Bunin Beauty Main characters. Eternal problems of humanity in the story "Mr. from San Francisco" and

Ivan Alekseevich Bunin in his works regularly indulges in reflections on life in general. This can be seen in such works as: "Cold Autumn", "Beauty" and others. Indeed, he forces the reader in his poems and stories. Life is so different: charming and multifaceted, sometimes cruel, and even dangerous. The writer is reminded by their works that there are no little things in life. And the indifference can play a fateful role in the fate of those for whom it is necessary to take responsibility.

Bunin and "Beauty"

Before considering the work itself and somehow analyze it, it should be remembered that it was written in 1940. At this time, the writer was seventy years old - age in which a person does not make plans for a long periodBut gives an assessment of the lived life.

Bright moments in all life will be gained from every person, and bad, and good. At this time, the writer places memories of his own youth, youth and mature years, and is divided by all these thoughts with readers.

"Beauty" is nothing more than antithesis - the opposite of the name of the work itself and its content. Indeed, so it is, in fact. In the work, the reader finds out that the subject of people often happens to be deceptive, you need to learn to see the essence of things, the essence of the people themselves. Behind the excellent appearance, any personality can hide, and the internal filling is not always also beautiful as the outer shell.

Analysis of the work

In general, the writer resorts to a fairly interesting, in its intriguing reception: it describes three storylines in the story. The first is the relationship of the father-official with both his wives. The second is the ratio of the beauty itself to their monastery, family and relatives. The third is the attitude of a boy who is the main acting person in this story. Separately, attention should be paid to the beauty itself, its attitude to life, house and child. The writer himself speaks about her that she "reigned", "the look had dressed," "Father, the fear of her before her pretended."

All this directly indicates the reader to human authority, on his thoughts, judgments, relative to all other people. She literally puts himself above the entire environment, she heads the family, at least he says so. Nevertheless, throughout the work, only one-only phrase comes out of her mouth, which is enhanced by the words "I ordered." As you can guess, she really considers itself the main thing. And this has evidence. This woman changes life in the house at his discretion, as she considers it better, for her the same. All changes in the house are a kind of stem. Tip for the reader itself, that not all external beauty, which can be seen with its own eyes, is internal. Often, appearance and essence will differ and there is no connection between them.

The boy, in turn, is literally doomed to a worthless existence. He simply begins to be afraid to live, he has fear of everything, although he himself "from nature gentle, alive." Everything else, the writer himself emphasizes his empty existence, having endowed the epithet "non-existent". In the story for the Father's wife, he doesn't matter, she simply does not notice him, and his father himself like her wife, giving out himself only to her, distinguished from the child. Despite the opinion of all his loved ones, their attitude, he still has, lives, lives his life next to them, but its existence remains worthless.

The author tries to emphasize the insignificance of the child by the use of words in aggregate with diminutive suffixes, like: "Sofa", "Book", "Corner" and others. The writer does not describe further events, but gives the reader it clearly understand that the boy in life will remain abandoned, forgotten and just no one needs.

"Beauty" is a small work filled with a tragedy and a huge meaning. This is a small masterpiece that has a deep, but at the same time such a simple and understandable thought, the essence of which can be caught absolutely every reader. The story of a seven-year-old boy, who hated beauty-welcoming capable of truly to touch the soul. As a result of this relationship, the child just have to hide in the corner, become invisible for everyone.

Bunina managed to invest that not every beauty could be good, just five small paragraphs, with three main actors and deep tragedy inside. It is quite simple to understand everything that has been said here is quite simple, but it's not so easy to take it, as it could seem. Nevertheless, the writer discloses the essence of his work, reveals the essence of many people.

One simple thought


One simple question for which, perhaps, will answer everyone - is it possible to call the true beauty of a person who does not feel about the child hates him, humiliates and does not appreciate his own husband? Perhaps the answer to this question is best formulated Anton Pavlovich Chekhov: "In a person, everything should be fine: both face, and clothes, and soul, and thoughts."

We understand that the heroine of this story is inherent in only two parameters, and the importance of which, especially in modern world Significantly exaggerated - face and clothing. A person can not be wonderful, not possessing beautiful soul and thoughts. Here we begin to understand that the story is ironic and tragic - beauty is more imperative than beautiful and attractive. She pushes the reader with all his behavior, becomes contrast. Beauty inner plays, perhaps a large role, is greater than the external, and for several reasons. The simplest - the appearance over time is changing, the person agrees, but inner beauty, kindness, responsiveness - all this will remain forever.


Immediately, the words of another famous writer come to mind - Dostoevsky: "Beauty will save the world, good would be." After all, it is so it is, and in the work we see the opposite creature, the beauty of which does not give anything good, does not sow intelligent, good, eternal. It is capable of destroying everything around, creating optimal conditions for themselves, which she himself had to do. It is easy to guess why "Beauty" has become such - the spoiled person who has great attention, necessarily becomes an egoist. He demands and tries to do everything only for himself, his benefits and joy, nor a drop without thinking about anyone else. The reader himself sees that behind the heroine stands the imaginary, seeming beauty, inside which it is hidden nothing but a simple sincere deformity. She is not his mother's mother, and therefore, in her opinion, it makes no sense to experience some kind, warm feelings for him and, accordingly, comes in relation to the child absolutely indifferent.

The main character of the work - Beauty, still cares the reader. Rather, it causes disgust, if not more than more. All attention is focused on little boy, whose fate will not envy. Despite such a character of the second wife of the child's father, most of the indignation, perhaps, belongs to him, as he, to all her whims just forget about his son, ceases to notice him. Children, especially in such a gentle age - are extremely helpless, trusting. They can not stand up for themselves, may be deceived, they simply directly depend on their parents, from adults. It would be possible to say other if the boy himself was the same as the wife of the Father - evil, capricious, without heat in the heart and soul. In fact, he is another - sociable, kind, responsive, just not lucky him. Becoming orphan, after the death of his mother, he lost all: warmth, kindness, attention, proper care.

Bunin gives to understand the reader at the same time several things. First, we sometimes can not notice the most obvious things, remaining blinded by beauty. Secondly, adults should always be responsible for their children, they must treat them carefully, with love. All these are simple truths that are peculiar to every person. Another attitude to life and your loved ones is the degradation of your own feelings, and no beauty can hide it. Each person must learn to see, feel and feel the truth. In short, the writer himself says about the same: "iodine color glasses," hinting that rose glasses time to remove and look at the world with a real look.

This one phrase, Bunin makes it possible to understand the reader that the official just closed from around the world around him, it serves his shield, in general, from all of the fact that his father does not want to notice, including his own son. For the very main character, in the face of the boy is the road to nowhere, without a lumen and bright colors. Toddler isolation is a tragedy with slow motion inertia. If the father of the child does not remove with the eye of a naval of love in a heartless beauty, the baby will stay lonely to complete mature.

So, Ivan Alekseevich Bunin, his short story was able to touch on a subtle and scrupulous problem of internal experiences, which can help answer the question: "What is real beauty?"

Reading the story "Beauty", we can say that the author is a subtle artist who is not alien to childhood. In the description of the disunity of the world of adults and the world of children clearly manifests the author's position of the Bunin. Summary Site see

Analysis of the work

The narration is built in the form of a mortal story, is conducted from the 3rd person and begins with the description of the elderly widower, the official of the Kaznyaya Chamber, which married not so long ago a second time. Portrait characteristic, built on contrast, helps to know the essence of the hero. For example, the official "silent", "modest", "thin", "elderly", "Chakhhotoca addition". And the wife of Beauty "knows the price", "young", "perfectly folded."

Denoting the characters, the author selects the descriptive vocabulary: "Beauty", "Father of the boy", "Seven-year-old boy", "Dead Mom", etc. The writer does not call them on the names, first, to indicate the order of the definite type of personalities, and secondly, withdraw the story on high level Generalizations.

Describing the behavior of the stepmother to the receiving son, the narrator uses the epithet "calmly hated". What does it mean calmly hate? When is such calm hatred possible? Apparently, only with a clear, full awareness of his own superiority, and this once again emphasizes the decent people of the so-called "decent" society.

In the second paragraph, the reader faces the following situation. First, the stepmother pretends that he did not notice the boy, then his father, wanting not to annoy his young wife, pretended that he had no son, and then the boy was hidden, he tried to become imperceptible, as if stopped breathing, and hence live. According to the principle of strengthening, the thought sounds here - from a lack of attention, love, the heat of any person, especially the child will become unlike and lonely. Moral ugliness ruffles any manifestation of care and humanity.

The story of the narrative is deprived of the junction - and this also shows the author's position - just painfully think, and then what? What happens to him? And will the boy survive in the setting of cold egoism, fear and loneliness? We do not know the answer. This story reminds us, adults, what feelings are experiencing rejected children, how hurts to be such a lonely child. And this reminder should be preserved until we become parents themselves and never forget. Since unloved children find it difficult to love and trust the world. Even if the boy is surviving, it is unlikely to flourish. No wonder children call the "flowers of life" - they also require attention and care, without this, neither growth or development is impossible.

And is it possible to count beautiful womanFrom which it blows cold prunes, indifferent, self-love? Bunin confidently proves that there is no. External beauty should be backed by internal wealth and warmth. So, the very name of the work is ironic. And the beauty of man comes not only from appearance - acts and aspirations are crucial. After reading the story to the end, we no longer perceive this woman as a beauty, she calls for us, readers, dislike and disgust.

The story of Bunin analyzed Antonova Elena.

I. A. Bunin with extraordinary skill describes in its works full of harmony world of nature. His favorite heroes are endowed with a gift to sensitively surrounding the world, the beauty of his native land, which allows them to feel life in its entirety. After all, the ability of a person to see around himself a wonderful makes peace and feeling of unity with nature in his soul, helps to better understand yourself and other people.

We see that not many of the heroes of the Bunin works are given by the harmony of the world around. Most often these are ordinary people, already wise life experience. After all, only with age, the world opens to a person in its entirety and diversity. And then not everyone can comprehend it. Old Bucket Aquarka from the story "Lyudaya Grass" belongs to the number of those heroes of the Bunin, which reached spiritual harmony.

This is not a young man for a long time, a lot of people who who won in his century, does not feel horrid from the consciousness of the approaching death. He is waiting for her badly and humbly, because he perceives it as eternal peace, getting rid of fumes. Memory constantly returns Averkia to the "Far Twilight on the River", when he met "with that young, cute, who was indifferent-fuzzled at him now with older eyes." This man carried his love throughout his life. Thinking about it, Averki recalls and "soft dusk in the meadow", and a small creek pose from dawn, against the background of which the girl is visible.

We see how nature participates in the life of this Hero of Bunin. Twilight on the river is replaced now when Averky is close to death, autumn fading: "Dying, dried and dried herbs. Empty and bare has become aimed. It became visible through the slopes of the mill in a snapless field. The rain was sometimes replaced by the snow, the wind buzzed in the holes of Riga evil and cold. " The offensive of winter caused a tide of life into a hero of "lean herb", the feeling of the joy of being. "Oh, in winter it was a long friend, always rejoicing the winter feeling! First snow, first blizzard! Fields were headed, they stopped in her - go for half a year in the hut! In white snowfights, in a blizzard - wilderness, game, and in the hut - comfort, peace. Purely will receive bumpy earthen floors, scout, wash the table, warm the oven fresh straw - good! " In total, the Bunin created a magnificent live picture of the winter.

Like his favorite heroes, the writer believes that in the world of nature, the eternal and beautiful, which is not subject to man with his earthly passions is concluded. The laws of human society, on the contrary, lead to cataclysms, shocks. This world is unstable, he is deprived of harmony. This is seen on the example of the life of the peasantry on the eve of the first Russian revolution in the story of the Bunin "Village". In this work, the author, along with moral and aesthetic problems, affects the problems of social, caused by the reality of the beginning of the XX century.

The events of the first Russian revolution, reflected in the village in the village of Mugitski, burning landlord estates, rampant poor, bring a breakdown in the usual rhythm of the life of the village. In the story a lot acting persons. Her heroes are trying to understand the surrounding, find a point for themselves. So, Tikhon Krasov found it in the money, deciding that they give confidence in the future. He devotes his whole life to the accumulation of wealth, even marries because of the benefit. But Tikhon never finds happiness, especially since he has no heirs who he could transfer his wealth. His brother Kuzma, self-taught poet, also trying to find the truth, deeply experiencing troubles of his village. Kuzma Krasov can not calmly look at the poverty, backwardness and hill the hill, their inability is wisdom to organize their lives. And the events of the revolution are more aggravated social problems villages destroy normal human relationsThey put in front of the heroes to negotiate problems.

Brothers Krasov are an outstanding personality looking for their place in life and ways to improve it not only for themselves, but also for the whole Russian peasantry. They both come to criticism of the negative sides of the peasant life. Tikhon is striking that in a fertile black earth edge there may be hunger, ruin and poverty. "Master would be here, the owner!" - He thinks. Kuzma also considers the cause of such a position of the peasants their deepest ignorance, the accuracy, what he blames not only the peasants themselves, but also government "empty", which "flooded, scored the people."

The problem of human relationships and communication of a person with its surrounding world is revealed and in the lead "Sukhodol". In the center of the narration in this work - the life of the impoverished noblery of Khrushchev and their yard. The fate of Khrushchev is tragic. The young lady is crazy, Peter Petrovich dies under the horses' hooves, Peter Kirillovich's weakly grandfather dies from the hand of serf. Bunin shows in this story to what extent weird and abnormal can be human relationships. So talks about the relationship of the Lord and servants former fortress nanny of Khrushchev Natalia: "Above Barchuk and Grandfather Gerzak washed, and I need a lady. Barchuk - A, to tell the truth, and the grandfather themselves - the souls in Gervka did not care, and I am in her. " And what does such a bright feeling, like love leading to "Sukhodol"? To dementia, shame and devastation. The absurdity of human relationship is opposed to the beauty of Suhodla, its wide steppe spaces with their smells, paints and sounds. The world It is beautiful in the stories of Natalia, in conspiracies and spells of oborudy, sorcerers, wanderers who have nimble land.

"There is no nature separate from us, each slightest movement of air is the movement of our own soul," wrote Bunin. In their. Sponsions, imbued with deep love for Russia and its people, the writer managed to prove it. For the writer, the nature of Russia was the beneficial force that gives a person everything: joy, wisdom, beauty, the sensation of the integrity of the world:

He does not landscape entails me

Do not paint, I strive to notice,

And the fact that in these paints is shining, -

Love and joy of being.

Holistic prose text analysis.

I.A. Bunin "Beauty".

I.A. Bunin is an excellent writer. I madly like his work. Especially I remember these works such as: "Dark Alleys" and "Light Breathing", written on the topic of love, tragic love. We know that the writer emigrated to France, lived in Paris for a long time, but his thoughts returned to Russia again and again. Therefore, a huge place in his work occupies the topic of the Motherland.

The story "Beauty" is devoted to the topic of hard childhood, family relationships. It discloses ideological and moral issues (the hero will know the changes occurring in the world around him).

Consider the image system. "The official of the State Chamber, Widower, Elderly," "He was thin, high, crashwise addition, wore iodine colors glasses, said several syplo and, if he wanted to say something riot, fell into a fistule." And so, such a miserable, poorly poor man was able to marry "on the beauty, the daughter of the Military Chief," which "was small, perfectly and firmly folded, always well dressed, very attentive and housing around the house, the view was vigorous."

It can be concluded that the official was far from his handsome, in his description the author uses such epithets and comparisons that create an image of absolutely physically unhealthy, a squeezed person, which prevails some kind of yellow-like color, which even more convinces us in his unhealthy (" Points of iodine color "," CHAKHOTOCHED ADJUSTMENT "," FISHED IN FISTULLE "). It follows that the goal of the author is to show that the appearance is not the most important thing in the relationship, and also that the love of all ages are submissive, because the official was an elderly, and his wife is young. Mixed antithesis. The text is called "Beauty", probably because the narrator wanted to show the fact that the beauty of this external can be only a mask.

The first wife of the official died, the tragic pathos is noticeable.

The second marriage ... But from the first marriage there was a son: "The boy, from nature is alive, affectionate", which "the second beauty quietly hated" (oxymoron). The boy has no portrait, but it sees internal spiritual worldWhile the parents have a very meager. Again antithesis: Children's world, sincere, clean, opposed to an adult.

The boy has to be not easy, you can draw a parallel with the life of a Vanka from the story of A.P. Chekhov.

The boy is subjected to a cruel relationship from the stepmother, who felt herself with the only mistress in the house, for example: "Immediately after the wedding, he was transferred to sleep from the father's bedroom to the sofa in the living room, a small room near the dining room ..." or "Stick him, Nastya, on the floor ..."

The most offensive thing is that the father just forgot about his son, which once again emphasizes its lowness, sickness, misery, cowardice. ("Father, from fear in front of her, I also pretended, as if he had no and never had a son.") "And the boy, in his round loneliness on the world, healed completely independent, was completely separate from the whole house, - silent, Incomplete, the same day in day. " The baby lives in his little Mirka "in the corner of the living room", engaged in his affairs: "Draws on a stylist board of a house" or "Whisper reads in warehouses, all the same book with pictures, bought at the late mom", "looks out the window" .

I.A. Bunin uses diminishing and caustic suffixes ("houses", "book"), showing this that the boys are the road these things, he draws exactly the houses (the house is a symbol of a family, a homemade spotlight), he keeps warm memories in the shower About past life, life in which he was needed to someone in life, where he was surrounded by love and warmth. The book, as well as the chest - a symbol of love for the mother, this book is the only "light", warming the soul of the boy. But, despite all the difficulties, the boy retained human qualities. Sex close to folklore, seven is a mystical number, the boy is seven years old. He is the "Light of Light" in the House of the official. The window - the portal that immerses the child in the past, at the same time helping to see the world unknown to him.

Let us dwell on the chronotope. The action takes place in the house where the boy lives. This house was once a native for him, but with the care of the mother becomes a stranger. The author emphasizes this with the help of the epithet "as if non-existent." The boy stopped noticing in the house, so he goes into another world - his thoughts and feelings.

Throughout the text, the past and present are intersect. Zaguka - a description of the past, the fact that the wrong man get married beautiful girls, Description of the first wife. Then describes the present, "new" life of the official and his "new" family (climax). Delivery: The boy lives in the present, but turns to the past.

Detail is visible, the author clearly describes various little things ("he sleeps on the floor between the sofa and a person with a palm tree"). Due to this, we see the entire tragity of the situation of the child. An important detail is a dream. A seven-year-old child slept restlessly, even in a dream he did not feel protected.

Also, the writer uses epithets to make the reader as brighter as possible to present the picture described: "Blue velvet furnished", "Restless sleep", "Life is notching, imperceptible, the same ...", the repeats "completely independent, completely separate", "Stelket itself, Himself cleans. "

I really liked this story. I am very sympathetic to the boy, it remains only to guess what will happen to him (open finals). I.A. Bunin gives us the opportunity to come up with a continuation. I believe that the boy will be happy, because he is clean, sincere little man who has not broke troubles and suffering.

The story "Beauty" is one of the 38 novels cycle "Dark Alleys". This cycle is a central event of recent Bunin creativity. This is the only one in its kind in the Russian literature, where everything is about love. There is also rude sensuality, and playfulness, but the topic of clean and fine love passes through the ray. "The spirit penetrates the flesh and engraves it", "where I stand, cannot be dirty," says the love of the authors.
The story "Beauty" was written on September 28, 1940. The writer was 70 years old. He has already passed through a lot, tested and saw even more, he is experienced and a wise manrecognized by the world artist. And the story of 5 paragraphs ... It would seem a simple story. A woven elderly official took his wife a young beauty, who unloved his seven-year-old son from the first marriage and pushed him out first from the bedroom to the living room, then - from the sofa to the floor, and the boy was accepting ...
The very expression of the "Beauty hated" is paradoxically as a combination of admiration and hatred, ideal and hatred. And here - "calmly hated" - also a combination of incompatible, since hatred is a feeling of a series of outgoing, strong. The adverb "calmly" conveys that beauty is not alien to her, it is typical of her, it is familiar to her.
We see a confirmation that the beauty of the hero imaginary, repulsive, is hidden behind the outer attractiveness. Being a non-rigid mother, she demonstrates a complete indifference to the boy.
