"Your people - we will be considered": a brief comedy

The comedy "Our People - We'll Be Considered," the brief content of which we present to your attention, begins with the fact that the daughter of the merchant Bolshova, Lipochka, talks about sitting at the window with a book about dances. She dreams that her, dressed up as a picture, will be invited to the waltz by an interesting gentleman. But what if she gets embarrassed? And the young lady is accepted to waltz.

The dancing Lipochka is caught by her mother, Agrafena Kondratyevna. Scolds her, but her daughter is being naughty and demands a groom, or all her friends have long been with her husbands. In their obviously habitual squabble it is obvious that Lipochka is a close-knit girl, completely spoiled by her mother.

Soon the matchmaker, Ustinya Naumovna, is announced. She complains that she can not figure out how to pick up the groom in a family, where everyone wants different things. Mamma - an old-fashioned merchant, papa - certainly rich, and her daughter wants only noble.

As the comedy "Your People Are Considered," the short story of which you read, the father of the family, the wealthy merchant Bolshov, later decided to declare himself bankrupt in order to become even richer in consultation with the former solicitor Rypopolozhensky. He believes that it is not a sin to deceive lenders who have money. One only worries a cunning merchant: to whom to rewrite his property?

The solicitor advises the most suitable candidate - Lazar Podhalyuzin, bailiff Bolshov. Here, by the way, he is announced. Describes how he trains sellers in the shop to behave "more natural", deceiving buyers. It is clear from the manners of this young man that he will go far in his environment. He skillfully flattered the master, promising him "into the fire and water" for him, and the rich merchant sincerely believes in it.

The comedy "Our People - We'll Be Considered", a brief summary of which has been proposed here, very vividly represents the people gathered in the house of Bolshov. All of them, without exception, think only of their own profit, and at every opportunity they "drown" the one who is near. In this we shall see later.

Convincing both Rispolozhensky and Ustin Naumovna to support his person as a possible successor to the state of Bolshov and a candidate for his daughter's hand, he does not regret words on promises. Matchmaker decides to inform the new groom, who hitherto had been wooing for Lipochka, that her father does not have money. A solicitor praises Podhalyuzin as the most convenient companion to participate in the case of bankruptcy.

Lazar himself in a conversation with Bolshov skillfully screwed up compliments to the Olympics Samsonovna and, as a result, as the play "Your People - We'll Count," the short story of which you read, achieves that Bolshov decides to give his daughter for the clerk. He argues that it is better to rewrite your wealth to a son-in-law than to an outsider.

Bolshov declares Podhalyuzin as the bridegroom of his daughter and, despite her resistance, stands firm on her. And Lazar at this time promises her mother that in her old age there will be no more caring son for her than he.

Left alone with the disrupted Lipochka, the clerk informs that her papa is now bankrupt. And all his money belongs to Lazarus. Lypochka falls into a panic: "We were brought up, and went bankrupt!" But the clerk promised her that, after marrying him, she would not know of any refusal. The young lady, having thought it over, agrees, and the matchmaking takes place, as Ostrovsky says. "Your people - we will be considered," the brief content of which you see, with a bitter irony, further narrates how young people treated the merchant Bolshov.

In the last act Lipochka already lives a happy married life with Podhalyuzin, who spoils his wife. But he sends out former assistants one after another with nothing. Matchmaker gets only an unimportant dress (instead of a sable salo), and the solicitor gets only a hundred pieces of paper. Bolshova enterprising young man and does send away without a penny, despite the fact that he faces Siberia.

But, referring to the audience, Podhalyuzin assures that if he is sent to the store to send a child, he will not be deceived "even in a bulb".

After reading the comedy "His people - we will be counted," analysis, perhaps, is not required, because the characters of the great Russian writer Ostrovsky appear too bright and convex, they say everything for themselves.
