What role does the “silent scene” play in comedy?
Gogol himself gave the “silent scene” great importance. The actors in the first productions of The Inspector General rarely fulfilled the stage directions for the last scene; the curtain almost always fell immediately, and the audience could not see the petrified characters. Therefore, Gogol wrote and spoke about the last scene more than once. Here are a few of his comments, in addition to the large remark in the text of the play itself.
“The last scene of The Government Inspector should be especially cleverly played. The situation of many people is almost tragic.” And further about the mayor: “To be deceived so rudely to one who knew how to carry out smart people and even skilled rogues! The announcement of the arrival at last of a real auditor is a thunderclap for him. He was petrified. His outstretched arms and thrown back head remained motionless, around him the entire active group formed in an instant a petrified group in different positions. The picture should be set almost like this: in the middle is the mayor, completely numb and dumbfounded... The curtain should not fall for two or three minutes...
The last scene will not be a success until it is understood that this is just a silent picture representing a petrified group... The fright of each hero is not similar to the fright of the other, just as the degree of fear and fear of each is dissimilar.”
Explain why Gogol wrote so many additional materials that accompany this play. This includes “Theatrical travel after the presentation of a new comedy,” and a number of other materials: “An excerpt from a letter written by the author shortly after the presentation of “The Inspector General” to a writer,” “A warning for those who would like to play “The Inspector General” properly.”
The first performance of the comedy "The Inspector General" in Alexandrinsky Theater April 16, 1836 did not please Gogol, but caused resentment at the lack of understanding of his play and the deafness of the audience and actors. The comedy was perceived as a funny adventure of an imaginary inspector, characters they were funny, funny, pleasant, and only the horror of the “silent stage” was not comprehended by anyone. Khlestakov, in the grip of the actor Duras, appeared before the audience as a funny liar. “The Inspector General” has been played, - wrote Gogol, - but my soul is so vague, so strange... the main role disappeared... Dur didn’t understand by a hair’s breadth what Khlestakov was... He became just an ordinary liar...”
And Gogol felt the need to reveal to the actors and those who would stage the play his understanding of the roles he created. Hence a lot of materials dedicated to “The Inspector General”.
Gogol wrote that actors must first of all “try to understand the universal expression of the role, they must consider why this role is called upon.” And he reveals in detail in his articles what Khlestakov is, points out his typicality (it is no coincidence that the hero’s phrase is given: “I am everywhere, everywhere”). Gogol notes in “Excerpt from a Letter...”: “Everyone, at least for a minute, if not for a few minutes, was or is becoming Khlestakov... And a clever guards officer will sometimes turn out to be Khlestakov, and a statesman will sometimes turn out to be Khlestakov, and our brother, the sinful writer, will sometimes turn out to be Khlestakov. In short, it’s rare that someone won’t be one at least once in their life...”
Gogol was not particularly bothered by the role of the mayor: the actors Sosnovsky (Alexandrinsky Theater) and Shchepkin (Maly Theater) completely satisfied him, the comments concerned only the transition of the mayor’s feelings in the last act. Gogol paid attention to how Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky should be played. But his main concern is Khlestakov and the “silent stage”. He saw that the “Notes for Gentlemen Actors” and the lengthy stage directions for the “silent scene” were not enough.
In “Theater Road Trip...” Gogol addresses positive hero comedy - laughter.
As you can see, Gogol was very concerned about the performance of roles in his comedy - he wanted the actors to “grab the soul of the role, not the dress,” so that the directors would understand ideological plan comedy and the author's position.
In “The Inspector General,” Gogol later recalled, I decided to collect in one pile everything bad in Russia that I knew then, all the injustices that are done in those places and in those cases where justice is most required from a person, and behind one ...
They stood in the same poses, In silent strange silence. Their feelings cannot be described in lines, Their thoughts are somewhere in the depths. Everyone has their own thoughts. But everyone is afraid of one thing - That their insidious deeds can no longer be hidden for anything. Skvoznik-Dmukhanovsky laments: “A fraudster...
The mayor is depicted by the author in the comedy as a serious person, smart in his own way, cunning, and experienced in life’s circumstances. True, his idea of an intelligent person is very unique, it is associated with the justification of bribery (from Chmykhov’s letter: “you ...
In 1839, in an article about “Woe from Wit,” having condemned Griboedov’s comedy “from an artistic point of view” (which, as he wrote in a letter to V.P. Botkin dated December 11, 1840, was the hardest thing for him to remember), Belinsky enthusiastically greeted the "Inspector". His...
/ / / The meaning of the silent scene in Gogol’s comedy “The Inspector General”
An exciting comedy by N.V. Gogol's "" opens and exposes for the first time social problems, without affecting at all love relationship. Using comedic techniques, the author laughs at the surrounding officials and people who are simply overcome with fear of being punished and losing their ranks. But this laughter is so bitter, because it reveals to the reader the truth of life in those days.
The main character, , was mistaken by residents of city N for an auditor. But, at the end of the comedy, when all the circumstances have become clear, we are introduced to the episode with a silent scene.
The news about the fake auditor shook and excited all the residents of the city of N. Against the backdrop of these events, all the heroes completely forgot that the real auditor should also arrive. And so, this event happened. From this news, the heroes simply turn to stone and turn into silent pillars. They are overcome by a feeling of indescribable horror, not only from the inspection, but also from the fact that all these actions need to be experienced again, with a new auditor. Residents of the city are completely unprepared to meet the inspector.
At the center of unexpected events is the mayor, because he was the main swindler and thief in the city. He threw his head up and seemed to be turning to the sky with questions: “Why did all this fall on his shoulders?”
The silent scene episode is very important, because it is in it that we can get acquainted with true characters main characters. Without replicas or verbal expressions, the reader observes the behavior of officials and residents of the city. Lukich Luka looked simply lost, Zemlyankin tried to tilt his head to the side. He wanted to hear at least one idea on how to get out of this situation. Lyapkin-Tyapkin, the chief judge of the city, sat down closer to the ground. He was very frightened, because he had many sins behind him. The characters of Dobchinsky and Bobchinsky were portrayed quite funny and absurdly by N.V. Gogol. They opened their mouths and bulged their eyes. Their figures froze in horror at such news. Each of the heroes of the comedy “The Inspector General” had their own sins, and they were afraid to reveal them to everyone.
It is the silent scene that allows us, the readers, to understand the horror into which the characters of the city of N have fallen. At the very end of the comedy, it gives each of us the opportunity to finish the work according to our own conjectures, because nothing is known about the results of the test. Perhaps all the thieves and villains are getting their well-deserved punishment, or maybe the audit will go quietly and smoothly. The author does not write anything about this. I believe that the very thought of punishment, which so excited the city, is a good shake-up for all the heroes.
The idea of completing the play (the “silent” scene) was born to Gogol immediately after he began working on “The Inspector General” and was never changed again in the process of creating the comedy. Gogol believed that this scene should make a strong impression on the audience.

Slide 1 (portrait of N.V. Gogol).
- Teacher's word: The idea of completing the play (“silent scene”) was born to Gogol immediately after he began working on “The Inspector General” and did not change during the process of creating the comedy. Gogol believed that this scene should make a strong impression on the audience, and insisted that the “silent scene” last at least 2-3 minutes. Only at the insistence of the director and actors of the Alexandrinsky Theater, who at the rehearsals of “The Inspector General” by the end of the play were so exhausted and exhausted that they could not withstand the tension last scene and fainted, its duration was reduced to one and a half minutes.
Conclusion: Thus, we see that for Gogol the final scene was no less important than all the previous actions of the comedy.
Why did Gogol insist that this scene be so long? (Students make different assumptions.)
They come to the conclusion:
The writer sought the effect of universal understanding: the viewer (reader) must understand that one of the heroes standing on stage is, to some extent, himself.
“Silent scene” is the mayor’s phrase, as if frozen in the petrified figures of the characters: “Why are you laughing? “You’re laughing at yourself!...”
The main question of text analysis is the question of the compositional and semantic feasibility of the “silent scene”.
Why does Gogol introduce this scene, since with the arrival of the gendarme the comedy can be considered over and the curtain can be lowered? But Gogol not only decides to end the comedy this way, but also describes in detail the position of each character on stage and insists on precisely this compositional structure of the finale (the last phenomenon is the “silent scene”).
When reading (watching in the theater) “The Inspector General”, students feel how, starting from Act IV, the pathos of the play gradually changes - from comic to tragic; tragedy reaches its apogee precisely in the final “silent scene.”
(The message is made by a prepared student.)
Memories of contemporaries about the premiere of “The Inspector General” at the Alexandrinsky Theater in St. Petersburg:
1. “Laughter from time to time still flew from one end of the hall to the other, but it was some kind of timid laughter that immediately disappeared, there was almost no applause at all; but intense attention, convulsive, intense, followed all the shades of the play, sometimes dead silence showed that what was happening on stage passionately captured the hearts of the audience.”
2. The very tension of the finale, caused by the appearance of the gendarme on stage and conveyed through the static, picture-like but frozen position of the characters, according to Gogol, should evoke in the audience a single, but very strong feeling - fear, horror.
“Despite... the comical situation of many people... in the end there remains... something monstrously gloomy, some kind of fear of our unrest. This very appearance of the gendarme, who, like some kind of executioner, appears at the door... all this is somehow inexplicably scary!
- The role of the poster( poster projection).
Slide 2.
Name characteristics“Revizor” posters (time was spent analyzing the poster in the first lesson). /
Student answers:Firstly, the entire city is represented in the playbill (the comedy depicts representatives of the bureaucratic system of any Russian city), and in a broader sense, the whole of Russia (it is no coincidence that after the premiere of The Government Inspector, Nicholas I said: “What a play! Everyone got it, and I more than anyone!” Moreover, the conflict of the comedy itself is not only a social one; social status heroes, but also the very name of the comedy - “The Inspector General” - a government official); secondly, the only person acting in the comedy, but not indicated in the poster, is the gendarme.
Doesn't this circumstance make the character significant and doesn't it distinguish him in the system of comedy images?
Think about why the gendarme is not included in the poster.
Student messages:
- Gendarme - representative state power, which seeks to punish the vices of the social bureau of the cratic structure that it itself created (this is indicated by both the main conflict and the intrigue of the comedy).
“It’s not funny that the play can’t end without the government. It will certainly appear, like an inevitable fate in the tragedies of the ancients. - ... Well? There is nothing bad here, God grant that the government always and everywhere hears its calling to be the representative of Providence on earth and that we believe in it, as the ancients believed in the fate that overtook the crime” (N.V. Gogol “Theater Travel”) .
- Gendarme is a messenger of Providence, a higher power more powerful than the highest ranks state system. This is what makes such a strong impression on the heroes of the comedy and gives rise to horror and fear in them (and the audience). Gogol in the “Dénouement” of “The Inspector General” wrote: “Whatever you say, the inspector who is waiting for us at the door of the coffin is terrible.”
Teacher :
In the minds of the author of The Inspector General, the gendarme is a somewhat mystical figure: he appears unexpectedly and out of nowhere, and the words he uttered “strike everyone like thunder; so that the whole group, having suddenly changed their position, remains petrified.” And the real auditor, who sent the gendarme with the news of his arrival, becomes a mystical person; This feeling of mysticism is further enhanced by the fact that the auditor does not appear on stage: just one news about him plunges the characters in the comedy into horror, which is transmitted to the audience
Slide 3 (projecting a photograph of a “silent” scene):
Pay attention to the location of the heroes on the stage: the mayor and the postmaster, since the rest of the characters represent “a detail in the picture, which is outlined with one stroke of the brush and covered with one color” (Gogol): they are just the background, they are one way or another again and again concentrate the viewer's attention on the figures (mayor and postmaster).
Students note the unusual positions in which they are frozen.
Let us turn to the description of the position of the heroes. “The city is in the middle in the form of a pillar, with outstretched arms and head thrown back.”
Students note that the mayor occupies a central place.
Doesn't the figure of the mayor resemble a cross, five crosses?
Conclusion: the “silent scene” introduces into the comedy, firstly, biblical motifs, and secondly, the motif of death (compare “the auditor who is waiting for us at the door of the coffin”).
So social conflict comedy receives a philosophical interpretation: the origins of the vices of society are rooted in the spiritual organization of man, and not in the system itself.
Let's determine the location of the postmaster on the stage.
This character, "turned into question mark", addressed to the audience, stands behind the mayor.
Formulate the question that Gogol addresses to the audience and which receives such an allegorical embodiment on stage. ("Why are you laughing?”)
An appeal to Gogol’s thoughts about K. P. Bryullov’s painting “The Last Day of Pompeii.”
Slide 4 (projection of reproduction).
Student message:The painting was painted by Bryullov in 1833 in Italy, then in 1834 it was brought to St. Petersburg and put on display in the Hermitage from August 12 to 17. She made such a strong impression on Gogol that, under her influence, he wrote the article “The Last Day of Pompeii (painting by Bryullov).”
Pay attention to the landscape that serves as the background and to the location of the human figures.
Name the features of the artist’s pictorial style (the sky and earth, between which there are no boundaries, are designed in brown-red tones; the artist masterfully conveys the horror and fear of people of chaos last day). The idea of the corruption of earthly beauty and the coming “end of the world” discerned in this “terrible phenomenon” generally determined Gogol’s assessment of K. P. Bryullov’s painting. The writer was delighted with the genius of the artist, who was able to convey the horror of the “end of the world” through the image of petrified figures: “We feel,” writes Gogol, “only the terrible situation of the entire crowd, “but we do not see a person in whose face there would be all the horror of the destruction visible to them” (N.V. Gogol “The Last Day of Pompeii (painting by Bryullov).”
Conclusion: The principle of depicting people gripped by the horror of doomsday is transferred by the writer to the last page of “The Inspector General”; the heroes are frozen, petrified, but in this fossil there is movement - not external, but internal - spiritual world of people. Gogol believes that social vices are a kind of projection of the shortcomings of a person’s spiritual world. Therefore, man must first change. Cleansing inner world, according to Gogol, is possible only through tragedy: shock forces a person to be spiritually reborn. In Gogol’s “silent scene,” as well as in Bryullov’s painting, heaven and the sinful earthly world suddenly, in one minute, merge and mix. The displacement of the space of “top” and “bottom” is embodied in the image of a gendarme.
Slide 5 (reproduction of a painting).
Once again, I ask you to formulate the question that Gogol addresses to the viewer in an “encrypted” form - in the allegorical images of the mayor and the postmaster.
“Why are you laughing? “You’re laughing at yourself!...”
(Students offer their own versions of questions.)
We choose one that most accurately, in our opinion, reflects the meaning final scene: “How will you, the viewer (reader), meet the day of judgment?”
Does the real auditor look like Khlestakov or is he the complete opposite of this “official from St. Petersburg”?
Who is the inspector who sent the gendarme - Khlestakov No. 2 or high power, providence?
III. Summing up the lesson.
Teacher's word:
There is no clear answer. This ambiguity is due, firstly, to the fact that the inspector himself does not appear on stage, secondly, to the fact that the gendarme - the inspector's messenger - is not stated in the poster, and thirdly, to the fact that the ending to the media is open. I suggest doing an experiment:
Let's try to bring a real auditor onto the stage and imagine how the action of the play will develop after the “silent scene”, if the auditor is a copy of Khlestakov and if he is his complete opposite.
Let us assume that the real auditor is similar to Khlestakov. Then after the “silent scene” the action of the comedy will be repeated from the beginning, with the only difference that instead of Khlestakov the real auditor will act.
If the inspector is providence itself (as indicated by the analysis of the “silent scene”), then the development of the play after the “silent scene” is unpredictable, and the ending, thus, becomes a symbol of the last - doomsday - day of the life of the city.
If the first interpretation of the image of the auditor is accepted as correct, the comedy loses its satirical significance; vices cannot be eradicated, they only change in appearance. The “silent scene” loses its relevance; it can be neglected without harming the overall structure and idea of “The Inspector General”.
IV. Homework: written assignment, answer: “What interpretation of the image of an auditor is significant for Gogol?” Justify your opinion.

During the classes
1. Organizing students for the lesson. Communicating to students the topic and objectives of the lesson
- Hello guys! Sit down. Today in class we will again turn to the text of N.V.’s immortal comedy. Gogol’s “The Inspector General”, you will analyze one episode of the comedy. You have to understand what the features of the analysis of an episode of a dramatic work are, find out its significance for understanding the idea of the work.
– Having learned to analyze an episode, you will be able to understand the essence of any other text, document, work or printed article in the future.
2. Updating knowledge. Clarification of the features of dramatic works, including compositional ones (frontal conversation)
– What work is called dramatic? What is its episode? (A dramatic work is intended to be staged; the episodes in it are scenes or phenomena)
– Who might need an analysis of a dramatic work and why? (This is necessary for the director of the play, actors, theater workers taking part in the production of the play; the audience so that they correctly understand the essence of what is happening on stage; critics who must give a correct assessment of the literary work and theatrical production)
3. Determination of the elements of the composition of the work
– Each work necessarily has certain elements of composition. Arrange them on the board in the order they appear in the work. (Commencement of action, development of action, climax, denouement)
– Since we are talking today about an episode from N.V.’s comedy. Gogol’s “The Inspector General”, then we will correlate the episodes from this work with the compositional elements that you have placed on the board.
(1). Notifying city officials of the upcoming arrival of the auditor (tie) ; (2). The story of Bobchinsky and Dobchinsky about a strange young man living in a tavern ( plot ); Khlestakov's story about his life in St. Petersburg and imaginary greatness (climax) ; reading of Khlestakov's letter by officials and mayors (denouement) ; gendarme's message about the arrival of a real auditor and the “silent scene” (denouement) .
– Today we will analyze the “silent” scene.
4. Determining the criteria for analyzing the episode (drawing up a plan)
– What does it mean to analyze an episode (scene, phenomenon)? (To analyze a scene means to determine what place the episode occupies in the composition of the work, which characters take part in this episode, how the author portrayed the characters, how this episode helps to understand the idea of the work).
– Your answers resonate with the plan for analyzing the episode that we will work on today. ( Students are given a plan for analyzing the episode and the text of the episode).
5. Analysis of the “silent scene” from the fifth act of the comedy
1) Determination of the place and role of the phenomenon in the work, its connection with the issues.
– You already know what compositional element the “silent scene” is in the work. (Decoupling)
– But why N.V. Did Gogol insist that the “silent” scene last exactly 1.5 minutes? What did he want to achieve with this? To answer this question, let's imagine that we are attending a comedy performance in a theater.
2) Main characters.
– Who participates in the last scenes of the comedy? (Almost all officials, officials, all the “color” of the city) K.S. Before staging a comedy in the theater, Stanislavsky invited actors playing certain roles to put themselves in the place of their character, imagine what he was thinking about, what he wanted, in order to better understand the character, habits, views of his characters and get used to the character. I invite some of you to also “get used to” the images of individual characters. To do this, we will divide ourselves into “actors”, “spectators” and “critics”. And “actors”, and “spectators”, and “critics” will receive questions after watching a scene from the performance of the Moscow Theater of Satire based on the comedy by N.V. Gogol’s “The Inspector General”, the “actors” will answer them using clichés on behalf of their character, the “spectators” will share their own impressions, and the “critics” will evaluate the significance of the “silent scene” for understanding the ideological meaning of the comedy . (“Actors” and “spectators” answer questions from the 1st or 3rd person. Everyone applauds the actors)
– Why did the “silent scene” last 1.5 minutes? (This is a kind of grotesque that not only shows the confusion of the characters, but exaggerates it incredibly, makes it absurd)
– Why are there no lines from the heroes in it? (This is exactly how long it took the actors to play the feelings that their characters experienced, and for the audience to see these feelings, think about what they saw and guess what will happen to them next. No words are needed. Everyone draws their own conclusions)
– Indeed, the silence of the characters in the last phenomenon is no less eloquent than many other comedy scenes. We cannot give speech characteristics to the characters, since, apart from the gendarme’s remark, there are no words in the episode. But we can evaluate the characters and thoughts of the mayor and his guests by the poses in which the author depicted them. What new things did you learn about the characters? (Students answer)
3) The ideological role of the episode. (Determining the importance of the episode for understanding the idea of the work)
– So, the “silent scene” is the final denouement of the conflict and the end of the comedy. What do you think would happen to the officials if N.V. Did Gogol continue the action of the comedy? (There are 2 options for the development of events: 1) the auditor will be bribed again, and he will leave the city, leaving the officials and the mayor without punishment, and everything will be as before; 2) the auditor will discover the abuses of officials and punish them, and the king will appoint others in their place. After some time they will settle down, they will also start taking bribes and using their official position)
6. Comparison of officials from comedy and Nikolaev Russia with modern officials
– Emperor Nicholas I, who was also a spectator at the premiere production of “The Inspector General,” drew his own conclusions about the idea of comedy, saying: “ What a play! Everyone got it, and I got it more than everyone else! ” Why? Confirm or refute his words using your materials historical information (Slide). (Nicholas I understood perfectly well that such a problem existed in the country, but was afraid to change anything: too high officials were involved in corrupt activities)
– K.S. Stanislavsky, who already lived in the 20th century, wrote: “Why, watching “The Inspector General,” involuntarily think about the tormented and awkward Russia?” Why did he write about Russia like that? (Time is running, but the problem of corruption remains in the country)
– Do you think there is a problem of abuses by officials in modern Russia? (Not really). Explore excerpts from contemporary printed materials.
– Has nothing really changed in the bureaucratic environment since the time of N.V. Gogol? What to do? How to deal with the arbitrariness of officials? (To prevent officials from taking bribes, there is no need to give them. You need to obey the law yourself and demand the same from officials. It is necessary to roughly punish the perpetrators and make such cases widely public, so that others will not be embarrassed)
- You suggested ways to solve this problem. When you get a specialty and start working, you will become either officials or those who depend on them. And now it depends on you whether Russia will ever be able to solve the problem of corruption and arbitrariness of officials.
7. Summing up the lesson
– We analyzed one episode of the comedy “The Inspector General”. What did working with an episode of the work help us learn and understand? What N.V. warned us about. Gogol with his “silent scene”? (A correct understanding of each episode helps to correctly understand the main idea of the entire work, its idea. Gogol, with his silence, pushed everyone to understand the terrible problem that still exists in Russia, and forced everyone who loves their country to look for ways to solve it)
8. Choosing an epigraph
– Our work is coming to an end, and we still haven’t found an epigraph for the lesson. Which of the statements written on the board do you think is more suitable as an epigraph? (All epigraphs are related to comedy, however, only Mark Bock’s statement contains the idea of working with texts, and today we analyzed an episode of a dramatic work. Despite the fact that there are almost no words of the characters, we were able, thanks to the analysis of the scene, to better understand not only its meaning, but also the idea of the entire work as a whole)
9. Reflection
– Today in class you were attentive to the word, active and interested, so you learned to “ask the text,” that is, analyze it. What excited you or found it interesting? What are you thinking about? (Students answer)
- Thank you for your work!
10. Comments on homework
– At home, I suggest that you plan to analyze another comedy phenomenon of your choice.
