiction of reality. The characters of the heroes are revealed deeply and multilaterally, individualized with the help of speech portraits. There is no solution to the social conflict in the play - this is evidence of Griboyedov's innovation in creating a new type of socio-political comedy.

The comedy is written in poetic form in the beautiful Russian folk language. Back in 1825, Pushkin predicted, speaking of comedy: "I'm not talking about poetry: half - should be included in the proverb ..." And he turned out to be absolutely right. You have already read the aphorisms written out at home.

- Try to determine the size of the comedy verse. (Free iambic.)

2.student performance Stage history of "Woe from Wit".

"Comedies are only written to be played." This statement J.-B. Molière is quite right. The specificity of dramatic works lies precisely in their purpose for performance on stage, in action. Therefore, before putting an end to it, it will be interesting to trace the stage history of the comedy "Woe from Wit".

While the student is making a message, the teacher draws the students' attention to photographs of famous artists: Kachalov, Mironov, Yursky - in the role of Chatsky.

Homework:

1) prepare for the test on the work (knowledge of the text);

2) collecting material for the essay:

 “The current century and the past century”;

 Who are the judges?

 Chatsky and Molchalin;

 The image of Sofia Famusova.

The page contains only a fragment of the material.

In the play "At the bottom", written by A.M. Gorky in 1902, the essential features of Gorky's dramaturgy manifested themselves with particular clarity. He approved a new type of socio-political drama in dramaturgy. His innovation manifested itself both in the choice of dramatic conflict and in the method of depicting reality. The conflict in Gorky's plays is always expressed not externally, but in the internal movement of the play. The main conflict underlying the play "At the Bottom" is the contradiction between the people of the "bottom" and the orders that reduce a person to the tragic fate of a homeless tramp. The acuteness of the conflict has a social character in Gorky. It lies in the clash of ideas, in the struggle of worldviews, social principles. The composition of the play plays an important role. In a small exposition of the first act, the viewer gets acquainted with the situation of Kostylev's rooming house, with the characters living in this rooming house, their past. The plot is the appearance of the wanderer Luke in the rooming house, his struggle for the souls of dying people. The development of the action is the awareness by the rooming houses of the entire horror of their situation, the emergence of hope for a change in life for the better under the influence of Luka's "good" speeches, the culmination is the increase in the tension of the action, culminating in the murder of old Kostylev and the beating of Natasha. And, finally, the denouement is a complete collapse of the heroes' hopes for a renewal of life: Anna dies, the Actor tragically commits suicide, Pepel is arrested.

Act IV plays an important role in the composition of the play. The author's remark emphasizes the changes on the stage that have taken place since the first act: “The atmosphere of the first act. But Cinder's rooms are not, the bulkheads are broken. And in the place where the Tick was sitting, there is no anvil ... The Actor is fumbling and coughing on the stove. Night. The scene is illuminated by a lamp standing in the middle of the table. Outside is the wind." At the beginning of the action, Kleshch, Nastya, Satin, Baron and Tatarin participate in the dialogue. They remember Luka, and everyone tries to express their attitude towards him: “He was a good old man! .. And you ... are not people ... you are rust!” (Nastya), “A curious old man… yes! And in general ... for many it was ... like a crumb for the toothless ... "(Satin), "He ... was compassionate ... you have ... no pity" (Tick), "Like a plaster for abscesses" (Baron), "The old man was good ... the law had a soul! Whoever has the law of the soul is good! Whoever lost the law is gone” (Tatarin). Satin sums up the result: “Yes, it was he, the old yeast, who fermented our roommates ...” The word “fermented” perfectly reflects the essence of the situation in the rooming house after the old man left. Fermentation began, all the difficulties, conflicts escalated, the most important thing was that there appeared, albeit weak, but hope: to escape from the “cave-like basement” and live a normal human life. Klesh understands this well. He says: “He beckoned them somewhere ... but he didn’t say the way ...” Klesch’s words that the old man did not like the truth cause Satine’s indignation, and he utters a monologue about truth and lies: “Lie is the religion of slaves and masters ... Truth - the god of a free man! Satin explains to the roomers why the old man lied: "He lied ... but - it's out of pity for you, damn you!" But Satin himself does not support this lie and says why: “There is a comforting lie, a reconciling lie ... a lie justifies the heaviness that crushed the worker’s hand ... and blames those who are dying of hunger ...” No, Sateen does not need such a lie, because he is a free man: "And who is his own master ... who is independent and does not eat someone else's - why should he lie?" The words of Satin, recalling the old man's statement: "Everyone thinks that he lives for himself, but it turns out that for the best!" - make the overnight stays listen carefully. “Nastya stubbornly looks into the face of Satin. The tick stops working on harmony and also listens. The baron, bowing his head low, softly beats his fingers on the table. The actor, leaning out of the stove, wants to carefully climb down onto the bunk.

Comprehending the words of Luke, the Baron recalls his past life: a house in Moscow, a house in St. Petersburg, carriages with coats of arms, "high post ... wealth ... hundreds of serfs ... horses ... cooks ..." Nastya responds to every remark of the Baron with the words: "It was not!" which infuriates the Baron. Satin thoughtfully remarks: “In the carriage of the past, you won’t go anywhere ...”

The ongoing skirmish between Nastya and the Baron ends with an explosion of hatred from Nastya: “I wish you all ... would go to hard labor ... sweep you away like rubbish ... somewhere in a pit! .. Wolves! For you to breathe! Wolves! And at this moment, Satine turns his attention to himself, delivering his famous monologue about man. According to Satin, a person is free in his choice of attitude to faith, and to life, to its structure, its order: “A person is free ... he pays for everything himself: for faith, for unbelief, for love, for the mind - a person for everything he pays himself, and therefore he is free!.. The man is the truth!” The maturity of Sateen's judgments has always amazed. However, for the first time he rises to the realization of the need to improve the world, although he cannot go beyond these reasonings: “What is a person? .. Do you understand? This is huge! In this - all beginnings and ends ... Everything is in a person, everything is for a person! Only man exists, everything else is the work of his hands and his brain! Man! It's great! It sounds… proud! Man! You have to respect the person! Do not pity ... do not humiliate him with pity ... you must respect! .. Let's drink for a man, Baron! So says the sharper and the anarchist, the slacker and drunkard. It is strange to hear these words from him. Gorky himself understood how much these speeches did not correspond to Satin. He wrote: “... Sateen's speech about the man-truth is pale. However - except for Sateen - there is no one to say it to, and it is better, more vividly to say - he cannot ... "

Bubnov and Medvedev appear in the rooming house. Both tipsy. Bubnov treats the inhabitants of the rooming house and gives all his money to Satin, as he feels goodwill towards him. The shelters sing their favorite song "The Sun Rises and Sets." The rooming house is still dark and dirty. But in it, however, some new sense of universal interconnectedness settles. The arrival of Bubnov reinforces this impression: “Where are the people? Why are there no people here? Hey, get out ... I ... treat! The external reason is “to take the soul away” (he got money). The inner state of this person, who came to "sing ... all night," is full of old, old bitterness: "I will sing ... I will cry!" In the song: “... I want to be free, but I can’t break the chain ...” - they all want to suffer their unfortunate fate. That is why Satin responds to the unexpected news of the Actor's suicide with the words concluding the drama: "Eh ... ruined the song ... fool!" Such a sharp response to the tragedy of the unfortunate has another meaning: the departure of the Actor is the result of the death of his illusions, again the step of a person who has failed to realize the true truth. Each of the last three acts of "At the Bottom" ends in death: Anna, Kostylev, Actor. The philosophical subtext of the play is revealed in the finale of the second act, when Satin shouts: “The dead do not hear! Dead people don't feel... Shout... roar... Dead people don't hear! The tramps who live here are as deaf and blind as the dead. Only in act IV complex processes take place in the mental life of the characters, and people begin to hear, feel, and understand something. The "acid" of gloomy thoughts is cleared, like an "old, dirty coin", the thought of Satin. This is where the main meaning of the finale of the play lies.
