N.V. Gogol "Nevsky Prospekt": analysis of the work
Many writers of the XIX century in their works described St. Petersburg. The fact is that this city is not quite ordinary, it was created at the whim of one person, but contrary to all the laws of nature. It took quite a bit of time to build it, it grew, as if by magic. Petersburg for many became the embodiment of contradictory human qualities, a symbol of the struggle of beauty with ugliness, wealth with poverty. To show the city in all its manifestations, Gogol wrote "Nevsky Prospekt". The analysis of the work shows the reincarnations of Petersburg.
Description of the city's heart
Gogol (the theme of human vices affected in the work), the capital turned into a living giant with his character, appearance, whims and habits. During the day thousands of people pass along the avenue, but, except for the meeting place, they do not have anything in common. The writer shows how the same place looks the same day. Specific persons are absent, only details of the general external appearance are inherent.
The story of two people with opposite characters
Gogol's novel "Nevsky Prospekt" tells about two characters. The lieutenant is ready to take risks, he is perfectly oriented in reality, therefore he is ready to lose everything in order to subdue the merciless Petersburg. The artist is very modest, delicately feels the world, he can not just forget about the hopes broken by the avenue, in a moment become gross and callous.
