The magnificent work of Alexander Pushkin tells not only about the fate of the Dubrovsky landlords, who, due to a quarrel with their neighbors, lost their estate and normal life, but this story, above all, is about love. The main characters of Pushkin's plot are Masha and Vladimir, who, by coincidence, are the children of those very neighbors, the landowners Dubrovsky and Troekurov, who staged a lawsuit among themselves and became enemies.
Maria Troekurova is a well-mannered and pleasant girl who is pretty. It so happened that the girl's mother died when she was just a child. This left an imprint on the development of the girl, she began to spend a lot of time in nature, admiring the beautiful Russian landscapes. Hence her dreaminess, sensitivity and attentive attitude to everything that surrounds her. Maria is a personality that the author shows as harmoniously developed and purest.
That is why the relationship between Maria Kirillovna and her landowner father Kirill Troekurov was so difficult. Despite the fact that the girl loved and even adored her father, she was in no hurry to share some of her thoughts and opinions with him. Yes, the girl was meek and obedient, but she was cut off from her father, since he could not become her friend, so the girl never asked his advice in anything.
Kirilla Petrovich himself loved his daughter very much, but his treatment of her was not always good. And this was due to his wayward character. So he could always cater to her whims and quirks, but suddenly, unexpectedly, his attitude towards his beloved and only daughter changed to cruelty and rudeness. He understood that his daughter loved him, but he wanted to achieve more, to become her friend, but it didn’t work out for him, and, at times, it drove him crazy, pushing him to rash and senseless actions.
Another hero of Pushkin's work, Vladimir, was brought up not so much by his father as life itself taught him lessons. His mother also died early, and his father, not knowing what to do with his young son, sent him to a boarding school, and then to the guards. Sometimes the son came to his father, saw his character and way of life, respected his father, but there was no trusting relationship between them. When trouble happened to his father, Vladimir, without hesitation, left the service, his cheerful and wild life in St. Petersburg and arrived at his family estate, where he found his father dying.
Having learned about the lawsuit by a neighbor, having immediately lost both his father and parental shelter, he becomes a “noble” robber. The main task that the young Dubrovsky set for himself is to take revenge on the neighbor who killed his father. At first, he simply robbed rich people on the roads, helping the poor, and then, seeing Troekurov's daughter, falling in love with her, he decides to enter the house of his enemy. He learns that a music teacher is going to the girl's half-brother, so he pretends to be him.
So the young hero ended up in the Troyekurovs' house, began to spend a lot of time with the heroine, and soon Masha also fell in love with him, as soon as she got to know him better. She noticed in him both nobility, and determination, loyalty and courage. But most of all, the girl was captivated by the fact that she found in him a person who could understand her without words, who understood the movement of her soul.
And when she finds out that the Frenchman Deforge is the young robber Dubrovsky, then, a little frightened, she does not give up her love. But Vladimir is noble not only on the roads, where he robs and punishes only the rich, but the guilty. He, loving himself, and seeing that Masha also loves him, personally admits to her that he is Vladimir Dubrovsky, that he is an enemy of her father, and that the police are looking for him for robberies on the roads. Vladimir, who behaves boldly and honestly on the roads, in relations with Masha turns out to be modest, timid, vulnerable and restrained.
For her sake, he is ready to give up revenge, to forgive her father. The young hero understands that happiness, which is built on deceit, cannot have a future. Duty and honor for the main Pushkin character are not just words, they have a very deep meaning for him.
But the girl's father decides the fate of his daughter in his own way. When Maria Kirillovna finds out that he is going to marry her to another rich man, she agrees to run away with Dubrovsky. But fate is against them. Heroes meet many obstacles on their way, and the result of this is an unsuccessful escape. But Masha, just like her fiancé, also perceives a sense of responsibility, honor and duty. In this they are very similar to the young hero. And for the sake of her honor and the fulfillment of her duty, no matter how terrible it is for the girl, Maria Kirillovna is ready to sacrifice her love, although this will bring her suffering and pain.
This work ends tragically and sadly, where Vladimir, a little late, stops the carriage, where Masha and her husband are leaving the church after the wedding. But now the girl cannot be with him when she still loves. She is given before God to another man, and is going to keep it holy.
Last week, a friend called me, all exhausted and tortured: for a week now, she and her sixth-grader son could not write an essay on Dubrovsky. She asked for help... To my shame, I didn't read Dubrovsky. I didn't read anything at all. school curriculum except for The Master and Margarita. In total, for all 10 classes - only one book by Bulgakov ...
Meanwhile, without exception (!) My compositions were "on the top five". How it turned out - I'll never know :) And the literature teacher, Lyudmila Ivanovna, seeing my excellent written thoughts and considering me a literary flea, therefore never asked verbally. That's all 10 school years I also had an annual five in literature. And she went to the diploma, yes, sir ...
Returning to "Dubrovsky": it was at 10 pm, and my dear, beloved friend, so there was nothing to do - I climbed into my favorite lib.ru to look for "our everything". I ran my eyes through the last two chapters of the work, read the plot on Wikipedia, wrote an essay. The next day, the son of a friend brought home an "A" in literature (which I had no doubt about).
I'm posting it here in case it might come in handy for some other cub. Enjoy! I, if necessary, will slap more ...

An essay about
« The love story of Masha and Vladimir"
(based on the work of A.S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky")
“Bear with dignity what you cannot change.”
Lucius Annaeus Seneca
On the pages of A.S. Pushkin "Dubrovsky" I met with two romantic heroes- Masha Troekurova and Vladimir Dubrovsky. The fates of these heroes have a lot in common: they are about the same age, both lost their mothers early, grew up as the only children in the family.
Masha "grew up in the eyes of her parent", "her father loved her to the point of madness." Masha was meek, modest, obedient.
Vladimir Dubrovsky was brought up in the Cadet Corps from the age of eight, from where he graduated as a cornet in the guards. Lived in Petersburg. “Being wasteful and ambitious, he allowed himself luxurious whims; played cards and went into debt, not worrying about the future, and foreseeing sooner or later a rich bride, the dream of poor youth. However, having learned from the nanny that his father was bad, he immediately dropped everything and went home. Having appeared in the house, he decided to take revenge on the master Kirill Petrovich Troekurov, who, by vile deceit, took the Kistenevka estate from Vladimir's father, Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky.
Heading to his sick father, Vladimir saw Masha and fell in love. In an effort to be closer to her, Dubrovsky ended up in the Troekurovs' house under the guise of a French teacher, Deforge. In the house, he was treated with respect as a teacher, especially after the case when Vladimir, at the cruel joke of the owner of the house, was locked in the same room with a bear. And if before everyone who was so laughed at fell into fear, then Vladimir, on the contrary, showed courage and determination in this situation. He defeated the angry bear.
Before the incident with the bear, Masha, despite Vladimir's good disposition towards her, treated him coolly. She did not pay "any attention to the young Frenchman ..., the teacher was for her a kind of servant or artisan, and the servant or artisan did not seem to her like a man." Meanwhile, the brave act of Vladimir, who did not lose his head in a fight with a bear, and his words that he does not intend to endure an insult, for which, by his rank, he cannot demand satisfaction, made a strong impression on the young lady. For the first time, she looked at Vladimir not as a servant, but as worthy of respect, and perhaps love of a cavalier. Masha "saw that courage and proud pride did not exclusively belong to one class - and since then she began to show respect to the young teacher, which became more attentive from hour to hour." We can say that it was the story with the bear, in which Vladimir showed all the strength of his spirit and strong character, that became the beginning of his mutual love with the young lady.
Dubrovsky is honest. He openly admitted to Masha that he was a robber, and at the same time promised to be devoted to her and offered his help.
Meanwhile, Masha's father, Kirill Troekurov, decided to marry his daughter to an elderly prince. Masha, who was in love with Vladimir, of course, was against marriage, but because of her modesty she could not openly contradict her father. And then the case came when Masha decided to use the help of Dubrovsky. She waited for salvation from him until the very last moment. Even during the wedding in the church, Masha still hoped for Vladimir's help. Help came, but too late ... By the time Dubrovsky arrived to help along with his robber friends, Masha was already married and became the wife of the prince she did not love. Despite her feelings for Dubrovsky, Masha did not change the oath taken in the church. Accustomed to obedience, modest and restrained, she answered Vladimir in this way: “I swore an oath, my prince is my husband, order to release him and leave me with him. I didn't cheat. I've been waiting for you last minute... But now, I tell you, it's too late now." Realizing that her fate was decided, that Dubrovsky could not help her, and that she would forever become the wife of another, Masha did not rush away at the first opportunity. She met with dignity new life, having measured both with the will of the father, and with marriage.
Yes, and Vladimir himself also resigned himself to fate, adequately meeting Masha's refusal and no longer insisting on her release. He again retired to the forest, to his robber friends, and then completely disappeared abroad.
This is how the love story of Masha and Vladimir began and ended.
» A. S. Pushkin speaks of honor and meanness, love and hatred, nobility and meanness.
One of the important storylines novel is the history of the relationship between Vladimir Dubrovsky and Masha Troekurova. The fates of these heroes have much in common. They both lost their mothers early and were deprived of sufficient parental affection and warmth. One was brought up far from home, the other lived with her father, but, avoiding manifestations of his hot and unpredictable temper, she preferred to retire with books, rather than open her feelings to her parent.
Vladimir knew Masha as a child, and she "at that time already promised to be a beauty." Going to the call of old Yegorovna to his sick father, Dubrovsky Jr. saw Masha again and fell in love. This love prevailed over hatred and the thirst for revenge. And despite the fact that Masha's father, Kirila Petrovich, was the first enemy of Vladimir, the culprit of all his misfortunes, noble robber refuses to raid Pokrovskoye.
Dubrovsky appears at Troekurov's house under the guise of a young teacher, a Frenchman Desforges, who at first does not arouse any interest in Marya Kirilovna. “Brought up in aristocratic prejudices,” she did not perceive him not only as a man, but also as an object worthy of attention. “The teacher was for her a kind of servant or artisan,” says the author, “but the servant or artisan did not seem like a man to her.”
The daring fun of her father helped Masha see in Deforge a courageous and courageous person. Left alone with the bear, Vladimir did not lose his head at all, he pulled out a pistol and shot the hungry beast in the ear. The “Frenchman” explained his act, unexpected for everyone, by the fact that he “does not intend to endure resentment.” This really shocked Masha. It was about such a hero that she dreamed after reading French novels.
The robbery of Anton Pafnutich forced Dubrovsky to flee the Troekurovsky house. Not wanting to be known as a scoundrel, Vladimir decides to explain himself toMasha, reveal to her the truth about yourself. Dubrovsky's note aroused ambivalent feelings in Masha: on the one hand, she was curious and pleased, on the other, the teacher put her in an awkward position by inviting her to a night meeting. Nevertheless, Masha agreed. The heroine was waiting for a declaration of love, but heard a terrible confession: "I am not a Frenchman Deforge, I am Dubrovsky." Vladimir once again demonstrated courage and nobility, but this was a real blow for Marya Kirilovna. Returning to her room, she sobbed for a long time "in a fit of hysteria." All her hopes for happiness were dashed. Forced into hiding, Dubrovsky promises to be devoted to Masha and offers her his help and protection. Marya Kirilovna really needed it when Prince Vereisky appeared. The estate of Prince Vereisky, a wealthy landowner, was only thirty miles from Pokrovsky. Returning from overseas old prince, not accustomed to solitude, already on the third day went to dinner at Troekurov's. Vereisky looked much older than his years, but he was nevertheless quite pleasant, and amiable at that. He knew the world very well, and he quite quickly managed to win the attention of Kirila Petrovich and Masha, who live in the wilderness, with his stories about him.
Arbatovo impressed the Troyekurovs with its beauty, cleanliness, and elegance. The day in the company of Vereisky, speaking with "feeling and imagination" not only about the paintings from his gallery, but also on any topic, flew by unnoticed. Marya Kirilovna felt at all times light and at ease, as if she had known the prince for a long time. Vereisky, indeed, disposed to himself. He surprised his guests with excellent cuisine, real fireworks, and brass music. Kirila Petrovich perceived all this as signs of respect for himself, but Masha did not think about anything and was simply happy.
However, "the old red tape was struck by her beauty" at first sight and skillfully weaved his nets around the young beauty. Without hesitation for a long time, he went to woo her. The gullible and naive Masha did not expect this at all. In an instant, from a charming interlocutor, Vereisky turned for her into a disgusting and hated old man. Marriage with him frightened her "like a chopping block, like a grave." All hopes to persuade the greedy father and Vereisky himself to refuse the wedding were in vain. Masha's tears and pleas touched no one, and in desperation she began to seek Dubrovsky's help.
Help came, but it was too late. The wedding took place, and to Vladimir's words about freedom, Marya Kirilovna replied that she could not break the oath given to God. And this is Pushkin's ideal of a woman - faithful and devoted, in spite of everyone and everything. Masha's act is striking in its high morality, integrity of character and courage.
It’s a pity for Vladimir, a pity for Masha, but nevertheless the reader experiences some kind of bright feeling in the finale of the novel, and it is caused by the determination and uncompromising nature of the young girl.
One of the important storylines of the novel is the love story of Dubrovsky and Troekurova.
A wedding is going on in a cold empty church. Masha Troekurova is given in marriage to an unloved man much older than her. Neither the tears nor the pleas of the girl touched the father's heart. Masha hoped for a miracle until the last minute. She was waiting: Dubrovsky was about to rush in and upset the wedding. The miracle did not happen, the ceremony was over. The young people got into a carriage and went to the estate of Prince Vereisky. Suddenly the horses stopped, the carriage door opened, and a man in a half-mask turned to the young princess: "You are free, get out." It was Dubrovsky. However, Masha shook her head and mournfully replied that she was now the wife of Prince Vereisky.
... Vladimir Dubrovsky and Masha Troekurova lost their mothers early. They played together as children, and even then Masha promised to be a beauty. Vladimir was given to be brought up in St. Petersburg, and Masha grew up in front of her father. Young people met under sad circumstances.
Vladimir left Petersburg and returned to his father's estate when he learned that Andrei Gavrilovich was dying. In order to take revenge on Kirila Petrovich, Vladimir got a job in Troekurov's house as the tutor of his son Sasha. Hiding under the name of the Frenchman Deforge, Vladimir had the opportunity to be next to Masha. Gradually, Masha realized that she was not indifferent to the young Frenchman. And then she received a note from him with an invitation to come to the gazebo by the stream. Masha was waiting for recognition, and it followed. Dubrovsky revealed to Masha that he was not the Frenchman Deforge at all, but the son of Andrei Gavrilovich Dubrovsky, her father's worst enemy.
How Masha found out that Vladimir was the leader of the local robbers. She also learned that for her sake he had renounced revenge on her father. Dubrovsky could no longer stay in these places, but he asked Masha to remember that he loved her and, if necessary, would always come to her aid.
And now Masha needed the help of a loved one: she was to be married to the old prince of Vereisky. The girl lets Vladimir know about this, but Dubrovsky is late.
Faithful to her duty, Masha cannot follow her beloved: she was married in the church and now belongs to another ... The carriage with Masha and her old husband moved to the prince's estate ...
So the romantic love story of Masha Troekurova and Vladimir Dubrovsky ended sadly.
