EDUCATING THE SOCIAL DISCOURSE ASPECTS OF THE XIX CENTURY WITH THE CASE OF KREUTZER SONATA” L.N. TOLSTOGO

Abstract

“Kreutzer Sonata” L.N. Tolstoy is one of the key works of the late XIX century. The publication of the story served as an impetus that caused a wide discussion of the problems of family, marriage, gender, and the status of women.  The ban on censorship only contributed to an increase in interest in the story. Kreutzer's sonata was read not only in capitals and large cities, but also in remote counties. The object of discussion was family values based on the concepts of marriage set forth in the Bible and the teachings of the Holy Fathers. The words of the main character of Pozdnyshev show flaws in the Orthodox marriage.
