Monologue of Chatsky (act. 2 yavl. 5)

And who are the judges? - For the antiquity of years

To a free life their enmity is irreconcilable,

Judgments draw from forgotten newspapers

The times of the Ochakovskys and the conquest of the Crimea;

Always ready to churn

They all sing the same song

Without noticing about yourself:

What is older is worse.

Where? show us, fathers of the fatherland,

Which should we take as samples?

Are not these rich in robbery?

They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,

Magnificent building chambers,

Where they overflow in feasts and extravagance,

And where foreign clients will not resurrect

The meanest traits of the past life.

Yes, and who in Moscow did not clamp their mouths

Lunches, dinners and dances?

Isn't it the one you are to whom I am still from the cradle,

For some incomprehensible intentions,

Did they take the child to bow?

Made all of Moscow marvel at their beauty!

But the debtors did not agree to the postponement:

Cupids and Zephyrs all

Sold out singly!!!

Here are those who lived to gray hair!

That's who we should respect in the wilderness!

Here are our strict connoisseurs and judges!

Now let one of us

Of the young people, there is: the enemy of quest,

Not demanding either places or promotions,

In the sciences, he will stick the mind, hungry for knowledge;

Or in his soul God himself will excite the heat

To creative arts, lofty and beautiful,—

They immediately: robbery! fire!

And they will be known as a dreamer! dangerous!! —

Uniform! one uniform! he is in their former life

Once sheltered, embroidered and beautiful,

Their weak-heartedness, reason poverty;

And we follow them on a happy journey!

And in wives, daughters to the uniform the same passion!

Have I renounced tenderness to him for a long time?!

Now I can’t fall into this childishness;

But then who would not be attracted to everyone?

When from the guard, others from the court

Came here for a while:

Women shouted: hurrah!

And they threw caps into the air!

Plot:

The young nobleman Alexander Andreevich Chatsky returns from abroad to his beloved Sofya Pavlovna Famusova, whom he has not seen for three years. Young people grew up together and loved each other since childhood. Sophia was offended by Chatsky because he suddenly abandoned her, left for St. Petersburg and "did not write three words."

Chatsky arrives at Famusov's house with the decision to marry Sophia. Contrary to his expectations, Sophia meets him very coldly. Turns out she's in love with someone else. Her chosen one is the young secretary Alexei Stepanovich Molchalin, who lives in her father's house. Chatsky cannot understand "who is nice" to Sophia. In Molchalin, he sees only "the most miserable creature" not worthy of Sofya Pavlovna's love, who does not know how to love passionately and selflessly. In addition, Chatsky despises Molchalin for trying to please everyone, for honoring rank. Upon learning that it was such a person who won Sophia's heart, Chatsky is disappointed in his beloved.

Chatsky pronounces eloquent monologues in which he denounces Moscow society (the ideologist of which is Sophia's father Pavel Afanasyevich Famusov). However, there are rumors in society about Chatsky's madness, launched by an annoyed Sophia. At the end of the play, Chatsky decides to leave Moscow.

In the comedy, only 2 classical unities are observed: place and time (the action takes place in Famusov's house during the day); the third unity - action - is absent, in work 2 storylines: Chatsky's love and confrontation between Chatsky and Moscow society. The main idea of the tragicomedy: the protest of a free person "against the vile Russian reality." (A. S. Griboyedov).

To Russia, to the barbarians, with fear and tears...

Do not judge and you will not be judged, today the terms from Chatsky's monologue are more relevant than ever, but who is to judge? Written by Griboyedov a couple of centuries ago. Truly a great classic and his words are relevant to this day.
Chatsky is the protagonist of the comedy "Woe from Wit".
The main thing: beauty, honest, straightforward, free-thinking, true, patriot, “serves the cause, not individuals”, ridicules adventures in front of foreign ones, disinterested, has a sharp critical mind.
Views: (quotes from the text)
“..I would be glad to serve sickeningly..”
Heroes of the comedy about Chatsky:
1) “he writes gloriously, translates,” Famusov says about him
2) ".. he is sensitive And cheerful, and Auster .." - says the maid Lisa about him.

Chatsky's monologue full text:
And who are the judges? - For the antiquity of years
To a free life their enmity is irreconcilable,
Judgments draw from forgotten newspapers
The times of the Ochakovskys and the conquest of the Crimea;
Always ready to churn
They all sing the same song
Without noticing about yourself:
What is older is worse.
Where? show us, fathers of the fatherland,
Which should we take as samples?
Are not these rich in robbery?
They found protection from court in friends, in kinship,
Magnificent building chambers,
Where they overflow in feasts and extravagance,
And where clients - foreigners will not resurrect
The meanest traits of the past life.
Yes, and who in Moscow did not clamp their mouths
Lunches, dinners and dances?
Isn't it the one you are to whom I am still from the cradle,
For some incomprehensible intentions,
Were the children taken to pay respects?
That Nestor of noble villains,
Crowd surrounded by servants;
Zealous, they, in the hours of wine and fight,
Both honor and his life saved him more than once: suddenly
He traded three greyhounds for them!!!
Or - that one else, which is for fun,
He drove to the fortress ballet on many wagons
From mothers, fathers of rejected children?!
He himself is immersed in mind in marshmallows and cupids,
Made all of Moscow marvel at their beauty!
But the debtors did not agree to the postponement: -
Cupids and marshmallows all
Sold out individually!!!
Here are those who lived to gray hair!
That's who we should respect in the wilderness!
Here are our strict connoisseurs and judges!
Now let one of us
Of the young people, there is: the enemy of quest,
Not demanding either places or promotions,
In the sciences, he will stick the mind, hungry for knowledge;
Or in his soul God himself will excite the heat
To creative arts, lofty and beautiful,
They immediately: - Robbery! fire!
And they will be known as a dreamer! dangerous!! -
Uniform! one uniform! He is in their former life
Once sheltered, embroidered and beautiful,
Their weak-heartedness, reason poverty;
And we follow them on a happy journey!
And in wives, daughters to the uniform the same passion!
Have I renounced tenderness to him for a long time?!
Now I can’t fall into this childishness,
But then who would not follow everyone?
When from the guard, others from the court
Came here for a while
Women shouted: hurrah!
And they threw caps into the air!

Video of Chatsky's monologue performed by Vitaly Solomin watch online:
The author of the play shows the irreconcilability of Chatsky's collision with Famusov's society. Chatsky, due to his high development, does not understand what morals, ideals, principles are pursued by representatives Famus Society. The hero does not prevaricate, but speaks directly about his views, for which he will be convicted.
In the end, Chatsky, who remained unaccepted and misunderstood in the circles of Famus society, rejected by the love of his life, actually runs away from Moscow, he leaves this place and, at first glance, one gets the unequivocal impression that the finale is tragic for the protagonist. However, reflecting on this, the conclusion is brewing that Chatsky is defeated only by the number of opinions and unacceptable views, and not by their essence. On the part of society, he really suffered a defeat, but the fact that from the spiritual, moral side Chatsky undoubtedly defeated Famusov and his entourage remains undeniable.
The hero was able to make a crazy commotion in this society. And to be able to prove with dignity the individuality and protect one’s personality, which has an opinion and a view on every manifestation of life, to present one’s disagreement with reason, openly expressing views on the existing foundations of life – this is the true victory of morality. And it is no coincidence that the hero is called crazy. Indeed, could anyone really object in the Famus circle? Nobody, just crazy.
Indeed, it is not easy for Chatsky to realize that he was not understood, because Famusov's house is still dear and significant to him. He is forced to leave these places, since the adaptation is in no way inherent in Chatsky. He goes the other way - the road of honor. The hero will never be able to accept false feelings and emotions.

Monologue of Chatsky (act. 2 yavl. 5)

Illustration by D. N. Kardovsky. 1912

"Woe from Wit"- a comedy in the verses of A. S. Griboyedov. A work that made its creator a classic of Russian literature. Comedy combines elements of classicism and romanticism and realism, new for the beginning of the 19th century.

The comedy "Woe from Wit" - a satire on the aristocratic Moscow society of the first half of the 19th century - is one of the pinnacles of Russian drama and poetry; actually completed the "comedy in verse" as a genre. The aphoristic style contributed to the fact that she "dispersed into quotes."
