The essay “Woe from Wit” is the fruit of Griboyedov’s thoughts about the fate of Russia. How was the historical conflict of eras reflected in Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit”? The time reflected in the work Woe from Wit

In the comedy “Woe from Wit” Griboedov tells the story of the life of noble Moscow in the 19th century. This is the time when the orders of the old, Catherine’s era are changing to a new one, in which a person does not want to put up with the backwardness of the country, wants to serve his homeland without demanding ranks and awards. Chatsky is such a person, and his relationship with Famus society is the main conflict in the comedy.
Representatives of Moscow society are: old woman Khlestova, Prince and Princess Tugoukhovsky, Khryumin, Skalozub, Sophia, Molchalin, Gorich, Zagoretsky, Repetilov and

Other. The life of this society is busy with dinners, balls, card games and gossip. They oblige and flatter before their superiors, and their attitude towards serfs is very cruel: they are exchanged for dogs, separated from their relatives and sold individually.
The main representative of Moscow society is Famusov. What interests him most about people is their social status. Therefore, for his daughter he wants a husband with “stars and ranks.” In his opinion, Skalozub is ideally suited for this role, who “is both a gold bag and aspires to be a general.” Famusov is not bothered by Skalozub’s mental limitations or his martinet manners. However, despite all her father’s efforts, Sophia chooses Molchalin.
Molchalin is young and energetic, he has his own “philosophy of life” - “to please all people without exception.” Personal gain and self-interest come first for him. He does not have his own opinion on anything: “At my age I should not dare to have my own opinion.” To achieve his goals, Molchalin pretends to be in love with Sophia.
The opposite of Molchalin is Chatsky. Griboyedov portrayed Chatsky as a bright representative of the “present century.” A young nobleman, not rich, fairly educated, has his own opinion on many problems of our time. He rebels against serfdom, an empty way of life, unreasonable upbringing, and dishonest service.
But since the rest of the heroes of the comedy belong to the “past century,” they simply do not understand Chatsky. Everything he talks about is alien to Famusov’s society. If for Molchalin it is considered normal to serve others, then Chatsky says: “I would be glad to serve, but it is sickening to be served.” And if there are people who understand him, for example Gorich, then they are simply afraid to go against public opinion. When society declares Chatsky crazy, he is forced to leave Moscow.
Thus, the nature of the main conflict in the comedy lies in Chatsky’s opposition to Famus society. As a result of this confrontation, Chatsky found himself completely alone. His accusatory monologues do not evoke sympathy among those present, and all of Chatsky’s “million torments” turn out to be in vain. However, it is not. The fact is that in the image of Chatsky, Griboedov portrayed progressive people who want to serve the Fatherland.
