Mitrofanushka is a worthy fruit of Prostakova’s upbringing. Undeveloped either mentally or morally, at the age of sixteen he does not go beyond the most immediate experiences, and his interests are directed towards food and dovecotes. He is completely under the care of his mother and, not accustomed to thinking for himself, he, while things go on as usual, does not at all feel the need for independent weighing and thinking.
He knows that his mother will take care of him and do better than he did himself.
Therefore, he unquestioningly, without hesitation, obeys
To her in everything, even in such a matter as taking Sophia away and marrying her. Such obedience is mistakenly taken by Prostakova for filial love. But when trouble struck, when his mother lost power and at the same time the opportunity to take care of him, he, like a frightened animal, left to his own devices and unable to act with his mind, hopelessly and stupidly waves his hand and says: “For me, wherever they tell you to.” .
From that moment on, as a protector and leader, his mother no longer exists for him, and he has no other feeling for her. Therefore, when Prostakova, in despair from the misfortune that has broken out, rushes to hug him with a cry: “You are the only one left with me, my dear friend, Mitrofanushka!” - there is absolutely no response to the impulse in his soul mother's love, and he rudely cuts her off: “Go away, mother!”... “That’s evil worthy fruits!” – Fonvizin moralizingly remarks through the lips of Starodum.

Mitrofanushka
Mitrofanushka - main character The comedy of D.I. Fonvizin is a collective image, he is lazy and frivolous, he can be perceived as an allegory of a somewhat weak-minded fool.
Fonvizin worked on the comedy for about three years. The play premiered in 1782. There is also a text, presumably from the early 1760s, on the same topic and with the same title, but with different characters and plot (the so-called “Early Minor”); it is unknown whether this play belongs to the young Fonvizin or to some of his anonymous predecessors.
Like other plays of the era of classicism, “The Minor” is straightforward in its problems. The work is dedicated to the condemnation of the traditional noble upbringing and the “evil morality” and “savagery” of the provincial nobility. Comedy characters are clearly divided into positive and negative, they are given speaking names(Prostakovs, Skotinins, Mitrofan - “manifestation of mother” in Greek, Starodum, Milon, Sophia - “wisdom” in Greek, Tsyfirkin, Vralman, Kuteikin). However, the comedy gained enormous popularity among the public and readers not only because of the skillfully presented socio-political issues, but also because of the extremely vivid and life images negative characters(the positive ones turned out to be more like reasoners conveying the author’s point of view), liveliness of dialogue, humor, many quotes that quickly became proverbial (“I don’t want to study, I want to get married,” “Here are the worthy fruits of evil”), the names of Mitrofanushka and Prostakova became household names.
Mitrofanushka, a runt, the son of the landowners Prostakovs. He is considered a minor because he is 16 years old and has not reached the age of majority. Following the tsar's decree, Mitrofanushka studies, but does it with great reluctance. He is characterized by stupidity, ignorance and laziness (scenes with teachers).
Mitrofan is rude and cruel. He does not value his father at all, mocks teachers and serfs. He takes advantage of the fact that his mother dotes on him and spins her around as she wants.
Mitrofan “stopped” in his development, that is, his character as a mediocre tyrant useless to society can be considered already formed. Sophia says about him: “Although he is sixteen years old, he has already reached the last degree of his perfection and will not go further.”
Mitrofan combines the traits of a tyrant and a slave. When Prostakova's plan to marry her son to a rich pupil, Sophia, fails, the undergrowth behaves like a slave. He humbly asks for forgiveness and humbly accepts “his sentence” from Starodum - to go serve (“For me, wherever they tell you”). Slave upbringing was instilled in the hero, on the one hand, by the serf nanny Eremeevna, and, on the other hand, by the whole world of the Prostakov-Skotinins, whose concepts of honor are distorted.
Through the image of Mitrofan, Fonvizin shows the degradation of the Russian nobility: from generation to generation, ignorance increases, and the coarseness of feelings reaches animal instincts. No wonder Skotinin calls Mitrofan “damned pig.” The reason for such degradation is an incorrect, disfiguring upbringing.
Mitrofanushka, as a traditional figure of noble life (especially provincial), Fonvizin endowed with the generic features of the Prostakov-Skotinin “nest”. In his parents’ house, Mitrofanushka is the main “funny man” and “entertainer”, the inventor and witness of all the stories like the one he saw in his dream: how his mother beat his father. It is well known how Mitrofanushka took pity on his mother, who was busy with the difficult task of beating her father. Mitrofanushka's day is marked by absolute idleness: the fun in the dovecote, where Mitrofanushka is escaping from her lessons, is interrupted by Eremeevna, begging the “child” to learn. Having blabbed to his uncle about his desire to get married, Mitrofanushka immediately hides behind Eremeevna, an “old bastard,” in his words, ready to lay down her life, but “not to betray her to the child.”
Mitrofanushka’s boorish arrogance is akin to his mother’s manner of treating household members and servants: “freak” and “weeper” - the husband, “dog’s daughter” and “nasty mug” - Eremeevna, “beast” - the girl Palashka. If the intrigue of the comedy revolves around the marriage of Mitrofanushka to Sophia, desired by the Prostakovs, then the plot is focused on the theme of the upbringing and teaching of an underage teenager. This is a traditional theme for educational literature. The preschool teachers were selected in accordance with the time standard and the level of understanding of their task by the parents. Here Fonvizin emphasizes details that speak of the quality of choice characteristic of the simpleton family: in French, the ignorant Mitrofanushka is taught by the German Vralman, exact sciences are taught by the retired sergeant Tsyfirkin, who “scraps out a little bit of arithmetic”, grammar is taught by the “educated” seminarian Kuteikin, dismissed from “ any teaching" with the permission of the consistory.
Hence, in the famous scene of Mitrofanushka’s exam, there is an outstanding invention of Mitrofan’s ingenuity about the noun and adjective door, hence the intriguing fairy-tale ideas about the story recounted by the cowgirl Khavronya. In general, the result was summed up by Mrs. Prostakova, who is convinced that “people live and have lived without science.”
Fonvizin's hero is a teenager, almost a youth, whose character is affected by the disease of dishonesty, spreading to every thought and every feeling inherent in him. He is dishonest in his attitude towards his mother, through whose efforts he exists in comfort and idleness and whom he abandons at the moment when she needs his consolation. Comic clothing images are funny only at first glance. V. O. Klyuchevsky classified Mitrofanushka as a breed of creatures “related to insects and microbes,” characterizing this type with inexorable “reproduction.” Thanks to the hero Fonvizin, the word “minor” (formerly neutral) became a common noun for a quitter, a loafer and a lazy person.
The image of Mitrofanushka and the very concept of “minor” have become household names. Nowadays they say this about ignorant and stupid people.
The comedy by D. I. Fonvizin “The Minor” is named after the ignoramus and slacker. Mitrofanushka is one of central characters plays. Laziness, inaction, selfishness and indifference are its main personal traits. Mitrofan's description allows us to speak about a generalized image of the nobility.
Relationships with parents
Mitrofan is very loved by his parents. Mother - Mrs. Prostakova - idolizes her son. She is truly ready to do anything for him. Prostakova raised Mitrofanushka in such a way that he did not know how to truly live. He was not interested in anything in life, the problems and difficulties of life were unfamiliar to him, since his parents did everything to prevent Mitrofanushka from encountering them. This fact greatly influenced Mitrofanushka’s attitude towards own life: he felt his permissiveness. The hero’s life was based on laziness and apathy, the desire to achieve only his own goals associated with peace.
The main character saw how his mother treated his father. Prostakov did not play a big role in their family. This was the reason that Mitrofan did not take his father seriously. He grew up insensitive and selfish, not even showing love to his mother, who in turn loved him very much. The character demonstrated such an indifferent attitude towards his mother in the finale of the work: Mitrofanushka refuses Mrs. Prostakova’s support with the words “Go away, mother, how you imposed yourself.”
Such quotation description fully indicates the results of permissiveness and blindness parental love. D.I. Fonvizin demonstrated how such love has a detrimental effect on a person.
Life goals
The characterization of Mitrofan from the comedy “The Minor” is largely determined by his attitude to life. Mitrofanushka does not have lofty goals. He is not suited to real life, so his main actions are sleeping and eating peculiar foods. The hero does not pay attention to nature, beauty, or the love of his parents. Instead of studying, Mitrofanushka dreams of her marriage, while never thinking about love. Mitrofanushka has never experienced this feeling, so marriage for him is something that is accepted in society, which is why he wants to get married so much. Mitrofanushka is wasting her life without thinking about any large-scale goals.
Attitude to study
The image of Mitrofanushka, to put it briefly, personifies a negative attitude towards education. In "The Minor" the story about Mitrofan's studies is very comical. The hero was engaged in education only because it was supposed to be so in society. Mrs. Prostakova herself, who decided to hire teachers for Mitrofan, considered science to be empty. This greatly influenced the worldview of the child, who, like his mother, began to consider education a waste of time. If it were possible to leave education, Mitrofan would gladly do so. However, the decree of Peter I, which is tacitly mentioned in “The Minor,” obligated all nobles to take a training course. Education and gaining knowledge becomes a responsibility for Mitrofanushka. The hero's mother was unable to instill desire in her son, so he began to believe that he could manage without knowledge. In four years of study, he did not achieve any results. Mitrofanushka’s teachers, for whom only material values were important, also contribute to lack of education. Mitrofanushka treats her teachers with disrespect, calling them various names. He saw his superiority over them, so he allowed himself to behave this way.

Energy of the name and character: It so happened that thanks to the work of Denis Fonfizin and in particular his play “Minor”, the name of his main character - Mitrofanushka - at one time was almost a household name. Of course, this manifested itself in different ways in different strata of society, but today the name Mitrofan has practically fallen out of use and looks like it is completely outdated. Most likely, a person with this name will feel quite uncomfortable in society, and Mitrofan’s pride can become quite painful. In some cases, this leads to the development of an inferiority complex, while in others it inclines a person to search for ways to assert himself in society. If Mitrofan knows how to treat his name with humor, then it can be accepted by society quite favorably. So, today in near-bohemian companies all sorts of funny and outdated names are becoming fashionable, such as Mitrofan, Feofan and the like, which, if skillfully presented, can distinguish a person favorably from the owners of familiar and therefore faceless names. In addition, many Mitrofans prefer to change their name to a more neutral one, like, say, Mitya, although this does not completely save them from self-esteem.
In general, Mitrofan is usually quite good-natured, hardworking and also has a wonderful imagination. Sensitive pride and some passion inherent in the energy of his name make him live more inner life hidden from the eyes of others. It will not be surprising if dreams replace reality for him. It is quite possible that Mitrofan will remain somewhat reserved in public, but in a close circle, where no one questions his merits, he may well become the life of the party. Especially if his character is not alien to a sense of humor.
From these positions, Mitrofan could well realize his talents in any creative profession, however, for full success, he still needs to somewhat smooth out his pride and gain self-confidence.
Secrets of communication: When talking with Mitrofan, do not forget that you are dealing with a painfully proud person. Even if he is not prone to conflicts and will not challenge you to a duel if you somehow offend him, all the same, you are unlikely to ever regain Mitrofan’s favor.
The name's trace in history:
Mitrofan Pyatnitsky
The famous Pyatnitsky choir is considered one of the most prestigious in Russia and is known all over the world, but today few people know about the man who founded this choir. Meanwhile life path Mitrofan Pyatnitsky (1864–1927) can be called truly worthy: not strewn with roses, he was marked by the incomprehensible willpower, perseverance and talent of this extraordinary person.
Musician, performer and collector folk songs, Pyatnitsky grew up in the family of a clerk and studied at a theological school, but he always considered music to be the main thing in his life. For twenty-four years he worked as a simple clerk in one of the Moscow hospitals, while taking singing lessons. Then - also in parallel with work - he began performing at concerts, performing folk songs. In total, during his life, Mitrofan Pyatnitsky recorded about four hundred Russian folk songs, priceless for everyone who cares about our past, and also collected large collection costumes and folk instruments.
Only the last ten years of his life did Pyatnitsky receive well-deserved recognition; his choir grew into a large and professional performing group, and the name became known throughout Russia. However, fame as such never attracted him; the most important thing that he persistently strived for was the opportunity to devote all his time and energy to creativity without reserve. And fame, although it did not come to Mitrofan Pyatnitsky immediately, helped him in in full make this dream come true.
MITROFANUSHKA
MITROFANUSHKA is the hero of D.I. Fonvizin’s comedy “The Minor” (1781), a sixteen-year-old teenager (minor), the only son of Mrs. Prostakova, his mother’s darling and the favorite of the servants. M. how literary type was not Fonvizin’s discovery. Russian literature of the late 18th century. knew and portrayed such teenagers, living freely in rich parental homes and barely able to read and write at the age of sixteen. Fonvizin endowed this traditional figure of noble life (especially provincial) with the generic features of the Prostakov-Skotinin “nest”.
In his parents’ house, M. is the main “funny man” and “entertainer”, the inventor and witness of all the stories like the one he saw in his dream: how his mother beat his father. It is well known how M. took pity on his mother, who was busy with the difficult task of beating her father. M.'s day is marked by absolute idleness: the fun in the dovecote, where M. escapes from his lessons, is interrupted by Eremeevna, begging the “child” to learn. Having blabbed to his uncle about his desire to get married, M. immediately hides behind Eremeevna - “an old hrychovna,” in his words - ready to lay down his life, but “not to give it away to the “child.” M.'s boorish arrogance is akin to his mother's manner of treating household members and servants: "freak" and "weeper" - the husband, "dog's daughter" and "nasty mug" - Eremeevna, "beast" - the girl Palashka.
If the intrigue of the comedy revolves around the marriage of M. to Sophia, desired by the Prostakovs, then the plot is focused on the theme of the upbringing and teaching of a teenage underage. This is a traditional theme for educational literature. M.'s teachers were selected in accordance with the time standard and the parents' level of understanding of their task. Here Fonvizin emphasizes details that speak of the quality of choice characteristic of the simpleton family: M. is taught French by the German Vralman, exact sciences are taught by retired sergeant Tsyfirkin, who “speaks a little of arithmetic,” and grammar by the “educated” seminarian Kuteikin, who was fired from “all teaching” by permission of the consistory. Hence, in the famous exam scene, M. is an outstanding invention of Mitrofan’s ingenuity about the noun and adjective door, hence the intriguing fairy-tale ideas about the story recounted by the cowgirl Khavronya. In general, the result was summed up by Mrs. Prostakova, who is convinced that “people live and have lived without science.”
Fonvizin's hero is a teenager, almost a youth, whose character is affected by the disease of dishonesty, spreading to every thought and every feeling inherent in him. He is dishonest in his attitude towards his mother, through whose efforts he exists in comfort and idleness and whom he abandons at the moment when she needs his consolation. The comic clothes of the image are funny only at first glance. V.O. Klyuchevsky classified M. as a breed of creatures “related to insects and microbes,” characterizing this type with inexorable “reproduction.”
Thanks to the hero Fonvizin, the word “minor” (formerly neutral) became a common noun for a quitter, a loafer and a lazy person.
