A brief analysis of the "Chameleon" Chekhov A.P.

So it turned out that many doctors who changed their doctoral tools to a pen of writing do not like people too much. Rather, the writers-doctors (AP Chekhov and MA Bulgakov) have a complex attitude toward man, dual: on the one hand, they do not like the person for his shortcomings and ruthlessly scour them in their works, and on the other - They feel sorry for their brother. The topic of our article is "Analysis" of the Chameleon Chekhov. She narrates about the Russian classics as a talented exposer of human vices. The focus is on conformism and adaptability.

Noise in the Marketplace

Opens the story "Chameleon" scene in the market square. The attention of the police superintendent (Ochumelov) was attracted by the noise: the wood merchant Pichugin was swearing at someone. When the policeman understood, it turned out that the brawler was arguing with the dog. At the scene of the events, a crowd was already gathered, to which the warder had gone too, in order to clarify the details of what had happened.

Pichugin and the puppy

Goremyk-Pichugina was bitten by a dog-a small puppy of a greyhound breed, as evidenced by the bloody finger of the unfortunate upstairs. The merchant insisted on compensation, because he broke down in the labor sense, perhaps for a whole week.

First, the policeman decides to kill the puppy, thinking that he is a stray. Then one of the people says: "So it's from the general's pack." Policheskiy is changing before our eyes: the victim Pichugin turns into the culprit, then it is audible: "No, he's a strayer." The mood of Ochumelov again changes the pole.

Chef Prochor

So they would stand all day in the marketplace, if not for the cook of the general - Prokhor, who resolved the situation in favor of the dog, saying that it was not a general puppy, but the other day the host's brother came to visit them, that's his animal. In the end, everything ends not in favor of the bitten.

An analysis of Chekhov's "Chameleon" is preceded by the plot of the work, without which the study does not have the necessary factual basis.

Conformism as a characteristic of the petty ranks in Russia

Is it possible to condemn the overseer for fitness? You can condemn, but it's pointless, because the less the rank of a person, the more dependent he is on other people. The only thing that could be done by Ochumelov is not to rush to conclusions and to understand the situation in detail, and not to expose yourself in public as a fool. The analysis of Chekhov's "Chameleon" moves further and goes beyond its own limits. The theme of conformism thematically links the "Chameleon" and "Mask" among themselves.

Chekhov's "Mask" and the Case of Conformism in Elite Circles

It turns out that, as Chekhov shows, a person adapts not only because of fear of starving to death, but, as it were, habitually crouching and licking his eyes. Prove this sad fact will help us not only analyze the "Chameleon" Chekhov, but also the psychological study of "Masks" - works of the same author.

The case in the library

The place of the event is a public club, time 00:00. In the midst of the ball-masquerade, but there were somehow some people who do not dance, they retired to the library and read it.

Suddenly, a man appears in a lackey uniform and wearing a mask. Next is a waiter with a tray served with wine, and two ladies of easy virtue. The waiter begins to give noisy orders where to put alcohol, where it is better to sit down and so on. Is not it true that the outset of this work of the Russian classic slightly resembles the events of the previous work, even if we do not go deep into Chekhov's analysis of the Chameleon story.

Then it is accepted for the visitors of the library. He tells them all sorts of nastiness, screams at them. In a word, he behaves extremely unpleasantly and provocatively.

This behavior is all the more outrageous, because in a quiet corner of the public club, respectable people gathered, among them even the bank's director was present, policemen ran to the noise from the library, the dances stopped.

Masks are torn off, there are no more masks

A man in lackeys' form, waiting for the people to gather on the show, tears off the mask from his face, and beneath it is a local brawler and a millionaire. All the assembled people stand, stricken with thunder, there is no trace of their indignation. On the contrary, all within three seconds clean the library room, leaving the manufacturer with the "mamzels" alone. The narrative ends with the sign phrase of the chief of police: "A wretch, a mean man, but a benefactor! .. It is impossible! ..". This "can not" thoroughly sits in the minds and souls of those who are forced to submit to their superiors all their lives. After all, the same conclusion brings us and the analysis of Chekhov's story "Chameleon".

Why is a Russian person incapable of a civil rebellion against rudeness?

AS Pushkin also said: "The Russian rebellion is senseless and merciless." Russia is a country of contrasts and contradictions. Usually a Russian person speaks of himself (or his fellowmen): "I know how to do well only two things: to work and fight." It seems to us that he is not very fair to himself. In fact, the Russian feels great only in extreme situations and situations, and all the rest of the time he is perfectly tolerant of all sorts of inconveniences. This conclusion brings us an analysis of the work of Chekhov's "Chameleon", and, of course, not only does he suggest such thoughts. But if suddenly a Russian person gets tired of enduring, then escape, who can.

Usually we Russians are very proud of our patience and our firepower. But is there anything to be proud of? Perhaps, the contradictions of our national character and do not allow us to arrange, finally, life as required by the laws of reason?

We are very proud of our spirituality, as if it justifies the "Bulgakov's ruin" reigning everywhere and everywhere. Perhaps the Russian person also hints that without devastation there would be no spirituality? In any case, the Russian classic AI Chekhov does not believe in this. "Chameleon" (his analysis also) confirms that for one of the most famous doctors in literature, spirituality is separate, and "devastation" is separate. In clean entrances and the general order there is nothing wrong, and also there is nothing nasty in putting the boors in place. One misfortune - because of his character, a Russian person is not inclined to half-measures.

Is there an exit?

In the early works of A.P. Chekhov does not give any recipes. In the work "Gooseberries," the writer in his usual manner paints a person without embellishment, but then the narrator suddenly concludes: "Do good while you can."

Of course, such an analysis does not have an analysis of Chekhov's story "Chameleon", but it is necessary to understand what counter-arguments we have against this "impossible" policeman from the "Mask", so we resort to the help of a later and The adult Chekhov.

Youth is satisfied with what it reveals. Maturity still wants to find some way out of the current situation, somehow overcome the evil prevailing in the world. Only good can resist evil. This turned out to be a brief analysis of Chekhov's Chameleon.
