The story introduces the audience with the first years of the life of Nikole.
We get the opportunity to form an idea of the conditions in which the new generation of landowners and representatives of secular society. Immorality and hypocrisy, propagated in society, are apparent to the example of a particular family.
Nicholenka IRTENEV is not beautiful. He has a large nose and chubby lips, small eyes, and vortex sticks out on the back of the back. The appearance is important for the child, so he is experiencing about the shortcomings and often prays to God that he sent him beauty. An unpleasant features celebrate and surrounding adults, even the closest man, mother. She tells about the spiritual beauty of the boy.
Nikolet is distinguished by a titon character, growing up the feeling of envy, but the guy is gentle and affectionate with loved ones, conscientious and kind to others. Positive features have a hero. He will always be ashamed of his misconduct and incorrect thoughts. Conscience and repentance, overtaking children, become punished for him. And I want to believe that the boy will try to behave better. Before him is not worth choosing a profession, but a life choice that is available to the hero every day, the boy does, drawing on his own feelings.
The contradiction of the personality of the main character is manifested in its actions and relationships with other characters a story. The child studied at home. Mentor Nikolenki Karl Ivanovich, German, who came to torture happiness to Russia, causes sympathy and pity in the boy.
Nicolenka wants to sacrifice for the sake of a beloved teacher, and he tries in every way to show his love.

The main character, although there is noble mental qualities, can not hide arrogance and arrogance. The boy understands what the status is supposed to him, and what position Karl Ivanovich and Natalia Savishna occupy. This could not be avoided, because with the young nails, the child heard that he was a Barsky son. He realized that it was better than others due to its origin, which means that respect for respect. The feeling of superiority in those years was brought up in children from the youngsters, therefore, to blame Nicholes in the formation of such a consciousness.
The trouble comes to any house. The death of the mother became a turning point in the life of the child. His life was not as sweet, as it seemed. The older brother was mocked, friend, Dmitry Nekhludov, did not understand, the parents did not pay the necessary warmth and care, and the only light image in his life was sentenced to disappearance. Nicholya did not shy his mother and loved her very much.
He often spent time with her, so her responsiveness and kindness were transferred to him. Maman's death struck the child and inflicted his deep mental injury. Although he cried on it, sorry himself, showing egoism and pride.
