What events are described in the story? ball at the governor's marshal Punishment scene
“Like many other works of late Tolstoy, the story “After the Ball” is built on the principle of artistic contrast: a bright, colorful picture of a merry ball in a noble assembly is replaced by a harsh scene of painful punishment of a defenseless soldier who, to the dry crackle of drums, is driven along the parade ground through the ranks”
Colonel at the ball Colonel at the ball L.N. Tolstoy shows how a person respected by all. “Varenka’s father was a very handsome, stately, tall and fresh old man ... He was beautifully built, with a wide, poorly decorated, protruding chest, strong shoulders and long, slender legs,” Ivan Vasilyevich describes the colonel.
Illustration for the story "After the Ball"
The ball is wonderful, the hall is beautiful, the buffet is magnificent An execution ball Something big, black, hard, bad music Quadrilles, waltzes, polka sounds An unpleasant, screeching melody good-natured old man, rich hospitable man, his good-natured wife hosts of the ball Many black people, in black in uniform, in a white dress, in white gloves, in white shoes, she has a radiant flushed face and affectionate sweet eyes Varenka is punished Bare to the waist, his back is something motley, wet, red, unnatural , with a white mustache, white sideburns, with sparkling eyes, Colonel Tall military man, walked with a firm trembling gait Satisfied, happy, blessed, kind, Ivan Vasilyevich Was ashamed, lowered his eyes, his heart was almost physical, reaching nausea, melancholy
Draft version Final version “I don't see her much anymore. And my love ended in nothing, and I entered the service, and tried to develop in myself such a consciousness of my duty - I called it that - like a colonel, and partly achieved this. And only in old age did I now understand the horror of what I saw and what I myself did. “Well, do you think that I then decided that what I saw was a bad thing? Not at all. If this was done with such confidence and was recognized by everyone as necessary, then, therefore, they knew something that I did not know, ”I thought and tried to find out. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find out. And without knowing, I could not enter military service, as he wanted before, and not only didn’t serve in the military, but he didn’t serve anywhere and, as you see, was no good ”
History of creation
The story "After the Ball" was written in 1903, published after the death of the writer in 1911. The story is based on a real event, which Tolstoy learned about when he was a student living with his brothers in Kazan. His brother Sergei Nikolaevich fell in love with the daughter of the local military commander L.P. Koreysha and was going to marry her. But after Sergei Nikolaevich saw the cruel punishment commanded by the father of his beloved girl, he experienced a strong shock. He stopped visiting Koreish's house and gave up the idea of marriage. This story lived so firmly in Tolstoy's memory that many years later he described it in the story "After the Ball." The writer thought about the title of the story. There were several options: “The Story of the Ball and Through the Line”, “Daughter and Father”, etc. As a result, the story was called “After the Ball”.
The writer was concerned about the problem: man and environment, the influence of circumstances on human behavior. Can a person manage himself or is it all about the environment and circumstances.
Genus, genre, creative method
"After the ball" - prose work; written in the genre of the story, since the center of the story is one significant event from the life of the hero (shock from what he saw after the ball), and the text is small in volume. It must be said that in his later years Tolstoy showed a special interest in the genre of the story.
The story depicts two eras: the 40s of the XIX century, the reign of Nicholas and the time of the creation of the story. The writer restores the past to show that nothing has changed in the present either. He opposes violence and oppression, against inhuman treatment of people. The story "After the Ball", like all the work of JI.H. Tolstoy is associated with realism in Russian literature.
Subject
Tolstoy reveals in the story “After the Ball” one of the bleak aspects of the life of Nikolaev Russia - the position of the tsarist soldier: twenty-five years of service, senseless drill, complete disenfranchisement of soldiers, being carried through the ranks as punishment. However, the main problem in the story is related to moral issues: what forms a person - social conditions or chance. A single incident quickly changes separate life(“The whole life has changed from one night, or rather morning,” says the hero). In the center of the image in the story is the thought of a person who is able to immediately discard class prejudices.
Idea
The idea of the story is revealed with the help of a certain system of images and composition. The main characters are Ivan Vasilyevich and the colonel, the father of the girl the narrator was in love with, through whose images the main problem is solved. The author shows that the society and its structure, and not the case, influence the personality.
In the image of Colonel Tolstoy exposes objective social conditions that distort the nature of a person, instilling in him false concepts of duty.
The ideological content is revealed through the image of the evolution of the narrator's inner feeling, his sense of the world. The writer makes you think about the problem of human responsibility for the environment. It is the consciousness of this responsibility for the life of society that distinguishes Ivan Vasilyevich. Youth from rich family, impressionable and enthusiastic, faced with a terrible injustice, dramatically changed his life path giving up any career. “I was so ashamed that, not knowing where to look, as if I had been caught in the most shameful act, I lowered my eyes and hurried to go home.” He devoted his life to helping other people: “Tell me better: no matter how many people are good for nothing, if you weren’t there.”
In the story JI.H. Tolstoy, everything is contrasted, everything is shown according to the principle of antithesis: a description of a brilliant ball and a terrible punishment on the field; the situation in the first and second parts; graceful charming Varenka and the figure of a Tatar with his terrible, unnatural back; Varenka's father at the ball, who evoked enthusiastic tenderness in Ivan Vasilievich, and he is also a vicious, formidable old man, demanding that the soldiers obey orders. The study of the general construction of the story becomes a means of revealing its ideological content.
The nature of the conflict
The basis of the conflict of this story is laid, on the one hand, in the image of the two-faced colonel, on the other hand, in the disappointment of Ivan Vasilyevich.
The colonel was a very handsome, stately, tall and fresh old man. Affectionate, unhurried speech emphasized his aristocratic essence and aroused even more admiration. Varenka's father was so sweet and amiable that he won over everyone, including the protagonist of the story. After the ball, in the scene of the punishment of the soldier, not a single sweet, good-natured line remained on the face of the colonel. There was nothing left of the person who was at the ball, but a new one, formidable and cruel, appeared. Only one angry voice of Peter Vladislavovich inspired fear. Ivan Vasilievich describes the punishment of a soldier in this way: “And I saw how he with a strong hand in a suede glove, he beat a frightened, short, weak soldier in the face because he did not lower his stick hard enough on the red back of the Tatar. Ivan Vasilievich cannot love just one person, he must certainly love the whole world, understand and accept it as a whole. Therefore, along with love for Varenka, the hero also loves her father, admires him. When he encounters cruelty and injustice in this world, his whole sense of harmony, the integrity of the world collapses, and he prefers not to love in any way than to love partially. I am not free to change the world, to defeat evil, but I and only I am free to agree or disagree to participate in this evil - this is the logic of the hero's reasoning. And Ivan Vasilievich deliberately refuses his love.
Main heroes
The main characters of the story are the young man Ivan Vasilyevich, who is in love with Varenka, and the girl's father, Colonel Pyotr Vladislavovich.
The colonel, a handsome and strong man of about fifty, an attentive and caring father who wears homemade boots to dress and take out his beloved daughter, the Colonel is sincere both at the ball, when he dances with his beloved daughter, and after the ball, when, without reasoning, like a zealous Nicholas a campaigner, drives a fugitive soldier through the ranks. He undoubtedly believes in the need to punish those who have crossed the law. It is this sincerity of the colonel in various life situations most of all confounds Ivan Vasilyevich. How to understand someone who is sincerely kind in one situation and sincerely angry in another? “Obviously, he knows something that I don’t know ... If I knew what he knows, I would understand what I saw, and it would not torment me.” Ivan Vasilyevich felt that society was to blame for this contradiction: "If this was done with such confidence and recognized by everyone as necessary, then, therefore, they knew something that I did not know."
Ivan Vasilievich, a modest and decent young man, shocked by the scene of the beating of soldiers, is unable to understand why this is possible, why there are orders that sticks are needed to protect. The shock experienced by Ivan Vasilyevich turned his ideas about class morality upside down: he began to understand the Tatar's plea for mercy, compassion and anger, sounding in the words of a blacksmith; without realizing it, he shares the highest human laws of morality.
Plot and composition
The plot of the story is uncomplicated. Ivan Vasilyevich, convinced that the environment does not affect a person’s way of thinking, but the whole thing is in the case, tells the story of his youthful love for the beautiful Varenka B. At the ball, the hero meets Varenka’s father, a very handsome, stately, tall and “fresh old man” with ruddy face and luxurious mustache colonel. The owners persuade him to dance the mazurka with his daughter. During the dance, the couple attracts everyone's attention. After the mazurka, the father brings Varenka to Ivan Vasilyevich, and the young people spend the rest of the evening together.
Ivan Vasilievich returns home in the morning, but cannot fall asleep and sets off to wander around the city in the direction of Varenka's house. From afar, he hears the sounds of a flute and a drum, which endlessly repeat the same shrill melody. On the field in front of B.'s house, he sees how some Tatar soldiers are driven through the ranks for escaping. Varenka's father, a handsome, stately colonel B. Tatarin, is in command of the execution, begging the soldiers to "have mercy", but the colonel strictly ensures that the soldiers do not give him the slightest indulgence. One of the soldiers "rubs". B. hits him in the face. Ivan Vasilyevich sees the back of the Tatar, red, motley, wet with blood, and is horrified. Noticing Ivan Vasilievich, B. pretends to be unfamiliar with him and turns away.
Ivan Vasilyevich thinks that the colonel is probably right, since everyone admits that he is acting normally. However, he cannot understand the reasons that forced B. to beat a man severely, and not understanding, he decides not to enter the military service. His love is waning. So one incident changed his life and views.
The whole story is the events of one night, which the hero remembers many years later. The composition of the story is clear and precise, it logically distinguishes four parts: a large dialogue at the beginning of the story, leading to the story of the ball; ball scene; the execution scene and the final remark.
“After the Ball” is built as a “story within a story”: it begins with the fact that the venerable, who has seen a lot in life and, as the author adds, a sincere and truthful person - Ivan Vasilyevich, in a conversation with friends, claims that a person’s life does not develop one way or another at all. from the influence of the environment, but because of the case, and as proof of this he cites the case, as he himself admits, that changed his life. This is actually a story, the heroes of which are Varenka B., her father and Ivan Vasilyevich himself. Thus, from the dialogue of the narrator and his friends at the very beginning of the story, we learn that the episode in question had great value In human life. The form of the oral story gives the events a special realism. The mention of the sincerity of the narrator serves the same purpose. He talks about what happened to him in his youth; this narrative is given a certain “flavor of antiquity”, as well as the mention that Varenka is already old, that “her daughter is married”.
Artistic originality
Tolstoy the artist always took care that in the work "everything should be reduced to unity." In the story “After the Ball”, the contrast became such a unifying principle. The story is built on the technique of contrast, or antithesis, by showing two diametrically opposite episodes and, in connection with this, a sharp change in the experiences of the narrator. So the contrasting composition of the story and the appropriate language help to reveal the idea of the work, to tear the mask of good nature from the face of the colonel, to show his true essence.
Contrast is also used by the writer when choosing language means. So when describing the portrait of Varenka, White color: « White dress”, “white kid gloves”, “white satin shoes” (such artistic technique called coloring). This is due to the fact that the white color is the personification of purity, light, joy, Tolstoy, using this word, emphasizes the feeling of a holiday and conveys the state of mind of the narrator. The musical accompaniment of the story speaks about the holiday in the soul of Ivan Vasilyevich: a cheerful quadrille, a gentle smooth waltz, a perky polka, an elegant mazurka create a joyful mood.
In the scene of punishment, there are other colors and other music: “... I saw ... something big, black, and heard the sounds of a flute and a drum coming from there. ... it was... hard, bad music."
The meaning of the work
The meaning of the story is enormous. Tolstoy poses broad humanistic problems: why do some live a carefree life, while others drag out a beggarly existence? What is justice, honor, dignity? These problems have worried and are worrying more than one generation of Russian society. That is why Tolstoy remembered an incident that happened in his youth and made it the basis of his story.
2008 marks the 180th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy. Hundreds of books and articles have been written about him, his works are known all over the world, his name is honored in all countries, the heroes of his novels and short stories live on screens, on theater stages. His word is heard on radio and television. “Not knowing Tolstoy,” wrote M. Gorky, “you cannot consider yourself knowing your country, you cannot consider yourself a cultured person.”
Tolstoy's humanism, his penetration into inner world human, protest against social injustice do not become obsolete, but live and influence the minds and hearts of people today.
A whole epoch in the development of Russian classical fiction is associated with the name of Tolstoy.
Tolstoy's legacy great importance to form the worldview and aesthetic tastes of readers. Acquaintance with his works, filled with high humanistic and moral ideals, undoubtedly contribute to spiritual enrichment.
In Russian literature, there is no other writer whose work would be as diverse and complex as the work of L.N. Tolstoy. great writer developed the Russian literary language, enriched literature with new means of depicting life.
The world significance of Tolstoy's work is determined by the formulation of great, exciting socio-political, philosophical and moral problems, unsurpassed realism in the depiction of life and high artistic skill.
His works - novels, stories, short stories, plays are read with unflagging interest by more and more generations of people all over the globe. This is evidenced by the fact that the decade from 2000 to 2010 was declared by UNESCO as the decade of L.N. Tolstoy.
The main events of the story begin in the early morning, after the ball. Pay attention to how colors, sounds, feelings change in this part. Some researchers also pay attention to the natural light of the early morning, as opposed to the artificial lighting of the ball. Instead of ladies in diamonds, the hero is surrounded by carts with firewood on sledges, cab drivers covered with matting, a blacksmith in a greasy sheepskin coat and apron. The charming music of the mazurka still sounds in Ivan Vasilyevich's ears, which, as it seemed to him at first, continues on the street, but listening closely, "some other, cruel, bad music" reaches him. The white clothes of the ladies at the ball are replaced by the black uniforms of the soldiers gathered in the street. And only Varenka's father was still ruddy, slender, and still in the same homemade boots, he walked clearly next to the punished and made sure that the soldiers lowered the sticks on the Tatar's back with appropriate force and did not "smear".
