The image of a little man in the story of A. S. Pushkin “The Stationmaster”

“The Stationmaster” by A. S. Pushkin is one of the works included in the “Tales of Belkin” cycle, diverse in mood, composition, and themes.

The story unfolds before the reader from the life of a simple man, Samson Vyrin. He is one of many petty officials, the most ordinary, unremarkable. There are many like him in the Russian Empire, but Pushkin is interested in the fate of this “little” person, and not some

An outstanding figure, a hero, a bright personality.

A simple person turns out to be closer and more understandable to the reader, his story cannot leave anyone indifferent.

Already from the first lines, the author sets us on a dramatic note. The way of life and occupation of Samson Vyrin cause pity among passing travelers. After all, the stationmaster is an official of the lowest rank, forced to obey all his superiors.

He receives insults from everyone and, from the point of view of others, does not deserve respect.

However, at the beginning of the story, Samson Vyrin gives the impression of a happy person. He is strong and healthy. The caretaker is pleased with his life: after all, he has a beautiful daughter, whom he is proud of and in whom he does not have a soul.

A few years later, everything changed. Samson Vyrin turned into a frail old man, needed by no one and despised by everyone. Dunya's disappearance broke his life.

He became miserable and unhappy. It turned out that a man like captain Minsky could hurt a common man by kidnapping his daughter and not be punished. The “little” person becomes defenseless not only from a social point of view. He is insulted, his human dignity is violated. Liter empathizes with his hero, calling him a poor man, a poor man.

The caretaker gets drunk and dies.

Belkin sympathizes with the misfortune of the unfortunate caretaker.

The narrator's heart was touched by the tragedy of Samson Vyrin. He could not forget his story for a long time. The caretaker's grief intensifies in contrast to his daughter's happiness.

She became a rich lady, she has three children. But Dunya is also unhappy: she is tormented by remorse, because she did not receive her father's forgiveness.

One of the first to address the theme of the "little man" was Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin in the story "The Stationmaster". Readers listen with special interest and attention to the story of Belkin, an eyewitness to all the events described. Due to the special form of the story - a confidential conversation - readers are imbued with the mood that the author-narrator needs. We sympathize with the poor caretaker. We believe that this is the most unfortunate class of officials whom anyone will offend, offend even without apparent need, but simply to prove, mainly to themselves, their importance or to speed up their journey by a few minutes.
But Vyrin himself got used to living in this unfair world, adapted his simple life and was pleased with the happiness that was sent to him in the form of a daughter. She is his joy, protector, assistant in business. Despite her rather young age, Dunya has already entered the role of the hostess of the station. She humbles angry visitors without fear or embarrassment. Knows how to calm down the most "roosters" without further ado. The natural beauty of this girl fascinates those passing by. Seeing Dunya, they forget that they were in a hurry somewhere, they wanted to leave the wretched dwelling. And it seems that it will always be like this: a beautiful hostess, a leisurely conversation, cheerful and happy
caretaker... These people are naive and hospitable, like children. They believe in kindness, nobility, the power of beauty...
Lieutenant Minsky, seeing Dunya, wanted adventure, romance. He did not imagine that the poor father, an official of the fourteenth class, would dare to confront him - a hussar, an aristocrat - a rich man. Going in search of Dunya, Vyrin has no idea what he will do, how he can help his daughter. He, immensely loving Dunya, hopes for a miracle, and it happens. Finding Minsky in the vast St. Petersburg is almost impossible. But providence leads the unfortunate father. He sees his daughter, understands her position - a rich kept woman - and wants to take her away. But Minsky drives him into jerks.
For the first time, Vyrin understands the whole abyss that separates him from Minsky, a wealthy aristocrat. The old man sees the futility of his hopes to return the fugitive.
What remains for a poor father who has lost support in the face of his daughter, the meaning of life? Returning, he drinks, pouring wine over his grief, loneliness, resentment for the whole world. Before us is now a degraded person, not interested in anything, burdened by life - this priceless gift.
But Pushkin would not have been great if he had not shown life in all its diversity and development. Life is much richer and more inventive than literature, and the writer showed us this. Samson Vyrin's fears did not come true. His daughter did not become unhappy. She probably became Minsky's wife. Having visited the grave of his father, Dunya cries bitterly. She realizes that she hastened her father's demise. But she did not just run away from home, but was taken away by her loved one. At first she cried, and then resigned herself to her fate. And not the worst fate awaited her. We do not blame her, it was not Dunya who decided everything. The writer also does not look for the guilty. He simply shows an episode from the life of a disenfranchised and poor stationmaster.
The story marked the beginning of the creation in Russian literature of a kind of gallery of images of "little people". Gogol and Dostoevsky, Nekrasov and Saltykov-Shchedrin would later turn to this topic... But the great Pushkin stood at the origins of this topic.

Belkin's Tales, written by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, amaze the reader with its depth and relevance to this day. The fates of poor peasants and provincial nobles, described by the author in this cycle of stories, touch the soul of every reader and leave no one indifferent. Such is the hero of the story "The Stationmaster" Samson Vyrin. The characterization of this character requires a more detailed study.

Ivan Petrovich Belkin, the main narrator of all the stories in the cycle, witnessed this ordinary, unknown story. Samson Vyrin is a poor collegiate official of the fourteenth, the lowest class. His duties included looking after the roadside station, where he registered all the passers-by and changed their horses. Pushkin treats the hard work of these people with great respect.

Samson Vyrin, whose characteristics and life did not differ from other people, suddenly changed dramatically. His beloved daughter, Dunya, who always helped him in everyday life, was the pride of her father, leaves for the city with a visiting officer.

At the first meeting of the petty official Belkin and the caretaker, we observe a rather positive atmosphere at the station. Vyrin's house is very well-groomed, flowers grow, cozy atmosphere. He looks cheerful. All this thanks to Dunya, the daughter of Samson. She helps her father in everything, keeps the house clean.

The next meeting of the heroes turns out to be completely different: Samson Vyrin has changed a lot. The characterization of the house is very different from what it was before. The caretaker sleeps under his greatcoat, now he is unshaven, there are no more flowers in the room. What happened to this good-natured man and his house?

Betrayal or...

The characterization of Samson Vyrin from the story "The Stationmaster" should be supplemented by the fact of his daughter's departure. After another drink, he tells Belkin about the changes that have taken place in his life. It turns out that Dunya ran away from her father with officer Minsky, who lived at the station for several days by deceit. Samson Vyrin treated the hussar with all the warmth and care. The characterization of Minsky as a vile person is perfectly confirmed in the scenes of the arrival of the caretaker to his daughter.

Both times the hussar drives the old man away, humiliating him with crumpled banknotes, shouting at him and calling him names.

But what about Dunya? She never became Minsky's wife. Lives in a luxurious apartment, has servants, jewelry, chic outfits. Nevertheless, she is on the rights of a mistress, not a wife. Probably, it was not appropriate for a hussar to have a wife without a dowry. Seeing her father, who came to visit her and find out why she left so silently, leaving him alone, Dunya faints. Ask if she was ashamed? Maybe. Apparently, she understands that she somehow betrayed her father, exchanging a poor life for a chic metropolitan atmosphere. But still does nothing...

Small man

Belkin comes to this station for the third time and learns that our caretaker died alone, drunk and suffering for his only child. Repentant, the daughter nevertheless comes to her father, but does not find him alive. After that, she will cry for a long time at his grave, but nothing can be returned ...

Her children will be by her side. Now she herself has become a mother and, probably, felt for herself how strong the love for her own child is.

The characterization of Samson Vyrin, in short, is positive. He is a very kind person, always happy to help. For the sake of his daughter's happiness, he was ready to endure humiliation from Minsky, did not interfere with her happiness and well-being. Such people in the literature are called "little". He lived quietly and peacefully, asking nothing for himself and not hoping for the best. He died the same way. Almost no one knows that such an unfortunate stationmaster Samson Vyrin lived.

Samson Vyrin is a small man who has undergone life's injustice. The events of his fate, connected with the abandonment of his daughter, who left with an officer, lead the hero to death.

literary image

In Russian literature, quite often they turned to the image of a small person who has a number of specific features. These are insignificant people of the lower classes who are attacked by others or by fate itself. Despite all this, the image of a little man is distinguished by love for others, kindness and sincerity. The image of the difficult and contradictory fates of these heroes is always tragic. In works where the image of a small person is found, there are other features: the author expresses sympathy for such a person, but also shows his limited thinking.

Vyrin as a type of small person

In The Stationmaster, the little man is Samson Vyrin. This is a grade 14 official, which is the lowest grade. The author shows the difficulty of the position of the protagonist of the story. Samson has to work hard to earn a living - his own and his daughter's. Passers-by “curse” Vyrin and do not appreciate him as a person. Samson Vyrin lives in his own world, which he built for himself. His only joy in life was his daughter, an image that will become for the hero both happiness and disappointment in life.

The beginning of the work suggests that there were many people like Vyrin. This is a collective image that bears the tragic features of the time.

Tragic

The most important test that Samson Vyrin must go through is the escape of his daughter with a visiting officer. This event becomes a tragedy for the hero. He tries to find his daughter, but when he sees her at the officer's, he realizes that everything is lost for him. The officer tries to pay off Vyrin with money, and all attempts to meet his daughter alone are unsuccessful. After that, the hero of the work returns home and gradually fades away, and then dies altogether.

The writer shows that life's injustice led the main character of the "Station Master" to death. Samson Vyrin could not understand his daughter, so he could not bear her betrayal and died.

In the story "The Stationmaster" we are shown the image of one little man. We see how much an honest man was humiliated, how cruelly they humiliated him and trampled him into the ground, considered him low and poor in material prosperity.

In the image of such a person, the poor caretaker of the postal service Samson Vyrin was presented. This man received visiting guests from other countries at his home, provided them with food, drink and warm comfort, and in the morning he harnessed the horses for a long journey. This man did his job with a clear conscience and soul, he never wished harm to anyone. In his address, he accepted low humiliations for his poor-quality work. Despite everything, he did not succumb to insults and was not disappointed in his work. After all, he had the meaning of life, there was something to live for. This is his own fourteen-year-old daughter Dunyasha. She reciprocated her father and did all the housework: cooking and cleaning. Samson raised her alone after the death of his wife. Dunya got all the love and care of her father, Samson gives himself completely and takes care of his daughter with all his might.

On the first visit of the narrator, Samson Vyrin was full of energy, fresh and cheerful, despite his hard work. For the second time after the arrival of the narrator, the mountain has changed a lot. He seemed to have lost the meaning of life, stopped taking care of himself and began to drink heavily. His only daughter Dunyasha went to live with a rich chosen one. Father was wounded by Dunya's departure from his life, he considered it a treacherous act. After all, her father did not deprive her of anything, but she betrayed him, even old age and poverty did not break him like this action.

Samson understood that Dunya was in the insulting situation of the mistress of the chosen one, that other equally ingenuous ladies were seduced by wealth, and then they were thrown out into the street. But in spite of everything, her father was ready to forgive her everything, but if only she would come to her senses, come back! But it would seem that Dunya no longer knew her father. Samson had already lost the meaning of life, he now had no one to work and live for. He began to drink and sink in his own eyes. Samson Vyrin is a man of honor and duty, for him a clear conscience and soul come first, so this knocked him down.

This story ended tragically. Samson was unable to bring his daughter home and, due to grief, began to drink even more, he soon died.

Characteristics of Samson Vyrin

“The Stationmaster” is one of the stories included in a series of works united by one common title “The Tales of the Late Ivan Petrovich Belkin”. This story is about the hard fate of the most ordinary, ordinary people - stationmasters. The author emphasizes the point that, despite the seeming ease, the duties of these people are hard, and sometimes extremely thankless work. Often they are even accused of the fact that the weather is bad, or that the horses refuse to ride, etc. It's always the caretaker's fault. Many do not consider them to be people at all, and yet they are peaceful, helpful, modest people by their character and disposition. And their fates are mostly difficult, filled with suffering, tears and regret.

The life of Samson Vyrin was exactly the same as that of other caretakers. Like the rest, he had to silently endure endless insults and claims in his direction, so as not to lose the only opportunity to support his family. Samson Vyrin had a very small family: he and a beautiful daughter. At the age of 14, Dunya was very independent and for her father she was an indispensable assistant in everything.

In the company of his daughter, the protagonist is happy, and even the greatest difficulties have no power over him. He is cheerful, healthy, sociable. But a year later, after Dunya secretly left with the hussar, his whole life literally turned upside down.

Grief changed him beyond recognition. From now on, the reader is presented with the image of an aged, degraded and addicted to drunkenness person. Being a man for whom honor and dignity are above all, he could not accept the dishonorable act of his daughter and come to terms with what had happened. It just didn't fit in his head. He could not even allow in his thoughts that his own daughter, whom he loved and protected so much, did with him, and most importantly, with herself - in this way, becoming not a wife, but a mistress. The author shares the feelings of Samson Vyrin, respects his honest, sincere position.

For Vyrin, there is nothing more important than honor, and no wealth can replace it. Having endured the blows of fate many times, he was never broken by it. But this time something terrible and irreparable happened, something that made Vyrin fall out of love with life, sinking to the very bottom. The act of his beloved daughter turned out to be an unbearable blow for him. Even constant need and poverty were nothing to him in comparison with this. All this time, the caretaker was waiting for the return of his daughter and was ready to forgive her. What frightened him most of all was how such stories usually ended: when young and stupid girls are left alone, beggars and useless. What if the same story happened to his beloved Dunya? From despair, the father could not find a place for himself. As a result, the unfortunate father took to drink from inconsolable grief and soon died.

Samson Vyrin embodies the image of a joyless, filled with grief and humiliation life of ordinary people, stationmasters, whom every passer-by strives to offend. While it was precisely such people who were a model of honor, dignity and high moral qualities.

Roads, transfers. Anyone who had to ride and change horses at inns knows what it is. How disappointing it is that it is impossible to continue the journey due to the fact that there were no horses at the station. Wow, and the stationmasters got it for that. Especially if the traveler was in high ranks.

On duty, and not out of idle curiosity, I also had to travel a lot, everything happened. At one of these transit points, fate brought me together with one stationmaster, Samson Vyrin. A man of a small rank, responsibly relating to his duties. Dunya's daughter helped him in his difficult work. Many knew the inn, and even specially stopped by to look at Dunya. The caretaker understood this, and even in his heart he was proud of it.

But this couldn't go on forever. But no one imagined how life could change. It all happened on a winter evening, of course, not without Dunya's consent. The young man no doubt acted meanly, repaying his hospitality by kidnapping his daughter. No one began to reckon with the feelings of the old caretaker, neither the doctor, nor the officer himself, nor even his beloved daughter.

Left alone, Samson Vyrin could not come to terms with loneliness and ignorance, took a vacation and went in search of Dunyasha. In Petersburg, where the traces of the fugitives led, he stayed with a friend. In an unfamiliar city, it is very difficult to be alone, besides not having enough money and power, I had to humiliate myself in front of everyone I asked how to find Captain Minsky.

Whether Dunya was intimidated or she herself did not want to communicate with her poor father, but the caretaker was kicked out. After that, he returned to his terribly worried about his daughter. Is it possible that Dunya didn’t have a drop of love for the person who raised her. Yes, he was not rich, but he gave all the warmth of his noble soul to his only girl. And she did not even want to give the news that she was doing well. He was advised to file a complaint against Minsky, but pride and pride did not allow him to humiliate himself in front of those who offended him. For the caretaker, this was a great grief. But he was not so much worried about the insult inflicted on him, but about the future of his daughter. If he knew that Dunya was doing well, he would have come to terms with his position as an outcast.

It turns out that if a person is poor, who does not have a worthy rank, they do not put him in anything. Nowhere is he welcome

Option 4

Samson Vyrin is the protagonist of Pushkin's story "The Stationmaster". He is presented in the form of a "little man". He lives at his station and has no wealth. He is greatly humiliated by his life. He was constantly humiliated by people who came to the station. He was mistaken for a beggar. But he was honest, kind, and most importantly fair.

His work at the station did not give him any trouble. He received travelers from a long journey and arranged for them to rest. Samson always let people into his house. Then he watered the horses and gave them rest. And the next day, he accompanied the travelers on the road to the next station. He will do all his work honestly and with a pure soul. To those who left the station, he always wished a happy journey. But no one reciprocated him. After his warm words, he heard only insult and humiliation. To this Samson did not answer, but merely laughed softly in response. He did this in order not to lose the job he needed to raise his daughter Dunya. She helped her father cook and clean. She had to grow up without a mother. The father spent all his time on his only daughter and gave her all his love.

The whole story is based on the story. The story is about a man who arrived at the station. Samson made a good first impression of himself. The narrator described him as a kind and cheerful person. When the narrator arrives at the station the next year, he finds Samson as a morally broken man. He stopped shaving and started drinking a lot of alcohol. The narrator also noticed that Samson was very old. When the narrator begins to ask Samson what happened in his life, he tells his life story. It turns out that over the past year, Samson has faced the betrayal of his own daughter. A wealthy landowner came to Samson at the station and offered Dunya to go with him, and she agreed. This act turned Samson's life upside down. Even the poverty in which he lived before did not disturb him more than this act.

The main meaning of the novel "Quiet Flows the Don" is the preservation of humanity during a critical period in the country. The most important human virtues are based on the upbringing of children, on work and love.

You can't go through life without making mistakes. Every person and every generation that lives on earth makes a mistake. It is impossible to gain experience without making mistakes.
