Milon brief biography

Prostakov estate. Prostakova tried on the son of a caftan, sewn by a serf tailor-school, scolding him for ineptness. The caftan was sewn to Skotinin’s engagement. Prostakova was going to marry her brother to Sofya, without asking the consent of the girl. The only relative of Sophia, his uncle, left for Siberia and disappeared. Prostakova took advantage of this and took the girl’s estate to her hands.

She settled Sophia at herself, treated her strictly and unfairly. Prostakov felt sorry for the girl, but he did not dare to object to the harsh wife. Skotinin did not like the girl, wanted to marry her for the sake of huge pigs, who are bred in her estate. Prostakov’s advertising discussed Skotinin’s engagement when a joyful Sophia entered and said that she had received a letter from her uncle.

Prostakova did not believe that his uncle was alive. How did not die! What are you confusing grandmother? Do not you know that for several years he was remembered from me and in the memo for the rest? It’s really that my sinful prayers did not reach! None of the Prostakov knew how to read. Three teachers have been going to Mitrofan for four years, including a real German, but the guy could not learn to read and count.

Not trusting the girl, Prostakova asked to read the letter of her guest Pravdin. Uncle wrote that he had returned from Siberia, where he was very rich, and now he intends to take his niece to himself and make her his heiress. Hearing this, Prostakova immediately changed her mind to give out Sophia for her brother and decided to marry her undergrowth Mitrofan. Prostakova’s advertising took Sophia.

A breathless servant ran up to Prostakov and said that soldiers had stopped in their village. Action 2. Meeting of lovers. The struggle for the bride Pravdin met his friend Milon, the commander of the soldier. Pravdin told a friend that his duty was to make sure that the landowners were not cruel with their serfs. He considered Prostakova a fool, and his wife was an evil Furia.

Pravdin had already informed his boss “about all the local barbasm” and hoped that measures would soon take against the arbitrariness of Prostakova. Milon admitted that he loves a girl who had taken her relatives somewhere. He was afraid that his beloved was in the grip of the metabolic. Then Sophia entered, who turned out to be the lover of Milon. Sophia said that Prostakova persuades her to marry Mitrofan.

The girl replied to her that she wanted to enlist her uncle, who should come soon. Think about how unhappy my condition! I could not answer this stupid proposal decisively. To get rid of their rudeness, to have some freedom, I was forced to hide my feeling. Advertising appeared Skotinin, began to complain that his sister called him for marriage, and now he convinces that he did not need his wife.

Pravdin explained to him that Prostakova wanted to marry Sofya Mitrofan. An angry Skotinin attacked Mitrofan with fists. The old nanny protected the cowardly undergrowth and drove away Scotinin. Prostakova entered and asked Sofya to see the room prepared for her uncle. Then the teachers of Mitrofan appeared. Mathematics was taught by a retired soldier, and reading a former seminarist.

Pravdin and Milon left, and Mitrofan complained to his mother at Skotinin, threatening to drown if his uncle touches him. Prostakova scolded the nanny for not taking up the pupil, and led her son, swearing not to lower her eyes off him. Teachers sympathized with a nanny offended for anything. Action 3. The lessons of a stupid undergrowth after dinner arrived old -language, with which Pravdin was signed.

The father of Starodum served at the court of Peter the Great and raised high concepts of duty and honor in his son. Old Duma was angry with Prostakov because of their treatment of Sophia, but life taught him to restrain his impulses. Advertising once he served at court and was friends with a young count. When the war began, Starodum invited a friend to sign up together in the army, but he refused.

Old Duma fought and was wounded, and the count who served at court bypassed him in the ranks. Then I saw that between random people and people venerable people sometimes immeasurable difference is that premium souls are found in a large light and that with great enlightenment you can be a great skiconda. The insulted old -language resigned, after which he did not serve at court for long.

He did not like the duplicity and meanness of the courtiers, and he left for Siberia, where he earned his condition with hard work. He believed that he had to restrain himself and not resign, because he could still benefit the Fatherland. Sophia joyfully met her uncle. He was also glad to see the daughter of the only sister. Old Duma decided to make her his heiress, believing that his children should break through in life themselves.

Then a fight between Prostakova and Skotinin began, Milon was distinguished them. Seeing Starodum, Prostakova began to swap in front of him, forced Mitrofan to kiss his hand. This was not touched by the old Duma, he stated that tomorrow he would take Sophia to Moscow and find her a good groom. However, he was not going to force her to marry, believing that the girl should love her chosen one.

Prostakov was encouraging this.She said that her father and her father did not teach anything, but Mitrofan “doesn’t get up for days because of the book,” and offered to see how her son was studied. Starodum refused, and he took him to the room prepared for him. Mitrofan teachers remained in the room. They scolded the Germans for preventing them from crushing science into the empty head of a short -lived.

Mitrofan and Prostakova returned. Undergrowth did not want to study, but wanted to marry, but the lessons still began. Mitrofan could not add 10 and 10 and did not read a line. Prostakova interfered with stupid comments. Then the German appeared and said that Mitrofan would go out into people without studying, the main thing is not to contact smart people. When Prostakova and his son left, the teachers almost beat the German.

Action 4. The exam is undergrowth. The criminal plan of Prostakova briefly detailed retelling of the old -thought brought with Sophia a long moralizing conversation about honor, respectability, good and evil, wealth, court morals, his wife’s duties and was convinced that his niece completely shares his views. The husband is prudent! Wife virtuous! What can be more respectable!

It is necessary, my friend, so that your husband obey the mind, and you will be completely prosperous to your husband.

Advertising was interrupted by the servant: he brought the old -grandmother a letter from Moscow from the count, a friend of Starodum. He married Sophia for his nephew and reported that the young man would lead a detachment of soldiers to Moscow just past the estate of Prostakovs. Before Starodum could talk about this with his niece, Pravdin and Milon came. Uncle immediately guessed that the young officer was the Count's nephew.

Having talked with him, Starodum was convinced that Milon is a worthy, brave man, values ​​his honor. It turned out that Mother Sophia loved him as a son, and he often visited their house. Milon admitted that he and Sophia have long loved each other, and asked the old -dodes of the girl's hands. Uncle with joy blessed the lovers. Then Skotinin appeared and demanded that Old Duma take Sophia for him.

His extreme stupidity and strange love for pigs made his uncle and Pravdin laughed. Then the Prostakovs came and began to match Sophia for Mitrofan. For the sake of Old Duma of Fun, I decided to verify the scholarship of the under -road. It turned out that Mitrofan does not know what a noun and adjective is, but never heard of history and geography. The advertisement of Staroda rejected both grooms and stated that Sophia was already engaged to Milon.

Despite this, Prostakova decided to insist on her own. She planned unkind and ordered the servants to be on duty at the door of Sophia. Action 5.
