Characterization of three heroes in the work after the ball (Tolstoy L.N.) and received the best answer

Answer from CARAMELKA[guru]

From love for her, I.V. "was happy, blessed, ... was ... some kind of unearthly creature that knows no evil and is capable of good alone." The hero feels that he loves all people. All of them are so wonderful: the hospitable leader with his wife, and the plump-shouldered lady, and Varenka's father, who danced with his daughter so touchingly and carefully. The young people spent the whole evening together.
After that, under the influence of impressions, IV goes to wander around the city. In the morning, on the first day of Great Lent, I.V. comes across a terrible picture. He sees the punishment of the fugitive Tatar. He is passed through the line of soldiers, each of whom whips the Tatar's bare back with gauntlets. The back of the Tatar turned into a mess: “variegated, wet, red.” The unfortunate Tatar begs the soldiers for mercy: "Brothers, have mercy." But Colonel B., Varenka's father, strictly followed so that "the brothers would not show mercy." He walked with a "firm, trembling gait" paired with a Tatar. One of the soldiers “smears”, weakens the blow, for which Colonel B. hits him in the face. IV was horrified by what he saw. He thought that the colonel probably knew something that allowed him to behave like that both at the ball and on the parade ground. But the hero himself is not capable of such hypocrisy. He refuses military service and from marrying Varenka.

Answer from Igor Veselko[newbie]
Ivan Vasilyevich is the main character of the story. The story is told from his perspective.
The story takes place in a provincial town in the 1840s. At that time I. V. was a student and lived enjoying his youth. At Shrovetide, the hero was invited to a ball to the provincial marshal. The “lady of his heart” was also present - Varenka B.
From love for her, I.V. “was happy, blessed, ... was ... some kind of unearthly creature that knows no evil and is capable of only good.” The hero feels that he loves all people. All of them are so wonderful: the hospitable leader with his wife, and the plump-shouldered lady, and Varenka's father, who danced with his daughter so touchingly and carefully. The young people spent the whole evening together.
After that, under the influence of impressions, IV goes to wander around the city. In the morning, on the first day of Great Lent, I.V. comes across a terrible picture. He sees the punishment of the fugitive Tatar. He is passed through the line of soldiers, each of whom whips the Tatar's bare back with gauntlets. The Tatar's back turned into a mess: "variegated, wet, red." The unfortunate Tatar begs the soldiers for mercy: "Brothers, have mercy."

He refuses military service and from marrying Varenka.
Pyotr Vladislavovich (Colonel B.) is the father of Varenka, Ivan Vasilyevich's lover. He is "a military commander of the type of an old campaigner of the Nikolaev bearing." P.V. is handsome, stately, tall. He has a ruddy face, a white mustache and sideburns, "an affectionate joyful smile ... in sparkling eyes and lips."
P. V. was accustomed both in the service and in society to do everything “according to the law.” Dancing with his daughter, the colonel observes all the rules of etiquette. On the parade ground, he, with skill, controls the execution of a fugitive Tatar. Holding a suede-gloved hand on the daughter's waist and hitting a soldier's face with the same suede-gloved hand does not make much difference to P.V. In Ivan Vasilyevich's imagination, the image of Colonel B. splits into two: the angelic features of the hero (his appearance at the ball) begin to intertwine with demonic features (the scene of the punishment of the Tatar), showing the true appearance of P.V.

The story is narrated on behalf of Ivan Vasilyevich, who, answering the question of what is needed for personal perfection, shares an event that changed his life.

While studying at the university, he was in love with a girl named Varenka. Once, on Shrove Tuesday, at a ball at the governor's, he saw her father, Colonel Pyotr Vladislavovich, who aroused real admiration in him. Ivan Vasilyevich himself danced at the ball only with Varenka, and when the hostess of the evening asked the colonel to walk in the mazurka with her daughter, he, along with other guests, enthusiastically watched them.

After the ball, Ivan Vasilyevich could not fall asleep in any way, so he decided to take a walk around the city. Somehow it happened that he ended up near Varenka's father's house. Not far from the house, he saw a crowd and went closer to see what was happening there. It turned out that it was the soldiers who drove the deserter through the line. Varenka's father watched everything that was happening, who demanded that the soldiers do not spare the deserter and forcefully lower the sticks on his back. When the colonel saw Ivan Vasilyevich, he did not show that they knew each other.

This event could not get out of the narrator's head. He thought for a long time about how to relate to what he saw. And it was precisely this that influenced not only the fact that he could not enter the service, but also his feelings for Varenka, since, seeing her, he immediately recalled the scene of the punishment he had seen.

The main characters of "After the Ball:"

Ivan Vasilyevich - the story is being told on his behalf, the main character

Varenka is a girl with whom Ivan Vasilyevich was in love.

Petr Vladislavovich- Varenka's father (colonel).

A short retelling of "After the Ball" in abbreviation was prepared by Oleg Nikov for the reader's diary.

In the story "After the Ball" the main characters are Ivan Vasilyevich and the colonel, Varenka's father.

The story is told on behalf of the hero-narrator. This is Ivan Vasilyevich, he tells about his youth (this was in the forties, Ivan Vasilyevich was a student at a provincial university).

He recalls this period because it was then that he made important life discoveries that changed, as he believes, his fate.

The narrator was in love with Varenka, whom he describes as a wonderful beauty: “... in his youth, eighteen

years, she was charming: tall, slender, graceful and majestic, just majestic.

Tolstoy includes many details in the narrative, which make it possible to judge that the hero was really happy, was in love and perceived the world easily and brightly.

The description of the ball is of great importance. The whole atmosphere of the ball creates the mood of the narrator: delight, gratitude, tenderness, endless happiness, which “grew and grew”. This mood and perception is explained by the state of love experienced by the young man.

Varenka's father is also at the ball, he is "handsome, stately, tall

and a fresh old man." He danced with his daughter, everyone admired this couple, the colonel is gentle and sweet towards his daughter. For this man, the narrator during the ball “experienced some kind of enthusiastic tender feeling.”

To deepen the idea of Colonel Tolstoy masterfully uses the technique of antithesis. More important for him is what happened after the ball: the scene of punishment that Ivan Vasilyevich saw radically changed his ideas about life. The man in charge of the execution is Varenka's father. He walks beside the soldier who is being "chased for the escape", calmly and firmly.

Ivan Vasilievich also saw how the colonel “with his strong hand in a suede glove hit the face of a frightened, short, weak soldier because he did not put the stick on the red back of the Tatar enough.”

It becomes scary how much a person has changed. What is the real colonel? He is most likely the real one in the punishment scene. And at the ball, he simply played the role of a hospitable host and loving father.

Ivan Vasilyevich's feelings are also understandable: his lofty feelings were completely destroyed by what he saw on the square.

Ivan Vasilyevich analyzes his feelings, he saw the colonel with different eyes. Maybe Varenka is completely different, but the narrator has already lost that fresh and bright feeling that he had at first for her.
