Why Ochumelov?

Anotherthe reception characteristic of Chekhov's stories, - speak the names. First, it should be noted that in work not heard the name of the hero. It is not necessary, since for all he is “important” to which just will not turn. The name is associated with the words “brilliant” and “plague” that may indicate the typicality of the hero. Even in the story is not only Ochumelov. The characteristic behavior of the hero and the crowd is the same. The crowd quickly influenced by the warden pick up on his point, again from a desire to please. This phenomenon, like the plague, covers more people, learn to adapt and make use of his position.

Meaning of the name of the story

The nature of the chameleon-a reptile, easily change its color and adapt to the surrounding environment. It saves his life.

The title of the story fully reflects the essence of the main character. Chameleon - a man who quite easily fits to what is happening. That's just the point here is not about life and death, and the desire to settle down and have benefits for themselves (not society!) in any situation.

The Role of the story "Chameleon»

First, the product is laughable. However, despite this apparent insignificance, "Chameleon» more serious parody existed in the late 19th century control system. Is not so important, because of the work of Ochumelov. In the minds of readers, he always remained the epitome of constant admiration for those who stand above. And if he starts to kowtow to, even the General's, but still a dog, this story leads to a very gloomy thoughts about the perverse device of the whole country.
