Hardly it is more difficult to find.
N.A.Nekrasov.

Alexander Nikolaevich Ostrovsky has written the well-known drama "Thunder-storm" in 1859. Events in product are developed in small town Kalinove on coast of the great Russian river of Volga. Such cities in the middle of XIX century there was a great variety.

In invented small town Kalinove lives Katerina - the central character of a drama A.N.Ostrovsky. The author in the list of characters of "Thunder-storm" writes so: " Katerina - wife Tihona ". The name of the husband really reflects his character. Really, Tihon was very silent, shy, appeasable. But the spouse widows Marfy Ignatjevny Kabanovoj live in the house rich kupchihi. Ostrovsky names it Kabanihoj. It casts an idea on uneasy character of this woman. So who such Katerina and how to it is in this family?

Our heroine - a nature pensive, impressionable, with character on advantage " loving, ideal ", soul ardent and passionate. About itself Katerina tells: " Such I have arisen hot! " It a resolute, strong-willed nature. Since the childhood it was capable of courageous acts. It is capable of full break with the environment which has grown hateful to it and life. Sister Tihona, Barbarian Katerina speaks: " And prick very much to me here opostynet so will not keep me any force. In a window I shall be thrown out, to Volga I shall rush ".

In the childhood and youth Katerine in the parental house was joyfully, easily and freely. It loved the garden in which frequently walked and admired colors. Life in the relation house Katerina recollects: " I lived for anything did not grieve, am exact a birdy on will ". Mother "adored" it. But the girl marry to the person unfamiliar to it. It became the beginning of tragedy Kateriny.

From an atmosphere of love and caress Katerina gets in family Kabanihi. The sister of its husband asserts, that on a deceit at them " all house keeps ". In family Kabanovyh hypocrisy, impudence, rudeness and hypocrisy are very strong. Conditions of " a dark empire " in which lives Katerina, demands, that it lied and deceived, as it does the Barbarian. But our heroine cannot do it on the character. It is natural, that the conflict between conditions of " a dark empire " and light private world Kateriny can come to the end only tragically.

Katerina Boris who was the nephew Wild - a rich merchant falls in love with the young man by name. After departure Tihona Katerina for the remark of the mother-in-law, what not so carried out the husband, openly declares: " there is nothing, and I am not able - to make laugh that people ". It already the beginning of the protest. But patience Kateriny has bursted, lives in this nightmare it more cannot. Having received from Barbarians a key from a garden, it decides to see Boris, and there "come what may".

To Boris Katerina attracts not only that he is pleasant to it that he with a kind and on speeches is not similar to other, environmental it; to it the offended feeling of the woman, and fatal melancholy of its monotonous, boring life, and desire of will, open space, hot, bezzapretnoj freedom attracts it and requirement of the love, not found to itself of a response in the husband, and.

But Boris appears not in pair Katerine. For it the most difficult - to overcome dissonance in the soul. As Katerina it is ashamed for such girl and it is a shame before the husband. But Tihon to it has bothered, for it his caress it is worse than beating. In this difficult for Kateriny situations Boris throws it, leaving in Siberia. Katerina there is one in " a dark empire ", alone with the heavy sin which " a stone will lie on soul ". For it life has ended. The output is not present.

Katerina finishes life by suicide. Its tragical history was typical for women similar to it in the middle of XIX century. In Kostroma there was a similar case in family of merchants Klykovyh.

Known critic Dobroljubov has named Katerinu " a ray of light in a dark empire ". Its suicide for an instant has illuminated bottomless gloom of " a dark empire ". And in its death, by words criticism, " the terrible call is given to self-bad force … " Suicide Kateriny is a protest against all Wild and Kabanih, the protest against all " a dark empire ". It will not be more victim of the callous mother-in-law, will not pine locked up more. Its tragical destruction - freedom!
