Postage stamp of Russia, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of the birth of N. V. Gogol, 2009 Comedy had a significant impact on Russian literature in general and drama in particular. Gogol's contemporaries noted her innovative style, depth of generalization and convexity of images. Immediately after the first readings and publications, Gogol's work was admired by Pushkin, Belinsky, Annenkov, Herzen, Shchepkin Pushkin Belinsky Annenkov Herzen Shchepkin The phrases from comedy became winged.
The plot of the "Inspector General" Act 1 Ivan Aleksandrovich Khlestakov, a low-ranking official (collegiate registrar, the lowest rank in the Table of Ranks), enters from St. Petersburg to Saratov with his servant Osip. He turns out to be passing through a small county town. Khlestakov is lost at cards and is left without money. Just at this time, all the city authorities, mired in bribes and embezzlement, starting with the governor Anton Antonovich Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky, from the letter he received, learns about the incognito arrival of the inspector from St. Petersburg, and in fear awaits his arrival. City landowners Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky, accidentally learning about the appearance of the defaulter Khlestakov in the hotel, decide that this is the inspector, and report him to the governor. A commotion begins. All officials and officials fussily rush to cover up their sins, Anton Antonovich, he himself is at a loss for some time, but he quickly comes to his senses and realizes that he needs to bow to the auditor himself.
Act 2 Meanwhile, hungry Khlestakov, settling in the cheapest hotel room, ponders where to get food. He begs for a dinner of soup and stew from a tavern servant, and having received what he wants, he expresses displeasure with the quantity and quality of the dishes. The appearance of the mayor in Khlestakov's room is an unpleasant surprise for him. At first, he thinks that he, as an insolvent guest, was reported by the owner of the hotel. The mayor himself is frankly shy, believing that he is talking with an important official in the capital, who has arrived on a secret mission to audit the state of affairs in the city. The mayor, thinking that Khlestakov is an auditor, offers him a bribe. Khlestakov, thinking that the mayor is a kind-hearted and decent citizen, takes a loan from him. “I screwed him instead of two hundred and four hundred,” the mayor rejoices. Nevertheless, he decides to pretend to be a fool in order to elicit more information about Khlestakov. “He wants to be considered incognito,” the mayor thinks to himself. “Okay, let’s let us be cowards, let’s pretend that we don’t know at all what kind of person he is.” But Khlestakov, with his inherent naivete, behaves so directly that the mayor is left with nothing, without losing his conviction, however, that Khlestakov is a "thin thing" and "you need to keep your eye on him." Then the mayor has a plan to give Khlestakov a drink, and he offers to inspect the godly establishments of the city. Khlestakov agrees.
Act 3 The action continues in the mayor's house. Pretty drunk Khlestakov, seeing the ladies Anna Andreevna and Marya Antonovna, decides to "show off". Drawing in front of them, he tells fables about his important position in St. Petersburg, and, what is most interesting, he himself believes in them. He ascribes to himself literary and musical works, which, due to "extraordinary lightness in thought," supposedly, "in one evening, it seems, he wrote, amazed everyone." And he is not even embarrassed when Marya Antonovna practically accuses him of lying. But soon the language refuses to serve the decently drunken guest of the capital, and Khlestakov, with the help of the mayor, goes to "rest."
Act 4 The next day Khlestakov does not remember anything, he wakes up not as a "field marshal", but as a collegiate registrar. Meanwhile, city officials "on a military footing" line up in order to bribe Khlestakov, and he, thinking that he is taking a loan (and being sure that when he gets to his village, he will return all debts), accepts money from everyone, including Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky, who, it would seem, have no reason to bribe the auditor. Khlestakov even begs for money himself, referring to a "strange case" that "he was completely spent on the road." Further, petitioners break through to Khlestakov, who "beat the governor with their foreheads" and want to pay him in kind (wine and sugar). Only then does Khlestakov realize that he was given bribes, and flatly refuses, but if he was offered a loan, he would take it. However, Khlestakov's servant Osip, being much smarter than his master, understands that nature and money are bribes anyway, and takes everything from merchants, motivating it by saying that “the rope will come in handy on the road”. After seeing the last guest out, he manages to look after Anton Antonovich's wife and daughter. And, although they have known each other for only one day, he asks for the hand of the mayor's daughter and receives parental consent. Osip strongly recommends that Khlestakov get out of the city quickly before the deception is revealed. Khlestakov leaves, finally sending his friend Tryapichkin a letter from the local post office.
Silent scene Action 5 The governor and his entourage take a deep breath. In his fantasies, the mayor already sees himself as a general, and lives in St. Petersburg. Having ascended to unattainable heights, he decides to "give pepper" to the merchants who went to complain about him to Khlestakov. He swaggers over them and calls them last words, but as soon as the merchants promised a rich treat for the engagement (and later the wedding) of Marya Antonovna and Khlestakov, the mayor forgave them all. He gathers a full house of guests to publicly announce Khlestakov's engagement to Marya Antonovna. Anna Andreevna, convinced that she has become related to the big bosses of the capital, is delighted. But then the unexpected happens. Postmaster of the local branch of own initiative opened Khlestakov's letter and it appears from it that the incognito turned out to be a dummy. The deceived mayor has not yet had time to recover from such a blow when the next news arrives. An official from St. Petersburg who is staying at the hotel demands him to come to him. It all ends with a mute scene ...

Slide Description:
Already in the gymnasium, Gogol did not imagine his fate such as usually awaited most of the people of his circle. He was sure that a special destiny was in store for him, and spoke about the signs of providence in which he believed. Indeed, mysticism haunted him all his life, which was reflected in the peculiarities of his work.

Slide Description:
Gogol was distinguished by a large number of eccentricities and oddities of character. He felt uncomfortable in the presence of strangers, he was afraid of a thunderstorm. It was also unusual for him, as a man, to be interested in handicrafts and cooking. But, despite the amount of oddity, posthumous psychiatric studies do not confirm the presence of any mental illness. Most likely, the genius writer was an eccentric and hoaxer, sometimes prone to depression.

At the end of his life, Gogol's psychological state deteriorated significantly, and he, apparently, fell strongly under the dominion of his own fears.

N.V. Gogol believed that art is capable of re-creating life according to the Christian ideal. "Poetry is an invisible step to Christianity." The writer sees one way: this is the way of love. In Gogol's notebooks we read about the Russian people: "There is little light in it, but there is a lot of warmth." The question of light is a fundamental question for Gogol. “The spiritual blackness is terrible, and why is it seen only when inexorable death is before our eyes,” the artist wrote in his Testament. The theme of spiritual purity is the theme of "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka", "Terrible Revenge", "Viy", "Notes of a Madman", "Dead Souls". The main thing for Gogol is to convey to the reader the idea that to love people with "little black" means to save their souls.

“Something inexplicably touching was heard in the speech of the Drowned Woman, and streams of tears rolled down her beautiful face” ...

The theme of sin and the punishment for it. Man and his responsibility in the fight against evil. In the fight against evil, a person should not overstep Christian commandments. Do not answer evil for evil. These are the main problems raised by Gogol in the story.

How to defeat evil? Ivan's sin is that he did not forgive. And the Gospel teaches: farewell to the sinner, the offender, his enemy. Ivan, in the fight against evil, overstepped these commandments and became a sinner himself. "The fight against evil," says Gogol, "is a responsible business."

The story "Viy" "Viy" is one of the most controversial creations of Gogol. Reality and fantasy, everyday life and symbols - everything is intertwined in the story. This is a philosophical work about the knowledge of the world, about life and death, about the power of dark forces over human destiny.

The world, the pagans believed, was two-fold. A world without end and without time. The image of the lady is twofold: she is the beauty - the lady and the old woman - the witch, the external and internal personality of a person. In daylight, she is a beauty with a magnificent braid, with long, like arrows, eyelashes. At night she is a terrible, old, bony, like death, old woman. Khoma Brut did not lose in the single combat with Viy. He defeated him, became a "Man-God", equal in strength to Viy. In the death of the philosopher there is both tragedy and the greatness of the feat. Khoma is a pagan who believes in the world of Fear and Chaos that has opened to him, but does not believe in God. This is the reason for his death. And the second reason for his death is the price of knowledge. The price of daring is death. He got what he deserved: he comprehended and died.
