Many works were created by the Russian writer F.A. Abramov: "Pelagia" (a summary of the story can be found in this article), "Crossroads", "Woman in the Sands" and others. In each of these works, the author reflects on the difficult fate of a simple person from the people.
In more detail we will consider the story "Pelagia".
Simple life
Outwardly, the life of the main character is monotonous. She is filled with labor, worries about loved ones. Pelagia lives with her husband and daughter, who is just finishing school. Works in a bakery. Her husband is ill, so all the homework lies on her shoulders.
Pelagia must perform all the housework, keep an eye on her daughter, look after her husband, and bake bread.
All her days are filled with this labor.
The daughter does not please the woman. She refuses to help her with the housework, the village life weighs on her, and she likes entertainment and communication with friends and young people.
Here is the main storyline of the novel F.A. Abramov's "Pelagia", a summary of which we have reviewed.
What happens to the main character next?
The result of the life of Pelageya Amosova is just as sad as the fate of her husband. An early death awaits her. The reasons for this sad ending to the fate of this village woman are many.
F. Abramov "Pelagia": the main characters and storyline
Pelagia Amosova loses everything that she lived. Her husband becomes even more ill and eventually dies. Daughter disappears from home. Apparently, the girl falls in love with a young officer and leaves with him in the city, she does not write to her mother, somehow does not want to communicate with her.
Pelagia loses her job. Loneliness, forced idleness and lack of money weigh on her.
I wanted to tell a lot in my story to readers F.A. Abramov. The Pelagia, a brief summary of which can be placed on one typewritten page, is a sad story about the fate of women.
Final death
The main character begins to hurt from longing. And she did not know how. I'm used to caring for my sick husband, taking care of my daughter, working tirelessly. Now she and her work were nobody needs.
Gradually, the vitality leaves the heroine. And she quietly and joylessly dies.
This story is little known today, but meanwhile it has a deep meaning. The author tells us a simple story about a man of work, a woman for whom caring for others has become the meaning of life. Having lost this meaning, the main character loses her life.
