General assessment of the comedy, the author's skill: “Comedy is distinguished by its youthfulness, freshness, and stronger vitality from other works of the word. She is like a hundred-year old man, around whom everyone, having outlived their time in turn, is dying and falling down, and he walks, vigorous and fresh, between the graves of old and the cradles of new people. A.I. Goncharov "A million torments" 1874
Characteristics of the characters: V. G. Belinsky in the article “Woe from Wit” about comedy (1840): About Chatsky: “... what kind of deep person is Chatsky? This is just a screamer, a phrase-monger, an ideal buffoon. This is the new Don Quixote, the boy on the stick above, who imagines he is sitting on a horse.”
I.A. Goncharov “A Million of Torments” 1874 “...“ Woe from Wit ”appeared before Onegin, Pechorin, survived them, passed unharmed through the Gogol period, lived these half a century from the time of its appearance and everything lives its imperishable life, will survive and many more eras and everything will not lose its vitality.
Comparison of Chatsky's appearances in Famusov's house and his meeting with Sofya: V. G. Belinsky "Woe from Wit" "Chatsky is a man of the world and a deep person: from here the decency and poetry of his meeting with Sofya should come out." “Your will is not secular. Not smart and not aesthetically!
The language of the comedy A.S. Pushkin “Letter to Bestuzhev” 1825: “I’m not talking about poetry - half should be included in proverbs” V.G. Odoevsky: “almost all the verses of Griboedov’s comedy have become proverbs ...” I.A. 1870: Salt, epigram, satire. This colloquial verse. It seems that it will never die, like myself, sharp and caustic scattered in them, like a living Russian mind ... "
Conclusion: 1. All authors are unanimous in their opinion about the great talent of A.S. Griboyedov, the creator of the “immortal comedy”; 2. All authors are unanimous in their assessment of the language of comedy, half of them entered the proverbs of the Russian language. 3. All authors are unanimous in their opinion about the reality of Chatsky's character in the Famus society. 4. The relevance of comedy at the present time.
Goncharov’s appeal from the early seventies of the XIX century to our days: “Every word that needs updating causes the shadow of Chatsky - and whoever the figures are, no matter what human business is about - whether it will be a new idea, a step in science, in politics, in war - neither people grouped, or there was no getting away from two motives of struggle: from the advice to study, looking at the elders, on the one hand, and from the thirst to strive from routine to a "free life" forward and forward - on the other. That's why Griboedov's Chatsky has not grown old so far and will almost never grow old, and with him the whole comedy.
