Korolenko is kept in bad company. The story "In a bad society"

To convey summary“In a bad society” a few trivial sentences are not enough. Despite the fact that this fruit of Korolenko’s creativity is usually considered a story, its structure and volume are more reminiscent of a story.

On the pages of the book, a dozen characters await the reader, whose fate will move along a track rich in loops over the course of several months. Over time, the story was recognized as one of the best opuses from the writer’s pen. It was also reprinted many times, and several years after the first publication it was slightly modified and published under the title “Children of the Dungeon.”

Main character and setting

Main character works - a boy named Vasya. He lived with his father in the city of Knyazhye-Veno in the South-Western region, populated mainly by Poles and Jews. It would not be out of place to say that the city in the story was captured by the author “from nature.” Exactly the second is recognizable in the landscapes and descriptions half of the 19th century century. The content of Korolenko’s “In a Bad Society” is generally rich in descriptions of the world around us.

The child's mother died when he was only six years old. The father, busy with judicial service and his own grief, paid little attention to his son. At the same time, Vasya was not prevented from getting out of the house on his own. That is why the boy often wandered around his hometown, full of secrets and mysteries.

Lock

One of these local attractions was which formerly served as the count's residence. However, the reader will find him not in better times. Now the walls of the castle are destroyed due to impressive age and lack of maintenance, and its interior spaces chosen by the poor of the immediate surroundings. The prototype of this place was the palace that belonged to the noble Lyubomirsky family, who bore the title of princes and lived in Rivne.

Scattered, they did not know how to live in peace and harmony due to differences in religion and conflict with the former count's servant Janusz. Exercising his right to decide who had the right to remain in the castle and who did not, he showed the door to all those who did not belong to the Catholic flock or the servants of the former owners of these walls. The outcasts settled in a dungeon, which was hidden from prying eyes. After this incident, Vasya stopped visiting the castle, which he had visited before, despite the fact that Janusz himself called the boy, whom he considered the son of a respected family. He didn't like how the exiles were treated. The immediate events of Korolenko's story "In a Bad Society", a summary of which cannot do without mentioning this episode, begin precisely from this point.

Meeting in the chapel

One day Vasya and his friends climbed into the chapel. However, after the children realized that there was someone else inside, Vasya’s friends cowardly ran away, leaving the boy alone. In the chapel there were two children from the dungeon. It was Valek and Marusya. They lived together with the exiles who were evicted by Janusz.

The leader of the entire community hiding underground was a man named Tyburtius. A summary of “In Bad Society” cannot do without its characteristics. This personality remained a secret to those around him; almost nothing was known about him. Despite his penniless lifestyle, there were rumors that the man had previously been an aristocrat. This guess was confirmed by the fact that the extravagant man quoted ancient Greek thinkers. Such an education did not in any way correspond to his common appearance. The contrasts gave the townspeople reason to consider Tyburtius a sorcerer.

Vasya quickly became friends with the children from the chapel and began to visit them and feed them. These visits for the time being remained a secret to others. Their friendship also withstood such a test as Valek’s confession that he steals food in order to feed his sister.

Vasya began to visit the dungeon itself while there were no adults inside. However, sooner or later such carelessness was bound to give the boy away. And during his next visit, Tyburtsy noticed the judge’s son. The children were afraid that the unpredictable owner of the dungeon would throw the boy out, but he, on the contrary, allowed the guest to visit them, taking his word that he would remain silent about the secret place. Now Vasya could visit his friends without fear. This is the summary of “In Bad Society” before the start of dramatic events.

Dungeon Dwellers

He met and became close to other exiles of the castle. These were different people: former official Lavrovsky, who loved to tell stories incredible stories from your past life; Turkevich, who called himself a general and loved to visit the windows of eminent residents of the city, and many others.

Despite the fact that they were all different from each other in the past, now they all lived together and helped their neighbors, sharing the modest life they had built, begging on the street and stealing, like Valek or Tyburtsy himself. Vasya fell in love with these people and did not condemn their sins, realizing that they were all brought to such a state by poverty.

Sonya

The main reason why the main character ran into the dungeon was the tense atmosphere in his own home. If his father did not pay any attention to him, then the servants considered the boy a spoiled child, who, moreover, constantly disappeared in unknown places.

The only person who makes Vasya happy at home is his younger sister Sonya. He loves the four-year-old, playful and cheerful girl very much. However, their own nanny did not allow the children to communicate with each other, because she considered her older brother bad example for the judge's daughter. Father himself loved Sonya much more than Vasya, because she reminded him of his deceased wife.

Marusya's disease

With the onset of autumn, Valek's sister Marusya became seriously ill. In the entire work “In Bad Society,” the content can be safely divided into “before” and “after” this event. Vasya, who could not calmly look at his friend’s serious condition, decided to ask Sonya for the doll that her mother left behind. She agreed to borrow the toy, and Marusya, who had nothing of the kind due to poverty, was very happy about the gift and even began to recover in her dungeon “in bad company.” The main characters did not yet realize that the outcome of the whole story was closer than ever.

Secret Revealed

It seemed that everything would work out, but suddenly Janusz came to the judge to denounce the inhabitants of the dungeon, as well as Vasya, who was noticed in unfavorable company. The father was angry with his son and forbade him to leave the house. At the same time, the nanny discovered the doll was missing, which caused another scandal. The judge tried to get Vasya to confess where he goes and where his sister’s toy is now. The boy only replied that he had indeed taken the doll, but did not say what he did with it. Even the summary of “In Bad Society” shows how strong in spirit Vasya was, despite his young age.

Denouement

Several days passed. Tyburtsy came to the boy’s house and gave Sonya’s toy to the judge. In addition, he talked about the friendship of such different children. The father, struck by the story, felt guilty before his son, to whom he did not devote time and who, because of this, began to communicate with beggars who were not loved by anyone in the city. Finally Tyburtsy said that Marusya had died. The judge allowed Vasya to say goodbye to the girl, and he himself gave money to her father, after giving advice to escape from the city. This is where the story "In Bad Society" ends.

The unexpected visit of Tyburtsy and the news of Marusya’s death destroyed the wall between the main character of the story and his father. After the incident, the two of them began to visit the grave near the chapel, where the three children met for the first time. In the story “In Bad Society,” the main characters were never able to appear all together in one scene. The beggars from the dungeon were never seen in the city again. They all suddenly disappeared, as if they had never existed.

I. Ruins

The main character is the boy Vasya, who lives in the town of Knyazhye-Veno. His mother died when he was six years old. After the death of his wife, the father was not very involved in raising his son.

On a hill among ponds there is an abandoned castle inhabited by beggars. Somehow a conflict occurs between them, as a result of which a group of homeless people find themselves on the street. An old servant named Janusz, who once served the count, the owner of the house, remained living in the castle. Catholics and several other servants settled with Janusz.

II. Problematic natures

Those who were expelled moved to live in a dungeon near an abandoned chapel. This group was headed by Pan Tyburtsy. Little was known about this man's past. Some considered him a sorcerer, others thought that this man was of noble blood, although in appearance he looked like a commoner. Tyburtsy has adopted children. This is the boy Valek and Marusya, his sister. Janusz invites Vasya to visit the castle, but the guy is prettier than Valek and Marusya.

III. Me and my father

Janusz reproaches Vasily for hanging out with bad company.

Vasya remembers his mother, reflects on his father and his sister Sonya, with whom he became very close after the death of their mother.

IV. I'm making a new acquaintance

Vasily goes to the chapel with friends, but they were afraid to go inside and run away. The boy goes inside alone and meets Valek and Marusya there. Brother and sister invite Vasya to visit them more often and meet secretly so that their father does not find out.

V. The acquaintance continues

Vasya regularly visits his new friends. He notices that the girl’s health is deteriorating. Tyrbutsy believes that it is Kamen who is sucking away his daughter’s health. Life in a damp dungeon cannot but affect children's poor health.

VI. Among the "gray stones"

Vasya witnesses his new comrade stealing a bun to feed Marusya. Although Vasya very much condemns Valek’s action, pity takes over. He also feels sorry for the ill Marusya. At home Vasya is crying.

VII. Pan Tyburtsy appears on stage

Vasya meets Pan Tyrbutsy. This happens by chance, but then the boy and the man become friends. Janusz complains to the judge about bad company.

VIII. in autumn
Marusya is getting worse. Vasya visits new friends.

IX. Doll

Hoping to somehow please Marusya, Vasily asks his sister Sonya for a doll. This happens without the father's knowledge. The loss is discovered. The boy does not dare to take new toy to your friend. She, delirious, clings to her as her last hope. Vasily's father does not let him leave the house.

Everything is resolved when Tyrbutsy brings the doll home to Vasily. He tells Vasya’s father about his son’s acquaintance with other children and reports that Marusya has died. Vasya's father allows his son to leave to say goodbye to the deceased.

Conclusion

After these events, Pan Tyrbutsy and his son leave the city. Almost all homeless people disappear along with them. Sonya, her brother and her father visit Marusya’s grave. When children become adults, they leave the city. Before leaving, the brother and sister come to the girl's grave and say their vows.

Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko

"In Bad Society"

The hero's childhood took place in small town Knyazhye-Veno of the South-Western Territory. Vasya - that was the boy's name - was the son of the city judge. The child grew up “like a wild tree in a field”: the mother died when the son was only six years old, and the father, consumed by his grief, paid little attention to the boy. Vasya wandered around the city all day long, and pictures of city life left a deep imprint on his soul.

The city was surrounded by ponds. In the middle of one of them on the island stood old castle, which once belonged to the count's family. There were legends that the island was filled with captured Turks, and the castle stood “on human bones.” The owners left this gloomy dwelling a long time ago, and it gradually collapsed. Its inhabitants were urban beggars who had no other shelter. But a split occurred among the poor. Old Janusz, one of the count's former servants, received a certain right to decide who can live in the castle and who cannot. He left only “aristocrats” there: Catholics and the former count’s servants. The exiles found refuge in a dungeon under an ancient crypt near an abandoned Uniate chapel that stood on the mountain. However, no one knew their whereabouts.

Old Janusz, meeting Vasya, invites him to come into the castle, because there is now “decent society” there. But the boy prefers the “bad company” of exiles from the castle: Vasya feels sorry for them.

Many members of the "bad society" are well known in the city. This is a half-mad elderly “professor” who always mutters something quietly and sadly; the ferocious and pugnacious bayonet-cadet Zausailov; a drunken retired official Lavrovsky, telling everyone incredible tragic stories about his life. And Turkevich, who calls himself General, is famous for “exposing” respectable townspeople (police officer, secretary of the district court and others) right under their windows. He does this in order to get money for vodka, and achieves his goal: those “accused” rush to pay him off.

The leader of the entire community of “dark personalities” is Tyburtsy Drab. His origins and past are unknown to anyone. Others suggest that he is an aristocrat, but his appearance is common. He is known for his extraordinary learning. At fairs, Tyburtsy entertains the audience with lengthy speeches from ancient authors. He is considered a sorcerer.

One day Vasya and three friends come to the old chapel: he wants to look there. Friends help Vasya get inside through a high window. But seeing that there is someone else in the chapel, the friends run away in horror, leaving Vasya to the mercy of fate. It turns out that Tyburtsiya’s children are there: nine-year-old Valek and four-year-old Marusya. Vasya begins to often come to the mountain to visit his new friends, bringing them apples from his garden. But he only walks when Tyburtius cannot find him. Vasya does not tell anyone about this acquaintance. He tells his cowardly friends that he saw devils.

Vasya has a sister, four-year-old Sonya. She, like her brother, is a cheerful and playful child. Brother and sister love each other very much, but Sonya’s nanny prevents their noisy games: she considers Vasya a bad, spoiled boy. My father shares the same view. He finds no place in his soul for love for a boy. Father loves Sonya more because she looks like her late mother.

One day, in a conversation, Valek and Marusya tell Vasya that Tyburtsy loves them very much. Vasya speaks of his father with resentment. But he unexpectedly learns from Valek that the judge is a very fair and honest person. Valek is a very serious and smart boy. Marusya is not at all like the playful Sonya; she is weak, thoughtful, and “cheerless.” Valek says that “the gray stone sucked the life out of her.”

Vasya learns that Valek is stealing food for his hungry sister. This discovery makes a grave impression on Vasya, but still he does not condemn his friend.

Valek shows Vasya the dungeon where all the members of the “bad society” live. In the absence of adults, Vasya comes there and plays with his friends. During a game of blind man's buff, Tyburtsy unexpectedly appears. The children are scared - after all, they are friends without the knowledge of the formidable head of the “bad society”. But Tyburtsy allows Vasya to come, making him promise not to tell anyone where they all live. Tyburtsy brings food, prepares dinner - according to him, Vasya understands that the food is stolen. This, of course, confuses the boy, but he sees that Marusya is so happy about the food... Now Vasya comes to the mountain without hindrance, and the adult members of the “bad society” also get used to the boy and love him.

Autumn comes, and Marusya falls ill. In order to somehow entertain the sick girl, Vasya decides to ask Sonya for a while for a large beautiful doll, a gift from her late mother. Sonya agrees. Marusya is delighted with the doll, and she even feels better.

Old Janusz comes to the judge several times with denunciations against members of the “bad society.” He says that Vasya communicates with them. The nanny notices the doll is missing. Vasya is not allowed to leave the house, and after a few days he runs away secretly.

Marusya is getting worse. The inhabitants of the dungeon decide that the doll needs to be returned, and the girl will not even notice. But seeing that they want to take the doll, Marusya cries bitterly... Vasya leaves her the doll.

And again Vasya is not allowed to leave the house. The father is trying to get his son to confess where he went and where the doll went. Vasya admits that he took the doll, but says nothing more. The father is angry... And at the most critical moment Tyburtsy appears. He is carrying a doll.

Tyburtsy tells the judge about Vasya’s friendship with his children. He is amazed. The father feels guilty before Vasya. It's like a wall has collapsed for a long time shared father and son, and they felt like close people. Tyburtsy says that Marusya died. The father lets Vasya go to say goodbye to her, while he passes through Vasya money for Tyburtsy and a warning: it is better for the head of the “bad society” to hide from the city.

Soon almost all the “dark personalities” disappear somewhere. Only the old “professor” and Turkevich remain, to whom the judge sometimes gives work. Marusya is buried in the old cemetery near the collapsed chapel. Vasya and his sister are taking care of her grave. Sometimes they come to the cemetery with their father. When the time comes for Vasya and Sonya to leave their hometown, they pronounce their vows over this grave.

The main character of the work, Vasya, is the son of a city judge. The boy's mother died. They lived with their father in the small town of Knyazhye-Veno in the Southwestern region.

The father paid almost no attention to his son. Grief overshadowed everything for him. After the death of his mother, Vasya felt lonely. He spent time on the streets of the city, absorbing pictures of his life, listening to legends.

The city was surrounded by ponds. In the middle of one of them there was a castle. Once upon a time there lived a count's family. Legend says that the castle was built on the bones of their people, and the island itself was formed by captured Turks, with whom the island was covered.

The owners-counts have not been in this castle for a long time. The beggars of the city now live in this gloomy dwelling. Only over time did disagreements begin between them. The former count's servant began to divide the inhabitants into his people and strangers. Everyone who was expelled by Janusz moved to the dungeon under the old crypt on the mountain near the Uniate chapel. The chapel had long been abandoned, and no one knew about the inhabitants of this dungeon.

Vasya Yanush invited him to the castle, because all the decent people live there, but the boy prefers a different society, for which the boy feels pity.

The dungeon brought together well-known people: an elderly professor, a pugnacious bayonet cadet, a drunken retired official who told tragic stories. Turkevich called himself a general. All he does is denounce noble residents of the city under the windows of their houses in order to get money for vodka.

This society is headed by Tyburtsy Drab. Nobody knows anything about this man. In appearance, he comes from the common people, but due to his erudition, they see him as an aristocrat. Drab entertains the public at fairs with conversations about ancient authors, which is why he became known as a sorcerer.

Vasya and his three friends wanted to see the dungeon. The boy, with the help of his friends, gets inside through the window. Frightened, the friends run away. Vasya saw a four-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy in the dungeon. Marusya and Valek are children of Tyburtsiya. So Vasya made new friends. He often goes to them when no one is in this home. He told his friends that he had met the devils.

Vasya also has a sister, Sonya, whom the boy loves very much. Sonya's nanny prohibits children from noisy games. She believes that Vasya is a bad influence on his sister. My father has the same opinion. He loves the girl too much, because she looks like his late wife. There was no place left in his heart for his son.

One day Valek and Marusya spoke warmly about their father. They talked about his love for them. Vasya could not say this about his father, but the guys knew him as an honest and fair judge. Valek is a serious man beyond his years, and Marusya is pale and thoughtful. Valek said it was from a gray stone. Vasya found out that Valek was stealing food for his sister. No, he didn't blame him. It was just hard for him.

One day Tyburtsy found the children playing. Scared children are allowed to be friends as long as no one finds out about the dungeon. The head of the society brings food. Vasya understands that it was stolen, but Marusya’s joy dispelled all his embarrassment. The boy is treated well by all members of this society.

In the fall, Marusya fell ill. Vasya, in order to bring joy to the girl, asked Sonya for a large doll, which her late mother gave her. Sonya gave her the doll, and Marusya felt even better. Janusz informed the judge that Vasya was communicating with members of “bad society.” The nanny noticed the doll was missing. Vasya was locked at home, but one day the boy runs away. Marusya becomes very ill, but when they wanted to take the doll, the girl began to cry. She kept the doll.

Vasya had to confess where he goes and where the doll is. And at that very moment Tybutsky brought a doll and talked about the children’s friendship. The line of misunderstanding between father and son disappeared. They become close friends. The father lets his son go to Marusya’s funeral, and at the same time gives money to Tyburtsy, and also says that he should leave the city for a while.

In bad company

The hero's childhood took place in the small town of Knyazhye-Veno in the Southwestern Territory. Vasya - that was the boy's name - was the son of the city judge.

Chapter 8 Korolenko's story in a bad society continues chapter by chapter with the fact that with the onset of autumn, the girl's illness only worsened. Every day her condition worsened. Vasya now began to come at any time. One day Vasya saw his father talking to Janusz. It was difficult to understand whether it was about beggars or about Vasya. Vasya told Tyburtsy the conversation he overheard, but he said that his father was fair and always acted within the law. Again Vasya felt proud of his father and at the same time sad, because his father did not love his son. Chapter 9 The girl is very bad. In order to somehow amuse Marusya, Vasya asks his sister for a doll and she agrees to temporarily lend it to Marusya. The girl was delighted with such a gift, she even cheered up. Vasya, on the other hand, started having problems because of the doll. The father began to suspect something, he forbids his son to leave the house, but Vasya runs away.

One more step

The prototype of this castle was the palace of the noble Lyubomirsky family, who bore the title of princes living in Rivne. These two couples could not live in understanding and harmony because... they had different religions, as well as a conflict with the counts serving - Janusz. And this same Janusz had the right to decide who is now allowed to live in the castle, and who should leave.
The old servant leaves selected “aristocrats” to live there, and the outcasts settled in the dungeon. Vasya visited this building very often. Janusz invited him to his place, but the boy was more drawn to the exiled ones, he felt sorry for them. Many of those outcasts were famous people. Among them were: a half-mad elderly “professor”; bayonet cadet Zausailov; alcoholic and retired official Lavrovsky; General Turkevich, but the leader of all these people is Tyburtsy Drab.
His entire biography is covered in uncertainty. One day Vasya and his friends came to a dilapidated church.
