  • (based on the story of N. V. Gogol "Taras Bulba")

    The pride of old Colonel Taras Bulba was his two sons, Ostap and Andriy. At the age of boys, according to custom, they were sent to the Kiev Academy. "They were then, like everyone who entered the Bursa, wild, brought up in freedom, and there they usually polished a little and got something in common that made them similar to each other." Despite this commonality, the boys were still quite different.

    The eldest, Ostap, did not want to study at first, because in those days the theoretical sciences were far from life, "the scientists of that time were more ignorant than others, because they were completely removed from experience." Under the influence of his father, who promised to send his son to a monastery for his negligence in his studies, Ostap began with "extraordinary diligence to sit at a boring book and soon became along with the best", which, however, did not save him from relentless rods. All this tempered the character of the young man. Ostap has always been a good friend. He did not like to lead, but in a difficult situation he did not betray his comrades and did not betray: "No whips and rods could force him to do it." He was not interested in anything, "except for the war and a riotous revelry".

    The smaller one, Andrii, "had feelings somewhat more lively and somehow more developed." He studied willingly and without effort. He was more resourceful and resourceful than his older brother. Quite often, Andriy participated in dangerous sorties by the Bursaks, while managing to avoid punishment. Very early on, the need for love flared up in him, which had to be hidden from his comrades: "In that century it was shameful and dishonorable to think of a Cossack about woman and love without having tasted the battle." One evening there was a fateful meeting between And-ria and a beautiful Polish woman. He happened to be on the street where Little Russian and Polish nobles lived. He gape, and at that time the landlord's rattle almost ran over him, and the driver sitting on the box painfully hit him with a whip. Andrii, not afraid of the scuffle, boldly grabbed the rear wheel with his powerful hand and stopped the car. The coachman, fearing to be butchered, hit the horses, they dashed off - Andrii flopped right on his face into the mud. It was at this unpleasant moment that the beauty saw him, "black-eyed and white, like snow, illuminated by the morning blush of the sun."

    Even during a meeting with his father after a long separation, Ostap and Andriy behave differently. Ostap responds to his father's provocation with strong cuffs, while Andriy, "a child of over twenty years and exactly a fathom," goes away from aggressive actions under the protection of his mother. Bulba is saddened by this behavior of the youngest son, which he says, deciding to teach the children a real lesson in courage, courage, courage and send them to Zaporozhye: “Eh, the dates are daub, as I see it! Do not listen, son, to your mother: she is a woman, she does not know anything. What kind of tenderness are you? Your tenderness is an open field and a good horse: here is your tenderness! Do you see this saber? - here is your mother! " During parting, a crying mother rushes to her youngest son - more tenderness was expressed in his features. But the father's authority had a greater influence on the young men than the tears and despair of the mother: "The young Cossacks rode vaguely and held back tears, fearing their father, who, however, for his part, was also somewhat embarrassed, although he did not try to show it."

    Differences in the characters and behavior of the brothers are especially noticeable during their stay in Sich. Although the Zaporozhye military science was fun, the young men matured in a month. Old Bulba was pleased to know that his sons were among the first warriors.

    Ostap was originally written "the path of battle and the difficult knowledge to carry out military affairs." In a moment of danger, he could calmly assess the state of affairs and find ways to overcome it. Taras Bulba had something to be proud of. "O! yes this one will in time be a good colonel! - said the old Cossack, - she-she, there will be a good colonel, and even such that the daddy will plug in his belt.

    Andrii was a passionate nature, carried away. In the heat of battle, he could do something that he would never have dared to, seriously comprehending the situation. Father Andriy's verdict sounded like this: “And this is good - the enemy would not have taken him! - warrior! Not Ostap, but a kind warrior, too. "

    Despite the same upbringing, the fates of the brothers were different. It is difficult to find an answer to the question of why Ostap chose the path of a glorious warrior, devoted to his comrades and his homeland, and Andrii, captivated by the unearthly beauty of a woman, became a traitor, a murderer of comrades in arms. Andrii violated two laws of the Zaporozhye Cossacks at once, in the Sich he would have faced a more sophisticated and cruel punishment. Although it is difficult to imagine a punishment more terrible than death at the hands of your own father.

    A great role in human destiny is played by the knowledge base, the experience gained from the parents, upbringing and education. Inborn talents and abilities help to overcome life difficulties. However, a person is in his own own hands... Everyone chooses his own path and is responsible for all his actions, sometimes even at the cost of his own life,

    N.V. Gogol was deeply interested in the history of Little Russia, although the attitude to the political and cultural role of Ukrainians was ambiguous in different periods of creativity: from admiration and high hopes to pessimism, attribution of all achievements and merits to the depths of time.
    Brilliant intuition, combined with an excellent knowledge of the national character, allowed Gogol to create multifaceted and expressive images of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, true legend stormy, wartime, heroic time.

    Two brothers Ostap and Andrii, who grew up and were brought up in the same conditions, are polar opposite human types. Ostap is what is called an impeccable fighter, a reliable comrade. He is silent, calm, reasonable. Ostap continues and honors the traditions of fathers and grandfathers. For him, there is never a problem of choice, moral duality, hesitation between feelings and duty. He's amazingly solid. Ostap unconditionally accepts the Zaporozhye way of life, the ideals and principles of his older comrades. His respect never turns into obsequiousness, he is ready to take the initiative, but he respects the opinion of other Cossacks. At the same time, he will never be interested in the opinion, the look of "strangers" - infidels, foreigners. Ostap sees the world as harsh and simple. There are enemies and friends, friends and foes. He is not interested in politics, he is straightforward, courageous, loyal and stern warrior. It is as if Ostap was hewn out of a solid piece of stone, his character is given ready-made at its core, and his development is straightforward, in highest point feat terminated by death.
    Andrii is the complete opposite of his brother. Gogol showed not only human differences, but also historical ones. Ostap and Andrii are almost the same age, but these are types belonging to different historical times. Ostap is from a heroic and primitive era, Andrii is internally close to a later time of a developed and refined culture and civilization, when politics and trade take the place of war and robbery. Andrii is softer, more refined, more flexible than his brother. He is endowed with great sensitivity to the stranger, "other", greater sensitivity. Andriy Gogol has the rudiments of fine taste and a sense of beauty. However, one cannot call him weaker. He is characterized by courage in battle and much more important quality- the courage to do independent choice... Passion leads him to the camp of the enemy, but there is more behind it. Andrii now wants to fight for his own, what he himself found and called his own, and did not receive by inheritance, by tradition.
    Two brothers must become enemies. Both perish, one at the hands of enemies, the other at the hands of his father. You cannot call one good and the other bad. Gogol gave national character in development, he showed people who by nature belong to different historical eras.

    An extraordinary artistic truth is evident in the types of this story. Especially well and brightly bred two brothers, the sons of Taras Bulba, Ostap and Andriy. They are good in the contrast in characters that Gogol so vividly outlined. Ostap - iron character, reasonable, stern, bright representative the environment from which he came out.

    He is ranked among others according to his ability; still very young, he quickly enters the combat life for which he was, as it were, created, quickly gains experience and becomes not only on a par, but also higher than the old warriors. He was not born to seek and doubt, to perceive the new and put it into practice by his nature, in whatever era he lived, he is not a reformer, not a conductor of new beginnings. He is only an outstanding and bright representative of his time, of those traditions and those forms of life that developed before him. Such people do not know contradictions either with themselves or with the environment.

    Ostap, had he lived to the age of his father, Taras Bulba, would have been an equally integral nature, not knowing the duality either in his outlook or in his actions. If he had died not so early, he would undoubtedly have accomplished more than one feat, would have enjoyed great respect among the Cossacks and influence among them, and after death the bandura players would have glorified his feats. This is one of those natures that unusually fully reflect their era. Throughout the story, this type is unusually sustained. He begins his stay in the bursa by trying to escape from there several times, and he is not stopped by the most cruel punishments.

    Only after the threat of his father to send him to the monastery does he change his behavior and sit down at the textbook; he practices with the unwavering energy that was characteristic of him. He always takes part in the adventures of the students. He rarely leads others, but always in such cases is the most loyal companion. It was created for an abusive life. Real education for him begins in Sich. He is stern and reasonable, he looks closely at everything and benefits from everything. He needs a little time to appear already a tried and tested fighter and even a reasonable boss. He dies heroically, with the usual stern inflexibility.

    His younger brother Andrii is quite different. This is a poetic, addicting nature. Gogol outlined its features with special love. He has a softer heart than his brother. He is accessible to the sense of beauty. Early on, he begins to be interested in the phrases of the beauty that is worn in his dreams. When he saw such in reality, he is carried away by her to the point of oblivion. He is prone to idealization and daydreaming.

    Even in war, he saw its aesthetic side. He was not an artisan of war, he reveled in its poetry. He was not able, like Ostap, "to measure out all the danger and all the situation in one moment, to immediately find a means of how to evade it, to evade in order to later overcome it more accurately." No - “Andrii was completely immersed in the charming music of bullets and swords. He did not know what it meant to measure in advance his own and those of others.

    He saw a frenzied bliss in battle: he saw something festive in those minutes when a person's head flared up, everything flickers and interferes in his eyes, heads fly, and he rushes like a drunk, in the whistle of bullets ... ”. For him, Andriy, just a reminder of the little girl who made such a strong impression on him two years ago is enough for him to throw everything aside and rush at her feet.

    Devotion to Orthodoxy, devotion to Zaporozhye and the glorious Sich, loyalty to comrades - all these shrines for the Zaporozhets, firmly rooted in him under the influence of abusive life and constant dangers, he sacrifices for the sake of passion, impulse. The comparison of two brothers with such different natures is by no means artificial.

    Different nature for both, and with different eyes

    they are looking at the same thing.

    N. Gogol. Taras Bulba

    The story of N.V. Gogol reflects the national liberation struggle of the Zaporozhye Cossacks against the Polish gentry, who oppressed Ukrainian culture and tried to plant their own traditions, customs, and faith. The Zaporizhzhya Sich also served as a barrier against the raids of the Turkish invaders, which sometimes brought no less misfortune than the Poles.

    The main characters of the story are the old Zaporozhye Cossack Taras Bulba and his sons Ostap and Andriy, who have just returned home from the bursa. The whole life of Taras Bulba was devoted to the fight against foreign invaders, and he hoped that his sons would become his first assistants in this matter.

    In the beginning, the sons who have returned home are like "recently graduated seminarians." Gogol writes about them as "two stalwart fellows" with strong, healthy faces. The brothers are embarrassed by the ironic reception of their father, and Ost-tap, not tolerating ridicule, invites Taras Bulba to "pacify" him. "Will be a good Cossack!" - this is how the old Zaporozhets assesses the behavior of the eldest son when meeting. The younger one - Andria - “twenty-odd years old and exactly a fathom in height,” his father calls “mazunchik” for his silent embarrassment.

    However, Andrii is not a coward. When talking with the Cossacks, with whom the proud father introduces his sons, Andrii passionately says: “Let someone catch you only now. Just let some Tatars turn up now, she will know what kind of thing the Cossack saber is! " Ostap, along with his readiness not to let offenders get off the ground, also shows such qualities as attentiveness, observation, a sharp mind, and composure.

    Even while studying at the Bursa, the sons of Taras Bulba were distinguished by their dissimilarity of characters. The eldest, Ostap, was stubborn from childhood and was famous for perseverance in achieving goals. At first he didn't want to study. Several times he escaped from the college and hid the books, until his father threatened him that Ostap "will not see Zaporozhye forever, if you do not study all sciences at the academy." Since then, Ostap began to study with "extraordinary diligence" and soon became one of the best students. Like his glorious father, Ost-tap, above all, appreciated the sense of camaraderie, was honest and "straightforward with equals." Temperate and purposeful, Ostap was "stern to other motives, except for war and wild revelry."

    The youngest son of Taras - Andriy - studied "more willingly and without stress." Feelings and emotions, developed much more in him than in his older brother, often led him into rather dangerous enterprises. He was evasive and inventive, especially when it came to avoiding punishment, Andrii was gentle-faced, young, handsome, and the need for love woke up early in his heart. It was at this time that he saw and fell in love with a young Polish woman, who played an important role in his later life.

    The old Zaporozhets Taras Bulba believed that best school for his sons - the Zaporizhzhya Sich, only there you can learn something worthwhile, gain intelligence. Not giving his sons a rest from the road and being with their mother, Taras Bulba takes Ostap and Andriy to the Cossack freemen.

    In the Zaporizhzhya Sich, young Cossacks showed themselves with better side... They stood out for "direct prowess and good luck in everything." The old Cossacks spoke approvingly of the new arrivals, but their whole nature was revealed only during the battle, because even there both were "one of the first".

    It seemed that Ostap "had been written a battle path and a difficult knowledge to carry out military affairs." Endurance and composure, the ability to prudently weigh the danger and quickly and accurately find correct solution, perseverance and self-confidence helped to see in him the inclinations of the future leader. Gogol compares Ostap to a lion, and Taras Bulba proudly says: “Oh! yes, it will eventually be a good colonel! "

    Soon the Cossacks decide during the battle to designate Ostap as a kuren ataman instead of the killed one: "He is, indeed, the younger of all of us, but his mind is like that of an old man." Ostap justified their trust, with determination, strength and courage he won even greater love and respect for himself.

    Like a lion, Ostap fought in the last battle, when many Cossack elders and chieftains were killed. The eldest son of Taras fought bravely before our eyes own father, heroic strength was in him. However, the numerical superiority was on the side of the Poles, and they managed by hook or by crook to capture Ostap.

    Heroically, with unprecedented courage, "like a giant", Ostap endures the torments and tortures that the Poles subjected him to. “Neither scream nor groan was heard” from Ostap's lips during the torment he was enduring. Ostap - a real Zaporozhets, a worthy Cossack, the son of his father Taras Bulba - before his death did not want any pity, no sobbing and lamentation for himself. He needed a reasonable word from a firm husband, and his father was there, supported him with his presence, despite the mortal danger. Ostap knew how to fight like a lion, but he died like a hero.

    And what about Andriy? Taras Bulba also praised his youngest son during the first battle: "a good warrior." Andriy in battle is not characterized by either composure or patience - he is all in the power of feelings. Impatience, an unbridled impulse, direct his actions and lead him. He is brave because he gives himself neither the time nor the opportunity to assess the danger. It is no coincidence that Gogol says that "he rushes like a drunkard", because in the battle Andriy saw for himself "mad bliss and rapture." For him, the battle is just "the charming music of bullets and swords", he does not think for what the battle is being fought, what the Cossacks want to achieve. The essence of Andriy's impatient and ardent character was manifested in his demeanor during the battle.

    Between battles Andriy is bored, feels "some stuffiness in his heart." And just at this time, a captive Tatar woman, a servant of the Polish lady, sneaks into the camp of the Cossacks to ask Andriy for bread for her mistress. Without hesitation, Andriy rushes to the aid of his enemies. And here he is at the mercy of his emotions. He steals Cossack bread and takes it to the Poles in the besieged city. Andriy - not evil person, compassion is not alien to him. In a strange city, he gives a loaf of bread to the hungry, but again, he does it under the influence of an impulse. Having met with the lady, he does not hesitate to renounce his father, comrades and homeland. For the sake of the lady, he is ready for treason and betrayal: "I will sell everything, I will give it, I will destroy ..." These words ruined Andriy as a person, as a Cossack, as a defender of the fatherland. Even the old father "will curse both the day and the hour at which he gave birth to such a son to shame himself." Without doubts and torments of conscience, Andriy equips his personal happiness in the trouble of relatives, friends, homeland. Material from the site

    Fate decreed to bring Taras Bulba, a treasonous son and a valiant Cossack member, to the battlefield. Andrii led a detachment of horsemen against the Cossacks. "How? .. Your own? .. Your own, damn son, you beat your own? .." - Taras could not stand it. Son's behavior was contrary to life principles and the moral principles of the old Cossack. There is no more son for him and, having lured Andrii into a trap, Taras kills him.

    When Andriy saw his father before his death, he "shook his whole body and suddenly became pale ...". Like a schoolboy, the son stood in front of Taras, "eyes sunk into the ground." At the sight of a "terrible" father, he is as submissive as a child, because he realizes his guilt, his betrayal. However, until his death, the traitor did not repent of his actions. He dies with the name of the Polish woman on his lips.

    With a feeling of bitterness and sadness, Taras Bulba stands over his murdered son. "What would not the Cossack be?" - he thinks, looking at his native courageous and Beautiful face... Gogol describes the dead Andria very poetically, but standing next to for-the-father-father does not allow us to forget that in front of us is a traitor.

    How similar were the sons of Taras Bulba - fearless, courageous, eager to fight. And how they differed from one another - Ostap and Andrii. One is an uncompromising defender of the fatherland and a loyal comrade, the other is a traitor. For some - a heroic death, for others - a shameful death. Almost like in real life.
