Wild biography
The quotes of the Wild from the play “Thunderstorm” the story of the character in the play “Thunderstorm” not a single character appears by accident. Each of them was introduced by the author into the work to convey one or another idea. For example, the negative hero Savel Wild. Creating a character The story of the creation of the play “Thunderstorm” began with the journey of Alexander Ostrovsky along the Volga.
Here, the playwright with his own eyes saw the features of the life of the Russian province. He recorded everything that looked curious. For example, various situations, conversations of citizens. Subsequently, this became the basis of the work. Alexander Nikolaevich introduced into the play the image of Savel Prokofievich to demonstrate the negative features of a certain layer of society.
In the person of this character, the author showed the essence of people who sin with a limited horizons, meagerness, admiration for ranks, bribery and desire exclusively for their own benefits. Savel Wild - a collective image, denouncing the then flaws of both a separate person and the whole society. In the character of this typical tyrant, the author collected the most negative characteristics.
Ostrovsky ridicules him, emphasizing the attitude to others, which is necessarily accompanied by rudeness and rudeness. And only in the case of a collision with someone who is able to repulse, the hero immediately falls silent. Obviously, this is a tyrant, but at the same time a coward, the personification of a zealously guarded “dark kingdom”. It is opposed to the “Ray of Light”, which will certainly prevail, because he is not afraid and opposes violence.
It is secured, occupies a high position in the city of Kalinov, owns great savings and gathered a mass of people depending on it. It is not only about the peasantry, but also about a number of other characters. The power of them and complete impunity feels wild, so it looks like an ordinary tyrant. Alexander Ostrovsky talks little about the family of the merchant.
But fragmentary information is enough for their main characteristic to develop. Everyone lives in fear of Savel Prokofievich. She fears that he will once again come into rabies - and in this state anyone risks falling to his arm. Wild has two minor daughters, but even less information about them. The heroines flash only episodically - the play speaks of pity for them from others.
People sympathize with the girls that, due to a young age, they are not able to escape from their father’s influence. This is a more significant figure in the play. He appears in Kalinov to pick up a part of the inheritance that he relied on the law from his uncle. But the greedy merchant is in no hurry to part with the means. But, since the author draws a portrait of a typical representative of the merchants of that time, it can be assumed, this is a mature man, strong, in Russian clothes, with a beard.
Savel is not fond of wild. Science with politics, according to its life attitudes, is harmful things. The merchant is in the grip of prejudices and believes in signs. At the request of Kuligin for help in the creation of a lightning rod, Samodur responds with a sharp refusal, citing the fact that with “God's sign” it is worthless to cope with all sorts of similar means.
The wild has a consumer attitude to life. Only money has meaning for him. The greedy provincial merchant loves them selflessly, accumulates, tries to do everything for the sake of holding them in the wallet. He does not pay salaries to the peasants, and if they begin to persistently bend it, the issuance is accompanied by screams and abuse.
Rough and ignorant, Savel Prokofievich does not commit a single plausible act in the entire play. At the same time, he enjoys such a life, without experiencing remorse for his own vile deeds, and does not see anything wrong with the features of his attitude towards others. Read also Ansrovsky in life and works: the facts about the playwright and his work of the Wild Relations with those around the Wild in the “Thunderstorm” appear a number of characters, each of which the relationship between the merchant form according to a special scenario.
As a rule, their character entirely depends on what level of prosperity is in a person. For example, it refers to Marf Kabanova well. This merchant is the same influential citizen as Savel Wild, and is like him with stupidity and ignorance. At first, the hero at first looks at Katerina with complete indifference. But gradually contempt for the girl is growing in him, because she dared to oppose the prevailing life structure and to love the wrong one.
Savel Prokofievich treats Kuligin with caution. Here, from the Wild, you should not wait for the usual swearing. He shunes more than a tradesman who chatting incessantly, preventing the merchant and insert the words. All skirmishes occur mainly from its presentation. If the opponent gives him a rebuff, he gives up, but then breaks the anger at loved ones.
When Prokofievich is trying to reason, he does not even think of listening - he simply starts to scold and swear. Aggression is a property inherent in stupid people. The main feature of the Wild speech is thoughtless abuse, the use of such offensive words as “ezuit”, “darmoed”, “aspid”, etc.Only one type of communication is available to him - with insults and humiliations. The coming to the merchant for money will certainly be drugged, even if Savel Prokofievich is obliged to pay.
Wild on the screen, the first film adaptation of the play dates from a year. This is the film of Kai Hansen, which is still related to the era of silent cinema. It repeats the plot of the work of Ostrovsky, but information about the performers of secondary roles, for example, wild, has not been preserved. The figures of Soviet cinema turned to the classics of Russian literature in the year - they removed a new adaptation.
In M, the only performance based on the play recorded on the film was released with Boris Telegin in the role of wild. Finally, in the year they shot an ambiguous, according to the audience and critics, a movie based on Ostrovsky’s drama. The plot is preserved, but the action is transferred to the present. In the image of Wild, actor Alexei Makarov appeared. Interesting facts in the play used talking surnames and names.
For example, translated from the Greek name Katerina means "pure." Barbara is a hint of wild and ignorant barbarians, her brother Tikhon is a quiet and limp Mamenkin son. As for the wild, the meaning of the name of the hero and his surname with an emphasis on the second syllable is also not accidental. The play regularly finds indications of his stupidity, craving for swearing, ignorance.
Ostrovsky wrote a drama at a time when influential rich and tyranny prevailed in the country. And Savel Wild just belongs to this class, confident that everything is allowed to him. Talented Russian writers constantly ridiculed them, contrasting the peasants, standing on the social steps lower, but look like smart and developed personalities. It is symbolic that for the first time wild is mentioned in the play with a swearing and waving hands in front of everyone.
By the way, such behavior at that time looked unacceptable - the people lived on the "housekeeper" and believed that it was impossible to take out the CROs from the hut. His whole image is filled with foul language and bile. Curses regularly pour in the address of the inhabitants of Kalinov: "Yes, you, damned, at least you will introduce anyone into a sin." Humiliation of people gives the hero the greatest pleasure in life.
For example, he expresses Kuligin: "So you know that you are a worm." Savel Wilder feels limitless power over people and willingly uses it, doing everything that will embroider in his stupid head. An example is the quote: "I want - I will have mercy, I want - I will crush it."
