A. N. Ostrovsky: the drama "Thunderstorm"

Drama "the Storm" was written by Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky in 1859, in print, the work appeared in 1860. The play was created by playwright in the village Shchelykovo, where they purchased the HOMESTEAD, where he spent a lot of time. According to many literary critics, the story reflects the mores of the Kostroma merchants.

Still Kostroma can display the place where the heroine of the play rushed to the Volga, and the ravine, where ran out with Barbara Curley, safely preserved, even on the map of Kostroma there is a street Gully. However, with the Kostroma for the right to stage the action of the play argues Kineshma.

With the appearance in the press and performances on the stage play became the object of violent disputes and clashes of different opinions critics, and spectators. Millions of Soviet schoolchildren (after Dobrolyubov) repeated that Katherine is a ray of light in the darkness. And many of his contemporaries Ostrovsky just took this story as a family-psychological. So the drama "Thunderstorm" (summary): overbearing mother-in-law terrorizes honest and proud daughter-in-law, who sincerely tries to be a good wife, but as luck would have it, falls in love with another.

The Way that Katerina's husband, Tikhon, her secret love, Boris - two of a kind on the part of the responsible decision-making. Hiding behind others. And if Tikhon after the death of Catherine planned though timid, but the revolt against the mother, Boris simply runs away from responsibility, saying goodbye to Catherine, she says: "Not on their own food - uncle sends". You can think of, on their own, it was impossible to leave, tea, not land. His betrayal of Boris pushes her to commit suicide.

And if you turn away from those studied at school of language and reread the play? Just looking with fresh eyes at what is happening in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk. So far we have gone from a world in which rules Savel Wild, simply speaking, a lot of money?

So again. Drama "Thunderstorm". Ostrovsky still not uncovered all the mysteries laid down by the plot of the play. So why the wild boar terrorizes Catherine. Just whether it's jealousy mother-in-law to daughter-in-law, the feeling is quite traditional and straightforward modern women? Or is it a projection of her own biography - because she was once a young daughter-in-law was part of a rich merchant's house, and she had to accept and obey.

There is in the play the heroine, which made to mention a tongue Twister is a sister of St. Tikhon, Barbara. Here it is, spit on morals and moral foundations and the running of snowball with my favorite Curly. So, a person has a choice? Or he continues to go with the flow?
