Let's read the summary. The "Inspector General" NV Gogol

The satirical work of N. V. Gogol begins with the famous phrase of the mayor about "unpleasant" news: an inspector comes to the city.

Action 1 (from the governor)

The governor informs about the forthcoming visit of the auditor and advises the assembled officials to establish order in their departments, and then in the courthouse, for example, the watchman is kept by geese. She orders to sweep the streets clean and see all the letters that are sent from the post office.

Further, the Inspector General, whose summary of actions we propose, tells how the landowners Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky burst into the room, who had just seen a gentleman in the hotel who looked very much like an official from the capital: he lived a week, paid nothing and carefully examined , That eat those who come.

The frightened governor rushes to the suddenly announced auditor at full speed.

Action 2 (hotel room)

Further, the summary of the "Inspector General" can only to a small extent convey how poor Khlestakov is suffering, already a month in transit. He lost, according to the servant Osip, all the money, and now he does not even have to eat.

Hardly having borrowed a loan from the owner of a dinner, frivolous Khlestakov starts to dream, as he, finally reaching his destination, will amaze his chic "St. Petersburg" kind of everyone in his father's house and surroundings.

When a governor appears in his room with his retinue, the young man becomes so frightened that he begins to make excuses, promising to return everything to a penny. A senior official, not quite understanding what the "inspector" is saying, is trying to put him to him, offering a bribe and inviting him to his house to stay. The whole absurdity of what is happening in the play can not convey our brief content. "The Inspector General" further describes how this sitcom developed.

Action 3 (from the governor)

In the house of the mayor, his wife and daughter are looking forward to the news. And, having received the news that a formidable official is being taken to them, they are hotly discussing their outfits.

Having grown freshened after a hearty treat at Strawberry in the hospital, Khlestakov condescendingly listens to the boasting of the caretaker of God-pleasing establishments and the governor himself. He, drawing before the ladies, tells stories about his friendship with Pushkin, about his management of the department and how he was mistaken for the commander-in-chief. In general, all this will not be given a summary. The "Inspector General" gave the whole explanation to the lips of Khlestakov himself: "My lightness is extraordinary in my thoughts."

Afraid that even half of the said tipsy guest - though, officials decide to give him a bribe.

Action 4 (in the house of the governor)

The next day, overworked, they in turn come into the room to Khlestakov and under various pretexts leave money for him. However, our hero does not stop them from doing it.

Encouraged by this turn of events, he sits down for a letter to a friend, where he gives Detailed and very impartial description of their hospitable hosts.

Further events will only briefly convey the summary. "The Inspector General" described in detail how the merchants, the widow of the non-commissioned officer, and the metalworker were drawn to complaints about harassment and resentment to the visitor. All Khlestakov promises intercession and from all takes remuneration.

Appearing "accidentally" Mary Antonovna was immediately taken in the face of the erratic young man who, without thinking twice, made her a declaration of love. Angry Anna Andreevna, finding such a passage, runs away her daughter, but also falls under a hail of compliments and confessions. After all, he does not care who he is in front of him. As a result, Marya Antonovna's offer of the hand and heart was made, and under the pretext of extreme necessity the windy Khlestakov left the city.

And the governor is going to dream with his wife about the future wonderful life in Petersburg. To all who complained about him, Anton Antonovich gives a crouch and receives money and congratulations in return. But the postmaster, who opened the letter of the "inspector", is destroying this idyll.

And the most terrible happens at the moment when the gendarme enters the office announcing the arrival "by a personal order" of an official who demands everyone to himself. A curtain.

Once again we recall that this is a summary. The "Inspector" is a work that must be read to every person who loves his native language and literature, pretending to be considered educated.
