The tragic circumstances that led Katerina to death.

The drama "The Thunderstorm" is the pinnacle of Ostrovsky's work. In his work, the writer shows the imperfection of the patriarchal world, the influence of the order on the morals of people, he reveals before us society with all its vices and shortcomings, and at the same time he introduces into the drama a hero different from this community, alien to it, reveals the influence of society on this person, how the character enters the circle of these people. In "The Thunderstorm" this new, different from the others hero, "ray of light" becomes Katerina. She belongs to the old patriarchal world, but at the same time enters into irreconcilable conflict with it. Using her example, the writer shows how awful it is to be in the "kingdom of despots and tyrants" for a person with such a pure soul as Katerina. The woman comes into conflict with this society, and, along with external problems, internal contradictions are brewing in Katerina's soul, which, together with fatal circumstances, lead Katerina to suicide. Katerina is a woman with a strong character, but meanwhile, even she cannot resist the "kingdom of tyrants and despots." Mother-in-law (Kabanikha) is a rude, domineering, oppressive, ignorant nature, she is closed to everything beautiful. Of all the characters, Marfa Ignatievna exerts the strongest pressure on Katerina. The heroine herself admits: “If it weren’t her mother-in-law! .. She crushed me… from her I got sick of the house: the walls are even disgusting”. Kabanikha constantly accuses Katerina of almost all mortal sins, reproaches and finds fault with her with or without reason. But Kabanikha does not have the moral right to mock and condemn Katerina, because the inner qualities of her son's wife in their depth and purity cannot be compared with the hardened, callous, low soul of Marfa Ignatievna, and meanwhile Kabanikha is one of those through whose fault Katerina comes to thoughts of suicide .. After the death of the main character, Kuligin says: "... the soul is now not yours: it is before a judge who is more merciful than you." Katerina cannot come to terms with the oppressive, oppressive atmosphere that reigns in Kalinov. Her soul strives for freedom at any cost, she says, "I will do whatever I want," "I will leave, and I was like that." With her marriage, Katerina's life turned into a living hell, this is an existence in which there are no joyful moments, and even love for Boris does not relieve her of melancholy. In this "dark kingdom" everything is alien to her, everything oppresses her. She, according to the customs of that time, did not marry of her own free will and to an unwelcome person whom she would never love. Katerina soon realized how weak and pitiful her husband was, he himself could not resist his mother, Kabanikha, and, naturally, was not able to protect Katerina from constant attacks from her mother-in-law. The main character tries to convince herself and Varvara that she loves her husband, but nevertheless later confesses to her husband's sister: "I feel sorry for him very much." Pity is the only feeling she has for her husband. Katerina herself understands perfectly well that she will never love her husband, and the words she uttered when her husband left (“how I would love you”) are words of despair. husband, in order to prevent a disaster, a thunderstorm, the approach of which she feels, is vain and useless. Tisha does not heed her, he stands next to his wife, but in his dreams he is already far from her - his thoughts about drinking and walking outside Kalinov's border, he himself says to his wife: "I can't understand you, Katya!" Why should he "make out" it! Katerina's inner world is too complicated and incomprehensible for people like Kabanov. Not only Tikhon, but also his sister Godr-rit Katerina: "I don't understand what you are saying." In the "dark kingdom" there is not a single person whose spiritual qualities would be equal to Katerinins, and even Boris, a hero singled out by a woman from the whole crowd, is not worthy of Katerina. Her love is a stormy river, his own is a small stream that is about to dry up. Boris is only going to take a walk with Katerina during Tikhon's departure, and then ... then it will be seen. He is not too concerned about how the hobby will turn out for Katerina, Boris is not even stopped by Kudryash's warning: "You want to ruin her completely." At the last meeting, he says to Katerina: "Who knew that we should suffer so much for our love with you," because at the first meeting the woman told him: "Ruined, ruined, ruined." The reasons that prompted Katerina to commit suicide are hidden not only (and not even so much) in the society surrounding her, but in herself. Her soul is a precious stone, and the invasion of foreign particles is impossible. She cannot, like Barbara, act according to the principle "if only everything was sewn and covered", she cannot live keeping such a terrible secret in herself, and even confession in front of everyone does not bring her relief, she realizes that she will never atone for himself, and cannot come to terms with it. She did not take the path of sin, but she will not aggravate it by lying to herself and everyone, and understands that the only deliverance from her mental anguish is death. Katerina asks Boris to take her to Siberia, but even if she runs away from this society, she is not destined to hide from herself, from remorse. To some extent, Boris understands this and says that "only one thing and we must ask God to die as soon as possible, so that she does not suffer for a long time!" One of Katerina's problems is that "she can't cheat, she can't hide anything." She can neither deceive nor hide from herself, much less from others. Katerina is constantly tormented by the consciousness of her sinfulness. Translated from Greek, the name Catherine means "always pure", and our heroine, of course, always strives for spiritual purity. All kinds of lies and untruths are alien to her, even when she finds herself in such a degraded society, she does not betray her inner ideal, she does not want to become the same as many people of that circle. Katerina does not absorb dirt, she can be compared to a lotus flower that grows in a swamp, but, in spite of everything, blooms with unique snow-white flowers. Katerina does not live to see a lush bloom, her half-open flower wilted, but no poisonous substances penetrated it, he died innocent.

Drama Thunderstorm is the pinnacle of Ostrovsky's art. In his work, the writer shows the imperfection of the patriarchal world, the influence of the order on the morals of people, he reveals to us society with all its vices and shortcomings, and at the same time he introduces into the drama a hero different from this community, alien to it, reveals the influence of society on this person, the way the character enters the circle of these people. In Thunderstorm, Katerina becomes a new, different from the others hero, a ray of light. She belongs to the old patriarchal world, but at the same time comes into irreconcilable conflict with it. Using her example, the writer shows how awful it is to be in the kingdom of despots and tyrants for a person with such a pure soul as Katerina. A woman comes into conflict with this society, and, along with external problems, internal contradictions are brewing in Katerina's soul, which, together with fatal circumstances, lead Katerina to suicide. Katerina is a woman with a strong character, but meanwhile even she cannot resist the kingdom of tyrants and despots. Mother-in-law (Kabanikha) is a rude, domineering, oppressive, ignorant nature, she is closed to everything beautiful. Of all the characters, Marfa Ignatievna exerts the strongest pressure on Katerina. The heroine herself admits: If it weren’t her mother-in-law! .. She crushed me ... she made me sick of the house: the walls are even disgusting. Kabanikha constantly accuses Katerina of almost all deadly sins, reproaches and finds fault with her with or without reason. But Kabanikha does not have the moral right to mock and condemn Katerina, because the inner qualities of her son's wife in their depth and purity cannot be compared with the hardened, callous, low soul of Martha Ignatievna, and meanwhile Kabanikha is one of those through whose fault Katerina comes to thoughts of suicide. After the death of the main character, Kuligin say: ... the soul is now not yours: all the works on it are before a judge who is more merciful than you. Katerina cannot come to terms with the oppressive, oppressive atmosphere that reigns in Kalinov. Her soul strives for freedom at any cost, she says what I want, I will do so, I will leave, and it was like that. With her marriage, Katerina's life turned into a living hell, this is an existence in which there are no joyful moments, and even love for Boris does not relieve her of melancholy. In this dark kingdom everything is alien to her, everything oppresses her. She, according to the customs of that time, did not marry of her own free will and to an unwelcome person whom she would never love.

Pity is the only feeling she has for her husband. Katerina herself understands perfectly well that she will never love her husband, and the words she uttered when her husband left (how I would love you) are words of despair. Katerina was already seized by another feeling of love for Boris, and her attempt to grab hold of her husband in order to prevent misfortune, a thunderstorm, the approach of which she feels, is vain and useless. Tisha does not heed her, he stands next to his wife, but in his dreams his thoughts about drinking and walking outside Kalinov are already far from her, he himself says to his wife: I cannot understand you, Katya! How could he disassemble it? Katerina's inner world is too complicated and incomprehensible for people like Kabanov. Not only Tikhon, but also his sister say to Katerina: I don't understand what you are saying. In the dark kingdom there is not a single person whose spiritual qualities would be equal to Katerinins, and even Boris, the hero, singled out by a woman from the whole crowd, is not worthy of Katerina. Her love is a stormy river, his own little stream, which is about to dry up. Boris is only going to take a walk with Katerina during Tikhon's departure, and then ... then it will be seen. He is not too worried about how the hobby will turn out for Katerina, Boris is not even stopped by Kudryash's warning: you want to ruin her completely. On the last date, he says to Katerina: Who knew that we should suffer so much for our love with you, because at the first meeting the woman said to him: Ruined, ruined, ruined. The reasons that prompted Katerina to commit suicide are hidden not only (and even not so much) in the society surrounding her, but in herself.

She embarked on the path of sin, but she will not aggravate it by lying to herself and everyone, and understands that the only deliverance from her mental anguish is death. Katerina asked Boris to take her to Siberia, but even if she ran away from this society, she was not destined to hide from herself, from remorse. To some extent, Boris, perhaps, understands this and says that only one thing should be asked of God, so that she would die as soon as possible, so that she would not suffer for a long time! One of Katerina's problems is that she cannot deceive, she cannot hide anything. She cannot deceive or hide from herself, much less from others.
