Characteristic Ranevskaya. "The Cherry Orchard", AP Chekhov

"Cherry Orchard" is one of the most popular and famous works written by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov. It reflects many negative social and historical phenomena of the state system of the time, such as the moral impoverishment and degradation of the nobility, the birth of capitalism, and with it the emergence of a new class - the bourgeoisie. And sadly it sounds, but the main theme of the work was the fate of all of Russia, which is associated with the cherry garden. Before the reader rises from the pages of the life story of the people of tsarist Russia, which invariably went towards rebirth.

Characteristics: Love Ranevskaya ("The Cherry Orchard")

In this play, Ranevskaya and her brother Gayev are representatives of the past, Lopakhin - the present, Anya and Trofim - of the future.

All the events of the work take place in the estate of Lubov Andreevna Ranevskaya, where the big land is occupied by the cherry orchard. All this estate is sold because of the numerous debts of the landlady. She returned home from abroad just in time for the spring, when the whole garden is in white, singing playfully starlings, the sky is blue-blue. Nature is being renewed, and together with it Ranevskaya is enveloped in hopes for a new and happy life. She admires admiringly: "All, all white! Oh, my garden! "

For the future owner, merchant Lopakhin, this cherry orchard is not only an object of a profitable transaction, but also something more. He says that he did not see anything more beautiful than this estate, because his grandfather was here serf.

Portrait characteristics of Ranevskaya from the "Cherry Orchard"

If we take up the description of the artistic portrait of the main character, then we face an image that at first glance will seem very nice and attractive. Ranevskaya is really very sincere and touchingly happy, having fun, and sometimes crying with memories of her childhood or her son, who died.

What was Ranevskaya really like? "Cherry Orchard" (characterization of the heroine in particular) literally right away, in just a few strokes, makes clear all the frivolity of her nature. She behaves too naigrano, so you can immediately doubt the sincerity of her experiences.

She constantly jumps up and walks, very worried, says she can not survive this joy, while kissing the closet and saying: "Laugh at me, I'm stupid ...".

Characteristic Ranevskaya ("The Cherry Orchard") says that she is self-critical and smart enough, but is accustomed to living at someone else's expense. She is no longer able to change anything in herself, so she became a slave of circumstances, caprices and a worthless person who had generalized it.

Ranevskaya herself understands that she is a spender, who quickly and senselessly lowers money, while her adopted daughter Varya feeds the household with milk soup, and the old people in the kitchen are given one pea.

Love

Dealing further with the topic that we touched on, namely "Ranevskaya (" Cherry Orchard "): Characteristics of the Heroine", we note that Lyubov Andreevna at first does not pay any attention to telegrams from Paris from her boyfriend and even tears them until she learns the name of the buyer of her estate . And then she throws to the mercy of fate all (and her girls, Anya and Varya too) and with the last money leaves for Paris. In this city she was going to live for the money that Ani's grandmother sent to buy the estate. Everyone understands that they will not last long.

This behavior allegedly justifies the fact that in all her fault is her love for a dishonest person. But this is hardly a high feeling, on the contrary, there is something low-minded, repulsive in this, even somewhere ridiculous.

Lopakhin

Further, the characteristic of Ranevskaya ("The Cherry Orchard") indicates that she is selfish and very impractical, and she herself says that she is lower than love. However, in her there is something very feminine, easy and attractive, she is nice, kind and sympathetic. But gradually all this together with the feeling of beauty fades away.

Lopakhin sincerely relates to Ranevskaya, he sympathizes with her and shares her enthusiasm for the extraordinary beauty of the cherry garden, and all because he is a very sensitive and gentle person.

Irreplaceable loss

However, Ranevskaya is not destined to save the dear garden for her heart, since she does not have that commercial vein and she will not be able to make it profitable again, as it was almost half a century ago. This fact is emphasized by her remark "... It used to be that the dried cherry was transported by wagons and sent to Moscow and Kharkov. There was money! ".

As a result, Ranevskaya sells a cherry orchard and that beauty that can not protect itself. And so everything must disappear, and with it, something very important and intimate is irretrievably gone.

The same helpless looks and her brother Gayev, who only in his own eyes remained highly aristocratic. Lopakhin, he practically does not notice and considers him a boor, who must be put in place.

Conclusion

As you can see, the characteristic of Ranevskaya ("The Cherry Orchard"), like her brother Gayev, says that, having lost their ancestral nest, the former masters did not learn anything. Very curious about them expressed Maxim Gorky: "Selfish, like children, and flabby, like the old, they were late in time to die and whine, seeing nothing around themselves, without understanding anything, parasites, deprived of the strength again to suck to life."

However, whatever the characterization of Ranevskaya, Chekhov conceived Cherry Orchard just as a comedy, and, perhaps, it was the theatrical and director's production that exaggerated the colors. Who knows?! And maybe to life you need to be treated as carefree, easy and fun as the main character did?
