For what and against which fought Chatsky? Human dignity is the main value

Undoubtedly, Alexander Andreevich Chatsky belonged to the best representatives of the nobility intelligentsia of his time. Chatsky literally burns from his love for the Motherland and at the same time no one feels its shortcomings. Returning, he sees in Moscow society some masks and grimaces, even his love was trampled by a stupid girl. The maid Lisa sees in him a greater flight of the spirit than the educated Sophia! For what and against which fought Chatsky? This will be discussed in the article below.

The image of the intellectual

Intelligence, which includes gentleness and kindness, requires a person to be ready to fight. This is some kind of human and psychological property, not related to the place of work and education. The intellectual sharply suffers from his own shortcomings and shortcomings of his homeland. Slave love is associated with unrestrained self-praise. For such people, the suffering person seems simply hostile to their world. The old image of a humane person with a sword or sword on his thigh, a humanist who can not only bear words, but also protect them, is an image with a foundation. The fortress, which it is almost impossible to conquer, is internal intelligence.
These people can rely on something; Some, for example, to religion, others to one's talent, others to a sense of duty to the people, but always and necessarily to a moral sense. This is generally a very brief description of the intellectual in general and Chatsky in particular. Therefore, when the question of what Chatsky fought for and against, will be, these moments will have to be remembered.

The dispute with Famusov

FAMUSOV, after his direct question of whether Chatsky wants to marry his daughter, erupted into a moralizing monologue. He said that, first of all, it is necessary to manage the property well, and then go to serve. Here it is necessary to explain that according to the table of ranks in order to represent something, one must have a rank, and a high one. Chatsky with his mind is fully capable of this, but there is one thing. "I would be glad to serve, I feel sick to serve." Here Famusov can not stand it. He says that all the present are proud. And in the old days (he recalls the era of Catherine), people in the orders were only happy to amuse the Empress, even though humiliated, but after receiving a lot of favors and gifts, affable words.
Chatsky objects to this. His credo remains unchanged: "I would be glad to serve, I feel sick to serve," and he explains this with examples. People are good not because they bend their back and neck, not in order to speak flatteringly, it's only submissiveness, fear and servility, although it's mean to behave and now there will be hunters. But only they became few. Even the princes look at it askance, because people are held in check by shame and fear ridicule. For human dignity and against slavish obedience stands the man of the new formation. That's what is going on with Famusov, that's what Chatsky fought for and against, recalling the past century.

How is the new time perceived

Short remarks Chatsky cause the horror of Famusov. Secular society has changed, not everyone is in a hurry to become a jester, to find a patron, to be bored, sitting in the living room, in time to serve, having substituted a chair or lifting a handkerchief. It is better to travel or live in the countryside, and if you are to serve, then not to individuals, but to business. This is how Chatsky reflects in his monologues. FAMUSOV is simply beside himself with such statements natural to an intelligent person . It was Famusov who voiced what Chatsky fought for and against. The freethinker speaks of freedom and does not recognize the decision of the authorities. Such as he, you can not only live in the capital, but even drive up to it, says Famusov.

As Chatsky in his monologues denounces ignorance

FAMUSOV does not rejoice at the old pillar nobility, who, having gathered in the club, will argue and disperse, but does not intend to offer a new one. He continues to praise the elderly for ministerial minds. "And the ladies? - hunny who, try, master; Judges everywhere, there are no judges over them, "continues Famusov. - Slovo in simplicity will not say, all with grimace; The French romances are sung to you. " To this Chatsky bitterly replies that everything is new, except for old prejudices. And judgments of their old people are taken from newspapers a hundred years ago. Which of them can be taken as a model for imitation? Those who, after looting wealth, now give feasts and balls to all of Moscow? Or someone who, having started a theater and is ruined, sells his actors singly? Do we have to respect these? But there is one "unconditional value" - officers. Their beautiful embroidered uniform covers the weak-willedness and misery of reason. This is how Chatsky sneers.
Talking with Sophia, who had already hoisted a rumor that he was insane, and did it with pleasure, Chatsky bitterly notes that the pathetic French are more courteous than their relatives, because they know the price there, and here the eyes and mind closed the word "A foreigner". And for foreigners, if there are five or six thoughts in your head, that's good. And this mixture of French and Nizhny Novgorod dialect - it's impossible to listen to it and it's ridiculous. Here is how Chatsky in his monologues denounces ignorance and empty heads, clogged with uniforms, mods, shunning all Russian.

What is dear to Chatsky

The basic beliefs of Chatsky were expressed briefly in a conversation with Molchalin, when he dares to advise a loser (in his opinion, Chatsky) how to live right: one must find the protection of an influential woman. To which our hero squeamishly responds that he does not go to women for this. In general, if he is busy with business, he does not mix it with entertainment. But there are a lot of people who mix it, but it does not apply to those. That's what CHATSKY defends - the true concern for the cause for the benefit of the Fatherland, and not on his pocket.

Honor and dignity, dullness and immorality

So, as one of the first intellectuals who emerged in Russia, Chatsky stands up for the protection of the dignity of man, his right to choose what to do, his own way of thinking (only if these thoughts were, if only they appeared). Servility and stupid adherence to the thoughts of Princess Mary Alexeyevna dislike Chatsky, as well as the transformation of Moscow's husbands by their wives into erranded boys, incapable of independent actions.
Chatsky expects that there will be young people who will not need any rank or rank: they will be carried away by science or art; That finally there will be minds who need knowledge. That's what Chatsky is up against and what he defends. It will be a long time, when everything that is dear to him, will begin to be implemented slowly. But the main future is for him.
