Biography of the heroes of the thunderstorm

The Ostrovsky “thunderstorm” of the characters in the play of A. Ostrovsky opens the image of Kuligin, the surname transparently hints at the actually existing person- Kulibin, self-taught mechanics. Kuligin is a poetic, dreamy nature. It is no coincidence that he appears, singing the folk song "Among the Valley of A smooth." Of all the characters of the “thunderstorm”, only he and Katerina are able to see and feel the beauty of nature.

Kuligin tells Kudryash: “Here, my brother, you are my fifty years every day I look at the Volga and I can’t look at all! The soul rejoices. " Kuligin realizes how cruel orders reign in Kalinov, gives well -aimed characteristics to the “owners” of Kalinov, condemnly speaks of their dishonesty, greed: “Cruel customs, sir, in our city, cruel! In the philistinism, sir, you will not see anything but rudeness and poverty of nagal.

And we, sir, never get out of this bark! Because honest labor will never earn us more pressing bread. ” This person has to himself, he is well -read, observant. Kuligin is the only one who understands Katerina is able to evaluate her spiritual beauty: “Here is your Katerina. Do with her what you want! Her body is here, take it; And the soul is now not yours; She is now in front of a judge who is more merciful than you!

Wild is a rude and terrible person. He holds in fear of everyone: households hide from his anger in the attic, the aunt begs households in the morning not to "angry" the formidable host. With the men who work for him, Wild treats him, as with cattle, without the slightest embarrassment, declares: “I want to have mercy, I want- I’ll tell you.” None of the men, considers Wild, does not even dare to hint about a salary.

The meaning of the Wild’s life is the acquisition of money. I think for the sake of them he would go to kill a man ... to match the wild Kabanov. Kupchikha completely subjugated her son Tikhon. Kabanikha lives, agreeing with those mores, customs that have long been outdated. According to this woman, relations in the family should be built on a sense of fear. The younger family members are obliged to obey the elders, even if they are wrong.

The wife, Kabanikh believes, is a slave of his spouse, his property. What is the meaning of the merchant in the concept of "respect"? Respect means to obey, tremble ... When Katerina escorts her husband on a trip, the mother -in -law makes her howl. From his son, Kabanikh demands that he beat his wife. Kabanikha has two children. Daughter's name is Barbara. She is not yet married.

Barbara, not wanting to obey her mother, live in a prison with the beautiful name “native hearth”, runs away from home. Thanks to her mother, Barbara learned to lie, dodging, got used to the thought: “You can do anything, if only everything was wisely covered.” Tikhon, the son of Kabanikha, is a weak, limp creature. The mother made him weak -shaking.

He obeys her in everything, always. Tikhon never grumbles, does not protest. And all the same, he regrets that he did not die with his wife: “Good for you, Katya! And why did I stay in the world and to suffer? He is forced to obey his uncle, since financially depends on him. For the sake of money, he tolerates humiliation, insults. Of course, the most striking, memorable image of the play is Katerina.

In her parental house, she lived “like a bird”, she was cherished, cherished, marrying Tikhon, she fell into a family, where abuse, rudeness - ordinary phenomena. The young woman is very burdened by this life ... Her regret that a person does not fly like birds is explained by the fact that she is hard in this tedurym house ... Katerina is a morally clean woman.

That is why she perceives the awakened feeling for Boris as a terrible, indelible sin. For her, a married woman, love is not for her husband, but for another person there is a violation of Christian morality. She wants to be clean, impeccable with all her heart. It seems to me that she was drawn to Boris, to some extent the mother-in-law is to blame. If she were good in her husband’s house, if she felt her husband’s support, a good attitude of her mother -in -law, she would not have committed this sin.

I believe that Katerina dies, because she cannot reconcile her conscience with love not to her husband, but to another person. In addition, she cannot and does not want to live in a prison. To stay to live for Katerina is to abandon human dignity. Register or enter and find out how many people have already written off this composition from your school.
