3 Summing up

What facts do we know about Fonvizin as a satirist?

Is satire characteristic of traditional comedy of classicism?

What are the sources of satire in the comedy "undergrowth"?

From this point of view what was funny in Fonvizin’s comedy did not fit into the classicism formula of “making people laugh and using laughter.” The subject of his criticism was “difficult events and internal abuses.” Therefore, the artistic development of conflict and characters went beyond the comedy framework and entered the realm of satire. The “diseases” of society depicted in the comedy were, according to Gogol, “exposed to stunning obviousness by the merciless power of irony.”

DZ Characterize (in writing) the work according to the analysis plan

J.-B. Moliere is a representative of French classicism of the 17th century.

Goals: consider the signs of classicism in drama; introduce the biography and work of Moliere.

Lesson progress

I. Learning new material.

1.Learning to take notes teacher's lectures.

Teacher's story about French classicism.

The heyday of classicism is associated with the period of approval absolute monarchy in France. By the middle of the 17th century. royal power became a historically progressive force, opposing the willfulness of large feudal lords and promoting the development of the economic, social and spiritual life of the country. Under the patronage of the king, the French bourgeoisie grew rich. It was the king who managed to soften the fierce religious hostility within the country. The king's personality was perceived as the embodiment of rational will and enjoyed unquestioned authority. This era was called enlightened absolutism.

Historically, the necessary measures of royal power did not include concern for the welfare of the broad masses.

Louis XIV, or, as he was called, the “Sun King,” maintained his court with unprecedented luxury. The best artists, writers, musicians and performers were called to the court. The king built himself a new residence near Paris - Versailles. Its architects created a style that was reminiscent of ancient buildings in its strict artlessness and majesty. The style was based on the principle of gravity towards the center, symbolizing central power. The principle of strict regulation, which was imposed at the royal court, extended to the culture of the era. This is how the art of classicism arose, in line with which great works of architecture, sculpture and literature, especially drama, were created.

Classicism in France produced great writers - the masters of the tragic genre Corneille and Racine, the fabulist La Fontaine, and the comedy writer Molière.

The method of depicting a person among the playwrights of French classicism differs significantly from what realists of the 19th century later began to use. Unlike realism of the 19th century, in the works of which characters are associated with circumstances and are most often determined by these circumstances, classicist tragedy puts forward character in itself, circumstances here play a subordinate role.

Classicism tried to emphasize the universal meaning of the conflicts depicted. On the stage of the French tragic theater of the 17th century. the heroes act as participants in acute conflicts, the plot is built on the collision of opposing feelings - duty and passion.

The tragic poet’s focus on depicting human character and the moral principles that the hero follows largely determines the structure of the tragedy and the arrangement of characters in it.

Here the principle of “three unities”, traditional for the dramaturgy of classicism: place, time, action, is also explained.

The art of Moliere, a playwright and actor, grew up in the artistic atmosphere of mature classicism. By this time, Corneille had already completed his career; Racine was Moliere's contemporary.

Moliere's classicism is associated with an in-depth development of characters and an interest in the human personality in its complex relationships with other people.

2.Recording the main points on the topic “French classicism”:

1) Strict hierarchy of genres.

2) Comedy in the genre system:

a) depiction of everyday life, human vices;

b) conventional plot, comedy scheme;

c) the task is to “make people laugh and use laughter” (that is, to heal);

d) setting to spoken language;

e) happy ending;

e) 5 actions.

3) Rule of three unities:

a) unity of place;

b) unity of action;

c) unity of time.

4) Heroes of classicism:

a) the “constancy” of the hero (lack of internal development);

b) hero - the embodiment of one trait (speaking names);

c) dividing heroes into strictly positive and strictly negative;

d) a hero-reasoner (expressing moralizing judgments from the author’s position).

3. Teacher's story.

In the artistic biography of Moliere, written by M. Bulgakov, there is a chapter “Bru-ga-ga”, dedicated to the first performance of Moliere’s theater at court. This happened in one of the halls of the Louvre on October 24, 1658. The evening opened with Corneille's tragedy "Nycomède". In the hall are the king, courtiers, actors of the Burgundy Hotel, recognized masters of the tragic genre. As the performance progresses, the audience becomes bored; the king’s brother, young Philippe d’Orléans, huddles in his chair—it was he who won the right for the provincial troupe to play in the Louvre. So what is failure? It seems to have already been accomplished when, after “Nycomede,” Moliere appears on stage and offers to play before the audience a comedy of his own composition, “The Doctor in Love” - they say, the province laughed at it. The king nods indulgently.

The leading role, as in the just failed “Nycomede,” was played by the director of the theater himself, Molière. He ran onto the stage and the audience began to smile. After the first remark they began to laugh. And after a few minutes the laughter turned into roar. And you could see how the arrogant man (the king) fell back in his chair and began to sob and wipe away his tears. Suddenly, unexpectedly for himself, Philip laughed shrilly next to him. Moliere's face suddenly brightened. He realized that he was hearing “... the famous, indescribable collapse in the hall, which speaks of the complete success of the comedy, which in Molière’s troupe was called “bru-ha-ha” ....”

This is how the capital learned about the new troupe and its director, an unimportant performer of tragic roles, but an excellent farceur and writer of comedies. The king legalized the existence of the new theater by assigning it the Petit Bourbon hall. According to the unofficial title of the king's brother, the theater was called Monsieur's troupe.

4.Student's report about J.-B. Moliere.

Jean Baptiste Poquelin, who entered literature under the name Molière, was born in 1622 into the family of a furniture upholsterer, who eventually bought the patent of “the king’s personal upholsterer.” The future writer was educated at one of the privileged educational institutions - Clermont College (now the Ludwig the Great Lyceum). As was customary then, he mastered Latin perfectly (students, even during breaks, were required to speak only Latin), and knew the ancient classics well. Biographers claim that the range of his knowledge was wider than was provided for in the program. After graduating from college, Jean Baptiste receives a law degree; 2 years later, in 1643, he renounces the right to the title of “personal upholsterer of the king,” which he could inherit from his father, and becomes an actor. With the assistance of several friends, he opens the so-called Brilliant Theater in Paris, where he takes the stage name Moliere for the first time. However, this enterprise fails, and the bankrupt troupe begins to wander around the cities and rich estates of France. It was during this period, which lasted for 13 years, that Moliere acquired life and stage experience and began to write plays himself.

Moliere's troupe performed, of course, not only before provincial nobles, but also before commoners. Acquaintance with people from the people during many years of wandering around the country contributed, in particular, to the creation of images of energetic, dexterous and intelligent servants and maids in his comedies.

It meant a lot to Moliere to become acquainted with folk farce - an eccentric comedy on everyday topics, common in the French fair theater. Moliere used many farce techniques when creating his works. From the Renaissance, Moliere has his cheerfulness, faith in man, his depiction of the struggle against inert forces that prevent the hero from achieving happiness.

The sudden death of the playwright in 1673 occurred, one might say, on the stage. While playing the main role in his last comedy, The Imaginary Invalid, Moliere felt truly ill and died shortly after the performance. The Archbishop of Paris, who belonged to the camp of enemies of the great comedian, prohibited funerals in the city cemetery under the pretext that the “comedian” died without repentance. This absurd situation, when relatives did not know what to do with the body of the deceased Moliere, was reproduced in detail in M. Bulgakov’s biographical story “The Life of Monsieur de Moliere.”

Classicism as a literary movement

Classicism arose in the first half of the 18th century. During this period, the autocratic system strengthened in Russia. The main support of the autocracy was the nobility. The literature of classicism served the needs of the absolute state. She preached the ideas of citizenship associated with this form of social structure, the idea of ​​an enlightened monarchy.

Translated from Latin, “classicism” means “exemplary”, “first-class”. In the 17th and 18th centuries, works of ancient Greco-Roman art were considered exemplary and worthy of imitation.

The study of works of ancient art allowed the theorists of classicism to derive canons that writers were supposed to follow in their artistic creativity.

Classical writers believed that human feelings are deceptive, that only with the help of reason can one understand life and harmoniously reflect it in literature.

The rules of classicism provided for the division of literature into strictly defined genres: high (ode, poem, tragedy) and low (comedy, satire, fable).

Human characters were depicted one-sidedly, the characters usually were the bearers of any one trait. Characters clearly divided into carriers of good or evil.

Dramatic works were subject to the rules of three unities. The events took place over the course of one day, in one place, the plot was not complicated by side episodes.

Idealization of heroes

All people are imperfect and are subject to certain sins from time to time. Of course, you need to try to improve yourself and improve, but in order to know how to eliminate your own shortcomings, you should first familiarize yourself with the list of the main vices of a person, which is given in this article.

What is vice?

Vice is a moral and spiritual defect, the opposite of good. This is everything that is contrary to kindness and truth; vices include any kind of moral perversions, distortions, inclinations for bad things, a bad life.

Vice is always a violation of the norm. It’s sad to realize, but in nature there are no ideal people at all; everyone has some sins.

Although the name “deadly sins” inspires some horror, in reality they are nothing more than information that a person must realize, accept and begin to process. If you are not trying to run away from the truth and admit that you have some kind of sin, then you are ready to start dealing with it.

If you have a sincere desire to start fighting your vices and improve yourself, be sure to read on.

List of basic human vices

In total, there are seven generally established human sins - laziness, gluttony, pride, lust, greed, malice and envy. Of course, this list can be enumerated ad infinitum, but these seven vices were singled out separately, since they are the ones that contribute to the emergence of other sins.

All people encounter the described sins from time to time throughout their lives. It is also important to remember that sins differ from each other in their semantic characteristics.

For example, for some of them a person is guilty before his personality, his religion, and for other shortcomings - before the people around him.

According to a common point of view, pride is the most terrible vice. This is explained by the fact that a proud person challenges the Creator himself.

1. Laziness(can also manifest itself in the form of apathy, depression, reluctance to do something). Laziness is a lack of hard work or its complete absence. Lazy people cannot be useful to their society.

But sometimes it is vital for each of us to be lazy in order to preserve our energy and improve our future functioning. The main thing is not to overdo it.

1. Gluttony(also known as gluttony). This is a pathological passion for delicious food that a person consumes in excessive quantities.

It should be noted that alcoholism is also a type of gluttony. Lovers of delicious food often suffer from excessive food consumption.

1. Anger(also manifested in the form of rage, anger, aggression, desire for revenge). Anger is a negative emotion that is aimed at a feeling of injustice. At the same time, a person is overcome by a strong desire to eliminate this injustice.
2. Greed(known under the guise of greed and stinginess). Greed is the desire to own as much material wealth as possible, when a person simply loses his sense of proportion.
3. Envy(this vice also manifests itself in the form of jealousy). Envy is a person’s desire to have the same things that more successful individuals have. A person overcome by envy can commit various terrible acts.
4. Pride(also known as pride with arrogance). It manifests itself in the form of egoism (egocentrism), excessive pride, arrogance. If a person is overcome by pride, he brags about himself in front of other people and is firmly convinced that his opinion is the most correct.
5. Lust(manifests in the form of debauchery, fornication, voluptuousness). Lust acts as a rough sexual desire, forbidden passion, secret desires. In general, this vice includes any type of desire due to which a person faces some inconvenience or suffering.

Sociologists conducted an interesting study, which resulted in a “hit parade” of deadly sins. Anger and pride took first place in him, and laziness and greed came in last.

How to deal with your vices

It’s not enough just to know a list of a person’s main vices. If you really want to start improving yourself, then get rid of your own shortcomings. We'll tell you how to do this further.

1. Pride. To cope with pride, you should feel a sense of respect and love for other people, regardless of what position in society and status they have. You must try to understand that those around you, just like you, are part of a single Universe in which everyone should live in harmonious relationships with the world.
2. Greed. How can you cope with this vice? You need to start treating things differently, to understand for yourself that real life values ​​are never material. And an expensive car or apartment are all means that help you lead a normal life, and not objects that should be worshiped. True values ​​are always hidden deep within ourselves. They lie in our faith, our ability to change ourselves and our lives for the better.
3. Envy. If you want to eradicate the feeling of envy in yourself, then you must eliminate the feeling of contempt for those people who have achieved more success in life. Moreover, they really have no idea about your feelings and cannot in any way influence your success.

Learn to live without looking at the happiness and success of others, concentrate only on yourself and you will certainly be able to succeed in the business in which you dream of doing it.

1. Lust. To eliminate sin, lust must be prevented intimacy in cases where you do not have any feelings for your partner. Sex is a manifestation of love, and if there is no love, then it is impossible to talk about full-fledged intimacy.
2. Anger. To stop getting angry often, analyze the situation or people from whom you feel the energy of danger, who instill in you a feeling of fear. Most likely, in reality they are not at all as dangerous as you think about them. Start working through your fears, realize their true essence - this will help you discover the root cause, and therefore quickly eliminate them in principle.
3. Laziness. Not everyone is aware that laziness can be not only harmful, but also useful. Just give yourself some physical and mental rest from everyone and everything. Be alone with yourself, letting go of all thoughts and not taking any actions.
