Many works of A.S. are devoted to the problem of fidelity and betrayal. Pushkin. Thus, it tells about the betrayal of Hetman of Ukraine Mazepa. He rebels against the power of Russia and Peter personallyIand enters into an alliance with the King of Sweden - CharlesXII. The reason for betrayal of the Fatherland and Mazepa’s hatred of the Russian Tsar is the insult once inflicted by Peter Mazepa. The tsar grabbed the hetman by the mustache for saying a bold word. After the defeat of the Swedish troops near Poltava, the traitor had to flee shamefully.

also raises the problem of fidelity and betrayal, which is closely related to main problem works - honor and dishonor. Loyalty here can be considered both in the personal aspect and in the social one. So, main character works - Pyotr Grinev - refuses to swear allegiance to the rebel Emelyan Pugachev and is ready to accept death, saying that he has already sworn allegiance to Mother Empress. This is not his opponent and former comrade for service in the Belogorsk fortress - Alexey Shvabrin. This hero easily gives up the officer’s sword and becomes subordinate to Pugachev.

Pyotr Grinev is faithful to his love for Masha Mironova: having promised the girl to marry her, he does not resign himself to the prohibition of his parents, who refused to bless the lovers. The hero is also not stopped by the capture of Masha by Shvabrin, who is now in command Belogorsk fortress and holds the daughter of his former boss, forcibly persuading her to marry him. Grinev does not give up on his decision to rescue Masha from Shvabrin’s hands and goes to the fortress, despite the fact that the head of the Orenburg garrison denies the hero military support. Peter goes to Pugachev for help, telling him about the arbitrariness of his former comrade.

Masha Mironova is also faithful to her love; she directly states that it is better for her to die than to marry someone she doesn’t love.

The hero also turned out to be a traitor to the oath

Taras’s youngest son, Andriy, betrays his comrades and his homeland because of his love for the Polish lady:

he says to the lady when he secretly comes to her in a city besieged by the Cossacks. Taras Bulba is unable to endure such humiliation. He cannot forgive his son for betrayal and in one of the battles, where Andriy fights on the side of the Poles, he lures him into the forest and kills him. Unlike Andriy, Taras’s eldest son, Ostap, having been captured by the Poles, does not bow his head to the enemy. He is being tortured, but not a single groan escapes his chest; after terrible torture Ostap is executed.

the problem of fidelity and betrayal is also the most important. Frightened by the “opinion of the world”, afraid of losing his reputation, Onegin does not reconcile with Lensky, changes them friendly relations. Although it was so easy to avoid a duel. The main character himself understood that Vladimir’s little lie that at Tatyana’s name day there would only be a close family circle in order to force him, Onegin, to accept the invitation, and further flirting “in revenge” with Lensky’s fiancée, Olga, was an insignificant reason for the fight. And Vladimir, the very next morning after the name day, having stopped by to see Olga before the duel and seeing her joy and happiness from meeting him, realizes that for her yesterday’s dancing and conversations with Onegin were nothing more than entertainment.

An example of true fidelity in this work is main character- Tatyana Larina. She falls in love with Onegin at first sight and retains this feeling even after she realizes that her lover is not the same romantic hero, as her imagination painted him. Even after marrying distant relative Onegin - the famous general, in her soul she continues to remain faithful to her first love. Despite this, Tatiana denies Evgeny mutual feelings when he returns to Russia after several years of wandering and falls in love with the transformed Tatiana. She answers him with bitterness and pride:

True to your feelings and

Alexey Berestov falls in love with a peasant girl Akulina, whom Liza Muromskaya, the daughter of the Berestovs’ neighbor, nobleman Grigory Ivanovich Muromsky, pretends to be. Because of the stupid enmity between Berestov and Muromsky, their children never saw each other. All this allowed the story that Pushkin tells so fascinatingly to happen. Alexey Berestov falls so in love with Lisa-Akulina that he intends to unite with her for life, educate her and, as they say, die on the same day. He understands that he will never receive his father's blessing for this unequal marriage and therefore will probably lose his inheritance, but that doesn't stop young man, ready to go to the end in his feelings.

out of envy and jealousy, he betrays Pechorin, since he turned out to be happier than him in love. Princess Mary Ligovskaya, who previously sympathized with Grushnitsky, who had his own plans for the girl, falls in love with Pechorin. Devoid of generosity, Grushnitsky cannot forgive Pechorin for his defeat and decides to take a vile step - a dishonest duel. He slanderes Pechorin, accusing him of having a close relationship with Princess Mary, and during the duel he offers his former friend a pistol loaded with blank cartridges.

An example of true loyalty is the attitude of Dmitry Razumikhin, one of the heroes

to his friend - the main character of the work, Rodion Raskolnikov. It is Razumikhin who supports Raskolnikov when he rushes about in terrible agony, trying to avoid his planned murder of the old pawnbroker. Dmitry knows nothing about Raskolnikov’s plans, but sees that he is in distress, so, without hesitation, he offers him his students to give him the opportunity to earn extra money. It is Razumikhin who finds Raskolnikov after the crime has been committed, when he lies delirious in his room, which looks like a coffin. It is he who calls the doctor and then literally spoon-feeds the main character. Razumikhin takes care of Raskolnikov’s mother and sister when they come to St. Petersburg. Later, when Raskolnikov is sentenced to hard labor, Dmitry, who by that time had married Rodion’s sister Dunya, decides to accumulate initial capital in four years and go to Siberia, closer to Raskolnikov’s prison.

engaged to Andrei Bolkonsky, she succumbs to the passion that flared up in her upon meeting Anatoly Kuragin. She yearns for Bolkonsky, who left her to go abroad for treatment, but Kuragin’s vicious beauty makes the girl forget about her groom for a while. Natasha thinks that her feelings for Anatole are real, and most importantly, mutual; she refuses to believe persistent rumors about Kuragin’s dishonesty and debauchery. The girl even decides to run away with him. Fortunately, the escape did not take place. But Natasha had to be bitterly disappointed in Anatole. She understands how much she hurt both Andrei and her family, what shame she brought upon all of them. Realization of her wrongness forces the girl to turn to God, she repents and fervently prays for forgiveness. At the end of the novel, we see how the dying Bolkonsky forgives Natasha for her action, when the girl comes to him and says that she knows how “bad” she was, but now she has changed.

This is not the case with the other heroine of the novel, Helen Kuragina. Like her brother Anatole, she is vicious and selfish. Without particularly hiding from her husband, Pierre Bezukhov, she surrounds herself with favorites. Pierre finds out about this and leaves Helene, but the woman doesn’t care much about this. The main thing is that her husband does not stop paying her bills. Subsequently, she decides to divorce Pierre by any means. It was at this time that Helen meets two men and painfully tries to choose between them, dreaming of being able to marry two at once.

we see how he remains faithful to the first and only love heroine Nadezhda. Very young, she, who served under the gentlemen in the house, fell in love with a young master - Nikolai Alekseevich. According to Nadezhda, she gave him all “her youth, her passion,” and was left with nothing. The young master left her and married a girl from his circle. Having met by chance thirty years later at the inn that Nadezhda kept, Colonel Nikolai Alekseevich remembers how charming the girl was in her youth. He asks Nadezhda for forgiveness for his action thirty years ago, kisses her hands and admits that he has never been happy in his life. Leaving, he thinks that it was really Nadezhda who gave him not just the best, but truly magical moments of his life, but he immediately betrays his memories. "Nonsense!" - the hero thinks. “What would we have done if I hadn’t left her then?” Driven by social prejudices and his own egoism, Nikolai Alekseevich cannot imagine Nadezhda as the mother of his children and the mistress of his house.

Bunin’s other heroine also remains faithful to her first love

Having seen off the groom to war, she soon learns of his death. And there was a lot more in her life after their last date: the hardships of revolutionary times, the death of parents, marriage, leaving revolutionary Russia, wandering around Europe, earning a living through hard work. But even after so many years, where there seemed to be so much and different everything left, the already aged heroine asks the question: “What happened in my life? And he answers himself: “Only the cold one autumn evening" My whole life fit into one day - the day when I was young and in love.

Sergei Ivanovich Talberg betrays his wife Elena and abandons her in the city, which is about to be captured by Petliura’s troops, and he himself flees to Germany, where he will soon marry another woman.

Margarita remains faithful to the Master even when he disappears without a trace. She does everything to find her beloved and save him and his brainchild - a novel about Pontius Pilate and Yeshua Ha-Nozri. Margarita even agrees to sell her soul to the devil. After all, for her, eternal bliss in heaven is nothing without the one whom she has been waiting for all her life, whom she was looking for once with yellow flowers in hand. And the woman’s loyalty is rewarded: the Master is found, and his romance is resurrected from the ashes. And even Margarita’s act - selling her own soul - is forgiven. After all, this was not done for the sake of ephemeral things like money, fame or eternal youth. She sacrificed her soul to save another person, and this is an important circumstance for forgiveness.

We see a traitor to the Motherland

Having been captured by the Nazis along with his partner Sotnikov, the partisan Rybak becomes a traitor. Seeing the bloody hands of his comrade, who was dragged into the basement after torture, Rybak thinks that he will not give in so easily... During the interrogation, he answers intelligently, cunningly and tries to please the policeman. The next day, Sotnikov, Rybak and several other peasants who were hiding them are led to execution. Sotnikov tries to save his comrade and shouts that it was he who killed the policeman, and Rybak had nothing to do with it, having happened to be nearby by accident. But this does not affect the fascists’ servants – the local policemen. Seeing that his life is doomed, Rybak falls at the feet of the Germans and agrees to cooperate. The Churbak had to be knocked out from under Sotnikov: the Germans needed to check Rybak “in action”, to “bind his hand” with the blood of a Russian partisan. After this, the hero still hopes to escape, but, looking into the hate-filled eyes of the peasant man who saw the execution, he understands that after what he has done, he has nowhere to run...

The main character, Sanya Grigoriev, is the personification of loyalty - loyalty to the word, idea, love. So, he does not give up the idea of ​​​​proving that he is right about the fact that the polar expedition of Captain Tatarinov ruined him brother– Nikolai Antonovich Tatarinov, and Captain Tatarinov himself made a great geographical discovery. While still just a boy, he is not afraid of Nikolai Antonovich’s anger. Sanka is also faithful to his love for Katya Tatarinova, carrying this feeling in his heart all his life. In turn, Katya is devoted to Sanya. So, she refuses to believe that her husband died during the bombing of a medical trip and rejects the help of Grigoriev’s eternal enemy - Mikhail Romashov, who brought terrible news to Katya. ⁠ « Loyalty and betrayal»

Confirm or refute the words of F. Schiller: " True love helps to bear all the hardships"

What is true love? For me, this is the love for which people sacrifice themselves, change, make compromises in order to be together as long as possible. And, of course, true love implies constant support and support in both joy and sorrow. Thus, I fully support the words of F. Schiller that true love helps to endure all hardships. The correctness of this point of view can be proven by examples from the literature.

Let's turn to Nicholas Sparks' novel The Notebook. This novel tells about the true and true love. The main characters Noah and Ellie fall in love with each other at first sight, they are so interesting to each other that Ellie, despite the will of her parents, continues to date Noah. Ellie is forced to leave for hometown. Young people promise each other that their love will be eternal. After fourteen years of separation, they meet and are once again intoxicated by intimacy. Ellie completely changes her life plans. They get married, have five children and live for each other. In her old age, Ellie was given a terrible diagnosis - Alzheimer's disease. Noah did not give up and tried to the end to restore the memory of his beloved, reading his memory diary, where the days spent together were so well described. The author shows that true love helps heroes live wonderful life and overcome adversity.

Another work confirming Schiller’s words is the novel by F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment". Sonya Marmeladova is a vicious girl, and at first glance you might think that she is the same criminal as Raskolnikov. But it is she who puts Rodion on the path of repentance. This defenseless, weak and fragile girl falls in love with Raskolnikov, follows him to hard labor and endures his indifference. Over time, Raskolnikov realizes that he has no one closer to Sonya. He rethinks everything he has done and is resurrected to move on with his life. If it weren’t for Sonya’s faithful love, it’s scary to imagine the fate of this hero.

Love, which is based on self-sacrifice, the desire to be with a person and support him in all situations, can be the strongest. Stronger than poverty, misfortune, hard labor and even disease. And it is this kind of love that will help you endure all the hardships of life. I hope I'm lucky and find just such love.

All arguments for the final essay in the direction of “Loyalty and Treason.”


What does cheating lead to? What are the dangers of cheating? What pushes a person to cheat?

Pechorin's betrayal of Bela. Can spiritual betrayal be worse than physical betrayal?

The theme of spiritual betrayal is revealed in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "Hero of Our Time". So, Gregory one day meets unusual girl Belu. She captivates him with her beauty and mystery, so Pechorin decides to steal her. Bela initially resists, but then she falls in love with the “thief.” Her loyalty to her beloved has no boundaries. She is ready to give up her home, family and traditions in order to be with her lover. Pechorin becomes bored over time. He comes to the conclusion that all women are the same, and no longer rejoices at the love that Bela gives him. He does not cheat on her physically, but in his soul he abandons her, dreaming of travel. The girl understands this, but cannot leave Gregory, because she is faithful to her choice. Even before her death, her only concern is that they will not be able to be together in heaven, because Bela belongs to a different faith. From the relationship between Bela and Pechorin, we can conclude that the worst betrayal is not associated with external manifestations, it is located deep inside a person, but can bring much greater harm. Spiritual betrayal hurts just as much as physical betrayal, sometimes even more.

HERO OF OUR TIME ANALYSIS
Pechorin's betrayal of Vera/Vera's loyalty. Do you agree with the statement: “whoever has never sworn allegiance will never break it”

Vera sacrificed herself for Pechorin, gave up family happiness, and risked losing her reputation. In her heart, she hoped for their possible happiness. Pechorin's betrayal lay in the fact that he accepted this sacrifice, but gave nothing in return. When his beloved woman was going through difficult moments, he was not there, he dragged himself after Mary, whom he did not even love. Pechorin betrayed the only person, who truly loved him and accepted him for who he is. He used it “as a source of joys and anxieties, without which life is boring and monotonous.” Vera understood this, but sacrificed herself, hoping that one day he would appreciate this sacrifice. For Vera, Grigory was everything, while for Pechorin she was only an episode, important, but not the only one. Disappointment awaited her, because a person capable of spiritual betrayal cannot bring happiness.

Betrayal of Faith (marriage without love). Why do people cheat? What are the reasons for betrayal and betrayal? What pushes a person to cheat?

People cheat for various reasons, but most often betrayal happens when people do not marry for love. Such an example can be seen in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "Hero of Our Time".

What does cheating lead to? Why is treason dangerous? What pushes a person to cheat?


In the novel "" L.N. For Tolstoy, the problem of betrayal is key. So, the main character of the work cheats on her husband. This betrayal becomes fatal not only for herself, but also for all the people around her. Betrayal destroyed the lives of her loved ones and hurt her son. Anna never loved her husband, he was much older than her, their relationship was built only on respect. Her husband was a man of high position and was respected. When Anna’s connection with Vronsky became obvious, Karenin tried to hide Anna’s betrayal, to create the appearance of well-being, but for Anna this would have been a betrayal of herself. Despite the fact that the reason for the betrayal was the appearance of love in Anna's life, the betrayal became her the main tragedy. When she decided to ignore social norms, those around her rejected her and made her an outcast. Her husband deprived her of the opportunity to raise her son, who suffered greatly from the lack of maternal affection. Vronsky's career was also destroyed, as was his relationship with his family. Alexei Karenin, insulted by his wife, suffers from loneliness, and therefore falls under the influence of Princess Myagkova. She persuades him not to give Anna a divorce. All the sorrows and hardships do not allow Anna to feel happy with Vronsky, so she decides to throw herself under the train. Her death made her relatives unhappy: her son was left without a mother, and Vronsky went to war. Thus, we see that betrayal only brings destruction; everyone around us suffers from the betrayal of one person.

How does betrayal affect relationships?


In the novel "" L.N. For Tolstoy, the problem of betrayal is key. “Everything is mixed up in the Oblonskys’ house,” with these words we learn about the problems of one family. The reason for the discord was Stiva's betrayal of his wife Dolly. Oblonsky stopped loving his wife; she no longer seemed beautiful to him. His self-esteem was so high that he even justified himself. Dolly was always devoted to her husband, bore him many children, the whole meaning of her life was in the family. After she found out about her husband’s betrayal, the whole world turned upside down, the pain was so strong that it was on the verge between mental and physical. Her love for her husband was strong, and therefore she could not leave him. They reconciled, but Stiva’s betrayal forever destroyed the trust between the spouses and destroyed Dolly’s idea of ​​bright love. Peace in their family after the betrayal became a semblance, and the betrayal forever separated these two people.

Loyalty in love. Confirm or refute Schiller’s statement: “True love helps to endure all hardships.”

The main characters of O. Henry's story “The Gift of the Volkhov” - married couple found herself in distress financial situation, but remained faithful to each other. Della and Jim teach the reader that in order to be happy, you don’t have to have a lot, it’s enough to love. It is their mutual love and loyalty that helps them cope with difficult life situations and fills life with endless happiness.


“What does it mean to be faithful?” How do you understand the word “fidelity”? What is eternal fidelity? What is loyalty to a loved one?
An argument from E. Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights.”

Many years ago, Mr. Earnshaw picked up a dying child and adopted him as his son, naming him Heathcliff. Mr. Earnshaw already had two children at that time. Their names were Catherine and Hindley. From the very beginning, Katherine and H. had a wonderful relationship, they were inseparable.
Catherine is a freedom-loving, selfish and slightly spoiled young girl who, having grown up, fell in love with Heathcliff as much as he loved her. However, she considered that he was not suitable for her husband, since he was not well educated and poor. Instead, Catherine married her friend Edgar Linton. This hurt Heathcliff greatly and he left Wuthering Heights. Three years later he returned, maintaining his love for Catherine and fierce hatred for Linton. They hated each other to such an extent that pregnant Katherine became physically and mentally ill. Before her death, Catherine and Heathcliff had a night conversation, in which Catherine admitted that she had always loved only him.
Even after her death, Heathcliff continued to love his K., destroying the lives of those around him in revenge for his grief. Before his death, Heathcliff lost his mind and walked through the mountains, calling on the ghost of Catherine.
This hero has always been perceived ambiguously. On the one hand, he is capable of true eternal love, on the other hand, his being is taken over by vindictiveness and cruelty. One way or another, Wuthering Heights is a story about fidelity in love. Heathcliff always loved Catherine, even when he did not know about reciprocity, when she was carrying someone else's child under her heart. Neither time, nor Catherine's betrayal, nor even death could destroy his feelings.


What is loyalty? How is loyalty to one's affections demonstrated?


The story "" by A. Maurois shows fidelity to his affections. A character named Andre is a student at the Ecole Polytechnique, secretly in love with the actress Jenny. She, in turn, does not take her admirers seriously, since her profession does not allow her to be distracted by every admirer. However, Andre's beautiful gestures cannot leave Jenny indifferent. Every Wednesday, with enviable consistency, he brings her a bouquet of violets, without even trying to talk to her. He arouses her interest with his precise, clock-like gestures of attention. One day, a student in love disappears from her life and dies in the war. Soon Father Andre appears, who tells that the young man loved Jenny all his short life, and that he died trying to “earn” her love through a feat in the war. This loyalty touches the strict Jenny. She laments that she never met Andre, and he never learned that for her “modesty, constancy and nobility are better than any feat.”
Next we see her already aged, but unchanged in one thing: every Wednesday she wears her to a devoted friend violets. Both heroes of the story are examples of fidelity. Andre was true to his feelings, not needing any guarantees from Jenny; she, in turn, remained true to her word and for many years invariably bore flowers to the person to whom she was grateful for her love.

Treason. Why do people cheat?

Natasha Rostova could not remain faithful to Andrei. She spiritually cheated on him with Anatoly Kuragin, even wanted to run away with him.
She was pushed to cheat on 2 reasons: lack of worldly wisdom, inexperience, as well as uncertainty about Andrei and her future with him. When leaving Natasha, Andrei did not clarify personal matters with her, did not give her confidence in her position. Anatol Kuragin, taking advantage of Natasha’s inexperience, seduced her. Rostova, due to her age, was unable to think about the consequences of her choice; only chance saved her from shame.


How is a lack of moral principles related to cheating?

Helen Kuragina in the novel is presented as a person with a lack of moral principles. That’s why the concept of fidelity is alien to her. In life, she is guided only by profit, she makes all decisions to serve her own interests, the feelings of other people mean nothing to her. When she married Pierre, she did not realize that she could hurt him, and thought only about material gain. Helene did not love Pierre and did not want children from him. Therefore, the marriage was doomed to death. Her numerous infidelities left no chance for their union. As a result, Pierre suggested breaking up with her because he could no longer tolerate the shame.


Loyalty to yourself (Tatiana).
Is it important to be true to yourself? What does it mean to be true to yourself and your word?

But I was given to someone else—precisely given, not given away! Eternal loyalty - to whom and in what? This loyalty to such relationships, which are illuminated by love, others, in her understanding, are immoral... Tatyana cannot despise public opinion, but can sacrifice it modestly, without phrases, without self-praise, understanding the greatness of her sacrifice, the full burden of the curse that she takes upon herself, obeying another higher law - the law of her nature, and her nature is love and self-sacrifice...”
Tatyana is faithful not so much to her husband or Onegin, but, above all, to her principles, her nature, her ideas about herself and her principles.

Do you always need to be true to your principles? A stupid person is the one who never changes his opinion. He who never changes his views loves himself more than the truth. (J.Joubert)

Loyalty to yourself and your principles is considered positive quality However, a person who never changes his ideas about life and people is static, he limits himself. The main character of the novel M.Yu. Lermontov "Hero of Our Time" Pechorin - strong personality with a strong-willed character, a person true to himself. This quality plays a cruel joke on him. Unable to change his ideas about life, he looks for a catch in everything: he does not believe in friendship, considering it a weakness, and perceives love only as the satisfaction of his pride. Throughout the novel, we see how the hero tries to understand the meaning of life, to find his destiny, but finds only disappointment. The reason for the disappointment is Pechorin’s insensitivity to the feelings of other people, he cannot forgive them for their weaknesses and open his soul, he is afraid of seeming funny to others and even to himself. In the chapter “Princess Mary” we see how hard Gregory experiences the departure of his beloved woman; he rushes after her, but his horse dies on the road, and he, exhausted, falls to the ground and cries. At this moment we understand how deeply the hero is capable of feeling, but even in such a situation he thinks that he looks pathetic. By the morning he returns to his usual state and attributes his manifestation of humanity to frayed nerves. Analyzing the behavior of the main character of the work, we can conclude that loyalty to one’s principles is a positive quality only in a situation where these principles are dictated by philanthropy and not selfishness. A person must be open to something new, be able to admit the fallacy of his judgments. Only this will allow a person to become the best version yourself.

Pechorin needed Mary to annoy Grushnitsky. Such behavior can be called vile; it deserves only condemnation. It doesn’t matter whether Pechorin considered Grushnitsky his friend or not, he had no right to do this to a person who trusted him.

How strong can a dog's loyalty be? Can you call a dog your most faithful friend? “Whoever has experienced affection for a faithful and intelligent dog, there is no need to explain with what ardent gratitude she pays for it.”

Dog - best friend person. This truth is as old as time. Troepolsky tells us the touching story of a lifelong friendship between the writer Ivan Ivanovich and the unusually colored puppy Bim. When Ivan Ivanovich fell ill and was sent to the hospital, Bim waited for him, searched the streets of the city and refused to eat. He encountered cruel world people, he was beaten and offended, but he continued to look for his friend. There were people ready to accept him, but the dog believed that someday an owner would definitely be found. He died without knowing that Ivan Ivanovich had come for him. This heartbreaking story is compelling proof of a dog's loyalty to its human.

Can a dog betray its owner? “Loyalty is a quality that people have lost, but dogs have retained” A.P. Chekhov.


One day a dog named Kashtanka got lost. Fate brought her to interesting company circus animals and their leader Ivan Ivanovich. There she quickly became
“hers” and it seemed that she had forgotten about her owner and found a new one.

Therefore, having heard the voice of his old master Luke in auditorium, Kashtanka ran to him.

Animals' loyalty to their owners.
Mutual devotion of man and animal / How is the loyalty of animals to their owners manifested?

It's no secret that animals are distinguished by their devotion to their owners. Proof of this can be found in the novel “Hero of Our Time” by M.Yu. Lermontov. In the chapter "Bela" there is story line, associated with Kazbich and his horse Karagöz. For Kazbich, Karagez is not just a horse, it is a faithful friend who was with him in the most difficult moments of his life. When Kazbich was attacked, Karagez showed himself very bravely: he distracted the enemies and then returned for his master. The horse helped him out more than once on campaigns. Kazbich treated Karagez as a close friend; he was the most important being for him. This is how Kazbich describes his attitude towards his comrade in arms:

"There are many beauties in our villages,
The stars shine in the darkness of their eyes.
It is sweet to love them, an enviable lot;
But valiant will is more fun.
Gold will buy four wives
A dashing horse has no price:
He won’t lag behind the whirlwind in the steppe,
He won't change, he won't deceive."

For Kazbich, the loss of his friend was a huge tragedy. When Azamat stole Karagez, the dashing Circassian was inconsolable: “... fell to the ground and sobbed like a child.” So he lay there “until late at night and all night..”. Kazbich's relationship with his horse - shining example mutual devotion between man and animal.
