(243 words) The works of Maxim Gorky, relating to the early period of his work, can be considered romantic. For example, in the story “Makar Chudra” there is an exceptional hero - a person who confronts others, carefully preserves his ideals and therefore remains lonely. Only nature understands and accepts such a person, trusts him his secrets and becomes his listener.
Drawing the image of a gypsy, Gorky pays much attention to the landscape. Makar Chudra stands by the sea. The waves splash thoughtfully, the autumn haze shudders, thickening ... The author does not accidentally use the personification technique, showing that nature can experience the same feelings as people. But the elements are stronger than man. If the sea is described in the story, then it is necessarily endless, if the steppe, then it is unlimited. There are no halftones, only bright colors and unique paintings. Such is the soul of the protagonist. He is an extraordinary man, his freedom, like the sea, extends widely. Nothing can limit it.
On the other hand, according to the old gypsy, people are slaves throughout their lives. The will, led by the steppes, is unknown to them. Not everyone can hear and understand the whisper of sea waves. This duality is noted not only in the character of the hero. The work describes two worlds - nature and man, true and ostentatious grandeur. How not to stop loving life if you know everything about it? Makar Chudra gives simple advice: do not think about anything for a long time. It is much more important to learn wisdom and power from nature, to contemplate the world around us, to discover something new for ourselves and rejoice in the fact that somewhere there are places where you can be real. This is an ideal world, which, however, is not difficult to make real for yourself and share your discovery with people.
