(321 words) The Russian writer N. A. Nekrasov in his numerous works paid close attention to female images. The writer's works reflect the fortitude, fidelity and beauty of the soul of Russians.
The heroines of Nekrasov are strong and brave women. Revealing the nature of the ladies, the writer clearly describes their difficult life, their high feelings. He subtly felt the difficult fate of women who did not know what it was to be weak, free personalities, because an abundant economy was piled on their shoulders.
The difficult fate of the girls and their moral feat the writer vividly describes in the poem "Russian Women". Princesses Trubetskaya and Volkonskaya, representatives of high society, who for some time did not know the difficulties, remain noble, faithful wives of prisoners. Despite the condemnation of relatives, officials, the king, the heroines go for their husbands, knowing in advance what kind of torment awaits them in cold Siberia. Nekrasov in this work shows the feat of women in the name of love. They are ready to defend freedom, not only of their loved ones, but also of the whole people, making it clear how generous and deep the nature of the Russian beauty is.
In the work “To whom it is good to live in Russia”, Nekrasov introduces the readers to a simple peasant woman. The life of the main character Matrena Timofeevna is a marathon with obstacles for a piece of bread. The image of a strong woman on a thorny path is immediately drawn, but her stamina and desire to live help her survive the persecution in her husband’s house, the loss of a child, hard work and need. After withstanding all the tests, she managed to free her husband from recruitment, protecting her family at the cost of incredible effort. Despite all the ordeals, she was an excellent housewife and a reliable worker.
The poem "Three" Nekrasov also touches on the theme of the peasantry. A young girl who dreams of freedom is immersed in a world of dreams, but reality does not leave her alone. The writer says in advance about her fate that she should not be free and happy: “You will go for a slut man,” - this bitter complaint contains the whole essence of the reality of the common people. The poem is full of drama and sympathy for the heroine, who deserves the best, but will receive only an abuse of her beauty and youth.
The woman in the works of Nekrasov is a victim of social injustice, she is always forced to overcome obstacles, but it is in these efforts that her virtue, which the poet praises so much, is seen.
