The love story of Grinev and Masha Mironova message. The love story of Grinev and Masha Mironova in "The Captain's Daughter"

The story by A. S. Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter” tells about the distant dramatic events that took place in Russia in the 18th century - the peasant uprising under the leadership of Emelyan Pugachev. Against the backdrop of these events, the story unfolds about the faithful and devoted love of two young people - Pyotr Grinev and Masha Mironova.

Aa╪b╓╟, located forty kilometers from Orenburg.CommandantThe fortress was captain Ivan Kuzmich Mironov. Here, in the fortress, Pyotr Grinev meets his love - Masha Mironova, the daughter of the commandant of the fortress, a girl “about eighteen years old, chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair, smoothly combed behind the ears.” Here, in the garrison, lived another officer exiled for a duel - Shvabrin. He was in love with Masha, wooed her, but was refused. Vengeful and angry by nature, Shvabrin could not forgive the girl for this, tried in every possible way to humiliate her, said obscene things about Masha. Grinev stood up for the girl’s honor and called Shvabrin a scoundrel, for which he challenged him to a duel. In the duel, Grinev was seriously wounded and after the injury he was in the Mironovs’ house.

Masha diligently looked after him. When Grinev recovered from his wound, he declared his love to Masha. She in turn told him about her feelings for him. It seemed that they had cloudless happiness ahead. But the love of young people still had to go through many tests. At first, Grinev’s father refused to bless his son for his marriage with Masha on the grounds that Peter, instead of honorably serving his Fatherland, was engaged in childish things - fighting a duel with a tomboy like himself. Masha, loving Grinev, never wanted to marry him without the consent of her parents. A quarrel arose between the lovers. Suffering from love and from the fact that his happiness could not take place, Grinev did not suspect that much more difficult trials awaited them ahead. “Pugachevism” reached the Belogorsk fortress. Its small garrison fought courageously and bravely, without betraying the oath, but the forces were unequal. The fortress fell. After the capture of the Belogorsk fortress by the rebels, all officers, including the commandant, were executed. Masha’s mother Vasilisa Egorovna also died, and she herself miraculously remained alive, but fell into the hands of Shvabrin, who kept her locked up, persuading her to marry. Remaining faithful to her lover, Masha decided to die rather than become the wife of Shvabrin, whom she hated. Having learned about Masha's cruel fate, Grinev, risking his own life, begs Pugachev to free Masha, passing her off as the daughter of a priest. But Shvabrin tells Pugachev that Masha is the daughter of the deceased commandant of the fortress. With incredible efforts, Grinev still managed to save her and send her along with Savelich to. estate to his parents. It would seem that there should finally be a happy ending. However, the trials of the lovers did not end there. Grinev is arrested, accused of being in league with the rebels, and an unjust sentence is passed: exile to eternal settlement in Siberia. Having learned about this, Masha goes to St. Petersburg, where she hoped to find protection from the Empress as the daughter of a man who suffered for his loyalty to the Empress. Where did this timid provincial girl, who had never been to the capital, get such strength, such courage? Love gave her this strength, this courage. She also helped her achieve justice. Pyotr Grinev was released and all charges against him were dropped. Thus, true, devoted love helped the heroes of the story endure all the hardships and trials that befell them.

In his novel “The Captain's Daughter,” Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin described things that are very important for a person’s decent life, such as honor, duty and love. It seems to me that in this novel the writer tried to describe the ideal relationship between two ordinary people, the Russian officer Pyotr Grinev and the captain’s daughter Maria Mironova.
Although most of the work is devoted to Grinev, the main character in the novel is Masha Mironova. It is in this sweet girl, the daughter of captain Ivan Mironov, that Pushkin describes the ideal of a daughter, woman and wife. In the work, Masha appears to us as a sweet, pure, kind, caring and very faithful girl.
Mary's beloved, Pyotr Grinev, was brought up from childhood in an atmosphere of high everyday morality. Peter's personality combines the caring, kind and loving heart of his mother and the honesty, courage and integrity that he inherited from his father.
Pyotr Grinev first meets Maria Mironova when he arrives at the Belogorsk fortress. Peter immediately forms the impression of Masha as a frivolous, frivolous girl. In short, Grinev perceives Masha as a simple “fool,” because this is exactly how officer Shvabrin describes the captain’s daughter to Petra. But soon Grinev notices in Maria a very kind, sympathetic and pleasant person, the complete opposite of Shvabrin’s description. Grinev imbues Masha with deep sympathy, and every day this sympathy became greater and greater. Listening to his feelings, Peter began to compose poems for his beloved, which became the reason for Shvabrin’s ridicule of Grinev. At this moment, we notice in Pyotr Grinev the qualities inherent in a real man. Peter stands up for his beloved Masha Mironova without any cowardice and, with a desire to defend the honor of the captain's daughter, sets up a duel with Shvabrin. The duel ended not in Grinev's favor, but not at all because of Grinev's weakness in front of Shvabrin, but because of a stupid situation that distracted Peter from his opponent. Result - Grinev was wounded in the chest.
But it was this event that became a turning point in the relationship between Mary and Peter. The first person whom the sick and weak Pyotr Grinev saw at his bedside after his “defeat” in a duel was his beloved Maria Mironova. At this moment, Peter’s feelings for Masha flared up in his heart even stronger and with renewed vigor. Without waiting, at that very second Grinev confessed his feelings to Masha and invited her to become his wife. Maria kissed Peter and confessed her mutual feelings to him. Worried about his already weak condition, she asked him to come to his senses and calm down, not to waste energy. At this moment we notice in Maria a caring and affectionate girl, worried about the condition of her beloved.
A new side of Masha is shown to us when Grinev receives a refusal from his father to bless his chosen one. Maria refuses to marry without the approval of her fiancé's parents. This situation reveals Masha Mironova to us as a pure, bright girl. In her opinion, without the blessing of his parents, Peter would not be happy. Masha thinks about the happiness of her beloved and is even ready to sacrifice her own. Maria admits the idea that Peter needs to find another wife who pleases the hearts of his parents. Without his beloved, Grinev loses the meaning of existence.
At the moment of the capture of the Belogorsk fortress, Maria remains an orphan. But even in such a difficult period for her, she remains true to her honor, she does not give in to Shvabrin’s attempts to marry her to himself. She decides that it is better to die altogether than to marry a man she despises.
Masha Mironova sends Grinev a letter telling about her suffering in Shvabrin’s captivity. Peter's heart breaks with excitement for his beloved, Mary's suffering is literally transferred to Peter. Grinev, without any army, sets off to save his beloved. At that moment, Peter did not think about anything except his beloved. Although the rescue of Maria is not complete without the help of Pugachev, Grinev and Masha are finally reunited. Having gone through such suffering and obstacles, two loving hearts still unite. Peter sends his bride to the village to live with his parents, worried for her safety. Now he is already sure that his father and mother will accept his bride, having gotten to know her better. Peter himself went to serve the Empress, because he must serve his Motherland, even risking his life. Not for the first time, Pyotr Grinev appears before us as a brave man.
Grinev’s service ended successfully, but trouble came from unexpected places. Grinev is accused of having friendly relations with Pugachev. The case turned out to be very serious, there were too many accusations. At that moment, when even Grinev’s parents lost faith in their son, only his beloved Maria believed in her fiancé. Masha decides to take a very risky and courageous act - she goes to the empress herself to prove the innocence of her fiancé. And she succeeds, thanks to her continuous faith in Peter and her love for him. Maria saves her lover, just as Grinev saved Maria a little earlier.
The novel ends more than happily. Two loving hearts united after going through many obstacles. And all these obstacles only strengthened the love of Maria Mironova and Pyotr Grinev. Two loving people have gained a lot through their mutual love. Maria gained courage that she had not previously possessed, but fear for the life of her beloved forced her to step over her fears. Thanks to mutual love for Masha, Pyotr Grinev became a real man - a man, a nobleman, a warrior.
The relationship of these heroes is the author's ideal of a relationship between a man and a woman, where the main thing is love, fidelity, reciprocity and endless devotion to each other.
P.s: I’m in 8th grade, I would like to hear criticism about my essay. Are there any semantic errors? Regarding punctuation, I would like to hear whether there are a lot of unnecessary punctuation marks, and vice versa, whether there are not enough. Thank you in advance for your help and criticism.

Anna, before I start criticizing the work, I want to say that for 8th grade this is a very good text. But it can be improved.

My comments.

1. "The Captain's Daughter" - a stylization of family notes. Pushkin hides under the guise of a Publisher and pretends that the author of the book is the supposedly real-life Pyotr Andreevich Grinev himself. Therefore, to state “although most of the work is devoted to Grinev, the main character in the novel is Masha Mironova” is incorrect both from the point of view of style (naturally, Grinev is not a “heroine”), and from the point of view of meaning.

2. No "Peter" and "Mary". These are heroes of the 18th century, not TV presenters. There are no such names in the book! There is Pyotr Andreevich or Petrusha and Marya Ivanovna or Masha.

3. A lot of retelling. Where is the analysis? More dynamic!

4. Masha is “sweet” too often. Too many “feelings” and words with the root “-love-”. No need to squeeze.

5. “Mary’s beloved, Peter Grinev, was brought up in an environment of high everyday morality from childhood. Peter’s personality combines the caring, kind and loving heart of his mother and the honesty, courage and directness that he inherited from his father.” - Oh... And Petrusha, until he was 16 years old, chased pigeons and played leapfrog, loved to listen to the tales of the bird-keeper Agafya, was a poor student and generally “grew up underage” (Doesn’t this remind you of Mitrofan? And Father Grinev’s address to Savelich “old dog” doesn’t remind "old Khrychovka" Eremeevna?).
Don’t be so pathetic about Grinev. He is most similar to the beloved hero of Russian fairy tales, Ivanushka the Fool, and not to Stirlitz, who “has a Nordic, self-possessed character” and who “impeccably fulfills his official duty.”

6. It must be said frankly that the love story of two fictional characters develops against the background of a page in the real tragic history of Russia (the actions of Pugachev’s army in the Orenburg province and the siege of the city). The characters go through tragic circumstances and grow up. They find support from the two main figures of the era - Pugachev and Catherine.

7. You should definitely mention the title (why “The Captain’s Daughter” and not “Masha and Petrusha”, or “Masha Mironova”, or “Love and Pugachevism”?). In difficult times, Masha awakens to the character of her hero father.

I won’t write about literacy. There are extra commas, and spelling with speech errors needs to be checked.
I repeat once again that overall the essay is not bad. It needs to be improved to make it great.


Thank you very much for your criticism. Today I re-read the essay with a fresh mind and found a lot of inaccuracies and made many corrections. And there really are a lot of extra commas. Thanks again for your help and evaluation of my essay.




I agree with Tatyana Vladimirovna, the essay as a whole is not bad, but it can and should be improved :) . I will also make a few comments:

The genre of "The Captain's Daughter" is not a novel, as you write, Anna, but a historical story. This is a factual error.

To avoid retelling, I advise you to find in the text the words that the characters themselves use to talk about their feelings throughout the story. These reference points will make it possible to analyze the development of love between Grinev and Masha, and it will be easier for you to correctly place emphasis in the essay.

There are a lot of errors, especially speech and grammatical ones.



Vera Mikhailovna, I wouldn’t scare the girl about a factual mistake.
Researchers define the genre of "The Captain's Daughter" in different ways. This is a controversial question, and there is no definitive answer to it.
Arguments in favor of the fact that this is a story: the event is in the center, the volume is average, the plot is chronicle, the number of side plot lines is minimal.
Arguments in favor of the novel: reliance on the fates of specific heroes, the private lives of the heroes are connected with the public life of the era; an indirect sign is CD's orientation towards the historical novels of Walter Scott.
Even the compilers of the Unified State Exam in literature cannot decide: either a story appears in the codifier, or a novel (for the last three years - a novel). Part B requires you to write a “novel.”
I personally am sure that this is a story, but another position also has a right to exist.



In "The Captain's Daughter" several storylines develop simultaneously. One of them is the love story of Pyotr Grinev and Masha Mironova. This love line continues throughout the novel. At first, Peter reacted negatively to Masha due to the fact that Shvabrin described her as “a complete fool.” But then Peter gets to know her better and discovers that she is “noble and sensitive.” He falls in love with her, and she also reciprocates his feelings.

Grinev loves Masha very much and is ready to do anything for her. He proves this more than once. When Shvabrin humiliates Masha, Grinev quarrels with him and even shoots himself. When Peter is faced with a choice: to obey the general’s decision and stay in the besieged city or to respond to Masha’s desperate cry “you are my only patron, intercede for me, poor thing!”, Grinev leaves Orenburg to save her. During the trial, risking his life, he does not consider it possible to name Masha, fearing that she will be subjected to a humiliating interrogation - “it occurred to me that if I named her, the commission would demand her to answer; and the idea of ​​entangling her among vile accusations villains and bring her to a confrontation..."

But Masha’s love for Grinev is deep and devoid of any selfish motives. She does not want to marry him without parental consent, thinking that otherwise Peter “will not have happiness.” From a timid “coward,” she, by the will of circumstances, is reborn into a decisive and persistent heroine who managed to achieve the triumph of justice. She goes to the empress's court to save her lover and defend her right to happiness. Masha was able to prove Grinev’s innocence, faithful to his oath. When Shvabrin wounds Grinev, Masha nurses him, “Marya Ivanovna never left my side.” Thus, Masha will save Grinev from shame, death and exile, just as he saved her from shame and death.

For Pyotr Grinev and Masha Mironova, everything ends well, and we see that no vicissitudes of fate can ever break a person if he is determined to fight for his principles, ideals, and love. An unprincipled and dishonest person, who has no sense of duty, often faces the fate of being left alone with his disgusting actions, baseness, meanness, without friends, loved ones and just close people.

Essay on the topic: Grinev’s love for Masha

The story “The Captain's Daughter” by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin touches on not only the theme of honor and loyalty, the theme of the peasant uprising, but also the theme of the protagonist’s love.

Seventeen-year-old Pyotr Grinev comes to serve in the Belogorsk fortress, where the commandant was Captain Ivan Kuzmich Mironov. Mironov lived permanently in the fortress with his wife and daughter Masha. At the first meeting with Mironov’s daughter, Peter saw a girl “about eighteen years old, chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair, smoothly combed behind the ears,” she did not make much of an impression on him, because Shvabrin called her a complete fool, and her mother said, that Masha, a stupid coward, almost fainted from the volleys of guns. But over time, Grinev realized that Masha was a very modest, sincere and prudent girl; with her simplicity and sincerity, she won Peter’s heart. he wrote poetry for her and decided to show it to Shvabrin, but he just laughed and advised him to buy a pair of earrings for her, then he would immediately gain favor. Peter, as a man of honor, could not tolerate such talk towards the girl and challenged Shvabrin to a duel, which ended with his injury. While he lay wounded, Masha looked after him and did not leave his side. Peter realized that he loved her very much and confessed his feelings, Masha reciprocated his feelings and said that her parents would be happy about her happiness. But their plans for a happy marriage were not destined to come true. they faced many difficulties.

At first, Peter’s father did not allow him to marry, and Masha could not get married without the blessing of her parents, then Emelyan Pugachev captured the fortress and killed Masha’s parents. Grinev had to leave the fortress, and Masha, after the horror she experienced, fell ill with a fever. Already in Orenburg, Grinev received a letter from Masha, in which she wrote that Shvabrin was keeping her locked up on water and bread, thus forcing her to marry him. she asked Peter for help. The general did not want to lead his soldiers to liberate the Belogorsk fortress, and Peter went alone to save Masha, since he could not leave his beloved in trouble. On the way, he met Pugachev and told about his misfortune, Emelyan promised to save the orphan. When they arrived at the fortress, Pugachev learned from Shvabrin that Masha was the daughter of a captain who did not want to go over to their side and was killed for it. Pugachev still pardoned Masha, but she did not even know how to accept such a release, because Pugachev was the murderer of her parents. Peter sends Masha to his parents, and he remains to serve further, but soon Pugachev was caught and it would seem that now no one can interfere with their happiness, but Peter is arrested as Emelyan’s accomplice. And here Masha’s strength of character and determination are revealed. She proves her love for Peter, goes to the empress to achieve Peter’s release, and everything works out for her.

The story by A. S. Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter” tells about the distant dramatic events that took place in Russia in the 18th century - the peasant uprising under the leadership of Emelyan Pugachev. Against the backdrop of these events, the story unfolds about the faithful and devoted love of two young people - Pyotr Grinev and Masha Mironova.

Aa╪b╓╟, located forty kilometers from Orenburg.CommandantThe fortress was captain Ivan Kuzmich Mironov. Here, in the fortress, Pyotr Grinev meets his love - Masha Mironova, the daughter of the commandant of the fortress, a girl “about eighteen years old, chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair, smoothly combed behind the ears.” Here, in the garrison, lived another officer exiled for a duel - Shvabrin. He was in love with Masha, wooed her, but was refused. Vengeful and angry by nature, Shvabrin could not forgive the girl for this, tried in every possible way to humiliate her, said obscene things about Masha. Grinev stood up for the girl’s honor and called Shvabrin a scoundrel, for which he challenged him to a duel. In the duel, Grinev was seriously wounded and after the injury he was in the Mironovs’ house.

Masha diligently looked after him. When Grinev recovered from his wound, he declared his love to Masha. She in turn told him about her feelings for him. It seemed that they had cloudless happiness ahead. But the love of young people still had to go through many tests. At first, Grinev’s father refused to bless his son for his marriage with Masha on the grounds that Peter, instead of honorably serving his Fatherland, was engaged in childish things - fighting a duel with a tomboy like himself. Masha, loving Grinev, never wanted to marry him without the consent of her parents. A quarrel arose between the lovers. Suffering from love and from the fact that his happiness could not take place, Grinev did not suspect that much more difficult trials awaited them ahead. “Pugachevism” reached the Belogorsk fortress. Its small garrison fought courageously and bravely, without betraying the oath, but the forces were unequal. The fortress fell. After the capture of the Belogorsk fortress by the rebels, all officers, including the commandant, were executed. Masha’s mother Vasilisa Egorovna also died, and she herself miraculously remained alive, but fell into the hands of Shvabrin, who kept her locked up, persuading her to marry. Remaining faithful to her lover, Masha decided to die rather than become the wife of Shvabrin, whom she hated. Having learned about Masha's cruel fate, Grinev, risking his own life, begs Pugachev to free Masha, passing her off as the daughter of a priest. But Shvabrin tells Pugachev that Masha is the daughter of the deceased commandant of the fortress. With incredible efforts, Grinev still managed to save her and send her along with Savelich to. estate to his parents. It would seem that there should finally be a happy ending. However, the trials of the lovers did not end there. Grinev is arrested, accused of being in league with the rebels, and an unjust sentence is passed: exile to eternal settlement in Siberia. Having learned about this, Masha goes to St. Petersburg, where she hoped to find protection from the Empress as the daughter of a man who suffered for his loyalty to the Empress. Where did this timid provincial girl, who had never been to the capital, get such strength, such courage? Love gave her this strength, this courage. She also helped her achieve justice. Pyotr Grinev was released and all charges against him were dropped. Thus, true, devoted love helped the heroes of the story endure all the hardships and trials that befell them.

We first meet this heroine when Grinev arrives at the Belogorsk fortress. At first, the modest and quiet girl did not make much of an impression on the hero: “... a girl of about eighteen, chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair, combed smoothly behind her ears, which was burning.”

Grinev was sure that Captain Mironov’s daughter was a “fool,” because his friend Shvabrin had told him this more than once. And Masha’s mother “added fuel to the fire” - she told Peter that her daughter was a “coward”: “...Ivan Kuzmich decided to shoot from our cannon on my name day, so she, my dear, almost went to the next world out of fear.” .

However, the hero soon realizes that Masha is a “prudent and sensitive girl.” Somehow, imperceptibly, true love arises between the heroes, which has withstood all the tests encountered along the way.

Probably the first time Masha showed her character was when she refused to marry Grinev without the blessing of his parents. According to this pure and bright girl, “without their blessing you will not be happy.” Masha, first of all, thinks about the happiness of her loved one, and for his sake she is ready to sacrifice her own. She even admits the idea that Grinev may find himself another wife - one that his parents will accept.

During the bloody events of the capture of the Belogorsk fortress, Masha loses both parents and remains an orphan. However, she passes this test with honor. Finding herself alone in the fortress, surrounded by enemies, Masha does not succumb to Shvabrin’s pressure - she remains faithful to Pyotr Grinev to the end. Nothing can force a girl to betray her love, to become the wife of a man whom she despises: “He is not my husband. I will never be his wife! I decided better to die, and I will die if they don’t deliver me.”

Masha finds an opportunity to give Grinev a letter in which she tells about her misfortune. And Peter saves Masha. Now it becomes clear to everyone that these heroes will be together, that they are destiny for each other. Therefore, Grinev sends Masha to his parents, who accept her as a daughter. And soon they begin to love her for her human merits, because it is this girl who saves her lover from slander and trial.

After Peter's arrest, when there is no hope left for his release, Masha decides to take an unheard of act. She goes alone to the empress herself and tells her about all the events, asking Catherine for mercy. And she, having taken a liking to the sincere and brave girl, helps her: “Your matter is over. I am convinced of your fiancé’s innocence.”

Thus, Masha saves Grinev, just as he, a little earlier, saved his bride. The relationship of these heroes, it seems to me, is the author’s ideal of a relationship between a man and a woman, where the main things are love, respect, and selfless devotion to each other.
