F. M. Dostoevsky, "Teenager": a brief summary and analysis

About Fedor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky, one can say that he is "the mind, honor and soviet" of his era, a great thinker of Russian classics. The problems of the society he shows are very relevant for us today. Of course, he is the same person with vices and passions and is as ambivalent as his heroes, whom he always describes with great love and understanding, but constantly fighting and, above all, with himself.

Is this the novel "Teenager"? The brief content of this work will not give a full picture, but it will shed light on many aspects of people's lives that, like many, many years ago, are ready to sacrifice everything for the sake of money: honor, name and position.

Pure psychology and realism

The novel "Teenager" is not simple in the plot, the brief content of which indicates that, without understanding its internal problems, a person often goes insane or commits suicide. From nobility to meanness, he always has one step. In a moment, he can execute or pardon, blacken or justify, and sometimes do not immediately understand where is true, and where lies.

Critics very often accused Dostoevsky of being too realistic to describe the state of the soul of his characters and the difficult moments in which his characters turned out to be. From ill-wishers, the writer in the open received hints that he himself could be an accomplice in some not very personal situations, and, perhaps, even criminal events.

A very difficult person was F. M. Dostoyevsky. "Teenager" (a short summary of the work will be considered a little later) fully demonstrates this statement of fact.

Arkady

In the work, which will be discussed later, the main character is a slightly naive, vain, vulnerable, intelligent and impulsive teenager. Dostoevsky content of the chapters of the novel is not in vain saturated with some deep philosophy of fascinating ideas from a variety of people. Every person lives his ideal - political, religious, love, economic, etc. Everything depends on his culture, moral and spiritual development. The main character, too, adheres to one idea - at whatever price become rich. But more on that later.

Dostoevsky, "The Teenager": a summary

The very first thing that catches your eye when analyzing a work is the age-old problem of "fathers and children", because two heroes are at the forefront - a twenty-year-old young man, Arkady Makarovich Dolgoruky, who bore the surname of his formal father, Makar Ivanov Dolgoruky - the family of the Versilovs , And the father of Arkady - the nobleman Andrei Petrovich Versilov. The mother of the young man Sofia Andreevna is also a servant, later bought out from the Dolgoruky Versilovs, who lived with him and gave birth to two more children - Lisa and another boy, who died early in his illness. She became very old from these events, grief was always visible on her face.

St. Petersburg

And, finally, he came home to his parents in Petersburg. My father invited him because he found a job for him. Versilov the elder preached all sorts of ideas of "world citizenship", Russian culture and "all-reconciliation of ideas." For Arkady Makarovich, he was the only authority and the main ideological inspirer for which he was ready to shoot a duel.

However, despite all this, he travels to St. Petersburg with a certain suspicion, because of bad rumors about his father, and he wants to find out if this is really the case.

A little earlier, he had two documents in his hands, one of which was a document stating that the senior Versilov had won the trial with Sokolsky, but he could be reviewed at any minute and the decision could be directly opposite.

The second document was handed to him by Kraf, who soon shot himself. The paper was a letter, in which it was said that the daughter of Prince Sokolsky considered his father feeble-minded, who was already unable to make independent decisions because of old age, and therefore he needed guardianship. Such a letter, if it fell into the hands of the old prince, would cause a huge scandal and could set up the father against his daughter.

Light-heartedness

Meanwhile, the brief content of Dostoevsky's novel The Teenager increasingly confuses the plot with his riddles and secrets.

For some time, living in St. Petersburg, Arkady addicted to playing roulette and began to lose a lot, while he borrowed money from the son of an old man Sokolsky Sergei, who was entangled in life. Even in the service he was engaged in scams, for which his colleague was unfairly slandered. Then he met Liza, Arkady's sister, but secretly and passionately loved Akhmakov, whom he wanted to marry.

Almost everyone connects to the search for a letter from Ekaterina Akhmakova, except for one - Makar Ivanov Dolgoruky, the servant who was recorded as Father Arkady. He once appears in Versilov's house. He was a very pleasant person, and he was appreciated as a wise and interesting narrator of instructive conversations and a God-fearing person who collected alms for the construction of the temple. He came to them quite sick and exhausted and soon died. In a short time, while he was at their house, Arkady became very attached to him. He considered him to be better and purer than everyone around him. It was this simple man who shed in his soul the vibrant light of spirituality and love.

The Mysterious Escape

At the same time, Versilov's father understands that the formal husband of his humble wife Sophia, with whom he lived for many years, has died, and now she is free. However, he runs away to his long-beloved widow Katerina Akhmakova and asks for her hands. He literally goes mad with love for her, but gets rejected.

Arkady, hearing impartial things from his fellow-swindler Lambert about Katerina Akhmakova, wants to avenge her father and, finally, give her a letter, but with the condition that she will become his wife (Lambert reminded him so). In addition, he certainly wants to see this picture secretly watched by his father, so that his vision of her ideal image of a woman in one moment collapsed, because at stake is the big money of her inheritance.

Dostoevsky built the whole intrigue on this. "Teenager", whose brief content will be continued, is a novel with an unpredictable outcome. However, we will prepare ourselves for the most important thing.

Theft

Once Arkady came once again to Lambert to discuss his plan, but he, after drinking it, steals from him a letter sewn on the floor of a frock coat, and runs to the elder Versilov.

At the same time, the younger one, having become sober from champagne, goes to Tatyana Pavlovna and tells that she wants to give the letter to Katerina Ivanovna herself and put an end to this matter. However, everything collapsed when he found out that he already had no letters. Lambert and Versilov learn about the fact that Akhmakova left for the meeting, and they immediately come into play. While Arkady and Tatyana Pavlovna left the house, Lambert tries to blackmail Katerina Ivanovna, but she categorically refuses to comply with his terms. Meanwhile Versilov watches the whole other picture in another room. He does not need money, he just wants to see how the woman behaves in this very sensitive and dangerous situation and to what critical point of baseness Catherine can reach for money. However, the lady literally spits in the face of Lambert, who sharply grabs a revolver and tries to shoot her. Here the heart of Andrei Petrovich could not stand it, and he rushed to Lambert. A shot sounded ... Lambert lies on the floor like a dead man.

Decoupling

How dashing the plot FM Dostoyevsky dashingly! The "teenager", whose brief content approaches the denouement, is about to be completed.

Then Arkady runs in and sees that his father is turning a revolver and wants to shoot Akhmakov, who fell into a swoon, and then herself. But Arkady was able to warn all this, in time appeared on the threshold with Tatyana Pavlovna, but his father manages to shoot his shoulder. Lambert is alive, he gets up and runs away.

As a magnificent detective finishes his novel FM Dostoevsky. The "teenager", whose brief content keeps the reader in suspense until the very end, says that after all these terrible scenes the letter was returned to Akhmakova, her wedding with Bjoring was upset because he learned about her secret meetings with Arkady. The elder Versilov returned to his family, and this story with a bullet-like shoulder turned into ridiculous rumors that practically came to naught. The whole family has healed calmly and happily.
