Abstract

The article proposes an interpretation of Nikolai Nekrasov's poem "In the Village," according to which it cannot be considered as a work aimed at social criticism, the protection of the weak and lowly from the strong and noble. In his text, the poet speaks, instead, of the vulnerability and weakness of every human being in the face of nature and the world, and the inevitability of final defeat and death. Thus, Nekrasov defends the right of any person (including himself), regardless of her social status, to complain and be pitied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
