After Studying in France, jurisprudence and philosophy, having studied advanced educational doctrines of classicism, Fonvizin Denis at the end of 1778 he returned to Russia and poured all my experience in Comedy, on which he worked about three years - "Ignoramus". Reviews this work has become to immediately, and not all of them were carrying the author of goodness. However, for over two hundred years "Ignoramus" is a storehouse of aphorisms for each new generation, and comments about it all the same variety - from genuine admiration to a complete misunderstanding.

Who is the ignoramus

The word is "ignoramus" - nowadays used with this meaning: ignorant, ignorant, lazy. In the eighteenth century, a nobleman who had not received a written diploma (certificate) from the home teacher about his training - it was ignoramus. Reviews in the society of such people was basically negative, they were not accepted to public service, even in adults.

In the marriage, they should not have could, because to obtain special permits - coronary memory - was only possible with the attainment of adult years. "I don't want to learn, and want to get married!" - said Mitrofanushka. Fonvizin gathered in his Comedy a whole freak show of exceptionally funny characters who belonged to different social strata of society.

Comedy Heroes

Here are derived by the author in the perceptible and civil servants, and the nobles, and servants, and serfs, and fashionable teacher. Especially vividly shows the mother Mitrofanushka – mistress strict, even cruel Krepostnaya, Ms. Prost. But the most interesting of all, of course, himself Mitrofanushka (same name became a household word) is the same ignoramus. Feedback about the skill Fonvizin left all of the great writers of the future, including Pushkin, Gogol, Belinsky, Herzen.

review of the book ignoramus

Issues

Like almost all the plays written in the classical era, and this is pretty straightforward on the issue, condemns the traditions of noble education, zlonravie, savagery. In the works of the French classics of the time, the characters are very easy to divide into negative and positive, has not even started reading of a play itself, as the reader tells you everything "talking" names: Sophia - wisdom, Mitrofan - the appearance of the mother, Pravdin and Skotinin, Simpletons, Kuteikin, Wellman, Tsifarkin, Milon and Starodum.

And negative characters has turned out very bright, convex and memorable, the entire performance of "the Oaf". Reviews celebrated their incomparable popularity among the public, while the positive characters became more of a mouthpiece for the author's participation and point of view. However, the liveliness of the dialogues, humor, analysis of the text citations, which quickly became proverbial, was not equal Comedy Fonvizina "Ignoramus". Feedback about the work of the authorities, however, were not favorable.

review of the minor Fonvizin

Repression

Fonvizina forever was forbidden to publish the records. Even the scientific work relating to antiquity, print not allowed, so frightened the nobility of this "Ignoramus". Review of the book (a translation of Tacitus) was given to Catherine II by far - the book was banned, as the magazine "Starodum" which Fonvizin subsequently wanted to publish. How he managed to achieve setting this Comedy in theatres is amazing. Of course, this was due to the huge and many challenges. In 1782 in St. Petersburg was received resolute refusal.

In the same year in Moscow too. Censors theaters were afraid of the courage of many replicas. Honestly, even now I'd be scared if any author would have made the product such accusatory force, which was a Comedy Fonvizina "Ignoramus". Opinion probably would have been the same. However, by hook or by crook, the production managed to break through first in St. Petersburg in the Free Russian theatre, Karl Knipper, then next year - in Moscow.

Theatre in St. Petersburg

In the eighteenth century, too, there was PR in its kind. Actors who read the play, everywhere it was told, not touching the steps, but with such enthusiasm that the first formulation've never seen before crowds of people. The theater was Packed. Starodum that were among the he played Demetrius, who took an active part in advertising this Comedy.

Were also Attended by other celebrities - Kamburov, Krutitskii, Rakhmanov. With the first remarks the audience began to laugh, applaud and throw your wallets on the stage. None of the previously put here plays did not have the same success as "Minor". Review of the work was unanimous - it's a masterpiece. But the theatre was almost immediately closed by the imperious command.

Theater in Moscow

In Moscow, the Comedy was performed in the theatre Medox, and the success was so huge. Thenadmiring Moscow's students brought on the stage Comedy by D. I. Fonvizin's "the Minor". Review of recurring and still calling laughter the play is constantly extended. There are many Amateur productions.

Thank the author quickly came to the Empress for his trouble. Catherine the Great, later Gogol (who, incidentally, once played in this performance the role of Mrs. Prostakova), considered this work a caricature of Russian life. The response was the above: restrict to print from Fonvizin all. And for all. The theater in St. Petersburg, first dared to put this play was closed immediately.

Descendants

I Studied the Comedy at all subsequent times. Even collected historical anecdotes associated with its productions, they were a book. For example, after the premiere choice to the author of Prince Potemkin (in another version of himself Derzhavin) and says: "Die, but not write better than your "Ignoramus"!" Reviews of the book with the play Fonvizin leave our contemporaries.

The Language of eighteenth-century Comedy basically, of course, it seems archaic, but still admire quotes that have become Proverbs. And with venues that play had not come down, because it is always relevant are human vices that are so masterfully made fun of Fonvizin.

The right education

Even called he the Comedy in connection with the special decree of Peter the great, who ordered all the noble children to get an education, otherwise can not serve as a Mature and conscious activities they are not ready. It is the depravity of the education of noble children in serfdom is the main problem raised by the author in the Comedy "the Minor".

Brief comments to make in this way: education - the key to the morality of the younger generation. You can not trust the education of children who were nannies-serf, the sextons dropouts, aliens impostors and ignorant people. And Prostakova and Cotinine can give to society only Mitrofanushka, this is what they say in the Comedy Fonvizina "Ignoramus".

oaf short review

Reviews

About the book was all of the brightest minds of Russia. Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin called Comedy only monument of folk satire in the article "Refutation of criticism". He Fonvizin admired and really had a high opinion of his literary skills. Nikolai Gogol says about what is written in the Comedy just seems a monstrous caricature of everything Russian, and really nothing comical there, as alive taken from nature and knowledge of soul checked.

Vissarion Belinsky wrote that "the Minor" will forever remain in the history of Russian literature and in the libraries of decent people. He did not consider this play a Comedy in the artistic value (in comedies of intrigue should generally not addressed the social protests, it was usually a love line, it was much easier to built on the plot, and Fonvizin, despite the humor, the theme emerges too serious). Belinsky believed that such beautiful works are precious evidence of the social life of his time.

Funny

A lot was written about Comedy Fonvizina Vasily Klyuchevsky, always with enthusiasm. He called this piece an incredible mirror of the Russian reality, where everything is shown simply and directly, in focus, without glasses and binoculars, without the refracted points of view look, with full-accountability played artistic understanding. The characters of the play are taken from the pool of life, Fonvizin is not covered by their literary nature, not cultivated, showed directly what took, with the turmoil of relationships, untidy instincts and interests, as if at the time of police custody was released, and returned them at the end of the work.

This is not a Comedy individuals, it's a sitcom, according to Klyuchevsky. Because all the characters are comical, but not a bit funny. That is comical how they role, and how people not at all. On stage, these characters are amusing, but very sad and disturbing, if you meet them outside the theater, in the community or at home. This ignorance, the superficiality of education, this noble laziness and other quality shows and funny in Comedy, you never can be funny in life.

Writers about the author

Alexander p. Pyatkovsky wrote in the article included in a book about Fonvizina that one of the characters in the play - Starodum - seems to him by Fonvizin. In fact, he is not a reactionary, reveling in the memories of the good old days, and not grumpy, which looks at the development of thought of his century. Starodum (aka Fonvizin) admires the Pets of Peter's time who were able to raise their country to new heights.

review of the book Fonvizin the minor

This is especially evident influence of the ideas of the contemporary French writers who liked to invent some artificial images, they were prompted by life itself, she was in charge of and talent Fonvizin. The fact that Fonvizin wrote the naked truth, embellishing nothing, not hyperbolicity, evident from other sources. The manners of the Russian nobility of the eighteenth century, confirmed in dozens of such instructions - a memoir, this satirical magazines of the time. Evidence - weight. But no one was able to make them sobrilliant clarity.

Range of issues

Fonvizin in his Comedy answered all the questions that have marked his time that were of concern to progressive people. It is social order and state, it is the civil duty of every member of society, it's serfdom, it's the parenting and the marriage and family. The closest predecessors of Pushkin and Gogol was able to raise the literary language to unprecedented heights, to diversify it, to equip their characters peculiar to each tone, and a private dictionary.

Let the Goodies he was somewhat sketchy and not so individualized as negative – they are also very well convey the way of thinking and the concepts of well-intentioned people. Starodum directly poses the most cherished ideas of the author, who sees himself as a foe of corruption Catherine nobles, who received ranks and estates for sycophancy and flattery. For the first time on stage shows how much different from such parasitism ordinary diligence.

Social and art

Serfdom is not directly condemned by the author, but the violence and oppression they are shown, that is, serfdom already denied. Diverse and interestingly displayed and persons of the lower classes - not according to the tradition of the French (they have suckers on the scene just for fun of the audience they are extraordinarily alive and to evoke either sympathy or indignation).

In short, the artistic merits of Comedy Fonvizina "Ignoramus" is certain, they will have no less value and in the most distant future time. Brilliant and bold satirist, Creator of "Ignoramus" will be one of the founders of Russian literature, the remarkable political writer and a truly great Russian enlightener.
