In this article we will get acquainted with the work created by Nikolai Alekseevich Nekrasov in 1863. Let us describe the poem of this great author, its summary. Nekrasov ("Frost, Red Nose") we first discover for ourselves at school. But you can reread the works of this author endlessly.
The poem begins with the following event. A terrible grief in one peasant's hut: the breadwinner and master, Proclus Sevastyanich, died. His mother brings a coffin for his son. Father goes to the cemetery in order to hollow out a grave in frozen ground. Daria, the widow of a peasant, sews a shroud to her late husband.
Russian peasant women
We continue to describe the summary. Nekrasov ("Frost, Red Nose") was always attracted by Russian peasant women. In his works he admired their strength, endurance, courage. There are three difficult parts: to marry a slave, to submit to the tomb of a slave and to be the mother of a slave son. All this fell to the lot of the Russian peasant woman. However, despite the suffering, in Russian villages there are women to whom the dirt does not seem to stick. These beauties bloom in wonder of the world, evenly and patiently enduring both cold and hunger, while remaining beautiful in all clothes, and dexterous in work. They do not like idleness on weekdays, but on holidays their face is lit up with a cheerful smile and such a hearty laugh that you cannot buy for money. A woman in Russia will enter a burning hut, stop a horse on a gallop. In it one can feel both rigorous action and inner strength. The Russian peasant woman is convinced that her salvation is labor. Therefore, she does not spare the wretched beggar walking idle. She is fully rewarded for her work: the peasant's family does not know the need, the children are full and healthy, the hut is always warm, there is an extra piece for the holiday.
The sorrow that befell Daria
Daria, the widow of the deceased Proclus, was just such a woman. But grief now withered her. No matter how hard the girl tries to hold back her tears, they fall on her hands, sewing a shroud. Mother and father, taking their chilled grandchildren, Grisha and Masha, to their neighbors, dress the dead man. No unnecessary words are said, no one shows tears. It seems that the harsh beauty of the deceased, in whose heads there is a burning candle, does not allow crying. And only then, when the last rite has already been completed, lamentations begin.
Faithful Savrasque
Savraska is taking his master on the last journey in a harsh winter morning. The horse served Proclus a lot: both in winter, going with him to the cab, and in summer, during work in the field. Proclus caught a cold, taking up the cab. He was in a hurry to deliver the goods on time. The family treated the breadwinner: from 9 spindles they doused it with water, took it to the bathhouse, lowered it into the ice hole, threaded through the sweaty clamp 3 times, laid it under the chicken rooster, and offered prayers in front of the miraculous icon. But Proclus did not get up.
Daria goes to the forest for firewood
As usual, neighbors cry during a funeral, pity the family of the deceased, praise the deceased, and then go home. Daria, having returned from the funeral, wants to caress and feel sorry for the children, but she does not have time for affection. The peasant woman sees that there is not a log of wood left at home, and, having again taken her children to a neighbor, sets off on the same savrask to the forest.
Daria's Tears
You are reading a summary of the poem by N.A. Nekrasov "Frost, Red nose." This is not the text of the work itself. The poem of Nikolai Alekseevich is written in verse.
On the way through the plain, glistening from the snow, tears appear in Daria's eyes - probably from the sun ... And only when she enters the forest with his grave rest, a crushing howl breaks out of the girl's chest. Indifferently, the forest hears the moans of the widow, hiding them forever in the wilderness. Daria, not having wiped away her tears, begins to chop wood and thinks about her husband, speaks with him, calls him. All this is described in detail by N. Nekrasov. ("Jack Frost"). The summary only conveys the main events of the work.
Prophetic dream
The girl recalls the dream she had before Stasov day. A myriad army surrounded her. Suddenly she turned into rye ears. Daria cried out for help to her husband, but he did not go out. The peasant woman was left alone to harvest rye. She understands that this dream turned out to be prophetic, and asks for help from her husband in overwork, awaiting her. Daria imagines winter nights without Proclus, endless canvases that she will weave for the marriage of her son. Along with thoughts about his son, fear arises that Grisha will be given illegally to recruits, since there will be no one to intercede for him.
Frost Voivode
Nekrasov's "Frost, Red Nose" in summary is continued by the fact that Daria, having folded firewood, goes home. But then, taking the ax mechanically and intermittently, howling quietly, he approaches the pine tree and freezes under it. Then the frost-voivode, who bypasses his possessions, is selected for her. He waves a mace of ice over Daria, calls her to his kingdom, says that he will warm and sip a widow ...
Daria is covered with sparkling hoarfrost, she is dreaming of the recent hot summer. The girl sees in a dream that she is by the river, digging potatoes in the stripes. With her beloved husband, children, a baby beats under the heart, which should be born by spring. Daria, shielding herself from the sun, watches as the cart goes farther and farther. There are Grisha, Masha, Prokl ...
Daria's "Enchanted Dream"
In a dream, Daria hears the sounds of a wonderful song, the last traces of flour leave her face. Her heart quenches this song, in which "continued happiness." In sweet and deep peace, oblivion comes to the widow along with death. The soul of a peasant woman dies for passion and sorrow. Squirrel drops a ball of snow at the girl, and Daria freezes in a "bewitched dream."
This concludes the summary. Nekrasov ("Frost, Red Nose") is called the singer of the Russian people. Many of the works of this author are dedicated to his difficult share. This also applies to the poem that interests us. We begin to sympathize with the fate of the Russian peasant woman, having read even a brief summary. Nekrasov ("Frost, Red Nose") is considered to be one of the greatest Russian poets. The artistic power of this work is amazing. You can verify this by reading the original poem.
