The story "After the Ball" is one of the late works of Leo Tolstoy. In this work, L. N. Tolstoy reveals the contradictions of life and shows the strength of the experiences of a young man who is faced with a harsh reality that destroyed his rosy dreams.
The hero, on behalf of whom the story is being told, is “Ivan Vasilievich, respected by all,” in whose fate the case played a decisive role. Before the turning point that happened in the forties, Ivan Vasilievich was "a very cheerful and lively fellow, and even rich," a student at a provincial university who dreams of entering military service. He was young and led a life characteristic of youth: he studied and had fun, and the main pleasure of his life at that time was evenings and balls.
The hero of the story, as it always happens in his youth, was sincerely in love. The object of his affection was the lovely Varenka B..., "tall, slender, graceful and majestic" with an affectionate, always cheerful smile. During this "most powerful love for her", on the last day of Shrovetide, Ivan Vasilyevich was at the ball of the provincial leader. All evening he danced with Varenka and "he was drunk with love without wine." He admired her tall, slender figure in a white dress with a pink belt, saw only "her shining, blushing, dimpled face and gentle, sweet eyes." Love for Varenka "liberated all the hidden" in the young man's soul "the ability to love." “I embraced the whole world at that time with my love,” he says. “I loved the hostess ... and her husband, and her guests, and her lackeys.” At that time, he experienced "some kind of enthusiastic tender feeling" for Varenka's father. He was a very handsome, stately, tall and fresh old man, "a military commander of the type of an old serviceman of the Nikolaev bearing," with a ruddy face and the same kind, joyful smile as his daughter's. When he invited Varenka to dance, everyone around looked at them with enthusiastic tenderness. And the narrator himself, "embracing the whole world with his love," was afraid of only one thing, "so that something would not spoil" this happiness.
But fate wanted his whole life to change from that one night, or rather the next morning, when he witnessed the scene of a monstrous, inhuman in its cruelty punishment, first of a fugitive Tatar, and then of a soldier. Punishment led by the father of his girlfriend. This spectacle caused the hero’s spiritual crisis: “... there was an almost physical, nauseating melancholy in my heart, such that I stopped several times, and it seemed to me that I was about to vomit with all the horror that entered me from this spectacle." He was never able to find out or understand, comprehend why all this “was done with such confidence and was recognized by everyone as necessary ... And without knowing, he could not enter the military service, as he wanted before, and not only did not serve in the military, but did not serve anywhere ... ".
The hero's love for Varenka also waned from that day on. “When she, as often happened with her, with a smile on her face, thought,” Ivan Vasilyevich “now remembered the colonel on the square,” and he felt somehow awkward and unpleasant, he began to see her less and less. And love faded away. Why such a reaction? After all, it was not Varenka who hit the soldier in the face with her beautiful pen.
The story, most of which is devoted to the image of the ball, is not accidentally called “After the Ball”. In the center of the work is an event that played a decisive role in the fate of Ivan Vasilyevich. Tolstoy very accurately built the composition of the story on the contrast of two episodes: a ball at the provincial leader and the punishment of a soldier. Opposed to each other, these episodes are in fact organically connected, as they develop a single artistic idea. We can easily imagine that without a scene of torturing a soldier, the picture of the ball, with its gracefulness, beautiful and fast steps, enthusiastic feelings and delicate white and pink colors, would lose all meaning. And the scene of the execution would not have seemed so terrible to the student, and his despair would not have been so great, if it had not been preceded by the scene of a mazurka at a ball.
Contrasting these scenes, Tolstoy, as it were, takes off the mask from outwardly prosperous and elegant reality. And the more festive and luxurious I imagined the world the young man at first, the more unexpected, the more tragic was his insight, which showed the world from the other side.
The hero, faced with the manifestation of evil in the world and the absolute (at least external) confidence of the people participating in it in the correctness of their actions, understands that the only thing possible for him in this situation is to get rid of evil. I am not free to change the world, to defeat evil, but I and only I am free to agree or disagree to participate in this evil - this is the logic of the hero's reasoning. And Ivan Vasilyevich deliberately builds his path past evil, not participating in it, and, as it were, proving with his whole life the thesis about the possibility and primacy of personal, internal self-improvement. This is the position of Tolstoy himself.
Option number 1314
“After the Ball” is a short story by the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.
Theme of the story
Main characters:
- Ivan Vasilyevich - narrator;
- Pyotr Vladislavovich - rich chamberlain, colonel B.;
- Varenka is the daughter of a colonel.
The work begins with a dialogue between the author and the protagonist - Ivan Vasilyevich. He declares that his whole life turned upside down after one night, on the last day of Shrove Tuesday - Forgiveness Sunday. Then Ivan Vasilyevich was a student at a provincial university (then he was young, now he is over fifty).
That night and the previous evening, two events happened to him: a ball at the military commander, Pyotr Vladislavovich; another event was the terrible spectacle of the brutal beating of a Tatar soldier by the same Pyotr Vladislavovich in the morning after the ball.
Why the main character fell out of love with Varenka, and why he did not go to serve in the military
Pyotr Vladislavovich spoiled his daughter, saved on himself so that she would get the best. The proof of this was his homemade boots, which he also wore to the ball.
Love for Varenka and respect for her father, who introduced himself to Ivan Vasilyevich as a wonderful person, inspired and inspired the protagonist, it seemed to him that there was no better place in the world for these people, and therefore he was happy. But this happiness was instantly destroyed by the events after the ball.
The next morning, Ivan Vasilyevich went to the house of the family of Colonel B. and in the field saw a severe beating of a soldier who had previously tried to escape (“the Tatar is being chased for escape”). The torture was led by Pyotr Vladislavovich; he was self-confident, formidable and merciless, as if everything human had disappeared in him; his cruelty seemed unjustified to the hero.
The main character realized how two-faced Peter Vladislavovich was. Since then, his love for Varenka has waned, it has become embarrassing and unpleasant for him to see her, he realized that the outward brilliance of that family is all feigned and ostentatious. Ivan Vasilyevich also did not enter military service due to the fact that he could not accept and obey the harsh, cruel and merciless laws of the state. They may have been right, but main character could not justify them, just as he could not justify the very cruel punishment of the Tatar.
The story "After the Ball" is an excellent work, where we are talking not only about love, but also moral values, principles. Ivan Vasilievich is a young man who burns with soul and body. He hosts a ball with admiration, where he has the honor of dancing with Varenka.
The girl really likes the hero of the story. He finds in her more and more beautiful features. Then he also meets her father, a colonel. Whoever looked at this couple, at the relationship between Ivan Vasilyich and the colonel, everyone would have promised them a long and happy life.
But the events after the ball ruined everything. The hero witnessed how Varenka's father treated the prisoner cruelly. He gave orders and watched everything that happened with pleasure. Ivan could not understand this. He felt bitter, because he was so admired by this man.
Now, when Ivan looked at Varenka, he no longer burned with those feelings.
His smile faded. He kept recalling the brutal massacre. Therefore, Ivan Vasilyevich fell out of love with Varenka. He did not marry her, because he could not cross his moral principles.
