Probably very few people, at least at some pointhis life, did not ask himself why people do not fly like birds. Only in childhood this question is most often caused by natural curiosity and the desire to discover something new. But in adult people, it often occurs during moments of intense emotional excitement, when you just want to take and disappear from the place where you are now. Only here there are no wings ... Outstanding minds were dedicated to the question of why people do not fly, poetry and prose. A striking example of this is the monologue of Katerina, the main heroine of Ostrovsky's play The Storm. What was the meaning of this despairing woman?
The play "Thunderstorm" is deservedly considered one of the mostimportant works of the author. It is full of symbolism. So Katerina's monologue can be taken literally, of course, thinking that the young woman still regrets that the time of carefree youth will not return. But you can argue this way only if you do not read the entire work.
In fact, everything is much deeper!Asked why people do not fly like birds, Katerina, in fact, says that her soul has lost its power, and can no longer soar. If before she thanked God, because she had real happiness, simple and uncomplicated, today she is not that happy girl. From this, Katerina is so hurt. It turns out that her world is falling apart!
A young woman says that earlier the prayer and services in the church were for her happiness, she did not notice the time, because her soul and thoughts were pure.
Once in the family of a spouse, she understands thatReal life has little to do with its ideals. The husband is weak, his mother in law is a complex and not particularly kind person. But she has to adjust and tolerate ... And then in the life of Catherine appears Boris. As a result, the girl becomes even harder, because even when she was very hard, she could turn to God, because she did not feel guilty. And now she is deprived of this, because she clearly understands that her love is sinful.
Here's how you can interpret the question of whypeople do not fly. Katerina's monologue, in fact, is a reflection of why a person can not just take and go wherever he wants. And with whom he wants. The girl understands that they hold her, in principle, not the bonds of marriage. And not the opinion of others, but only confusion in her own soul. Therefore, it is necessary to blame for the death of Katerina, it turns out, not her husband, mother-in-law or beloved, who did not meet expectations. The whole reason is the old way of life, the model of upbringing, which was the basis of the life of a young woman, and which she simply could not replace in her heart.
Of course. But we are in a sense simpler.After all, there are so many different models of behavior and examples of destinies! Anyone who wants to find justification for his desire to "fly" (in other words, to break stereotypes), with a certain effort, can do it without breaking his soul to pieces.
