The story "Death of the official" was created by Anton Pavlovich Chekhov in 1883, he entered the collection "Mottle stories" of 1886 publishers. The work from the series "It would be fun if it were not so sad", contains elements at the same time satire and drama.
Death official briefly
Small official Ivan worms enjoyed in the theater "Kornvilian bells". Accidentally sneezed on ahead. They turned out to be a high-ranking general of the brisk. The worms were so frightened with his oversight, which immediately began to ask for forgiveness from the general.
But he was not disturbed at all, he just asked not to interfere with listening. The worms did not get up and did not bother his apologies to the brisk, first in the intermission, then went home to him, then for a service reception, until finally, did not finally withdraw the general of patience, and he put the annoying petitioner over the door.
I took such a attitude of the worms inadequately, I fell into a shock state, I did not hear anything and did not see anyone. Returned home, fault, without removing the uniform, and died. This short story In the first publication in 1883, the name "case" was called and at first glance reveals the desire to serve and subordinate to the person of power.
However, critics saw in it, perhaps even more than the author could assume. The narration opens a number of psychological topics. Semantic tenderness of the work dissatisfaction with life, political system Russia of that time, the idea of \u200b\u200bincompleteness of aspirations and achievements in comparison with the accompanying efforts.
Man self-destruction for the sake of career. The death of the official here is figuratively - a small person is struggling to keep the job or even get some career growth, and understands that due to the little things it can lose everything. An example of a crisis of relationships in the official environment, rollibility and sense of obligation before the bosses, and in excessive form. Fear little man Before the power of it, suddenly he will hurt and revenge. History rises not only nonsense, but also the absurdity of the situation. Worms died due to a contrived alarm before a non-existent threat.
In the work of the "Death of the Official", the heroes become involuntary participants in the trifle situation: Ivan Dmitrievich Sitting in the theater sneezed and sprayed Lysina General Bizelov. The worms so fled the meaning of this "incident" that his life turned into a nightmare. The surname of the hero gives his slave nature, even his petty position corresponds to her. In the characteristic of the hero, an important place is the inner monologue of the hero, he is so experiencing that he will think about him with a high position in society that, as a result, his life is breaking.

In the story of Chekhov is ironic to the limit: his character is wrapped by General, unable to cope with his kind of slave, returns home, falls and dies. The main characters "Death of the official" are so distinguished by spiritually and morally, which is talking on different languages.

The tragic and ironic combines very harmoniously in the works of Chekhov. His stories are vitality, deep, make you think, understand the laws on which society holds. The theme of a "little man" in the story is combined with limitations, a burden, sining, which is very characteristic of that period, which describes the author.
