The main events in Vasily Shukshin’s story “Cut off” is a good example of how you don’t need to behave so that you are not considered a stupid and rude person. This is a short but very ironic work, the plot of which makes you experience many emotions. Perplexity, anger, hope that Gleb will not be able to “cut off” a person this time. If you think about it, we so often meet people who unjustly consider themselves very competent in all matters. To know who they are aligned, just read the very brief contents of the book for the reader's diary. But to fully understand the ideological and thematic content of the text, use story analysis from Literaguru.
(312 words) Candidate of Sciences Konstantin Ivanovich came to the village of Novaya to visit his mother, Agafya Zhuravleva, together with his wife and daughter. By evening, the whole village knew - and they arrived by taxi, and the whole scientist's family.
We were waiting for only one thing - when did Gleb Kapustin come to visit them. Oh, this is a famous frame in the village. In general, many famous people have come out of this village - and you are pilots, and a colonel, and a correspondent ... And now here is also a candidate. And all these people Gleb loved to “cut off". This is a stupid, ignorant person who picked up, from where he could, different words and phrases. And with stupid questions like himself, he drove the visitors to a standstill.
So this time it was the same. He came, along with the peasants, sat down, and began to question him. At first, for my convenience, I came up with the fact that since Konstantin is from the philological faculty, he is a philosopher. True, what difference is a philologist or philosopher? And off we go. Here he began both about the “problems of shamanism” and about “life from the inside of the moon,” and asked how philosophy relates to the concept of weightlessness. Konstantin Ivanovich was taken aback by all these questions, tried to laugh it off, but where to. Gleb went ahead like a tank.
Constantine's wife, Vera, came up. But she did not understand anything from all these questions. And Gleb, meanwhile, was diverging, burning. And now he began to accuse the candidate of de "putting on a suit - this is not to become a candidate." And when Konstantin Ivanovich had already begun to lose his patience and switched to a simpler language, Gleb got tired of the idea that they were not prisoners here, they did not understand the jargon, and he did not break the chain.
And in general, he is Gleb Kapustin, also a smart person, and he watches TV and reads newspapers. And it would not be necessary for any candidates to come so unprepared to the village and think that there are only fools.
In general, Gleb poured mud on everyone, according to his favorite tradition, and left. And the next day, he also boasted that he again “cut off” a too clever candidate.
