But the love story of Olenka and Kukin ended tragically – the husband loving girls died in Moscow, where he went to recruit a new troupe. Our heroine is very grieved at the death of a spouse, but not for long. After three months in her heart possessed by the new affection. Vasily Pustovalov, very sedate and business man, he worked as Manager of forest stock at the merchant Babakaev. Olenka loved him with all my heart. Soon the young couple married. Now rosy-cheeked young lady with knowledge of the matter told about the price increase of forest fees on timber and so on. It seemed to her that she have already been doing this. Home Pustovalova always smelled like sweet bread, roasted meat, soup and pies. Olenka has grew fat, happy with his married life. Vasili Andreevich did not love any entertainment, including theatre. Even on holidays he stayed at home. Olenka shared all the thoughts and intentions of your spouse. Now she told a friend that the theater – it's a frivolous entertainment is not for the working people, such as she and her husband. When Pustovalov went to Mogilev province from the forest, and Olya was very bored. Sometimes in those days, went to see her vet Smirnin, who was separated from his wife, leaving a young son. Our heroine, sighing, strongly advised him to reconcile with his wife for the sake of the child. A young woman, described by the author in the story, well characterized even its summary. Chekhov's "the darling" - it's about the lady who all my heart is given to his affections, however, only until then, until it was replaced by another sympathetic. And we will soon see.
Full of love, understanding and harmony Pustovalova lived for six happy years. And then Vasili Andreevich repeated the fate of his predecessor, Ivan Petrovich. Olenka husband died suddenly, having caught cold in the freezing winter in the woods. The young widow went into mourning, which this time lasted six months. And after this time the neighbors have seen the young lady in the yard in the company of a veterinarian Smirnin. Since then sweetie began to talk about diseases of cows, swine plague and scat, Boyne city, on infected milk, and so on. All around, it became clear that in the soul of Olenka has a new attachment. She wholeheartedly gave myself to her, sharing all thoughts and actions Smirnin. Her happiness this time did not last long: soon, the military veterinarian assigned in a distant regiment, and he left. To understand what was going on in the soul of Olenka after that, we will help the assessment of its moral qualities, or rather their analysis. Chekhov's "the darling" tells the story of a woman, the whole point of life is to love someone and to make the existence of this man comfortable and happy. It cannot and does not want to live for yourself. After leaving Smirnin others do not know the old Olenka: she lost weight, dramatically aged, losing her looks. People no longer smiled at her, as before, avoided her. It was clear that began at the darling is quite different, lonely, empty life. It seemed that changes in it will be gone.
Day after Day, year after year flowed grey, bleak existence of the protagonist. About how hard it was Olenka, you can understand, even after reading a summary of Chekhov's story. Sugar now no one talked for the reason that she had nothing to say. Before, when she was married, her life made sense: the music garden "Tivoli", and lumberyards, and courtyard, and autumn rain… And now she did not know why they need the rain, theatre, courtyard. Her soul was empty. That all changed in one moment when on the threshold of her big, empty house seemed Smirnin. He told Olya that resigned, reconciled with his wife and came to this city to find housing for his son, who has grown up and had to go to school. The woman burst into tears and suggested Smirnin with his family to stay at her place. If a former military vet denied her, it would be a terrible blow for her. But Smirnin agreed, and the very next day in the house painted walls and whitewashed roof. Olenka suddenly revived, rejuvenated, her lips a smile. She walked around the yard happy to dispose of. Her life was filled with sense.
The next day in the yard appeared an ugly lady with a naughty face and a little chubby boy. It was the wife and son Smirnin. Faye Reagan settles in the wing, freeing up your home for the family of a retired vet. Wife Smirnin soon be sent to Kharkov to see my sister and a long time back. The head of the family often leaves somewhere. Sasha is left alone, abandoned by their parents. Faye Reagan takes a boy to the Lodge. She cares for him, teaches him the lessons, walks to school, indulge sweets. And now the whole meaning of her life. “It is my biggest attachment of all that was before”, says darling. Summary of the work can quite convey the maternal feelings that had descended with the head of our heroine.
Now the woman lives the life of a schoolboy Sasha. She tells others about the difficulties of learning today in schools, classes, teachers and textbooks. Maternal feeling for the boy erupted in her day to day. She loves it all: his dimples, the hair is no longer a growth cap. Surrounding now meet a younger and prettier Olenka with a smile. She again makes a good impression. The only thing the heroine is afraid that she will take Sasha. Each time you knock at the gate she jumps with fright and looks out: not whether brought the postman a telegram from Kharkov from the boy's mother?
That's about what an extraordinary woman tells us this work. "Darling" – this is an example of selfless love, sacrifice for the happiness of another person. The heroine due to repetitive situations with finding the meaning of life and his loss is depicted by the author. Each time her fate is one and the same scenario. However, we want to see in Olya and only the good and be glad that she once again found happiness.
It Remains an open ending of Chekhov's work ‘sweetie’, an outline of which is shown above. The reader raises the question: "Repeated history sweat...
