Comedy N.V. Gogol's "The Inspector General" is notable for the fact that each of the images created there, although typical, is at the same time individual. By combining them together, Gogol creates in a comedy a satirical portrait of the local bureaucracy that existed in Russia of that era.

The system of images in the comedy “The Inspector General”

Mayor Anton Antonovich Skvoznyak-Dmukhanovsky has enormous authority, since he managed to make a career with his own strength, cunning and prudence. He considers bribery to be a completely acceptable phenomenon, which should only be limited by the rank and position of a particular person.

He easily embezzles any money, but considers himself a completely decent person, since he regularly attends church. Following his example, all officials in the district perceive their position as an opportunity to profit at the expense of others. However, they are all unique in their characters:

Judge Ammos Fedorovich Lyapkin-Tyapkin takes bribes like greyhound puppies and strives to have intelligent political conversations with everyone around him, since he has read several free-thinking books throughout his life;

The trustee of charitable institutions, Strawberry, steals from the sick and despises the poor people. He strives to please the auditor, so he tells him the whole truth about the state of affairs of other officials, keeping silent about himself;

The superintendent of schools, Luka Lukich Khlopov, is ignorant and timid, he is mortally afraid of his superiors;

Postmaster Shpekin reads other people's letters out of curiosity;

The policemen, Ukhovertov, Svistunov and Derzhimorda, are always rude and drunk, thanks to them, chaos reigns in police and prison affairs;

The main character, Khlestakov, is not too different from the district officials. Having unwittingly found himself in the position of an auditor, he takes advantage of this - splurges, lies and fantasizes about his life in the capital. He rejoices at the opportunity to gain an influential position, at least for a short time.

The skill of satirical depiction of reality

Using the example of these characters, Gogol shows how unsuitable they are for the positions they occupy. Each person’s vices directly impede their service, but this does not bother county officials. This is one of the main satirical features of comedy.

In addition to officials, there are other characters in the comedy who have their own minor sins: the main gossips of the district, Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky, who are afraid of the auditor, but at the same time really want to be known about them in high society; merchants like Abdulin who steal from customers and come to complain about the mayor; district ladies, Anna Andreevna and Maria Antonovna, admiring everything capital or everything French, also gossiping about everyone around.

All the characters in this comedy are negative. Taken together, they create a satirical portrait of a typical district town of the Nicholas era: Gogol seeks to show that all of Russia is living incorrectly, that standards need to be improved. The only positive image in this comedy is laughter.

A satirical depiction of officials in Gogol's comedy "The Inspector General"

Gogol's comedy "The Inspector General" is one of the most striking dramatic works of Russian literature of the 10th/10th century. The author continued the traditions of Russian satirical drama, the foundations of which were laid in the famous comedies of Fonvizin “The Minor” and Griboyedov “Woe from Wit”. The comedy is a deeply realistic work showing the world of small and medium-sized provincial officials in Russia in the second quarter of the nineteenth century.

When describing this world N.V. Gogol made extensive use of the literary techniques at his disposal, allowing him to most fully characterize his characters, doing it in an entertaining and easily accessible form for the viewer and reader.

Having opened the very first page of the comedy and learned that, for example, the name of the private bailiff is Ukhovertov, and the name of the district doctor is Gibner, we get, in general, a fairly complete idea of ​​these characters and the author’s attitude towards them. In addition, Gogol gave critical characteristics of each of the main characters. These characteristics help to better understand the essence of each character. Mayor: “Although he is a bribe-taker, he behaves very respectably,” Anna Andreevna: “Raised half on novels and albums, half on the chores in her pantry and maid’s room,” Khlestakov: “Without a king in her head. She speaks and acts without any consideration.” , Osip: “A servant, such as servants of several older years usually are,” Lyapkin-Tyapkin: “A man who has read five or six books, and therefore is somewhat freethinking.” Postmaster: “A man who is simple-minded to the point of naivety.”

Speech portraits are also given in Khlestakov’s letters to St. Petersburg to his friend Tryapichkin. For example, Strawberry, as Khlestakov puts it, is “a perfect pig in a yarmulke.”

These portraits are revealed more fully in the speech characteristics of the characters. A respectable mayor and the conversation is respectable and measured: “right”, “so this is the circumstance”, “that’s enough, that’s enough for you!” The provincial coquette Anna Andreevna is fussy and uncontrolled; Her speech is abrupt and expressive: “Who is this? This, however, is annoying! Who could it be?” Khlestakov, by the way, is somewhat similar in his manner of speaking to Anna Andreevna: the same abundance of exclamations, chaotic, abrupt speech: “I, brother, am not of that kind! I advise you with me...”; the same panache: “And your eyes are better than important things...”.

The main literary device. which N.V. uses Gogol's comic portrayal of an official is hyperbole. As an example of the use of this technique, the author can name Christian Ivanovich Gibner, who is not even able to communicate with his patients due to complete ignorance of the Russian language, and Ammos Fedorovich and the postmaster, who decided that the arrival of the auditor foreshadows the coming war. At first, the plot of the comedy itself is hyperbolic, but as the plot action develops, starting with the scene of Khlestakov’s story about his life in St. Petersburg, the hyperbole gives way to the grotesque. Blinded by fear for their future, officials clutch at Khlestakov like a straw, the city merchants and ordinary people are unable to appreciate the absurdity of what is happening, and absurdities are piled on top of each other: here is the non-commissioned officer who “flogged herself”, and Bobchinsky , asking that His Imperial Majesty be informed that “Peter Ivanovich Bobchinsky lives in such and such a city,” and much more.

The climax and the denouement that immediately follows it come sharply and cruelly. Khlestakov’s letter gives such a simple and even banal explanation that at this moment it looks for Gorodnichy, for example, much more implausible than all Khlestakov’s fantasies. A few words should be said about the image of the Mayor. Apparently, he will have to pay for the sins of his circle as a whole. Of course, he himself is not an angel, but the blow is so strong that the Governor has something like an epiphany: “I don’t see anything: I see some pig snouts instead of faces, but nothing else...” “Why are you laughing? You’re laughing at yourself! ..” - he throws it in the faces of the officials and into the hall. Endowing the Governor with sarcasm. Gogol makes him more humane and thereby elevates him above the other characters in the comedy.

A silent scene: the inhabitants of a provincial town stand as if struck by thunder, mired in bribes, drunkenness, and gossip. But here comes a cleansing thunderstorm that will wash away the dirt, punish vice and reward virtue. In this scene, Gogol reflected his faith in the justice of the higher authorities, thereby castigating, as Nekrasov put it, “little thieves for the pleasure of big ones.” It must be said that the pathos of the silent scene does not fit with the general spirit of the brilliant comedy.

The comedy "The Inspector General" immediately became one of the most popular dramatic works of that time and was a harbinger of Ostrovsky's dramatic works. Tsar Nicholas 1 said about her this way: “Everyone here got it, and I got it more than anyone else.”

The image of the mayor

N.V. Gogol’s immortal comedy “The Inspector General” gave us a lot

unforgettable images that are still relevant today. One of the main

heroes of the comedy - mayor Anton Antonovich Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky.

He's no good as a city leader. Activities of Anton Antonovich

led to the fact that everything in the city fell into disrepair, honestly doesn’t work

no service. The mayor sees how bad things are everywhere, but

does not want to do anything at all. Judge Lyapkin-Tyapkin,

pointing to the disorder in his department, he simply says: “I have already

I wanted to point this out to you, but I somehow forgot everything.” Only news about

the arrival of the auditor forced the hero to gather city officials and

encourage them to restore a semblance of order.

They, in turn, treat the mayor with respect, because with him

tacit consent, each of them breaks the law and robs

treasury Officials express their zeal for service only in words and

They are secretly afraid of the mayor: “For mercy, as much as possible! Weak

with strength, zeal and zeal for the authorities... we will try to earn it..."

Anton Antonovich treats city merchants with disrespect and

robs them harshly and mercilessly. One of the merchants says this about it:

“There has never been such a mayor before. He creates such insults that

cannot be described. Let's wait, I'm completely tired, even if I climb into a noose... We

We always follow order... No, you see, all this is not enough for him!

He’ll come to the shop and take whatever he gets…”; “...and, it seems, everything

you apply, you don’t need anything; no, give him more..." This

characterizes the mayor as a greedy and greedy person.

His virtue is manifested only in

attitude towards his wife and daughter. He doesn't leave them in

ignorance about the arrival of the auditor and, even strongly

in a hurry, he writes a tender and polite note to his wife: “Kissing,

darling, your hand, I remain yours..."

Thus, the mayor introduces himself to us

“a smart man in his own way” who managed to direct everything

city ​​affairs for their own enrichment.

The final scene of the comedy is a worthy ending

activities of the mayor. He appears

a fooled, stupid man who was easily deceived

a visiting rogue from St. Petersburg is around his finger. It was

such a shock for Anton Antonovich that he

he repeats in bewilderment: “How am I - no, how am I, old fool?

The stupid ram is out of his mind! Look, look,

the whole world, all of Christianity, everyone look how fooled

mayor!

The mayor was taught a good lesson. Maybe

Perhaps this comedy by Gogol will appear in our time

a reminder to every official that in his life he can

the same “auditor” will appear.

Judge - Lyapkin-Tyapkin.

A wonderful “talking” surname

Gogol awards the local judge - “Lyapkin-

Tyapkin." It immediately becomes clear what's going on

he is a blunder. Ammos Fedorovich

interested only in hunting and taking bribes

greyhound puppies, considers himself

a highly moral person. His

indifference to official matters and

responsibilities are so great that the district

the trial is gradually turning into something like

farms - they contain guards right in front

domestic geese. Private bailiff,

called upon to maintain order, rather, himself

is rampant. For him to punish, not

having figured it out, an innocent person -

The usual thing.

Postmaster Shpekin.

Postmaster Shpekin is not only a fool, but also a scoundrel.

He openly opens and reads other people's letters, and

he keeps the most interesting ones for his collection.

local officials are mired in bribery and

arbitrarily. The moral of these people is: “There is no man

who would not have any sins behind him. This

God himself has already arranged it this way...” The skill is not

to miss what floats into your hands by itself is, according to

in their opinion, a manifestation of intelligence and enterprise.

The work of N.V. Gogol, in my opinion, is not so much

it’s comical how much is filled with tragedy, because, reading

it, you begin to understand: a society in which

there are so many debased, corrupted

idleness and impunity of leading officials, not

has a future.

conference "KHLESTAKOV - THE FIRST OF ARTISTIC

OTKRITIY N.V. GOGOL!!!"

“The Inspector General” is a comedy that shows in a satirical form how inaction and irresponsibility can lead an individual and a city to complete decline. Each character is described in the work in a bright and unusual, exaggerated and funny way. The satirical portrayal of officials in the comedy “The Inspector General” is no coincidence. Each of them is shown very sharply and ironically, and it is due to this that the effect is achieved when the comedy raises very important and global issues.

What is satire

Satire in literature is used to ridicule certain vices. In comedy, satire is intended, with the help of humor, irony, and sarcasm, to expose what is negative and negative in life. With the help of humor, the reader understands how scary the event being described really is. Sharp and vivid images, which are difficult to meet in real life, provide an opportunity to look at the world differently. All the vices that are not always visible at first glance in an ordinary person are obvious here. With the help of satire, the author emphasizes and ridicules phenomena that he considers unacceptable in real life. But, unfortunately, the reality is that it is in reality that satire finds its origins.

Images of officials

In The Inspector General, each image is described very clearly and vividly. All officials represent certain vices, which together add up to a picture of the complete ruin of the city. Any of them combines exaggerated qualities. However, none of them are evil.

All officials in “The Inspector General” are characterized by common features. All of them are exemplary family men. They all take bribes, and accordingly, they are not shy or afraid to give them. Each of them fawns over their superiors. In an attempt to serve, any of the officials forgets and loses himself. In general, each of them is a good-natured person who does not wish harm to anyone. It’s just that none of them bears responsibility for their own position and failure to fulfill their duties. Because each of them allows himself to live and work this way, the city turns into a dump where dirt and devastation reign.

Speaking surnames

It is noteworthy that in Gogol’s comedy each surname clearly describes its character, his attitude to work and to life. For example, Judge Lyapkin-Tyapkin refers to his work as “Tyap-blunder”, Strawberry is as round and sweet as a berry, the surname Shpekin comes from the word “spic”, which translated means “informer”, “secret agent”. It is these names that help create a satirical image of each of the officials.

It would seem that it is almost impossible to meet such people in life, because their images are exaggerated. But in fact, if you look closely, each of them can be seen in real people. Even today, many years after the comedy was written, all these vices exist in real life. People still shirk their responsibilities, shift responsibility onto the shoulders of others, fawn over their superiors, and try to please their superiors during any inspection. It is important to understand that only by working according to honor can you achieve results.

Gogol notes that the system itself made officials like this. But today officials still take bribes, cover up criminals, and avoid responsibility for their decisions and inaction.

This article will help you write an essay “The portrayal of officials in the comedy “The Inspector General,” give a description of the satire and a satirical description of each of the characters in the comedy, draw conclusions and compare the images of officials with the current situation.

1. “I seemed to have a presentiment: today I dreamed all night about two unusual rats. Really, I’ve never seen anything like this: black, of unnatural size! They came, they smelled it, and they left.”(Gorodnichy, Anton Antonovich)

2. “...I’m so hungry and there’s a chattering in my stomach as if a whole regiment had blown its trumpets. We won’t get there, and that’s all, home! ... he squandered his expensive money, my dear, now he’s sitting there with his tail twisted...”(Osip)

3. “Why not? I saw it myself, walking past the kitchen, there was a lot of cooking going on there. And in the dining room this morning, two short men were eating salmon and a lot of other things.”(Khlestakov)

4. “Fi, mama, blue!” I don’t like it at all: Lyapkina-Tyapkina wears this, and Zemlyanikin’s daughter also wears blue. No, I’d rather wear a colored one.” (The mayor's daughter, Marya Antonovna)

5. (entering and stopping, to himself). “God, God! Bring it out safely; and so he breaks his knees. (Aloud, stretched out and holding the sword with his hand.)

Check yourself. Slide.

2 . Analysis of act 4 of the comedy: (Address to the 2nd epigraph)

“Khlestakov plays the main role in the action. All other faces revolve around him, like planets around the sun.”

Y. Mann.

What are the planets that revolve around the sun?(planets are officials who revolve around the sun - Khlestakov, for them Khlestakov is the sun on which their well-being depends)

Let's look at the names of the heroes: their surnames speak for themselves.

Let us now turn to Khlestakov, whom Mann compares to the sun: (Appearance V p. 47, 2nd act) How does this monologue hate Khlestakov?

Let's move on to the analysis of Act 4 and analyze the scenes where officials gather in the mayor's house. (Page 162 of the textbook) Slide

With what intentions did they gather at the mayor’s house the next day? (They seek the best form of presentation to the “auditor” and strive to find the best way to bribe the distinguished guest)

Vocabulary work. slide

Give a lexical interpretation of the word"bribe".

(A bribe is money or material assets given to an official as a bribe, as payment for actions punishable by law.)

Why do you think Gogol does not use the word “bribe” anywhere, but replaced it with the vernacular?“slip ”, this is what officials say to themselves, but out loud “to lend money”? (to say “bribe” is to admit that you are guilty of doing something wrong or not doing it at all. And of course they don’t even admit it to themselves..) For example, remember the postmaster: he read the letter, talks about it out loud, but does not consider it a crime ... "

What details indicate that bribes are commonplace?

(They talk about how bribes are given and how they are taken)

Who is the first to offer to “slip”? (Judge) The purpose of these bribes?

(Protect, protect your department from audits)

Phenomenon 3.p. 163 textbook (reading and analysis)

Read the words of Ammos Fedorovich “to the side.”(“And the money is in your fist, and your fist is all on fire”, “like hot coals under you”, “now I’m on trial”, “Well, it’s all over - gone! gone!”)

How does a judge feel when giving a bribe? ( Fear )

How does he give a bribe?

Who else gives bribes?(All)

How do they do it? (they enter and address Khlestakov solemnly, worried: Luka Lukich is lighting a cigarette from the wrong end)

It adds comedy pathos

Vocabulary work. Slide.

Here the comedy turns into tragedy, that is, the pathos of the comedy changes. Give a lexical interpretation of the word “pathos”.

PATHOS . (Inspiration, excitement, enthusiasm)

Write the new word in your notebook and remember its meaning.

Does Khlestakov understand why they give him money? ( No )

How do Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky behave with Khlestakov? (They give him little money, they are not afraid of him, like others, but one of them - Dobchinsky - has business with Khlestakov)

Let's turn again to epigraph 2.

Now it becomes clearer to you how the planets are - officials revolve around Khlestakov. What can you say about the officials?

Let's write the conclusion in a notebook (slide): “Confusion, fear, and trepidation are common to all officials; each of them gives a bribe in their own way, which is reflected in their speech, actions and remarks.”

Phenomenon 12-14. Page 168-171 textbook

- Is there a love plot in a comedy? ( No ). Why do you think so? (because Khlestakov’s main weaknesses are money, women and lies. He cannot deny himself all this if there is even the slightest opportunity).

Love is a high feeling, but here it is not. HE fell in love with someone? ( No . Khlestakov feels confident when communicating with ladies._

And his explanation with mother and daughter isparody of a love affair.

Slide. Notebook: " There is no love plot in a comedy, and there is a parody of a love affair.)

How do officials find out that Khlestakov is not an auditor?? Page 177 textbook

Why don't they want to catch up with him? (They are afraid that others will find out about this and they will become a laughing stock)

Conclusion based on the image of Khlestakov:

- Are Khlestakov better or worse than officials?(same as them)

3. Drawings for “The Inspector General” and their analysis: Slide.

Give a brief description and analysis of what is depicted.

(If you have time: which episode did you like? Why? (The meaning of the silent scene and role-playing of the episodes chosen by the children)

4. Summing up

Look at the epigraphs for the lesson. The expression “sea of ​​fear” is what you think.....(fear of punishment, loss of position).

"...like planets around the sun..."(Khlestakov for them is the sun on which their well-being depends)

What do you think the “new” auditor will be like for them? Are you sure that an honest auditor has arrived? And what happens next? (Perhaps what happened, and will have to pay bribes again. Or he won’t take them and then they will lose their places). Both are scary for officials.

Is comedy outdated?

Are the questions that worried Gogol 200 years ago still relevant?

Why is bribery dangerous? (Bribery is considered one of the most dangerous and at the same time one of the most widespread manifestations of corruption. Bribery is the most typical manifestation of corruption - the most dangerous criminal phenomenon that undermines the foundations of state power and governance)

5. Grades for work in class:

(give everyone grades, mark everyone’s work)

6. Homework: Slide. 1. Determine what is the skill of N.V. Gogol the comedian.
