The image of Famusov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" by AS Griboyedov.

The image of Famusov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" is the embodiment of representatives of the autocracy, a reactionary militant bureaucracy. At the beginning of the XIX century, there were a lot of such people, Griboedov's friends, Pushkin, and the Decembrists spoke about them. The environment of the Bar was negative about everything new, vehemently defended the old order. Famusov is not one person, but a whole class of ignoramuses, for whom nothing in life is more important than money.

Characteristics of the master

The adherence of the rich to the old regime and their resistance to novelty in all manifestations of life is shown in the comedy "Woe from Wit". Famusov is a major official, a landowner, a landowner. He is a very respected person in society, he communicates closely with noble noblemen, titled individuals visit his house. Pavel Afanasievich, according to his views, is an old believer, an adherent of the feudal nobility.

Griboedov image of Famusov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" opened on all sides. For those whom he considers equal, the gentleman is a hospitable and hospitable host, whose house is always open. Pavel Afanasyevich resourceful and witty narrator, good-natured, not devoid of worldly mind. This is a loving father, ready to chide and caress his daughter. He treats servants roughly, grumbling, hot-tempered. As a boss, he is strict and demanding.

The cultural level of the landowner

The image of Famusov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" embodies the half-inquiry of the bar. Pavel Afanasievich boasts that the Moscow girls can not connect two words together, that he has nothing in his office that does not make relatives. Famusov's speech speaks for itself, it has a rich vocabulary, in which folk expressions predominate, and other words come across.

But the master is not able to express complex emotional experiences or talk about science, which indicates his low cultural level. This is an ordinary Russian landowner, who prefers to communicate in everyday language.

The manner of communication

The rules of behavior in society are also touched on in the comedy "Woe from Wit". The image of Famusov is the embodiment of all Russian landlords, who are accustomed to humiliate and insult the weak and poor, to flatter before those they are afraid of or who they are profitable. With a petty official Pavel Afanasyevich communicates to "you" and only arrogant tone. With influential people, he says ingratiatingly, adds to the word "c". A certain speech style makes the image of Famusov in the comedy "Woe from Wit" realistic and truthful, because that was how the whole Moscow nobility spoke.

Griboyedov set himself the goal of exposing the feudal society, to show where their domination leads Russia, and this he did. Contemporaries of the writer, after reading the comedy, learned the events and facts that occurred right before their eyes. Griboyedov did not embellish anything, but realistically portrayed the nobility of the early XIX century. Famusov and his ilk actively opposed education and culture, refusing spiritual and social progress. Such an elite for Russia is a step backwards. This was perfectly understood by both Griboyedov and his contemporaries.
