Protagonist - titular adviser MakarDevushkin, 49 years old. Despite the title, he rewrites paper for a penny for one of the departments of St. Petersburg. The hero is optimistic about life: huddling behind a partition in the kitchen of a common apartment, he describes housing as a “new apartment”. He has to save on everything in order to pay for the living of his distant relative Varvara Dobroselova, which Devushkin takes care of voluntarily. He rarely sees her, although he took her up to her upbringing at the age of seventeen.
The story "Poor people" summary is reducedto the presentation of the letters - the only almost way to communicate between Makar and Varenka. On paper, they pour out their souls to each other and hope for a bright future. In order to buy chocolates for Vare, Devushkin denies food and light, explaining that to her only "fatherly affection." However, go to Vare embarrassed.
Makar describes the poverty in which he lives andwhich is ashamed. The relative for whom she lives, Anna Feodorovna, the “benefactor”, who offered the orphan to the landlord Bykova, leads out the alarm for him at Varenka. Now Devushkin should protect, take out Varenka, who had been unconscious for almost a month after the violence.
В одном из писем девушка излагает историю своей youth The former teacher of Varenka, whom he described in the story “Poor People” by Dostoevsky - Peter, who was once a student, seemed to Vare to be the kindest person, but his attitude towards his father who visited him was surprising. It was a matter of the drunkenness of an old man, of the same petty official, for whom the tyrant Bykov betrayed the beautiful mother of Peter. At the insistence of the same Bykov young man was learned and sent to Anna Feodorovna for bread. Here he met Varenka, took up her taste and upbringing.
Alas, the misfortune befell the old father:Peter fell ill and died of consumption. His books went to the drunkard, who filled his pockets with them and ran after the cart with the body of the deceased, sobbing and dropping folios into the mud. Vare is doubly difficult - her mother dies shortly after Peter.
By the end of June, Makar had run out of savings,and he had to move out. There is an unpleasant incident with a search officer who pushes Makar down the stairs. Neighbors chuckle at the role of Varenka in his life.
All attempts to borrow at interest are completed.by failure. In response, Devushkin tells about his fate, but in the story “Poor people” a brief summary conveys only the main points: he has been in the service for thirty years, sits quietly and does not lean out, his only joy now is Varenka. He meets with her during the walk and admires every thought expressed by the book, including Pushkin's “Stationmaster”. But Gogol's "Overcoat" offends the feelings of the official, as if his "underwear had been turned inside out."
At the same time, the girl comes to wooBulls, who wants to have legitimate heirs, to deprive the money of his nephew. Varya agrees - this is her only way to save her name. Makar is beside himself with grief, but helps the pupil to collect a dowry. On his wedding day, he confesses to Varenka that he wrote and worked for her alone, so “by what right do human life destroy”?
This is a summary. “Poor people” is a work that is a benchmark for the work of the great Dostoevsky.
