(276 words) D. Fonvizin - a famous Russian writer, whose works do not lose their relevance to this day. No wonder the problems raised by the author are still the subject of controversy. What kind of argument is this, and why is it eternal?
"Undergrowth" is a comedy that has gathered a whole list of acutely social problems: education, upbringing, ignorance and despotism in relation to people around. The Prostakov family has absorbed all the common vices that still exist among people. For example, Mitrofanushka wants to “get married soon” rather than “learn”. Such education was given to him by his mother, Mrs. Prostakova, who did not personally educate her son and instilled in him such qualities as laziness, idleness and excessive pampering. Such behavior will fully justify it in the eyes of the mother, who "does not have a soul in him." The problem raised by the author is that the heroes do not see their deplorable position until it gets out of control. So in life everyone knows how to and don’t behave, but they don’t want to be critical of themselves and begin to get rid of flaws.
Another problem is the cruel treatment of serfs. Madame Prostakova treats them rudely and arrogantly, while with the guests she is courteous and kind. Such behavior speaks of wrong moral ideals and a desire to benefit from communication with "gentlemen". If the problem of serfdom has outlived itself, then hypocrisy and greed have remained untouched, as well as social inequality. Many people, like the heroine of Fonvizin, willingly pushed down by lower-ranking colleagues or poor people from their circle, but they flatter and sucker to their higher and wealthy acquaintances.
Despite the "horrors of life" described by the author, there is still a way out - a new system of education that will lead to the formation of a moral principle. It is precisely this “salvation” for a society of any time, which is why Sophia is a vivid example of such a conclusion of the writer.
