Summary Chekhov "Peresolil." The slavish thinking of peasants
A.P. Chekhov "Peresolil" wrote in 1876. Like all the stories of the early period, this one stands out with carefree humor and deep hidden meaning. Anton Pavlovich despised all sorts of "shortcuts" and did not understand the adherence of contemporaries to any ideas. Therefore, the writer increasingly in his works appealed to "simple" events, ordinary people, people's lives without jewelry and conjectures. The story "Peresolil" at first glance does not stand out as anything special, but if you look closely, you can see a huge number of problems taken from Russian reality.
Description of the poverty of Russian villages
Gleb Gavrilovich really succeedsto agree with one of the peasants. A pockmarked, silent, hefty, dressed in a sleaze - that's how the brief describes the driver. Chekhov "Peresolil" wrote to show not only the poverty of ordinary peasants, but their manner of acting. The horse of the peasant was, although young, but very thin, the cart started only with the fourth whip, which once again emphasizes Russian sluggishness and natural laziness.
Excessive cowardice of the surveyor
Chekhov "Peresolil" wrote for the purpose of showingslavish mentality of the peasants, because Clim did not doubt for a moment that his fellow traveler had weapons. When the cart entered the forest, Smirnov became very frightened, he began to take heart, to say that four more comrades were following him, that he would not even mind fighting fighters. The driver was impressed about the meeting of the surveyor with the three robbers story. Chekhov "Peresolil" wrote to show how long the peasants will depart from serfdom.
Unexpected outcome
Only after two hours the hoarse surveyor cried outto the driver and persuaded him to continue the journey. Clim grumbled that if he knew that this would happen, he would not have gone for any money, because the master frightened him to death.
