Yellows in the vision of different psychologists

The peaceful face of the official is associated with the princess with the sufferings of great people. Their first and last meeting was a turning point for the internal state of the princess.

The image of the official in love in the story "Pomegranate Bracelet"

The main character in the love story of the "grenade bracelet" was an official Zheltkov G.S.

Kuprin chooses for him the appearance of a young pretty person. His tall thin physique and a delicate look with blue eyes complement the romantic image of the official. Zheltkov is fond of music. She fills him with beautiful elevated feelings.
For a long time, the official is in love with Shein, Vera Nikolaevna. The meaning of his life was to occasionally see it. Observe her aristocratic and sophisticated manners. Zheltkov does not attach importance to the marriage of faith. He is not embarrassed by the difference between their social position. His love is disinterested and selfless.
He does not require anything in return. Ready for your beloved to make any sacrifices. The opportunity to touch the subject of her hands, was precious to him and incomparable with any material values.
For Zheltkov the princess is an extraordinary woman. It was she who gave the official the opportunity to experience a bright feeling. Inspired by love, Zheltkov allows herself to send her letters in which there are notes of vulgarity.
The official rarely writes, as if apologizing that he intervenes in the life of the princess and violates her calmness. In the future, emotions in letters become a more restrained and wise character. In his appeal, he is interested in the well -being of Vera Nikolaevna.
Zheltkov could at any moment unceremoniously burst into the life of the princess, adjust their meeting and enjoy personal communication. With great willpower He holds back such impulses. The behavior of the official extols his human qualities over other characters.
He does not consider himself worthy of her attention and is content with the fact that the princess reads his letters. This is his boundless happiness. Thus, she seemed to touch his soul.

Lyubov Zheltkova is endowed with strength and faith. For so many years, he did not give up, but was even more enthusiastic. His love is noble and unshakable to other people's threats. An attempt to intimidate the authorities with an awareness, causes Zheltkov a mockery. Only he alone understands that no punishment in the world will forbid him to love and worship the princess.

After the visit of the brother and husband of faith, the official understands that he is not able to abandon his love and the only way out of the cessation of this story sees in suicide.
At the time of farewell to life, he does not feel the slightest regret and thanks the princess for the feeling he had experienced. He does not think about his interests. For him above all the happiness of a beloved woman. He deprives himself of his life so as not to break her peace. The author positions this act not as a manifestation of weakness, but as a certain feat.
Zheltkov did not sacrifice himself, And finds the right, in his opinion, way out of the situation. Kuprin draws a parallel between the power of love and the power of death.
With the help of a grenade bracelet, the official wanted to show his devotion and fire that overwhelmed his heart. In this gift, he put all his love. This was another opportunity to touch the hands of the princess.
The bracelet was the most expensive thingwhich Zheltkov had, but material value was not of interest to him. For Kuprin, such a detail is a symbol, he repeatedly compares a grenade bracelet with death.
The Shein family regarded an expensive gift as permissiveness. The primitiveness of their reasoning does not allow us to think about what prompted Zheltkov on such an act and whether his feelings are true. For the Shein, only the honor of their family was important.

After the suicide of the official, the princess for the first time asks the question: "And what was it: love or madness?" An insurmountable interest in his life wakes up in it. Anxiety was the first emotion of faith to awaken yellow by his tragic act. In her head, General Anosov’s thoughts come up that her life was visited by true strong love.

In a farewell letter, Zheltkov speaks of his love as “enormous happiness”, presented to him from above. This was the first and last letter that the princess unfolded with tenderness, and not with the usual cold indifference.
The words written by yellow sound like a farewell prayer for love. After reading the letter, Vera first realized that she was the whole world for a stranger.
The work of Beethoven, presented to her in the end, was penetrated into her soul with each note, melted her heart and for the first time in a long time, caused a storm of genuine emotions.

The story of this love does not leave the reader of emotional severity. The fate of Zheltkov causes a little sadness about the unfulfilled bright dreams. The reader, who has not experienced true love in the life, perceive the protagonist for a sincerely ill person. But he has the right to judge him, only people who survived such a feeling. On the example of this story, Kuprin shows the value of genuine sincere feelings in the life of every person.
