Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of the texts of the play by A.N. Ostrovsky as private sources within the framework of the representation of everyday phenomena. The analysis of literary diseases allows us to reconstruct the multiple elements of the structure of everyday life in the capital and provincial cities of Russia in the second half of the 19th century. In the course of developing the structure of everyday life, in some episodes of the episodes “Dowry”, “Own people - let’s settle”, “Profitable place”, “Thunderstorm”, “What they go after, they will find”, elements of everyday life are widely used, family sets and uniform traditions, food culture, attitudes towards money and poverty, peculiarities of work and rest, pastime. A.N. Ostrovsky in his plays depicted typical images of his contemporaries and the life of which he himself was a part and with which he came into closest contact in Moscow, St. Petersburg and provincial cities. The heroes of the plays are devoid of stereotypes, they are living people who live not in an imaginary, but in a very real environment, speaking the language of their social group, having timely thoughts and reasoning. All this makes it possible to combine various elements describing everyday life into a coherent structure of the everyday life of the playwright’s plays.
