Today we’ll talk about the work of N. V. Gogol called "Nevsky Prospect." Her main characters are Pirogov and Piskarev. The comparative characteristics of these people will be considered in this material. The future work once began with sketches of the St. Petersburg landscape, which the author made in 1831.
About work
As already mentioned, the author of the work we are interested in today is N.V. Gogol. Nevsky Prospect is part of a series called St. Petersburg Tales. An uncomplicated story begins with a description of St. Petersburg Avenue in different time periods. Further, the reader will find out who Piskarev and Pirogov are. Comparison of them begins with the first few lines of the story. This is a lieutenant and an artist.
Date
The goal of these young people is to follow the ladies who walk along the avenue. Romantic artist really wants to fall in love. He chooses a brunette. Goes after her. Entering the house after the girl, the hero becomes sober, realizes that in front of him is a brothel, a stranger, in turn, a prostitute. Piskarev does not want to accept that the creation of heavenly beauty is a fallen woman who is in an obscene institution, and also conducts vulgar conversations. His friend is much more down to earth and takes things simpler. So we analyzed one event that Pirogov and Piskarev experienced.
The comparative characteristic in this case is based on the completely opposite perception of what is happening. Noteworthy was the situation with Pirogov. In the ill-fated evening, he decided to hit a blonde. As a result, I got into the home of a German who demands to cut off his own nose, because he is not sober. The shoemaker had to do this. Pirogov intervenes. Gets caught up and calmly leaves.
Outlook on things
Let us now take a look at what life goals Pirogov and Piskarev had. Comparative characteristics can be based precisely on their beliefs and principles. Pirogov is engaged in finding a place under the sun by any means. At the same time, he does not torment himself with thoughts of love or morality. He lives solely for his own pleasure. Gogol of this character made a symbol of vulgarity. He is interested in light and fashion. His only desire is to appear in high society. Superficially, he can judge art and literature. It's not that he likes, just, in his opinion, talking about high is a sign of good taste. The second hero lives for the sake of art.

The comparative characterization of the heroes confirms that they have absolutely opposite views on their own existence, on women, and on different situations. This also applies to posts. Pirogov's
cherished desire is the rank. For him, this is a pass to a free and bright life. Very much Pirogov is proud of his rank. The author shows how a position can replace a person. There was nothing decent left in Pirogov. He behaves contemptuously and arrogantly with those people on whom he does not depend. At the same time, he is cringing to all his superiors. We can say that the carving of Pirogov is a test for his honor. The hero’s anger quickly cooled, which means that there is no dignity in his soul. Piskarev is a completely different person. Gogol is a halftone artist who contrasts heroes to some extent even in lighting. Piskarev is the evening hero, Pirogov is daytime, gray and ordinary. They are completely different. Many like Pirogov. Piskarev few. The artist described in the story is a person who knows
what compassion, love, dignity and honor are. So we examined who the heroes of Pirogov and Piskarev really are. A comparative description of these characters is given above.
