Pushkin A.S. story "Dubrovsky": Summary.

Chapter 1.

There lived a rich landowner Kirila Petrovich Troekurov on his estate. He was quite rich. They curry favor with him and please him in every possible way. Since Kirila Petrovich was a tyrant, many were afraid of him. Next door to Troyekurov lived the master Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky. They once served together. The two masters were friends among themselves, and the rich Troekurov loved and respected Dubrovsky most of all. After the death of their wives, each was left with children. Troekurov has a daughter, Masha, and Dubrovsky has a son, Vladimir. One day Kirila Petrovich gathered guests. Dubrovsky was also invited. After a hearty lunch, Troekurov decides to show everyone his kennel. During the inspection, Andrei Gavrilovich makes a remark out loud that Troekurov’s dogs live better than the servants. One of the hounds is offended by this and allows himself to say: “It would be nice for another master to exchange his estate for a dog kennel at Troekurov’s . ” Dubrovsky, of course, is offended by such words and leaves. Arriving home, he writes an indignant letter to Troekurov demanding punishment for the impolite servant and an apology to himself. However, Troekurov found the tone of the letter received to be too impudent. At this moment, Dubrovsky learns that the Troekurov men are stealing the forest that grows on the territory of the Dubrovsky estate. Already irritated, Andrei Gavrilovich orders the thieves to be flogged and the horse to be taken away. When Troekurov finds out about this, he becomes furious. All his thoughts are focused on revenge. He decides to take away the Dubrovsky estate called Kistenevka. To do this, he enters into an agreement with assessor Shabashkin and allegedly declares his rights to the lands of Kistenevka.

Chapter 2.

A trial begins, at which Dubrovsky was unable to defend his rights, because. His documents on ownership of Kistenevka burned down. A certain Mr. Anton Pafnutievich Spitsyn testified under oath that the Dubrovskys allegedly illegally owned their estate. By court decision, Troekurov signs a document confirming his right to Dubrovsky’s estate. They offer Andrei Gavrilovich to sign the same document. But he falls into madness and is taken home.

Chapter 3.

Since after everything that happened, Andrei Gavrilovich became completely ill, nanny Egorovna sends a letter to her son Vladimir, a cornet and former graduate of the Cadet Corps. Vladimir immediately goes to his father. The coachman Anton went to meet the young master. He convinced Vladimir that the men wanted to faithfully serve the Dubrovskys, and not the new owner Troekurov. Entering his father’s room, Vladimr sees how seriously ill Andrei Gavrilovich is.

Chapter 4.

The old master’s illness did not allow him to tell the circumstances of the case coherently. Therefore, the deadline for filing an appeal expires and Kistenevka finally passes into the hands of Troekurov. But Kirila Petrovich is no longer happy about what happened. His conscience is tormenting him. He understands that he treated his friend unfairly. The tyrant’s vanity is satisfied, but his close friend is also lost. Tormented by such thoughts, Troekurov decides to reconcile. Wanting to fix everything and return Dubrovsky to his estate, he goes to Kistenevka. Seeing Troekurov approaching through the window, Andrei Gavrilovich, not knowing about Troekurov’s true intentions, experiences a strong shock and is paralyzed. Vladimir kicks Troekurov out. The doctor, who was immediately sent for, could not help and the old master dies.

Chapter 5.

Immediately after the funeral of old Dubrovsky, officials headed by assessor Shabashkin are sent to the Kistenevka estate. They need to prepare everything for the transfer of the house and lands to Troekurov. However, the peasants began to create active obstacles and categorically refused to obey the new owner. Then Vladimir Dubrovsky finds words for the rioters and allows the officials to stay in the house overnight.

Chapter 6.

At night, by order of Vladimir Dubrovsky, the blacksmith Arkhip sets the house on fire. Vladimir did not want the house, with which so many of his childhood memories are connected, to go to his father’s killer. But Vladimir believed that Arkhip would leave the doors and windows of the house open to avoid deaths. However, Arkhip deliberately closed everything tightly and kept silent about it. Therefore, the officials burned out. Pushkin focused on the fact that the same blacksmith Arkhip saved a cat from the fire.

Chapter 7.

An investigation into the fire begins, in which Troekurov takes a personal and active part. It is possible to find out that it was the blacksmith Arkhip who set fire to the Dubrovskys’ former house. Moreover, suspicion also fell on Vladimir Dubrovsky. However, there was no direct evidence. At the same time, a gang of robbers appears in the surrounding area, plundering and setting fire to the estates of landowners. Everyone unanimously decides that the bandits are the Dubrovsky peasants led by Vladimir. However, a gang of robbers bypasses Troyekurov’s estate.

Chapter 8.

In this chapter, Pushkin talks about Mashenka Troekurova. About her childhood among loneliness and romances. Masha grew up and was raised in her father's house with her brother Sasha. He was the son of Kirila Petrovich and a governess. To give Sasha an education, Troyekurov hires teacher Deforge, who wins Masha’s heart. He teaches Masha music. Troekurov himself is quite pleased with the teacher and respects him for his courage of spirit. Pushkin describes the following moment: Kirila Petrovich decided to laugh and came up with a way to scare the Frenchman Deforge. To this end, he pushes the unsuspecting Frenchman into a room with a bear. However, the Frenchman turned out to be not a timid man and, taking out a pistol, kills the animal.

Chapter 9.

A temple festival is described, which Troekurov holds in his estate. Many guests arrive. Among them was a latecomer, the same false witness at the trial, Anton Pafnutievich Spitsyn. He publicly stated that he was afraid of Dubrovsky’s robbers, since he had a large sum of money hidden with him. A discussion begins on the topic of Vladimir Dubrovsky’s gang. The landowner Anna Savishna claims that Dubrovsky is fair and does not rob everyone. For example, he did not take money from her when he learned that she was sending it to her son in the guard. The police officer noted that he would definitely catch the robbers and he had information about the signs of the leader Vladimir Dubrovsky. To which Troekurov noted that anyone can be recognized by these signs. Further, Troekurov self-confidently declared that he was not afraid of robbers. If he is attacked, he will be able to cope with the gang on his own. And then he tells the story about the bear and the courage of Deforge.

Chapter 10.

Troekurov’s confidence in safety does not reassure Spitsyn. Still worried about his money, he asks the brave Frenchman Deforge to spend the night in his room. The teacher agrees. However, at night it turns out that the Frenchman Deforge and the leader of a gang of robbers, Vladimir Dubrovsky, are the same person. Dubrovsky takes Spitsyn’s money and threatens him in case Spitsyn decides to hand him over to Troekurov.

Chapter 11.

In this chapter, Pushkin talks about Dubrovsky’s acquaintance with a real French teacher for Sasha. It happened at the station. Dubrovsky offered the Frenchman 10 thousand for his letter of recommendation and documents. Deforge agreed with pleasure. Then Dubrovsky went to Troekurov’s estate as a teacher under the name Deforge. Everyone at home immediately fell in love with him. Troyekurov for his courage, Masha for his attention, Sasha for his condescension and understanding, the rest for his kindness and friendliness.

Chapter 12.

Dubrovsky gives Masha a note asking for a date in the gazebo. Masha comes. Vladimir tells the girl that he fell in love with her, reveals his real name and assures that from now on her father is not his enemy. Vladimir immediately reports that he needs to hide. But she is always in his heart and can count on his help. In the evening of the same day, the police officer came to Troekurov with a demand to give him a French teacher. He also said that Spitsyn claims that Deforge and Vladimir Dubrovsky are the same person. Troekurov immediately agrees to the arrest of the teacher. But the teacher cannot be found anywhere.

Chapter 13.

Next to the Troekurov estate was the estate of the fifty-year-old Prince Vereisky. The latter arrives in the village at the beginning of summer and becomes friends with Troekurov. Immediately he notices Mashenka Troekurova and finds her very charming. He begins to court the girl.

Chapter 14.

After a certain time, Prince Vereisky proposes to Masha. Troekurov accepts this proposal and orders the unfortunate daughter to prepare for her wedding with the old man. At the same time, Masha receives a letter from Dubrovsky, in which he asks the girl on a date.

Chapter 15.

Masha agrees to come on a date and tells her beloved about her grief. Dubrovsky, who already knew about what had happened, immediately offers her help. But Masha asks him to wait, hoping that she can convince her father. Vladimir puts a ring on Masha’s finger and asks her to put this ring in a hollow oak tree in case of danger. It was through this hollow that they corresponded with each other.

Chapter 16.

Masha decides to write a letter to Vereisky asking him to abandon her. However, the prince shows this letter to Troekurov. Then the decision is made to speed up the wedding and lock Masha up.

Chapter 17.

In complete despair, Masha asks Sasha to put the ring in the hollow of the oak tree. Sasha agrees, but as he moves away from the oak tree, he notices a red-haired boy. Deciding that he wants to steal his sister’s ring, he makes a fuss. The lovers' correspondence is discovered. Since the boy did not confess to her involvement, he is simply released.

Chapter 18.

Masha is dressed in a wedding dress and brought to the church. Vereisky is already waiting for her there. They are getting married. Upon returning from church, the carriage with the newlyweds is stopped by robbers. Vereisky shoots and wounds Vladimir Dubrovsky. And yet he offers Masha her release. But she refuses help, because... she had already been married.

Chapter 19.

Pushkin describes the abode of robbers. A raid was announced on them and troops were sent to them. The battle begins. But Dubrovsky understands that the robbers are doomed. Therefore, he disbands his gang and goes into the forest himself. No one ever saw him again.

This is where A.S. Pushkin’s story “ Dubrovsky ” ends . Accordingly, the summary of the chapters is completed.

A very brief summary for a reader's diary

Master Troekurov was rich and capricious. Neighboring landowners and provincial officials were afraid of him. He was friends with his neighbor on the estate, the poor nobleman Dubrovsky.

After a quarrel between Troekurov and Dubrovsky, real enmity began. Troekurov bribed the judges and seized the Kistenevka estate from Dubrovsky. In the courtroom, Dubrovsky went crazy.

His son Vladimir left military service and returned home. The father soon died, and Vladimir, deciding to take revenge on Troekurov, set Kistenevka on fire.

Dubrovsky became a robber and terrified the landowners. But he did not touch Troekurov’s estate, since, under the guise of a French teacher, he became a tutor in the family of this landowner. Troekurov's daughter Masha and Dubrovsky fell in love with each other.

Troekurov gave his 17-year-old daughter against her will to the 50-year-old Prince Vereisky. Dubrovsky wanted to save her, but was too late. He and his people stopped the prince’s carriage and told Masha that she was free. But the girl refused to leave her husband, since she swore an oath to be faithful to him at the wedding.

Dubrovsky and the robbers returned to the forest. There was a battle with soldiers. The robbers were victorious, but the government sent a company of soldiers to catch them. Then Dubrovsky disbanded his gang and went abroad.

CHAPTER VI

“So, it’s all over,” he said to himself; “this morning I had a corner and a piece of bread. Tomorrow I will have to leave the house where I was born and where my father died, to the culprit of his death and my poverty.” And his eyes fixed motionless on the portrait of his mother. The painter presented her leaning on the railing, in a white morning dress with a scarlet rose in her hair. “And this portrait will go to the enemy of my family,” thought Vladimir, “it will be thrown into the pantry along with the broken chairs or hung in the hallway, the subject of ridicule and remarks of his hounds, and his steward will settle in her bedroom, in the room where her father died or his harem will fit. No! No! Let him not get the sad house from which he drives me out.” Vladimir clenched his teeth, terrible thoughts were born in his mind. The voices of the clerks reached him, they bossed him around, demanded this and that, and unpleasantly entertained him in the midst of his sad thoughts. Finally everything calmed down.

Vladimir opened the chests of drawers and began sorting through the deceased’s papers. They mostly consisted of business accounts and correspondence on various matters. Vladimir tore them up without reading them. Between them he came across a package with the inscription: letters from my wife

. With a strong movement of feeling, Vladimir began to work on them: they were written during the Turkish campaign and were addressed to the army from Kistenevka. She described to him her deserted life, her household chores, tenderly lamented the separation and called him home, into the arms of a good friend; in one of them she expressed to him her concern about the health of little Vladimir; in another she rejoiced at his early abilities and foresaw a happy and brilliant future for him. Vladimir became engrossed in reading and forgot everything in the world, plunging his soul into the world of family happiness, and did not notice how time passed. The wall clock struck eleven. Vladimir put the letters in his pocket, took the candle and left the office. In the hall, the clerks slept on the floor. There were glasses on the table, emptied by them, and the strong smell of rum could be heard throughout the room. Vladimir walked past them into the hallway with disgust. “The doors were locked.” Not finding the key, Vladimir returned to the hall - the key was lying on the table, Vladimir opened the door and came across a man pressed into the corner; his ax shone, and, turning to him with a candle, Vladimir recognized Arkhip the blacksmith. "Why are you here?" - he asked. “Oh, Vladimir Andreevich, it’s you,” Arkhip answered in a whisper, “God have mercy and save me!” It’s good that you walked with a candle!” Vladimir looked at him in amazement. “Why are you hiding here?” he asked the blacksmith.

“I wanted... I came... to see if everything was at home,” Arkhip answered quietly, stuttering.

- Why do you have an ax with you?

- Why the ax? But how can you walk without an axe? These clerks are such mischief-makers, just look at it...

“You’re drunk, drop the ax and go get some sleep.”

- I'm drunk? Father Vladimir Andreevich, God knows, there wasn’t a single drop in my mouth... and will the wine go to my mind, has the matter been heard, the clerks are planning to take over us, the clerks are driving our masters out of the lord’s court... Oh, they snore, damned ones; all at once, and it would end up in the water.

Dubrovsky frowned. “Listen, Arkhip,” he said, after a short silence, “this is not the case you started. The clerks are not to blame. Light the lantern and follow me.”

Arkhip took the candle from the master’s hands, found a lantern behind the stove, lit it, and both quietly left the porch and walked near the yard. The watchman began to hit the cast-iron board, the dogs began to bark. “Who is the watchman?” - asked Dubrovsky. “We, father,” answered a thin voice, “Vasilisa and Lukerya.” “Go through the courtyards,” Dubrovsky told them, “you are not needed.” “The Sabbath,” said Arkhip. “Thank you, breadwinner,” the women answered and immediately went home.

Dubrovsky went further. Two people approached him; they called out to him. Dubrovsky recognized the voice of Anton and Grisha. “Why aren’t you sleeping?” - he asked them. “Do we have time to sleep,” Anton answered. “What have we lived to see, who would have thought...”

“Hush!” interrupted Dubrovsky, “where is Egorovna?”

“In the manor’s house, in his little room,” answered Grisha.

“Go, bring her here and take all our people out of the house, so that not a single soul remains in it except the clerks, and you, Anton, harness the cart.”

Grisha left and a minute later appeared with his mother. The old woman did not undress that night; except for the clerks, no one in the house slept a wink.

“Is everyone here?” asked Dubrovsky, “is there anyone left in the house?”

“No one except the clerks,” answered Grisha.

“Give me some hay or straw here,” said Dubrovsky.

The people ran to the stable and returned carrying armfuls of hay.

- Place it under the porch. Like this. Well, guys, fire!

Arkhip opened the lantern, Dubrovsky lit a torch.

“Wait,” he said to Arkhip, “it seems that I locked the doors to the hallway in a hurry, go and unlock them quickly.”

Arkhip ran into the hallway - the doors were unlocked. Arkhip locked them, saying in a low voice: “What’s wrong, unlock it!” - and returned to Dubrovsky.

Dubrovsky brought the torch closer, the hay caught fire, the flame soared and illuminated the entire yard.

“Ahti,” Yegorovna cried pitifully, “Vladimir Andreevich, what are you doing?”

“Be silent,” said Dubrovsky. “Well, children, goodbye, I’m going wherever God leads; be happy with your new master.

“Our father, breadwinner,” the people answered, “we will die, we will not leave you, we will go with you.”

The horses were brought in; Dubrovsky got into the cart with Grisha and appointed Kistenevskaya Grove as their meeting place. Anton hit the horses, and they rode out of the yard.

The wind got stronger. In one minute the flames engulfed the entire house. Red smoke curled over the roof. Glass cracked, fell down, flaming logs began to fall, a plaintive cry and cries were heard: “We’re burning, help, help.” “How wrong,” said Arkhip, looking at the fire with an evil smile. “Arkhipushka,” Yegorovna told him, “save them, the damned, God will reward you.”

“Why not,” answered the blacksmith.

At that moment the clerks appeared at the windows, trying to break down the double frames. But then the roof collapsed with a crash, and the screams died down.

Soon all the servants poured out into the yard. Women screamed and hurried to save their junk; children jumped, admiring the fire. Sparks flew like a fiery blizzard, the huts caught fire.

“Everything’s okay now,” said Arkhip, “how’s it burning, huh?” tea, it’s nice to watch from Pokrovsky.

At that moment a new phenomenon attracted his attention; the cat ran along the roof of the burning barn, wondering where to jump; Flames surrounded her on all sides. The poor animal called for help with a pitiful meow. The boys died laughing, looking at her despair. “Why are you laughing, you devils,” the blacksmith told them angrily. “You are not afraid of God: God’s creation is perishing, and you are foolishly rejoicing,” and, placing the ladder on the fire roof, he climbed after the cat. She understood his intention and, with an air of hasty gratitude, clung to his sleeve. The half-burnt blacksmith climbed down with his loot. “Well, guys, goodbye,” he said to the embarrassed servants, “I have nothing to do here. Have fun, don’t remember me ill.”

The blacksmith left; The fire raged for some time. Finally it calmed down, and piles of coals without flames burned brightly in the darkness of the night, and the burnt residents of Kistenevka wandered around them.

Chapter-by-chapter summary (more detailed than summary)

Volume 1

Chapter 1

The rich and noble gentleman Gavrila Petrovich Troekurov lived in one of his estates, the village of Pokrovskoye. He was uneducated and was not used to limiting his ardent temper. Neighbors and provincial officials were afraid of him.

Troekurov usually spent his time in feasts and mischief, the victims of which were usually new acquaintances.

His neighbor, the poor landowner Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky, was once Troekurov’s comrade in the service, but retired and settled in his village of Kistenevka. Kirila Petrovich rose to the rank of general-in-chief, also retired and settled in his Pokrovsky estate.

Troekurov and Dubrovsky partly agreed in character, and their fates were similar: both were widowed early, both had a child. Vladimir, the son of Andrei Gavrilovich, was brought up in St. Petersburg, and the daughter of Kiril Petrovich grew up before her father’s eyes.

One day, an unexpected incident upset Troekurov’s friendship with Dubrovsky. Kirila Petrovich and his guests were getting ready to go hunting and took them to the kennel to show off his hunting dogs, of which he had more than 500. Andrei Gavrilovich was jealous of this, since he was a passionate hunter, but could only keep two hounds and one pack of greyhounds. Kirila Petrovich asked why he was frowning, maybe he didn’t like the kennel. Andrei Gavrilovich replied that the kennel is good, and it is unlikely that Troekurov’s people live better than his dogs.

One of the hounds boldly said that it would not hurt another nobleman to exchange his estate for a dog kennel at Troekurov’s. Andrei Gavrilovich turned pale. He did not go hunting, but returned to his place in Kistenevka.

Troekurov sent a servant to him 2 times with instructions to bring him, since Kiril Petrovich never went hunting without Dubrovsky. But Andrei Gavrilovich did not return, but only handed over a letter for him, in which he wrote that he would not come to Pokrovskoye until Troekurov sent him the hound Paramoshka so that he would ask for forgiveness, and it would be Dubrovsky’s will to punish or forgive him.

Kirila Petrovich became terribly angry and decided to take revenge on his former comrade.

One day Dubrovsky saw Pokrovsky men in his forest cutting down trees. He and his coachman caught two of them and taught them a lesson with rods, but kept the horses for themselves.

Troyekurov wanted to ruin Kistenevka with his servants for this, but decided to take revenge on Dubrovsky in a different way. He instructed assessor Shabashkin to ensure that Dubrovsky’s estate passed to him, Troekurov. This estate once belonged to his ancestors, and the documents proving that it was purchased by Dubrovsky burned down.

Soon Andrei Gavrilovich received an invitation from the city to prove that he rightfully owned the village of Kistenevka. This is how the court case began to drag on.

On February 9, 18... Dubrovsky received an invitation to appear in court to hear the decision on the disputed estate.

Chapter 2

In court, in the presence of Andrei Gavrilovich and Kiril Petrovich, a resolution was read out, in which Kistenevka was recognized as the property of Troekurov.

Dubrovsky suddenly shouted that he would teach the hounds who bring dogs into the church a lesson. It was a sudden fit of madness. Andrei Gavrilovich became violent, the guards barely took him out and put him in a sleigh.

Chapter 3

The attacks of madness did not recur, but the old man became weaker. Nanny Egorovna notified his son that his father was weak and that Kistenevka was being given to Troyekurov. Vladamir took a leave of absence from the service and came to his father.

Chapter 4

Troekurov became the owner of Kistenevka. But he felt sorry for his friend from his youth and came to him. At the time when Andrei Gavrilovich was paralyzed, Vladimir was informed that Troekurov had arrived. Vladimir ordered the servant to tell Troekurov to get out of here. The servant conveyed these words to Troekurov. Vladimir went out to his people and announced that his father had died.

Chapter 5

After the funeral of Andrei Gavrilovich, representatives of the court came to Kistenevka and announced to its residents that from now on they belonged to Troekurov. The villagers were outraged and wanted to tie up the officials, but they locked themselves in the house. Vladimir did not allow the courtyard people to rebel, as he hoped for the intercession of the sovereign.

Chapter 6

Vladimir, leaving the house, saw Arkhip the blacksmith hiding with an ax, who wanted to kill the officials sleeping in the house. Dubrovsky said that they were not guilty and ordered the house to be set on fire. When the flames flared up, Vladimir thought that he had closed the door to the hallway in a hurry, and told Arkhip to unlock it. He ran into the hallway and saw that the doors were open, locked them, and those in the house burned.

Chapter 7

Troekurov himself conducted an investigation at the scene of the fire. It turned out that Vladimir Dubrovsky, nanny Egorovna, her son Grigory, as well as the coachman and blacksmith had gone to an unknown place.

Troekurov wrote to the governor about this incident, and a new court case ensued, as it was suspected that Dubrovsky was to blame for the fire.

Soon robbers appeared in the vicinity. They robbed the landowners' houses and burned them, but did not touch Troekurov's estate. Everyone suspected that the leader of the gang was Dubrovsky.

Chapter 8

Troekurov's daughter Masha grew up without friends. She was fond of reading novels. She had a 9-year-old brother, Sasha, the illegitimate son of Kiril Petrovich. For him, his father sent a Frenchman from Moscow - Deforge's teacher.

One of Troekurov’s entertainments was to push his new acquaintance into the room of a hungry bear, tied with a rope to a ring embedded in the wall. The rope was so long that the bear could not reach only one corner of the room. The door was closed, and the person sometimes remained in this corner for as long as 3 hours.

The master and Deforge subjected him to such a test. He was not taken aback and shot the bear in the ear with a pistol. To find out who warned the teacher about the joke, Kirila Petrovich sent for Masha so that she could translate this question to the Frenchman. He replied that he did not know about the bear, that he always carried a pistol, since he would not tolerate an insult for which he could not challenge him to a duel because of his low rank.

This incident made a great impression on the girl. She began to respect the teacher for her courage and proud pride. Their rapprochement was facilitated by music lessons that Deforge began to give to Masha. The girl fell in love with him, without yet admitting it to herself.

Volume 2

Chapter 9

On the eve of the holiday, guests came to see Troekurov. Anton Pafnutich Spitsyn was late for lunch and explained this by the fact that he was going around the Kistenevsky forest. He said that he was afraid to meet with Dubrovsky, since at the trial he gave false testimony in favor of Troekurov.

The widow Anna Savishna Globova said that Dubrovsky dined with her last Tuesday. It turned out that she sent a clerk to the city so that he would send 2 thousand rubles to her son, a guard officer. The clerk returned and said that he had been robbed by robbers, and Dubrovsky wanted to hang him, but he took pity and let him go.

About 2 weeks later, a general came to see her, introducing himself as a colleague of her late husband. Anna Savishna told him about her grief. The general said that he had heard that Dubrovsky attacks only the rich and does not rob or kill. He asked to call the clerk. He, seeing the general, trembled. The general forced the clerk to tell how he was robbed. He had to admit that Dubrovsky demanded a letter and money from him, and then returned them, saying that he himself was a guard officer and would not offend his comrade. Anna Savishna guessed that the general was Dubrovsky. The money was found from the clerk, and the general took him with him. The next day the clerk was found in the forest, tied to a tree and beaten.

The widow's story made a great impression on Masha, who saw Dubrovsky as a romantic hero.

Chapter 10

Troekurov left all the guests to spend the night. He ordered the gates to be locked so that no one could leave. Anton Pafnutich was afraid to spend the night with Troekurov, because he was afraid that he would be given a secluded room for the night, where thieves could get into. He feared for the money he carried under his shirt in a leather bag. Anton Pafnutich asked Deforge to spend the night in his room, as he hoped for the courage of the teacher, which he showed when meeting with the bear.

At night, Anton Pafnutich woke up to the fact that the Frenchman, holding a pistol in one hand, was unfastening his bag with the other. The teacher warned him in pure Russian to remain silent, otherwise he would disappear. “I am Dubrovsky,” he added.

Chapter 11

This chapter explains how Dubrovsky entered Troekurov's house under the guise of a teacher. At one of the post stations he met a Frenchman who was going to see Troekurov, who hired him as a teacher. Having learned that no one knew this Frenchman in Troekurov’s house, Dubrovsky offered him 10 thousand to give him his passport and letter of recommendation and immediately go back to France. The stunned Frenchman agreed. Dubrovsky took his word of honor that he would not tell anyone about their deal.

So Dubrovsky settled in Troekurov’s house. Spending the night in the same room with Anton Pafnutich, whom he considered one of the culprits of his misfortune, Dubrovsky decided to take possession of the bag of money that he knew about.

In the morning, Anton Pafnutich was the last to show up for tea. He was pale, looked at the teacher with horror, quickly bowed and left.

Chapter 12

Marya Kirilovna was getting more and more used to Deforge. One day he gave her a note in which he asked to be at the gazebo at 7 o’clock. When Masha arrived, the teacher admitted to her that he was not Deforge, but Dubrovsky, whom her father kicked out of his father’s house. Dubrovsky said that he forgave him, and this was due to Masha. It turned out that when Dubrovsky left Kistenevka, he walked around Troekurov’s house, looking for where he would need to set it on fire. But then he saw Masha and fell in love with her.

When the opportunity presented itself to live in Troekurov’s house, the young man took advantage of it and these 3 weeks were days of happiness for him.

He told Masha that he had received news after which he could not stay here, and asked her to contact him if she ever needed help. The girl cried and promised to do it.

Arriving home, she found the police officer there, who assured Troekurov that Deforge was Dubrovsky. It turned out that Anton Pafnutich complained that he had been robbed by Deforge, who turned out to be Dubrovsky.

The teacher could not be found because someone warned him.

Chapter 13

At the beginning of the next summer, Troekurov’s wealthy neighbor, Prince Vereisky, an old red tape worker, returned from abroad to his Arbatovo estate. After visiting a neighbor, the prince fell in love with his daughter and invited them to come visit him. When they arrived, Vereisky tried to amaze them with his art gallery, a wonderful dinner, brass music and fireworks.

Chapter 14

When Marya Kirilovna was embroidering one day, her hand reached out through the window and placed a letter in front of the girl. At this time, Marya Kirilovna was called to her father, and she hid the letter.

Prince Vereisky was in his father’s office, and Troekurov announced to his daughter that the prince was wooing her. Vereisky asked if she agreed. Masha began to cry, and her father told her to go away to dry her tears and return to them cheerfully.

Masha ran to her room and read the letter in which Dubrovsky asked her to come to her previous place at 10 o’clock.

Chapter 15

In the evening, they had a date near the gazebo. Vladimir said that he knew everything and offered to save her from the prince. She forbade him to do this and said that she hoped to persuade her father not to give her to the prince.

Dubrovsky put a ring on Masha’s finger and asked her to lower it into the hollow of the oak tree that grew near the gazebo if she needed help.

Chapter 16

Masha wrote a letter to the prince in which she begged him to abandon his intention to marry her. He showed the letter to Troekurov. Kirila Petrovich told his daughter that the wedding would take place the day after tomorrow. In vain Masha tried to persuade her father not to force her to marry the prince, but he was inexorable.

Then Masha said that Vladimir Dubrovsky would protect her. Her father locked her in the room, saying that she would not come out before the wedding.

Chapter 17

In the morning, her little brother Sasha came to the window of Masha’s room and asked if she needed anything. Marya Kirilovna asked him to put the ring in the hollow of the oak tree.

Sasha fulfilled the order, but saw that the red-haired boy rushed to the oak tree and pulled out the ring from the hollow. The boys began to fight, Sasha shouted that there were thieves here, the gardener caught the thief and brought him to the master. The father managed to extract from Sasha what happened. Troekurov, having learned that the red-haired boy considered himself a servant of the Dubrovsky gentlemen, realized that Masha was calling Dubrovsky for help.

He decided to take this opportunity to help the authorities catch Dubrovsky. Just then the police officer came to him, with whose help he could capture Dubrovsky. After a conversation with Troekurov, the police officer released the boy, who did not admit that his master had sent him to the oak tree.

Chapter 18

The wedding of Marya Kirilovna and Prince Vereisky took place. Until the very last moment the girl waited for Dubrovsky. When in the church the priest asked if she agreed to be the prince’s wife, Masha froze, and the priest, without waiting for an answer, married her to the prince.

The young people went to Arbatovo. Suddenly the carriage was surrounded by armed people, and a man in a half mask told Marya Kirilovna that she was free, the prince shouted: “Who are you?..” “This is Dubrovsky,” said the princess. The prince shot and wounded Dubrovsky in the shoulder. The robbers wanted to kill the prince, but their leader shouted not to touch him.

The princess said that she was waiting for Dubrovsky until the last minute, but now it is too late, since she is married to Prince Vereisky.

Chapter 19

In a robber's den, which was in a dense forest, a wounded Dubrovsky lay in a hut. Suddenly there was alarm in the fortification - a sign was received that they were looking for them. The watchmen reported that there were soldiers in the forest. In the battle with them, the robbers won.

Then the government sent a company of soldiers to capture Dubrovsky. Having caught several people from his gang, they learned that Dubrovsky had left them forever and advised them to get somewhere far away from here and work honestly there.

Since then, the robberies and fires have stopped. Information was received that Dubrovsky had gone abroad.

A series of lessons based on the novel by A. S. Pushkin “Dubrovsky” in the 6th grade.

A series of lessons was prepared by the teacher of Russian language and literature of the Municipal Educational Institution “Secondary School No. 9” in Blagodarny Lutsenko T.V.

A series of lessons based on the novel by A. S. Pushkin “Dubrovsky” in the 6th grade.

Pushkin is the sun of Russian culture. This idea is by no means new. There is not a single genre in Russian literature where Pushkin did not leave his mark. Years and centuries pass, and Russian culture continues to develop ideas, images, themes that were once touched upon by him. Pushkin's heroes, and along with them the writer himself, conduct their continuous dialogue with the reader, reflecting on good and evil, honor and dishonor, mercy and cruelty. The task of a language teacher is to teach children to hear these voices, to make the world of literature alive and tangible.

Lesson 1. Topic: “Pictures of the life of the Russian nobility.

Dubrovsky and Troekurov."

Lesson objectives: 1) get acquainted with the content of the work; 2) clarify the motivation for the heroes’ actions; 3) developing the skill of comparative analysis of characters’ images, expressive reading; 4) development of the ability to reason and defend one’s own opinion; 5) activation of cognitive activity, stimulation of mental activity; 6) cultivate a culture of coherent speech; 7) education of tolerance, communication skills.

During the classes.

1. Teacher's opening speech.

After Belkin's Tales, in October 1832, A. S. Pushkin began writing a novel in three parts, which remained unfinished and was published only after his death. It was "Dubrovsky", named after the main character. There is no title in the manuscript; on the first page it simply says: “Volume one. Chapter first". Pushkin wrote only two volumes. As the marks in the manuscript show, the second volume was completed in February 1833. Pushkin based the novel on a case that was quite typical for relations between landowners and for the judicial arbitrariness that existed at that time. Using his influence, a strong and rich landowner could always oppress a poor neighbor and even take away his property that legally belonged to him.

Pushkin was told about one such case by his friend V.P. Nashchokin, who knew a certain landowner Ostrovsky, who was ruined by his noble neighbor, lost his estate and, together with his peasants, organized a bandit gang. The writer cared about the realistic truthfulness of his novel, about bringing it closer to true reality.

N. G. Chernyshevsky wrote about this novel: “It is difficult to find in Russian literature a more accurate and vivid picture as the description of the life and habits of a big gentleman of old times at the beginning of the novel “Dubrovsky.”

II . Conversation on the novel.

—

Who do we meet in Chapter 1?

(With Kirila Petrovich Troekurov and Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky).

-Who can be called “the great gentleman of the old days”?

(Kiril Petrovich Troekurov).

- Let's turn to the text. What does the author say about the similarities and differences between these heroes?

Notebook entries.

Similarities

Differences

Troekurov

Peers, born in the same class, brought up in the same way, were
partly similar in character and inclinations
“He showed the vices of an uneducated person,” “he was accustomed to freeing himself from all the impulses of his ardent disposition and all the ideas of a rather limited mind,” “arrogant... with people of the highest rank.” , “he treated peasants and servants strictly and capriciously.”

Dubrovsky

“impatience and decisiveness of character”, “poor and independent”, proud - he refused Troekurov’s proposal to marry Masha and Vladimir.

- Let's remember this word partly

.
Let's find their author's characteristics in the text. (Troekurov: “He showed the vices of an uneducated person,” “he was used to giving free rein to all the impulses of his ardent disposition and all the ideas of a rather limited mind,” “arrogant ... with people of the highest rank,” “he treated peasants and servants strictly and capriciously.”
Dubrovsky: “ impatience and decisive character”, “poor and independent”, proud - refused Troekurov’s proposal to marry Masha and Vladimir).

-Let's draw conclusions. What is more: similarities or differences in the characters of these heroes?

(Differences).

-In Russian literature we often encounter meaningful and meaningful names of heroes. Let's look into the “Dictionary of Russian Personal Names” (an individual task is given to one of the students in advance)

.

(Cyril (gr.) - lord, lord, ruler; Peter (gr.) - rock, cliff, stone; Andrei (gr.) - courageous, brave; Gabriel (ancient Hebrew) - strong man, man of God or fortress).

-Can the names of Pushkin’s heroes be considered significant? Now let's get back to the novel. What is the fate of these heroes? What does Pushkin say about this?

(“ In some respects
, their fate was the same: both married for love, both were soon widowed”).
-And again the reservation: “in some respects”

. Let's try to figure it out. What do we learn from the novel about how the characters relate to love, family, and children? What is the relationship between Kiril Petrovich and Masha?

(With his daughter, he is wayward, loves madly, caters to her whims and at the same time is harsh and cruel. “I could never achieve her frankness. She got used to hiding her feelings and thoughts from him.”)

-Father and daughter do not know and do not understand each other, there is no harmony of peace in this family, Kirila Petrovich is not involved in raising his daughter.

The same chapter tells about Sasha, Masha’s brother, whom he recognized as his son, although “many barefoot children, like two peas in a pod like Kiril Petrovich, ran in front of his windows and were considered servants.” How does this characterize Troekurov?

(Immoral, cruel person, incapable of pure, noble feelings).

-A similar theme, idea, and motives will be heard in I. A. Bunin’s story “Sukhodol,” whose work will be studied in high school (students write in the margins of their notebooks by I. A. Bunin “Sukhodol,” a similar method of advanced learning helps students thoughtfully and meaningfully enter the world of literature, compare and generalize the knowledge acquired over seven years of study).

-So, although Kirila Petrovich married for love, having become a widow, he was comforted too quickly. How did Andrei Gavrilovich cope with the loss of his wife? Let us turn to chapter 6, where Pushkin talks about the grief of young Dubrovsky. Pushkin is a master of details, they help reveal the hero’s inner world, understand his state, what details does the author draw our attention to?

(In the Dubrovskys’ house there hangs a portrait of Andrei Gavrilovich’s wife; the letters that were written by her during the Turkish campaign are kept. The memory of love is sacredly preserved here).

-What feelings does Vladimir experience when reading his mother’s letters?

(Vladimir became engrossed in reading and forgot everything in the world, plunging his soul into the world of family happiness).

-The word “family” is noteworthy. Where else in the novel have you come across this word?

(chapter 3) (He lost his mother from an early age and, almost without knowing his father, was brought to St. Petersburg in the eighth year of his age - for all that, he was romantically attached to him and even more so loved
family life).
-Are these families similar?

(The author’s reservation – “in some respects” – is correct, the fates are partly similar, but the families are different. The Dubrovskys in the full sense of the word can be called a family, they understand each other, love, they have shrines that they protect).

III.
Homework.

1. Finish reading the novel “Dubrovsky”; 2) complete the task in groups: 1st group: consider the relationship between landowners and servants; Group 2: trace the emergence and development of a quarrel (the beginning of the story); Group 3: characterize Vladimir Dubrovsky; what is the role of landscape in the novel; Group 4: trace the development of the plot and plot of the novel; Group 5: what is the story “Dubrovsky” about (theme, issues)? Why was the story left unfinished?

Lessons 2-3. Topic: “Moral issues of the novel “Dubrovsky”.

Lesson objectives:

1) develop skills in working with the text of a large work using pre-announced questions; 2) develop the ability to highlight the main idea, draw conclusions, comparing the described events with history; 3) improve the skills of drawing up a text plan, the skills of textual analysis of a work; 4) work on expressive reading; 5) cultivate a culture of coherent speech; 6) improve the ability to express one’s opinion.

Progress of lessons.

In the next two lessons the class works in groups.

Work
group
I. -How does the author characterize Troekurov’s servants?

(chapter 1) (“...they were devoted to him: they were vain of the wealth and glory of their master and, in turn, allowed themselves a lot in relation to their neighbors, hoping for his strong patronage”).

-How do Kiril Petrovich’s people behave after the owner’s quarrel with Dubrovsky?

(Pokrovsky men steal timber from Andrei Gavrilovich).

-From here we can conclude that the owner and his slaves are similar: vain, rude and capricious. What new do we learn about the relationship between the Dubrovsky gentlemen and their servants from the conversation between Vladimir Dubrovsky and the coachman Anton?

(l. 3) (“... he (Troekurov) has a bad time with his own people, but if they get strangers, he will rip off not only the skin, but also the meat. No, God bless Andrei Gavrilovich, and if God takes him away, So we don’t need anyone but you, our breadwinner. Don’t give us away, and we’ll marry you”).

In the same chapter, when the old man Dubrovsky meets his son, Orina Egorovna scolds the master. Notice how she, a serf, addresses him: “Why are you

“I got out of bed,” Yegorovna told him, “you can’t stand on your feet, but you strive to go where people go.” If we omit the author's words and leave only direct speech, who do you think could say such words?

(Only a very close person, a loving person who treats Andrei Gavrilovich like a mother).

-This means that good, human relations reign between masters and servants; let us remember the word “family” and use it when talking about these relationships. We can observe a similar relationship between master and servant in A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter” between Petrusha Grinev and Savelich (students make notes in the margins of their notebooks “A. S. Pushkin “The Captain’s Daughter” Pyotr Grinev and Savelich”)

Work
II .
-What caused the quarrel between the landowners? What is Andrei Gavrilovich’s state of mind when inspecting the kennel? Pay attention to the expression of the hero’s internal experiences and find the author’s assessments of this state.

(chapter 10) (“Dubrovsky was silent and frowned... he could not resist some envy at the sight of this magnificent establishment...”, “answered sternly,” “turned pale and did not say a word”).

-What does Dubrovsky answer to Kiril Petrovich’s question?

(“...the kennel is wonderful, it’s unlikely that your people will live as well as your dogs”).

-What, in your opinion, caused Dubrovsky’s caustic remark?

(Envy).

-What is “envy”? Let's turn to V.I. Dahl's dictionary: “Envy is annoyance at someone else's goods or blessings.” And in that dictionary entry there is a saying: “Fever and envy are Herod’s sisters.” But Andrei Gavrilovich’s caustic remark was not only caused by envy; the whole of Dubrovsky was visible in him, direct, independent, courageous.

-Did he offend Troekurov with his words?

(No, there was no reaction.)

-Could he have offended his “vain” slaves?

(It could. And immediately came the answer of the huntsman Paramoshka: “... it would not be bad for another nobleman to exchange the estate for any local kennel”).

-The serf answered the nobleman not just as an equal, but boldly. Think about it: was it only Paramoshka’s answer that offended Andrei Gavrilovich?

(Not only that, immediately after the huntsman’s words there was laughter; everyone laughed: Troekurov, his guests, and, apparently, the servants).

-How does Troekurov behave in this situation?

(He walked around the kennel, laughed loudly at the “impudent remark” of his servant. He did not attach any importance to the fact that his Paramoshka had insulted and humiliated Andrei Gavrilovich).

-Dubrovsky was not just humiliated, insulted, his noble honor was hurt, but we told you that Dubrovsky is a proud and independent man. Does Troekurov take this incident to heart?

(No, he didn’t even notice that Dubrovsky had left; he simply didn’t think about what was in Dubrovsky’s soul).

-How will events develop further?

(Finally noticing the absence of Dubrovsky, Troekurov, who “has never gone hunting without Dubrovsky, an experienced and subtle connoisseur of canine virtues and an infallible resolver of all kinds of hunting disputes,” sends for him twice, but receives a refusal and a letter demanding that Paramoshka be handed over to him for punishment).

— Let us note that Troekurov did not ask Dubrovsky to return. He “ordered to immediately catch up with him and turn him back without fail.”

Dubrovsky’s refusal angered Troekurov, who was accustomed to general submission. Dubrovsky's letter angered him even more. Troekurov considered himself offended that someone dared to demand an apology from him. How does Troekurov feel while hunting?

(The hunt was not a success, the dinner was not a success, Kirila Petrovich killed the cook, scolded the guests).

-A. S. Pushkin very subtly conveys the psychological state of the hero. Let's think about the questions: what would happen if the hunt was a success and the dinner was a success? What would an eccentric, wayward person do then? Would you go through the fields of Dubrovsky? Or would you come to him to make peace with him?

How did the author show Troekurov after the hunt?

(“Andrei Gavrilovich did not return to Pokrovskoye - Kirila Petrovich was bored without him, and his annoyance poured out loudly in the most offensive expressions, which, thanks to the zeal of the local nobles, reached Dubrovsky, corrected and supplemented”).

-Who helped the enmity flare up even more?

(The neighbors, who reported everything in a distorted form, gossip also played a role).

-How did Troekurov decide to take revenge on Dubrovsky for punishing the Pokrovsky men who stole timber from the Kistenev grove?

(Take away the estate).

Retelling of the scenes “Troekurov and Shabashkin”, “The Court”.

-What did Troekurov want to achieve by taking Kistenevka from Dubrovsky?

(Break the pride of Andrei Gavrilovich).

-Did he succeed? Why was his celebration poisoned?

(He did not expect such an outcome - Dubrovsky's madness).

-What did we learn about Kiril Petrovich’s condition from chapter 4?

(His conscience grumbled, he was not selfish, victory did not please his heart).

-Why, when describing the quarrel between the landowners, does Pushkin pay so much attention to Troekurov? (Kirila Petrovich is an unbalanced, power-hungry, quick-tempered, but easy-going nature, which is why Pushkin describes in such detail all the movements of the soul, the actions of this hero; Dubrovsky is proud and independent, he could never forgive insults, so he is shown statically. Pushkin with this episode once again showed the correctness of the characterization of the characters that he gave at the beginning of the novel).

Work
III .
-Which character traits of Vladimir Dubrovsky appear during his life in St. Petersburg, and which in Kistenevka?

(Like all young people of the noble class, he leads a secular lifestyle, thinks little about the future. The death of his father forced him to grow up. When Troekurov, indirectly responsible for the death of Andrei Gavrilovich, arrived in Kistenevka, Vladimir behaved independently and decisively, which greatly reminded him of the elder Dubrovsky ).

-For what purpose does the author give a description of the autumn landscape in the fifth chapter?

(Pushkin wants to show how Vladimir has matured; the landscape suggests philosophical reflection. Vladimir enters the grove at a moment when he was possessed by a feeling of spiritual impassability, loneliness in which he found himself after the death of his father. The landscape is presented in inextricable connection with the feelings and thoughts of the hero about the transience of life: life flows, and the stream flows. It is no coincidence that the autumn landscape is a symbol of withering and dying of life. The death of the father and autumn falling leaves symbolize the end of life. We will find such an allegorical comparison when describing the landscape in Leo Tolstoy) ( In the margins of the notebook, students write down: L. Tolstoy “War and Peace”).

-How did Vladimir become a robber? What prompted him to burn down his homestead?

(chapter 6) (The portrait of his mother, her letters - all this is sacred and dear to Vladimir, like his father; he could not allow the “enemy of his family” to violate this).

-What is Dubrovsky like as a leader of robbers? Does Pushkin show how Vladimir leads the rebels?

(No).

-What episodes of Dubrovsky’s robber life does the reader learn about and from whom?

(From Anna Savishna Globova. He appears to her as a general who returns the money stolen by her clerk).

-In the role of whom does Dubrovsky appear in Troekurov’s house?

(In the role of teacher Deforge, who managed to force himself to be respected, courageous and decisive, and was not afraid to be alone with an angry bear).

-When will we find out that Deforge is Vladimir Dubrovsky?

(In the 10th chapter, when he took revenge on Anton Pafnutich for perjury in favor of Troekurov).

Work of
IV .
-Why did Pushkin abandon a sequential presentation of events in chapters 8-10?

(To intrigue the reader).

-Let’s compare how the events are presented in the novel and how “it actually happened.”

Notebook entries.

In the novel:
Ch.
8 – Deforge and the bear;
Ch.
9 – lunch at Troekurov’s;
Ch.
10 – Spitsyn and Deforge;
Ch.
11 – Dubrovsky’s meeting with Deforge.

Chronological sequence: Dubrovsky’s meeting with Deforge - Ch. eleven;

Deforge and the Bear -
Ch.
8 ;
lunch at Troekurov's - ch.
9 ;
Spitsyn and Deforge - Ch.
10 .

Sometimes writers break the sequence of events and do it on purpose, for different reasons.

Until now, speaking about the work, about the events described in it, we have used such a term as plot

.
Today we will get acquainted with a new term - fabula
. How are they different? The “Concise Dictionary of Literary Terms,” ed., will help us. L. I. Timofeeva and S. V. Turaev" (M., 1978): "Fabula - from Lat. legend, story, tradition. Can be used in the same sense as plot. Sometimes the plot is understood as the chronological sequence of events, and the plot is the order in which they are narrated.” So, the story of the nobleman Ostrovsky, told to Pushkin by his friend P.V. Nashchokin, was the plot on the basis of which the plot of the story “Dubrovsky” was built. The plot, therefore, is a means of achieving the author's goal.

We will also find a discrepancy between the plot and the plot in M. Yu. Lermontov’s novel “A Hero of Our Time” (marginal note in the notebook: M. Yu. Lermontov “A Hero of Our Time”)

.

In the 11th chapter, A. S. Pushkin talks about the meeting at the post station of Vladimir and the Frenchman Deforge. We have already read the story “The Station Agent”. Who does the caretaker from the story “Dubrovsky” remind you of: Samson Vyrin or the hero of P. Vyazemsky’s poem “Station”, the words from which are taken as the epigraph to the story “Station Warden”: “Collegiate registrar, postal station dictator”?

V. -Why did Vladimir Dubrovsky refuse revenge?

(chapter 12) (“I forgave him... I realized that the house where you live
is sacred , that not a single creature connected with you by blood ties is subject to my curse”).
-How do you understand the words: “But it’s time to introduce the reader to the real hero of our story” (chapter 3) and the words from chapter. 8: “The reader has probably already guessed that the daughter of Kiril Petrovich... is the heroine of our story”?

(A.S. Pushkin called Vladimir and Masha the real heroes of the story, which means this story is about love).

-Did Vladimir love Masha? If you loved, then when did this feeling arise?

(Ch. 3, 12, 15).

-How does Masha feel about Dubrovsky?

(Ch. 8, 12, 14) (Ch. 8: “Masha fell in love with him”; Chapter 12: “Perhaps she was not yet in love, but at the first accidental obstacle or sudden persecution of fate, the flame of passion should have flared up in her heart"; chapter 14: "She ran to her room, locked herself and gave vent to her tears, imagining herself as the wife of an old prince; he suddenly seemed disgusting and hateful to her... marriage frightened her like a scaffold, like a grave... "No, no, she repeated in despair, “it’s better to die, it’s better to go to a monastery, it’s better to marry Dubrovsky”).

Let's pay attention to this row: die - monastery - for Dubrovsky

. Is this how they think about a loved one?

And another quote from chapter 16: “The main thing for her is to get rid of the hated marriage; the fate of the robber’s wife seemed like paradise to her in comparison with the lot destined for her.”

Marriage to Prince Vereisky for Masha is tantamount to a scaffold, a grave; in a hopeless situation, she chooses the lesser of two evils - she decides to turn to Dubrovsky for help. Why does Masha refuse Vladimir’s proposal after the wedding? Is it only because (as we understand) he doesn’t have any feelings for him?

(Ch. 18) (“I took an oath.” A sense of duty and honor takes over) (notebook entry in the margins: A. S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”: Tatiana and Onegin).

-Before we answer the last question, find in the text of Chapter 18 the beginning of the episode when Vladimir appears before Vereisky and Masha.

(Reading from the words: “Suddenly there were screams of pursuit...”).

-Why does Pushkin call Vladimir a “masked robber”?

(He appears in front of Masha in a half mask, this is another role, the role of a noble savior).

-In which work by A.S. Pushkin did we encounter the motif of masquerade, dressing up?

(In the story “The Young Lady-Peasant”).

-Throughout the entire novel, no matter what role Vladimir Dubrovsky plays, he is always generous, noble, courageous, and faithful to the principles of honor.

-Work on the novel was not completed by A.S. Pushkin. If part I was written in two weeks, then the remaining chapters were written at intervals of 7-10 days, and on January 15, 1833, Alexander Sergeevich interrupted work on the story. In the writer’s drafts, the outline of Part III was preserved: “The Life of M.K. The Death of Prince. Ver. Widow. Englishman. Date..." Why didn't Pushkin leave his hero at the head of the rebellious peasants? Why does Dubrovsky part with his accomplices?

(Pushkin's hero could only act as an ataman of robbers, as long as this made sense: first - revenge for the insult and death of his father, then - noble service to all those unjustly offended and deceived (Anna Savishna Globova), and of course - saving his beloved girl from the hated marriage).

-Let's turn again to the “Dictionary of Russian Personal Names.” What does the name Vladimir mean? (Vladimir – owner of the world).

-And again, the meaning of the name helps us understand the character and actions of the hero. Vladimir Dubrovsky, by his character and principles, does not fit into the circle of robbers. Pushkin does not show his hero as a like-minded person of the rebellious peasants. And after reading the story “The Captain's Daughter”, we will understand Pushkin’s attitude towards rebellion.

The nobility, honesty and generosity of the nobleman Dubrovsky are incompatible with the environment in which he finds himself and with the role that has fallen to his lot.

Summarizing.

When you finish reading the last pages of the story, you are overwhelmed by a whole storm of a wide variety of feelings. First of all, you are surprised that the story ended so suddenly, and we have absolutely no idea how the main character’s life turned out. It seems that Pushkin simply put the manuscript aside, saying the main thing that he wanted to tell us. The story was indeed considered unfinished and had no title; the work was named after the main character in preparation for the posthumous publication of Pushkin’s works (the story was not published during the poet’s lifetime). Think about how the future fate of the heroes could have developed.

In Maykov's collection of Pushkin's drafts, several drafts of the last, third volume of the novel have been preserved. Transcript of a later version:

(Prince Vereisky) - Matchmaking - dating. The letter was intercepted. Wedding, departure. Team, battle. A loose gang - Life of Marya Kirillovna - Death of Prince Vereisky - Widow. Englishman - Players. Date - Police Chief - Denouement

.

The text is based on the book “From the Papers of Pushkin”.

Researchers interpret Pushkin's plan this way: after Vereisky's death, Dubrovsky returns to Russia to reunite with Marya. Perhaps he is pretending to be English. However, Dubrovsky receives a denunciation related to his robbery, which is followed by the intervention of the police chief.
