For a long time it was believed that the Russian land rests on the righteous. Real righteous people lived without money, selflessly helped other people and did not envy anyone. Fully fits this description Matryona from Solzhenitsyn's story "Matryona's Dvor".

Matrena Vasilievna is a righteous and pure woman who lived in a small village near a railway crossing. In his youth, Fadey wooed her, but he was taken to war. Matryona was waiting for his return, but three years later Efim, Fadey’s brother, wooed her. Fadey unexpectedly returned from captivity - and was worried for a long time. He said that he would have killed his fiancée if she had not been his brother's wife.

Matryona lived well, but she was unlucky with her children. Her children died one after another - and not one of the babies survived. In 1941, her husband was drafted into the active army - and he never returned home. At first Matryona waited for her husband, and then accepted his death. To brighten up her loneliness, Matryona Vasilievna took in Fadey’s youngest daughter, Kira, to raise her. She selflessly looked after the girl. When Kira grew up, she married her to a train driver in a neighboring village.

After the pupil’s departure, Matryona’s house became empty and sad, and only ficus trees brightened up the poor woman’s loneliness. She selflessly loved these plants - and even during a fire she saved not the hut, but the ficuses. Out of pity, Matryona sheltered a lanky cat, who lived with her for many years.

Notable was the fact that Matryona worked her whole life on the collective farm for the ticks that the foreman put on the report card. Because of this, she did not receive a labor pension. Only after much work did Matryona manage to secure a pension for herself. As soon as she had money, it turned out that Matryona Vasilievna had three sisters.

After some time, Fadey arrived and asked for a room for Kira. Matryona donated her room for construction - and also diligently helped remove the logs.

When, due to the greed of the tractor driver and Fadey, the second cart got stuck at the crossing, Matryona rushed to the rescue. She always helped others unselfishly, so she could not accumulate much good. Those around her and relatives considered Matryona sloppy and mismanagement. And, unfortunately, no one appreciated the honesty, kindness and sacrifice of this righteous woman.

Matryona is a symbol of kindness and sacrifice, which is very rare in modern people. In our world, business acumen and the ability to make money are valued, but such good-natured people die with a smile on their sweet face. They know the true value of life, so material wealth does not play any role for them. Our land rests on the righteous, but we do not appreciate this.

The image of a righteous woman in Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor”

I. The meaning of the word “righteous.”

II. Life or living?

1. Life of Matryona.

2. Death of Matryona.

3. Those around us in the mirror of Matryona’s life and death.

III. What remains for people?

A village does not stand without a righteous man.

Russian proverb

A righteous person is a fair, correct person who strictly observes the laws of morality. The heroine of A. I. Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor” probably did not consider herself a righteous woman, she simply lived the way her compatriots and fellow villagers lived.

Righteousness

A person is defined by what kind of life he lived, what death he died, what he taught people, what word they will use to remember him after his departure.

Matryona's life was similar to the lives of thousands of her compatriots. The difficulties of the war and post-war times forced people to experience common pain; suffering was supposed to unite people, a common misfortune to make them purer, kinder, more righteous. But this was not the case with everyone, because you can blame your own sins on war and difficult life - they say, we are not bad, life is bad.

No one would envy Matryona's fate. Not waiting for her husband to return from the war, she went to his brother - and suffered all her life

With the consciousness of her guilt, akin to betrayal, she reproached herself for her sin... And the whole sin was that she pitied Thaddeus’s family, who were left without help. She gave birth to six children - and not one survived.

Kira raised the daughter of her ex-husband. And all the wealth she acquired was a strong upper room, a dirty white goat, ficus trees and a lanky cat. Her fellow villagers restrainedly condemned her: she never kept a pig, “didn’t chase after breeding...

I didn’t struggle to buy things and then cherish them more than my life. I didn’t bother with outfits. For clothes that embellish freaks and villains...” And so she died in poverty.

Death puts everything in its place, sums up human life. What will Matryona the Righteous leave as a legacy to her loved ones, what word will they remember her with, how will they remember her? They remembered, first of all, that now there was no one to help dig the garden, to “plow themselves with a plow” - the deceased helped everyone, did not take any payment.

What can we do now without her help? The best friend, who has been friends with Matryona for half a century, shyly asks to give her the “gray knit” promised to Matryona. Thaddeus is worried about one thought: he must take away the remaining logs, otherwise they will disappear. They argue about the hut: who will get it - the sister or the adopted daughter.

Crying for the deceased takes place according to all the rules, but ostentatious grief for Matryona, who died because of the greed of several close people, is combined with an attempt to justify oneself: “...And why did you go to where death was guarding you? And no one invited you there! And I didn’t think about how you died!

And why didn’t you listen to us?... (And from all these lamentations the answer stuck out: we are not to blame for her death, but we’ll talk about the hut later!).”

Matryona is buried and buried according to all the rules: the priest conscientiously conducts the Orthodox service, and is commemorated according to custom (“Eternal Memory,” as it should be, is sung before the jelly!). And they are proud that everything is done like a human being...

Matryona left, “misunderstood and abandoned even by her husband, who buried six children, but did not have a sociable disposition, a stranger to her sisters, sisters-in-law, funny, foolishly working for others for free...” And only two people mourn Matryona sincerely: “not at all ritually,” the adopted daughter Kira sobs bitterly, like a woman, wisely and calmly, non-vainly, “a strict, silent old woman, more ancient than all the ancients” speaks about her death, the guest experiences sincere pain.

Yes, Matryona’s life is not the life of a saint. Not everyone was able to appreciate Her righteousness; many condemned her, but did they forget? She will live in the memory of her adopted daughter, her life lessons will not be forgotten by the teacher who shared her shelter for a short time... And that’s all?

But is it really about how they evaluate you, what they say about you? The point is how you live your life, whether you can remain human, what page you write in the book of life.

The image of the righteous man is found in many works of Russian literature. This image can be found in Leskov’s work “The Enchanted Wanderer”, in Chingiz Aitmatov’s “The Scaffold”, and of course in Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor”.

In the work “Matryona’s Dvor,” the righteous woman is the main character of the book, Matryona. Matryona is an honest and kind woman. Her fate decreed that Matryona's fiancé, Thaddeus, went to war and disappeared without a trace, and she had to marry his brother. The children who were born to them quickly died, and Matryona could not find the joy of motherhood. Suddenly Feddey returned from the war, he was ready to kill them both, but then he reconciled. Thaddeus married, he and his wife gave birth to many children, one of his daughters, Kira, was taken into custody by Matryona and raised as her own.

All her life Matryona lived for the sake of others: she helped the collective farm, her neighbors, but none of them reciprocated her feelings. She helped people unselfishly, no matter what, she did not lose faith in people and in the truth and continued to help everyone. Matryona's whole life is work, he saved her from despair, she worked for two. She was always at peace with her conscience, she was calm, she lived in harmony with herself, Matryona had nothing to reproach her for.

Matryona's righteousness lies in her ability to compassion, the ability to forgive, and to see a way out of difficult situations. Matryona was never greedy, greedy, selfish, did not seek benefit for herself. Everyone wanted to get rich at the expense of the main character; even before her death, they began to dismantle and transport Matryona’s room; while transporting logs, it was cut up by a passing train. At her funeral, everyone cried and wailed just because it was necessary. No one even said a kind word about her, many condemned her, but how much good she did to all these people.

Matryona was killed by someone else's selfishness and greed - the eternal destroyer of life and humanity, which makes victims of everyone.

In A. I. Solzhenitsyn’s story “Matrenin’s Dvor,” the image of the righteous man is key.

The author of the work does not immediately reveal the true essence of the main character. At first glance, Matryona appears to the reader as a simple rural resident with her own worries and “oddities” - the desire to constantly help people.

It is this trait that is the most important in the village righteous woman.

Matryona was one of the few who was always ready to help free of charge. Often people did not even appreciate such participation (“All the reviews about Matryona were disapproving... she was... stupid, she helped strangers for free”). Since the righteous woman lived for others, she cared least about herself (“...she was unclean, and did not pursue wealth...”).

Matryona was a supporter of the ancient way of life. The main character was devoted to traditions and was suspicious of all innovations. The narrator calls Matryona a pagan, “superstition took over in her.” The righteous woman in the image of A.I. Solzhenitsyn is religious, but in her own way. And she perceived the whole world around her differently from everyone else.

The righteous woman in this work is an honest, kind and selfless woman. Everything in Talnovo rests on the main character, because the village is a place filled with traditions and antiquity, and Matryona can be called their keeper. Also, this woman is the personification of a sinless and pure soul, capable of helping her neighbor.

The main character Matryona was a righteous woman, as she lived according to moral values. To some extent, we can say that the woman lived according to the Bible. She didn’t wish harm on anyone, helped everyone, but never gained anything in her life. But she lived according to her conscience.

Matryona's fate was terrible. Previously, she loved one person, but life decreed otherwise and the woman married her lover’s younger brother. There was a war in the country, but this was not the worst thing for Matryona. The woman was destined for a terrible fate. She was left without a husband, and besides, she buried six children. She gave all her love to her adopted daughter Kira.

They said about Matryona that she was living the wrong life. She has been around for many years, but she still hasn’t gained anything. She just didn’t need material wealth; for her, the main thing was the soul. But none of his friends and relatives missed an opportunity to take advantage of Matryona’s help. She selflessly helped everyone and never refused anyone.

When she died, it seems to me that no one even pitied her. Everyone immediately rushed to discuss how she lived and who would get the house. Only Kira cried bitterly for her. All people thought about who would help them now. How will they live without Matryona? It feels like the whole village rested solely on this woman.

Solzhenitsyn didn’t just come up with this image. He wanted to show that there are practically no such righteous people left. People live only to please themselves and think about profit. There are few people who, like Matryona, selflessly help others.
