The citation of Famusov

All events will unfold very early at dawn,When the day is a little dawn, and end when the last lamp goes out. It is from the very moment when the battle of the ancient clock breaks the earlier sleepy morning that old Famusov will be involved first in the events of the comic drawings, but gradually all this will develop into drama.

The image of the owner of the house has a dual character. In the first part of the work he is put in an absurd situation of intrigue of youth, which he can not trace and understand in any way. At first Sophia fools his head with some lover, born in poverty, and then he is frightened by Chatsky with his freethinking - "Carbonarians". And further from everything he has seen and heard, he himself begins to wait for something like "robbery and fire", and therefore, with all his might, he will try to save his daughter and guests from Chatsky, whom he calls the "insane Voltairean".

Famous Characteristics of Famusov and Chatsky

Famusov is a vivid representative of the old andhardened Moscow nobility. The citation of Famusov indicates that he is still a "tough nut". His beliefs and views are unshakable, because they represent the experience of ancestors and passed down from generation to generation. He absolutely does not listen to other people's thoughts and arguments, and therefore Griboyedov purposely makes him deaf. In a conversation with Chatsky, he often expressed: "I do not listen"; "Under the court! Under the court!" His negative attitude towards Chatsky is completely opposite to walking around with Skalozub, in which he shows his interest as a potential bridegroom for Sophia.Famusov's attitude to Skalozub defines his equal attitude both to family life and to service because everything is built on the same benefit. Chatsky about Skalozub responds with the words: "He has a passion for uniform."

Conflict

The citing characteristic of Famusov says that he will never allow "to introduce to his family" such a person, for him he is the face of anti-state views, and this means that such people need to be afraid not to bring disaster upon themselves.

For FAMUSOV the most terrible thing is that Chatsky has a lotthinks, and yet he has a habit of having his own judgment in everything, which he freely expresses. Famusov says of him: "What's he saying! And he says, as he writes! "The landlord realizes that the ability to think and speak like this is brought up by means of books, and therefore Famusov expresses himself with indignation about education:" If you stop the evil, collect all the books and burn it. "

Ending the play

Fatousov freethinking Chatsky calls "plague andinfectious disease ", he considers his generation to be thoughtless, from which it is necessary to protect the family and the state. Falsely thinking that Sophia is twisting the novel with Chatsky, Famusov decides to pronounce him crazy: "I will read out to all the people"; "I will go to the senate to the ministers, the sovereign."

This is precisely the whole citation characteristic of Famusov. "Woe from Wit" shows a very bright and picturesque image with typical aristocratic thoughts and habits of his time.
