The writer adds final scenes to the comedy, thereby expiding the secretary to the rest of the characters.
The first attempts to publish the "grief from the mind" took place in December of the same year. Alas, censorship softened the spells of heroes, after bypassing witness issues that Griboedov touched upon. For example, the phrase of Molchalin "After all, it is necessary to depend on others" replaced on "After all, it is necessary to keep in mind."
The comedy, not burdened by the regiments of the censor, was released in print only in 1831, while the play was specifically translated into German. The Russian-speaking version of the poetic work appeared in Moscow in 1833.
Critical comments on the play, mostly affected the confrontation of Chatsky and Molchalin. Despite the numerous censures of the secretary, the vitality of the hero is understandable and correspond to the spirit of the times. It was subtly notified by Vyazemsky:
"Chatsky speaks about silence that he was before was so stupid that he is a painful creature. Molchanin accepted itself as a rule: moderation and accuracy. Let's ask: What's stupid and funny here? ""Woe from Wit"

Men from the first minutes were unloved each other. Chatsky intends to deal with the reasons of the strange behavior of the beloved. Molchanin is scared that a secret romance will reveal. The secretary does not want to lose a profitable place, but the ability to become a son-in-law of a secured aristocrat is too seductive.
Same, the girl has long lost interest in the Chatkoma and is hard to restrain so as not to reveal his secret. When Molchanin falls from the horse, the younger Famusov does not cope with emotions. The surrounding begin to suspect that there is a secret connection between the heroes.
Raining the glances of the secretary to life, Chatsky brings the wrath of the girl. The relationships of people surround gossip, intrigue and class prejudices.

Intimate conversation and unpleasant statements hear Sophia herself and angry Chatsky. At this point, the social problems of Russian officials and the love drama are mixed together. Molchanin is expelled from the rich house, and his rival with bitterness concludes:
"Silent bliss in the world!"Image and nature
Disputes about the pity or scary of the Molchanin, do not subside among connoisseurs of classical literature. The quotation characteristic of the character will deploy everything in its place, because Griboedov expressed attitude towards the character through the replicas of the silence itself and people around him.
The comedy hero rose in Tver and moved to Moscow already in adulthood. A young man is poor, grew up in a family of burghers. His father also worked in the service, so Zolkolly since childhood got used to reptile before the power of this world:
"My father bent me: first, to please all people without rewrittening - the owner, where he will bring to live, the boss, with whom I will serve."The secretary follows the Testaments of the Father, so it is easily and comforted in the house of Famusov. An officially young man is listed in the "archives", but in fact, performs the duties of a personal assistant landowner.

"Help, modest, in the face of a blush is ..."The costume is for Alexey Stepanovich a kind of way to achieve your own goals in life. Modest Sirtuk, colored vest and bright pantalonov helps silence to advance through the career stairs. After all, the status of the reptile servant allows you to achieve raising faster. Yes, and a quiet young man easier to achieve the favor of the daughter of the chief.
The image of a modest and closed person is operated by Griboyedov, even through the surname of the hero. So thinks about the unpleasant hero Chatsky:
"Is still not broken silence of printing? And however, he comes to the degrees of famous, because now they love wordless. "The new aspects of the nature of Molchalin are opened in the context of the secretary relationship with women. The ambition makes a man to care for Sofia, while Alexey's interest is experiencing Lisa to the maid. The hero does not bother that such actions are a sign of hypocrisy and doubles. After all, any methods are good in the struggle of aristocracy and officials.
Unworthy behavior has consequences for a liquid and quirky person. Alexey Stepanovich caught with a political one, and the various dodgers will not save the boring. However, even after Radiation from the rich house, Molchanin can easily satisfy his own life, because, as Belinsky wrote:
"Molchanin Devilski is a cleaner when it comes to his personal gain."Shielding
