Was there a thunderstorm, Katerina's monologue? Extensive analysis of the image of Katerina from the play “The Thunderstorm” with a detailed plan. (Unified State Examination in Russian). Interpretation of the heroine's thoughts

A.N. Ostrovsky is a great Russian playwright, author of many plays. But only the play “The Thunderstorm” is the pinnacle of his work. The critic Dobrolyubov, analyzing the image of Katerina, the main character of this work, called her “a ray of light in a dark kingdom.”
Katerina’s monologues embody her cherished dreams of a harmonious, happy life, of truth, and of Christian paradise.
The heroine’s life was going well and carefree in her parents’ house. Here she felt “free.” Katerina lived easily, carefree, joyfully. She loved her garden very much, in which she often walked and admired the flowers. Later telling Varvara about her life in her parents’ house, she says: “I lived, didn’t worry about anything, like a bird in the wild. Mama doted on me, dressed me up like a doll, and didn’t force me to work; I used to do whatever I want... I used to get up early; If it’s summer, I’ll go to the spring, wash myself, bring some water with me and that’s it, I’ll water all the flowers in the house. I had many, many flowers.” Katerina experiences the real joy of life in the garden, among the trees, herbs, flowers, the morning freshness of awakening nature: “Or I’ll go into the garden early in the morning, the sun is still rising, I’ll fall to my knees, I pray and cry, and I myself don’t know what I’m praying for and what am I crying about? That’s how they’ll find me.”
Katerina dreams of an earthly paradise, which appears to her in prayers to the rising sun, a morning visit to the springs, in the bright images of angels and birds. Later, in a difficult moment of her life, Katerina will complain: “If I had died as a little girl, it would have been better. I would look from heaven to earth and rejoice at everything. Otherwise she would fly invisibly wherever she wanted. I would fly out into the field and fly from cornflower to cornflower in the wind, like a butterfly.”
Despite her dreaminess and enthusiasm, Katerina has been distinguished since childhood by her truthfulness, courage and determination: “I was born so hot! I was still six years old, no more, so I did it! They offended me with something at home, and it was late in the evening, it was already dark, I ran out to the Volga, got into the boat, and pushed it away from the shore. The next morning they found it, about ten miles away!
Speaking with her whole life against despotism and callousness, Katerina trusts in everything the inner voice of conscience and at the same time tries to overcome the longing for lost spiritual harmony. When Varvara hands her the key to the gate through which she can go out on a secret date, her soul is full of confusion, she rushes about like a bird in a cage: “Who has fun in captivity! An opportunity arose, and another one was glad: so she rushed headlong. How can this be possible without thinking, without judging! How long does it take to get into trouble? And there you cry all your life, suffer; bondage will seem even more bitter.” But longing for a soul mate and awakening love for Boris take over, and Katerina keeps the treasured key and waits for a secret meeting.
Katerina's dreamy nature mistakenly sees the male ideal in the image of Boris. After her public confession about her relationship with him, Katerina realizes that even if her mother-in-law and husband forgive her sins, she will no longer be able to live as before. Her hopes and dreams are destroyed: “If only I had lived with him, maybe I would have seen some kind of joy,” and now her thoughts are not about herself. She asks her beloved for forgiveness for the troubles she has caused him: “Why did I get him into trouble? I should die alone.” Otherwise, I ruined myself, ruined him, dishonor to myself - eternal submission to him!”
The decision to commit suicide comes to Katerina as an internal protest against family despotism and hypocrisy. Kabanikha’s house became hateful for her: “It doesn’t matter to me whether I go home or go to the grave. It’s better in the grave...” She wants to find freedom after the moral storms she has experienced. Now, towards the end of the tragedy, her worries go away and she decides to leave this world with the knowledge that she is right: “Will they not pray? He who loves will pray.”
Katerina's death comes at a moment when dying is better for her than living, when only death turns out to be a way out, the only salvation of the good that is in her.

The author introduces us to Katerina's monologues about her years of life in her parents' home. She lived carefree and happily. The girl spent a lot of time in her garden, next to flowering plants, trees and herbs. She felt happy in her home. The mother did not force the girl to work, so she could spend her time as she pleased. And most often, the girl was in the garden and prayed to the Almighty.

We get acquainted with her monologues about earthly paradise. Katerina often represents images of angels, images of birds, images of the rising sun. In the difficult hours of her life, she wants to turn into a butterfly and, unnoticed by everyone, flutter from flower to flower.

Despite her frivolity and dreaminess, Katerina was a brave and decisive person. The heroine tells the story of how in her childhood, as a six-year-old girl, she ran away from home and sailed on a boat along the Volga. And they found the girl about ten miles from the house.

All her life, Katerina has been trying to speak out against the cruelty and oppressive people around her. She experiences mental anguish when the opportunity arises to go on a secret date with Boris. The girl understands that this is madness, but feelings of love prevail over her conscience. But Katerina’s vulnerable soul could not discern a weak personality in Boris. The lover did not dare to continue the relationship with Katerina. She was left alone, alone with shame and her unnecessary feelings.

Life after a public confession of betrayal becomes unbearable. And suicide is the only way out for the girl. She is freed from shame, from reproaches and ridicule, from surrounding cruelty, hypocrisy and callousness.

1) The drama “thunderstorm” is a verdict on the “dark kingdom”:

Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky in the play "The Thunderstorm" revealed the theme of the confrontation between good and evil. The main character is the girl Katerina, who, by the will of fate, encounters the “Dark Kingdom” of the city of Kalinov and the Kabanov Family. Criticism refers to the long-established way of life and way of life of the residents of the city of Kalinov as the “Dark Kingdom”. In this world, everything is ruled by tyranny, tyranny, and cruelty. All goals are achieved by humiliating other people.

Most heroes exalt themselves by exposing the failures of others. The brightest, and one might say, the main representative of this kingdom is Kabanikha, who is trying with all her might to subjugate all members of her family; she establishes laws that no one has the right to break. By humiliation, reproaches and other moral means of pressure, Marfa Kabanova builds her social status, forces her to obey, not allowing her to go beyond what is permitted. Katerina strives for freedom, she knows exactly what she wants and will never obey tyranny and tyranny. We can say that the girl, by her opposition to all the laws of this kingdom, pronounces a verdict on the inhuman foundations of this society.

2) Image of Katerina

2.1) Folk character traits:

Katerina is a complete image of a national character. Everything in her, from appearance to inner world, expresses the desire for justice, freedom and happiness. Katerina is a truly tragic heroine. From childhood, she was brought up with the best, the girl, who grew up in love and tenderness, simply could not come to terms with such a cruel life that reigned in the Kabanovs’ house: “I was like that! I lived, did not grieve about anything, like a bird in the wild. My mother doted on me, she dressed me up like a doll, she didn’t force me to work; I did whatever I wanted.” The simplicity and sincerity of the girl, inherent in all Russian people, sharply distinguishes Katerina from all other heroes of the play. The girl tries to treat everyone with kindness and understanding, not wishing harm to anyone, she lives with the hope of happiness.

A) External charm and modesty:

Speaking about the image of a girl, we must not forget that Katerina is an extraordinary beauty, a very modest and charming heroine. Simplicity, kindness, piety, naivety, honesty complete the image of an “earthly angel”. Katerina’s speech is not the last place in her image. The girl speaks smoothly, beautifully, her speech can be compared to a song.

B) Aesthetic talent:

The pure and bright image of the girl suggests that Katerina personifies the ideal Russian woman. There is no other conclusion to be drawn here. Katerina knows how to love like no one else; for her this is the most important of feelings. She is ready to do anything for her, and despairing of finding this feeling in her husband’s soul, she falls in love with Boris, he seems to her an ideal, perfect, dear person. But Katerina gets burned again. From all these failures, unjustified hopes, unfulfilled dreams, a solution emerges that will free the heroine from everything that caused pain, and no matter how much she feels sorry for herself, the heroine is ready to pay for her mistakes. The girl loves the world, loves people, tries to treat everything with kindness. She is trusting and simple, dreamy and beautiful. Honesty and nobility are also very important for this girl. It’s hard for her to hide her betrayal from her husband, and when she confesses to Tikhon about her betrayal, she feels better, but she understands that nothing can be returned. “Let everyone know, let everyone see what I am doing. If I was not afraid of sin for you, will I be afraid of human judgment?” - this is Katerina’s life position.

C) Rebellion and strength of character:

By humiliation, reproaches and other moral means of pressure, Marfa Kabanova builds her social status, forces her to obey, not allowing her to go beyond what is permitted. Katerina strives for freedom, she knows exactly what she wants and will never obey tyranny and tyranny. Life in the house of an unloved husband, pressure from her mother-in-law - all this did not make Katerina happy, and she is trying with all her might to fight it. Katerina's character cannot be named

simple, she does not allow herself to be offended, does not tolerate attacks from her mother-in-law: “Who likes to endure lies!”

Katerina can be hot and emotional, which she herself says when she told Varvara a story from her childhood: “They offended me with something at home...; I ran out to the Volga, got into the boat... The next morning they found it, about ten miles away!” The girl went against the system of tyranny and tyranny, did not obey the absurd orders of her mother-in-law and never once doubted that she was right. The girl did not betray herself and remained true to her principles. Katerina, without any doubt, was right when she followed the path that her heart told her. She remained true to herself, gained eternal freedom, soared above the entire “dark kingdom”, exposing all its vices.

2.2) Katerina has a loving, ideal character

A) Poetic daydreaming:

It is impossible not to say that Katerina’s suicide is her victory, this girl dreamed of a bright future, great love, a happy family, but fate decreed that only this step would free her from the shackles of the “dark kingdom”

B) Moral purity:

Katerina knows how to love like no one else; for her this is the most important of feelings. She is ready to do anything for her, and despairing of finding this feeling in her husband’s soul, she falls in love with Boris, he seems to her an ideal, perfect, dear person. But Katerina gets burned again. From all these failures, unjustified hopes, unfulfilled dreams, a solution emerges that will free the heroine from everything that caused pain, and no matter how much she feels sorry for herself, the heroine is ready to pay for her mistakes.

B) Internal independence:

Many character traits helped the girl determine her destiny. Even though the play ends on such a tragic note, everyone understands that suicide has become a necessity for Katerina, thereby a means of achieving absolute independence and freedom from cruelty and tyranny.

D) Peacefulness:

The girl tries to treat everyone with kindness and understanding, not wishing harm to anyone, she lives with the hope of happiness. She loves the world, opens her soul to meet it.

D) Credibility:

The heroine is gullible, because she believes that there are no bad people in the world, she trusts all her innermost thoughts to Varvara, tries to trust Tikhon, and blindly trusts Boris out of love.

E) Kindness, nobility:

No matter how those around her, her mother-in-law, treat Katerina, the girl does not hate them, she hopes that the power of good will destroy the tyranny of the Dark Kingdom, she reaches out to everyone, tries to help, but no one understands the girl’s good intentions. Whatever the daughter-in-law, Marfa Kabanova disliked her with all her heart, and when the girl appeared in their house and disturbed the peace of their tyrant conditions, Kabanikha decided to do everything possible to rid her son of such a wife. Life in the house of an unloved husband, pressure from her mother-in-law - all this did not make Katerina happy, and she is trying with all her might to fight it. Katerina’s nobility is manifested in her attitude to the current situation, she does not aggravate conflicts, she remains true to her principles.
