Storm. Ostrovsky A.N.

“Thunderstorm” is one of the most famous plays by Alexander Nikolayevich Ostrovsky. Its action takes place in the first half of the 19th century on the banks of the Volga in the fictional city of Kalinov. The main character Katerina lived in the house of her parents in love and care. But everything changed when she married Tikhon and began to live in the Kabanov family, where the Domostroy reigned and the mother of Tikhon - Marfa Ignatievna Kabanova reigned. The tragic fate of Katerina, a defenseless woman, suffocating in a heavy atmosphere of a patriarchal family dreaming of freedom, no accident became a symbol of Russian life at a fracture of two eras.
