The author's attitude to Larisa is a non-dowry. The image of Larisa Ogudalova (based on the play by A.N.
The famous play "Dowry", which Ostrovsky wrote over the course of four years from 1874 to 1878, the author himself considered one of his best and most significant dramatic works... Although shown on the stage in 1878, it caused a storm of protest and indignation from both audiences and critics, the play gained its well-deserved share of popularity only after the death of the famous Russian playwright. A clear demonstration of the main idea that the author wanted to show people that the world is ruled by money, and in modern society they are the main driving force that allows their owners to dispose of the fate of others who depend on them, many did not like. Like other innovations in the play, incomprehensible a wide range of the public, all this caused a rather harsh assessment from both readers and critics.
History of creation
In the early seventies of the nineteenth century, Ostrovsky worked as an honorary magistrate of the Kineshemsky district, on duty he participated in various high-profile trials and was well acquainted with crime reports of that time, which gave him, as a writer, a rich literary material for writing works. Life itself threw him plots for his dramatic plays, and there is an assumption that the tragic death of a young woman who was killed by her own husband, Ivan Konovalov, a local resident of the Kineshemsky district, became the prototype of the plot line in "Bride".
Ostrovsky begins the play in late autumn (November 1874), making a mark on the margins "Opus No. 40", stretching its writing for four long years, due to parallel work on several more works, and finishing it in the fall of 1878. The play was approved by the censorship, preparation for publication began, which ended with its publication in the journal Otechestvennye zapiski in 1879. This was followed by rehearsals of theatrical corpses in Moscow and St. Petersburg, wishing to play the play on the stage, presenting it to the audience and critics. The premieres of "The Dowry" both in the Maly and in the Alexandria theaters were disastrous and caused harsh negative judgments from theater critics. And only ten years after Ostrovsky's death (the second half of the 90s of the XIX century) the play finally came to well-deserved success, largely due to the huge popularity and fame of the actress Vera Komissarzhevskaya, who played the main role Larisa Ogudalova.
Analysis of the work
Story line
The action of the work takes place in the Volga town of Bryakhimov, which looks like the town of Kalinov from the play "The Thunderstorm" only after 20 years have passed. The time of such tyrants and tyrants as Kabanikha and Porfiry Dikoy has long passed, the "finest hour" has come for enterprising, cunning and dodgy businessmen, such as the millionaire Knurov and the representative of a rich trading company Vasily Vozhevatov, who are able to buy and sell not only goods and things, but and human destinies... The first act of the play begins with their dialogue, which tells about the fate of the young woman Larisa Ogudalova, deceived by the rich master Paratov (a kind of matured Boris, Diky's nephew). From the conversation of the merchants, we learn that the first beauty of the city, whose artistry and charm has no equal, is marrying a poor official, absolutely insignificant and pitiful in their opinion, Karandyshev.
Larisa's mother, Khariton Ogudalova, who herself raised three daughters, tried to find a good match for each daughter, and for the youngest, the most beautiful and artistic daughter, she predicts a wonderful future with a rich husband, only one simple and well-known fact for all spoils everything: she is a bride from a poor family and has no dowry. When the brilliant, young master Paratov appears on the horizon among the admirers of her daughter, the mother is trying with all her might to marry her daughter to him. However, he, having played with Larisa's feelings, leaves her for a whole year without any explanation (during the dialogue it turns out that he squandered his fortune and is now forced to marry the daughter of the owner of the gold mines in order to save his position). Desperate Larisa tells her mother that she is ready to marry the first person she meets, who becomes Julius Kapitonich Karandyshev.
Before the wedding, Larisa meets with Paratov, who has returned after a year's absence, confesses his love for him and escapes from his unloved groom to his steamer "Swallow", which the hapless bankrupt also sells for debts. There, Larisa tries to find out from Paratov who she is now: his wife, or someone else, then she learns with horror about his future marriage to a rich bride. The millionaire Knurov, who wins this right from Vozhevatov, turns to the heartbroken Larissa with a proposal to take her to the Paris exhibition, and in fact become his mistress and kept woman (after consulting, the merchants decide that such a diamond as Larisa should not be wasted, they play her coin toss fate). Karandyshev appears and begins to prove to Larisa that for her fans she is only a thing, a beautiful and refined, but absolutely soulless object, with which one can do as its owner wants. Crushed by life's circumstances and the heartlessness of people-businessmen who so easily sell and buy human lives, Larisa finds this comparison with a thing very successful, and now in life, having not found love, she agrees to look only for gold, and nothing else. Offended by Larisa, who called him miserable and insignificant, Karandyshev, in a fit of jealousy, anger and infringed pride, with the words "So do not get you to anyone!" shoots Larissa with a pistol, she dies with the words that she does not blame anyone, and forgives everyone everything.
main characters
main character play, Larisa Ogudalova, a young woman without dowry from the city of Bryakhimov, this is a slightly matured Katerina from the play "Thunderstorm" previously written by the same author. Their images are united by an ardent and sensitive nature, which ultimately leads to their tragic ending. Just like Katerina, Larisa “suffocates” in the dull and musty town of Bryakhimov, among its inhabitants, who are also bored and dreary here.
Larisa Ogudalova finds herself in a difficult life situation, characterized by some ambivalence and undoubted tragedy: she is the first clever woman and the beauty of the city cannot marry a worthy man, because she is a dowry. In this situation, two options are outlined before her: to become the kept woman of a rich and influential married man, or to choose a man of a lower social status as her husband. Grabbing at the last straw, Larisa falls in love with the image she created of a handsome and brilliant man, bankrupt landowner Sergei Paratov, who, like Boris, Dikiy's nephew in The Thunderstorm, turns out to be a completely different person in real life. He breaks the heart of the main character and with his indifference, lies and spinelessness literally "kills" the girl, that is, becomes the cause of it tragic death. Tragic demise becomes for the main character a kind of "boon", because for her the current situation has become a life tragedy, which she could not cope with. That is why, in her last moments, the dying Larisa does not accuse anyone of anything and does not complain about her fate.
Ostrovsky portrayed his heroine as an ardent and passionate nature who survived severe mental trauma and betrayal of a loved one, who, nevertheless, did not lose her sublime lightness, did not become embittered and remained the same noble and pure soul that she was throughout her entire life. Due to the fact that the concepts and aspirations of Larisa Ogudalova fundamentally differed from the value system prevailing in the world around her, she, and although she was constantly in the center of public attention (like a beautiful and graceful doll), in her soul she remained lonely and not understood by anyone. Absolutely not understanding people, not seeing lies and falsity in them, she creates for herself the ideal image of the man who becomes Sergei Paratov, falls in love with him and cruelly pays for her self-deception with her life.
In his play, the great Russian playwright surprisingly talentedly portrayed not only the image of the main character Larisa Ogudalova, but the people around her: the cynicism and unprincipledness of the hereditary merchants Knurov and Vozhevatov, who played the fate of the girl with a simple lot, the immorality, deceit and cruelty of her failed bridegroom Paratov, greed her mother, trying to sell her daughter as profitable as possible, envy, pettiness and narrow-mindedness of a loser with heightened pride and a sense of ownership of the jealous Karandyshev.
Features of the genre and compositional construction
The composition of the play, built in a certain way in a strict classical style, contributes to the growth of mental tension among the audience and readers. The time interval of the play is limited to one day, in the first act the exposition is shown and the plot begins, in the second act the action gradually develops, in the third (a dinner party at the Ogudalovs') - the culmination, in the fourth - the tragic denouement. Thanks to such a consistent linearity of compositional construction, the author reveals the motivation of the characters' actions, which becomes well understandable and explainable for both readers and viewers, who realize that people act one way or another not only because of their psychological characteristics, but also because of the influence of social Wednesday.
Also for the play "The Dowry" is characterized by the use of a peculiar system of images, namely, the "speaking" names invented for the characters: the name of an exalted nature, Larisa Ogudalova, translated from Greek as "seagull", the name Kharita is of gypsy origin and means "lovely", and the surname Ogudalova comes from the word "ogudat" - to deceive, to cheat. The surname Paratov comes from the word "paraty", which means "predator", Knurov - from the word "knur" - a wild boar, by the name of the groom Larisa Julia Karandyshev (The name is in honor of the Roman Gaius Julius Caesar, and the surname is a symbol of something small and insignificant ) the author shows the incompatibility of desires with the capabilities of this hero.
In his play, Ostrovsky wanted to show that in a world where money rules and everyone has a certain social stigma, no one can feel free and do what he really wants. As long as people believe in the power of money, they will forever remain hostages of social clichés: Larisa cannot become the wife of a loved one, because she is a dowry, even rich and influential merchants, just like the bankrupt Paratov, are tied hand and foot by social dogmas and cannot marry at will, to receive love and human warmth just like that, and not for money.
It is thanks to the enormous power of the emotional impact, the scale, the topicality of the problems raised and the indisputable artistic value that Ostrovsky's play "The Dowry" takes an honorable place among the classics of world drama. This work will never lose its relevance, each generation of readers, immersed in the world of experiences of the characters of the play, will discover something new and find answers to eternal spiritual and moral questions.
The image of Larisa Ogudalova "They are right, I am a thing, not a person"
1. The drama of women. The image of Larisa Ogudalova.
2. Consent to the role of the kept woman. ""
3. Soaring seagulls.
The world of A. N. Ostrovsky's drama is diverse and interesting. Merchants, landowners, officials, students, actors and many other heroes are looking at us from the stage. They create a kind of world in which people “lived, worked, saved up, made money, went broke, fell in love, deceived, hoped ...” N. Dobrolyubov wrote that Ostrovsky created “plays of life”. And they were such because the plots were taken from life, and the plays were built not on fictional, but quite real life collisions.
Ostrovsky addresses many problems of our time in his plays. Not the last place in this series is occupied by the problem of the position of women in this world. Everyone knows the drama of Katerina, who failed to win in a duel with the "dark kingdom". Known tragic fate Larisa Ogudalova... These two images have a lot in common. They understand a very important thing: it is impossible and not worth living as before. But each of them decides in its own way how to correct the current situation.
Katerina has enough strength and will to put an end to herself. Larisa is not given this, and she, one might say, despises herself for this: “A pitiful weakness. Live, at least somehow, but live ... When you can't live and you don't need to. " However, when Karandyshev pulls the trigger, she tries to take responsibility for herself: “It's me ... myself. Oh, what a blessing! .. "
Both women defend their right to exist on equal terms in this petty and vulgar world. Larisa opens her eyes to her position Karandyshev: “They do not look at you as a woman, as a person - a person has his own destiny; they look at you as a thing. " Such a material situation does not suit the main character. She wants to feel not only a living person, but also an attractive woman. Here she turns to the groom: “You see. I stand at a crossroads: support me, I need encouragement, sympathy; treat me tenderly, with affection! " But Karandyshev, although he points to the place she occupies, treats her in the same way as others do: “So don’t get to anyone! (Shoots her with a pistol). "
When Larisa finds out about Paratov's deception, about the real attitude of men towards her, she simply has no other choice but to agree with her role as a thing, a kept woman: “ They are right, I am a thing, not a person"," Every thing must have its owner, I will go to the owner. " Her despair reaches its climax when she finally decides what to do in the circumstances: "If you are a thing, then there is only consolation - to be dear, very dear."
Larissa makes a terrible judgment on herself. She tried to change her position by choosing Karandyshev, but he did not appreciate and did not understand her act. And this agreement was not particularly different from a similar deal with Kunurov. Julius Kapitonich Karandyshev can only offer Larisa exactly the same deal, based at the same time on disrespect, lack of spirituality. None of the applicants for her hand gives her full love, a vivid burning feeling. The only one who could awaken such impulses in her soul was Paratov. But he "traveled for two months, beat off all the suitors, and his trace was gone, he disappeared into no one knows where."
Another leitmotif is associated with In the image of Larisa Ogudalova... This is a gypsy camp. This image attracts the main character. Only there she can feel herself not a thing, not an empty place. She did not see anything more beautiful around this integrity, liveliness: “... only in him the gypsy camp was at least merry. Can you give me something better than this camp? " But it turns out that that life was also chosen at the behest of mother. But this is the only thing that Larisa remembers so easily, without regret. After all, there "were both good and noble people." This image remains in the memory for a long time. Larisa Ogudalova... And she dies to the accompaniment of a gypsy choir. That free life attracted her with its expanse, lack of conventions, nobility. This free life showed the main character that there are other ideals and goals, that one can live not in a confined world.
Larisa meets a similar relaxedness and confidence in the image of Sergei Sergeevich Paratov. The girl tells Karandyshev about one incident with Paratov. He decides to knock out a coin from Larisa with a shot. "Look, I will shoot the girl who is dearer to me than anything in the world, and I will not turn pale." He gives me some coins to keep) ", indifferently with a smile, shoots at the same distance and knocks her out." deceived Larisa's feelings and hopes.
However, Sergei Sergeich, upon his return, reproaches Larisa in the folded position, for the fact that she fell in love with him. “Your name is insignificant,” exclaims Larissa. Now the appearance of Paratov is fully revealed. He, too, looks at her as a toy that he can play with whenever he wants.
Surrounded by Larisa Ogudalova there is not a single person who would not look at her as a thing. Even a mother only benefits from the position of her daughter ("Grooms are paid. As anyone likes a daughter, fork out ... Then she will take from the groom for a dowry, and do not ask for a dowry"). Maybe just the fact that Larisa is a dowry, provokes such an attitude towards her. Quite possible. But again, if the absence of a dowry plays such a role, then it turns out that in this case it is not the person himself that is important, but his position, state. Here again and again Larisa's words that have already become a quote come to mind: “ They are right, I am a thing, not a person»
LN Ostrovsky very clearly showed us that no matter what virtues a woman possesses, she is in any case powerless. She remains as misunderstood as Katerina. The words "Do not tempt me unnecessarily ..." from the romance, which have sounded more than once in the play, like a leitmotif, pass through the play. Larisa, a refined nature and "psychologically multicolored", remains alien to the "kingdom of predatory, tenacious and intelligent businessmen."
And they cannot catch the airy and freedom-loving seagull hovering over the world of vulgarity. After all, Larissa in translation from Greek means "seagull". And since it is impossible to break out into the sanctuary, where the girl dreams of getting, marrying Karandyshev, Larisa chooses another element for herself - the Volga. But she could not cross this threshold, like Katerina. “Leaving life is not at all as easy as I thought. So there is no strength. How unhappy I am! But there are people for whom it is easy, ”says Larisa.
Only suicide becomes the only way out for a woman in the cruel world of rudeness and vulgarity. The heroines of Ostrovsky have not yet found any other way out. But they wanted to believe that over time, the position of a woman will definitely change. After all, Larisa hoped for something when she could not take the last step herself.
The main heroine of A. Ostrovsky's play "The Dowry" is Larisa Dmitrievna, daughter of Kharita Ignatievna Ogudalova. Her mother has a "small fortune", there is nothing to give a dowry, since she lives openly, accepts everyone, "loves to live happily herself." Kharita Ignatievna is very clever: “her house is always full of singles”, her daughter is pretty, sings beautifully and knows how to play different instruments, you can have fun with them. But for all this you have to pay: "... whoever likes a daughter, so and so fork out." By all means, this lively woman is looking for a groom for her daughter.
But Larisa is a lyrical, talented and sensitive nature, so she cannot live the life that her mother created in the house. She has to smile, be nice, keep up conversations with the men who visit and pay money for it. Maybe she doesn't like them at all or is simply disgusting, she must endure all this, since she needs to do what her mother tells. Larisa subtly senses and experiences what is happening around her. Such a girl feels lonely and uncomfortable in the world around her, which is full of penny passions, egoism, where everyone tries to show himself by any means.
She does not need any of this, she is completely alone, alone with her thoughts and dreams. At the same time, they talk about her, admire her, decide her future for her, but Larisa herself seems to be on the sidelines, the opinions and feelings of this girl are of no interest to anyone.
She understands, in the end, what kind of person Paratov is, but he was her ideal among men. Because of passionate love, she sees nothing around him, goes for a walk along the Volga with him, she hopes that he will make her his wife, she believes him. Larisa is in for a bitter disappointment, as Paratov spends the last free days because he himself marries another woman who is richer than her.
The main character comes to the decision to commit suicide, but something does not let her in, holds her. “It's a pitiful weakness to live, at least somehow, but to live ... when you can't live and you don't need to. What a pathetic, unhappy I am, ”she says, standing at the grate.

4.The teacher's word
Created in 1878, the drama "Dowry" continues to develop the main themes and ideas of Ostrovsky's work, it depicts the world of entrepreneurs, their customs, laws, and customs. In the noble-merchant environment, the tragedy of a man living according to the laws of a "hot heart" is played out. But in "Dowry" all these topics are revealed in a different way, in accordance with the new conditions public life... The world of merchants has become different - this is not the same " dark kingdom", Which was dominated by the Wild and Kabanikhs. Capital multiplies, "business" grows, the outlook of entrepreneurs expands, their manner of behavior changes, but the laws of human relations remain unchanged.
Let's move mentally to Shchelykovo, where the playwright worked on the play. What was he thinking in the walls of his office? It was written at the time when a woman who devotedly loving him passed away. And the newspapers of that time vied with each other: “How the talent of our first playwright was reduced!”; “Ostrovsky has outlived his talent!”; “Oh, Ostrovsky! Why didn't you die before writing Late Love ... "
But why is this “failed play” so touching, why does it not let go, makes you think? What is her secret?
Usually the name of Ostrovsky's plays is sayings, proverbs, that is, phrases with meaning. At first glance, there is no subtext in "The Dowry". Who is this dowry woman? At the time of Ostrovsky, the word "dowry" had another meaning: a girl of high moral character who does not need a dowry.
There is a difference and we wonder: Who is she, Larisa Ogudalova? What is the main thing for her: a dowry? Money? Maybe something else? Analyzing the list actors, we note that Larisa is the only one whose last name is not indicated. Why? How is it different from others?
We will work on these and other questions in today's lesson.
5.Historical background and meaning of names heroes - message pupil
As always with Ostrovsky, the names and surnames of the heroes have a symbolic meaning in "The Dowry". Larissa is translated from Greek as a seagull. The surname Knurov comes from the dialect word knur-borov, boar, boar. Paratov is etymologically connected with the adjective poraty - lively, strong, diligent. Vozhevatov comes from the phrase cheerleading people, meaning cheeky, shameless. In the name, patronymic and surname of Larisa's mother, Kharita Ignatievna Ogudalova, everything turns out to be significant. Gypsies from the choir were called “charitas” from the Greek — charis — grace, charm, beauty — and every gypsy in Moscow was called Ignaty. Hence the comparison of Larisa's house with a gypsy camp. The surname comes from the word ogudat - to deceive, to seduce, to inflate. Yuliy Kapitonovich Karandyshev - from the word karandysh - undersized, short, a man with exorbitant and unreasonable claims.

Which biblical story arises in your mind when we talk about temptation?
Comment answer : Christ in the wilderness is tempted by the devil.
Do the heroes of the drama talk about God?
How does Orthodoxy define temptation?
Note answer: This is a test of faith.
14.Teacher's word:
Thus, the leitmotif of Ostrovsky's drama carries a complex semantic load. If the souls of people are deprived of the moral core, moral strength, then they fall into the power of temptations. Finding faith will be the more difficult, the more moral flaws the soul has. In this sense, Ostrovsky's drama sounds quite modern and relevant.
Social reasons contributed to the tragic denouement of the story of Larisa Ogudalova, but Ostrovsky himself primarily examines the tragedy of a talented person, and not a girl without a dowry. That is, for a playwright, reasons of a non-social order become decisive. This is the only way to view the finale of The Dowry. Ostrovsky, like all Russian classics of the 19th century, is faithful to the Christian tradition. He necessarily correlates the actions of his heroes with the moral principles of Orthodoxy.
Exploring various motives, which in their own way complement the tragic story of Larisa, we come to the conclusion that her short life is a life amid temptations and temptations. And if the temptations of the material plane by Larisa are rejected, then the spiritual ones seize without a trace.
Larissa comes to the idea of suicide, but she cannot take her own life. She knows that they want to make her a kept woman, and she tries to challenge these people: “If you are a thing, then there is only one consolation - to be dear.”
But she does not represent her future life as a thing. Therefore, a shot by Karandyshev is a natural way out for her. Her soul is still pure. As she leaves life, she forgives everyone. She dies with words of love, thus fulfilling her dream - to escape from this life, which she did not accept.
