Usually, schoolchildren read the works of M. Bulgakov with pleasure, because this author invariably succeeds in interestingly telling an extraordinary story about what, it would seem, cannot be. This is the beauty of his books. However, before the lesson there is no time to re-read the whole story, so a brief retelling of “The Heart of a Dog” in chapters becomes a necessity. And for full comprehension of the read book, you can take note analysis of the work.
Chapter 1
Stray dog Ball gets burns from the cook of the dining room. The animal, just looking for food in the trash, is not the first time faced with the cruelty of this person. The dog complains about his difficult fate - they beat him with a boot, doused with boiling water, and beat him on the ribs with a brick.
Further, Sharik discusses about people - about the vile wipers, about cooks, and about typists who for fielding stockings from a lover endure French love.
Sitting in the gateway, the dog sees a certain gentleman. And this gentleman gives Sharik a piece of Krakow sausage. Full of gratitude, the dog follows the man. Together they come to the house where Philipp Philippovich (that is the name of this good passerby) is greeted by a doorman. And, lo and behold, no one drives an animal from a warm home.
Chapter 2
While they go up to the apartment, Sharik recalls how he learned to read different letters. “M” - from the signboard of a butcher shop, “A” and “B” - from “Glavryba”.
The dog and Filipp Filippovich are met by the maid Zina, and, literally from the doorway, they want to take him to the observation room. The ball does not like this idea, and he tries to escape. He is caught by Zina, and F.F., and another gentleman (Dr. Bormental). The animal is treated with wounds, bandaged.
While the ball comes to his senses, he observes an unusual visitor in this apartment - with green hair, a wrinkled pink face. His legs were also strange - one jumped like a child’s nutcracker, and the second did not bend. He tells Philipp Philippovich about his extraordinary success with the ladies and thanks him.
After the man comes a lady who stubbornly hides her age. She receives a miraculous injection and talks about her great passion for one man. informs the lady that she will insert the monkey's ovaries into her.
Visitors change one by one, the ball falls asleep.
Waking up, he sees that four people from the new house management came - Shvonder, Vyazemskaya, Pestrukhin and Zharovkin. They are trying to convince Professor Preobrazhensky (Philip Filipovich) that there are many seven rooms for him alone, and the house management wants him to give at least two. In response, the scientist calls his friend and patient, Pyotr Alexandrovich. After a short conversation with the authorities, the petitioners no longer want to take extra rooms.
In the end, they try to sell magazines to the professor in favor of the children of Germany, but nothing comes of it.
The company, calling the owner a hater of the proletariat, leaves.
Chapter 3
Preobrazhensky and Bormental dine. The ball sits right there and gets a piece of sturgeon and roast beef as lunch.
From the other floor you can hear the sounds of the general meeting, and the professor is very upset about this. He recalls that until March 1917 there was a galoshnik in the house, and not a single pair of shoes disappeared from her, and now there is no galoshnik, and everyone walks in dirty shoes on marble stairs. He is also upset that the flowers were removed from the sites, and now electricity disappears regularly.
Dinner ends, Bormental leaves, and Preobrazhensky gathers at the Bolshoi Theater for Aida.
For a second, the dog seems to be in a magical dream, where he is cared for, fed, and just about he will wake up and will again be on the street.
Chapter 4
But the gate seemed a dream. The ball recovered, overgrown and examined itself with interest in the mirror. Philip Filippovich became his master and God, the dog joyfully met him, chewed his jacket and invariably attended dinners. He was not punished even for chewed galoshes and only a little - for a torn stuffed owl. The ball was bought by a collar, and he quickly got used to it and already proudly walked past stray dogs.
At some point, he decided to visit the kingdom of Daria Petrovna - in the kitchen. The first few times he was driven out, but then he was already lying next to the coal basket and watched how it worked.
But one day, Sharik seemed to be pricked with foreboding, longing surged. I didn’t want to eat. After a walk with Zina, everything seemed to go on as usual. Exactly until the moment the professor got a call.
Dr. Bormental arrived with a foul-smelling suitcase. The ball was locked in the bathroom and left without dinner. The dog rushed about in the dark and howled. Then he was dragged into the viewing room. They put a collar on him, poked cotton wool in his nose, and his legs suddenly stopped holding the ball.
The dog lies on the table, with a trimmed belly and head. Professor and doctor discuss the upcoming operation. Preobrazhensky admits that it will be a pity to lose the dog, and yet he is already used to Sharik.
First, the animal was replaced by seminal glands with human glands. And then the skull was opened and replaced one of the parts of the brain - the pituitary gland. The operation is completed, the dog is alive. But the professor is sure not for long.
Chapter 5
Diary of Bormental. It describes the details of the operation and the days after it. First, the dog is in a dying state, with a high temperature. A few days later, improvements appear - the pulse normalizes, the reaction of the pupils. December 29, Bormental records hair loss on the forehead and sides of the dog. Then - the first bark, which looks like groans. The wool continues to fall out, and the dog itself grows about 30 cm. On December 31, at noon, Sharik clearly pronounces “Abyr”, and on January 1 - laughs. In the evening he pronounces the word "abyrvalg". January 2 - gets up. Then he scolds Preobrazhensky on his mother, and says the word "beer." The tail falls off. Sharik's vocabulary is replenished with the words “cabman”, “no seats”, “evening newspaper”, “the best gift for children” and abuse.
The hair was left only on the head, chest and chin. The genitals - like a forming man.
On January 8, the professor realizes that his theory was wrong: replacing the pituitary gland does not rejuvenate, but humanizes.
The ball walks around the apartment on its own and swears. The professor asks him to stop, but this has no effect.
He is forced to wear clothes. The patient begins to eat at the table, consciously curse and maintain a conversation.
The professor sits over the medical history of the man from whom the pituitary gland was transplanted to Sharik. Klim Chugunkin, 25 years old - a drunkard, a thief. The former dog is finally formed into a person - small, poorly built, smoking and independent in everything.
Chapter 6
At the door to the reception room there is a sheet with notes from all the tenants of the apartment. There are bans on seeds, and a “moratorium” on playing musical instruments, and the question of when the glazier comes, and the correspondence that Sharik has gone somewhere, and Zina should bring him.
Preobrazhensky reads a newspaper article written by Schwonder. He accuses the professor of having an illegitimate son and too many rooms.
The ball comes - in a tie, a torn jacket and patent leather boots. Preobrazhensky reports him for his appearance and for the fact that Sharik is sleeping in the kitchen, disturbing women.
During the dialogue, it becomes clear - what the interlocutor is like - he scatters cigarette butts, is sloppy with a urinal, rude to women.
Sharik also claims that he did not ask him to be turned into a person, and can sue the professor. He also wants to get a passport and other documents. He plans to be named as Polygraph Poligrafovich Sharikov.
Together with Schwonder, Filipp Filippovich draws up a passport for a new person.
Suddenly, a cat appears in the apartment, Sharikov drives him into the bathroom and locks himself there, accidentally bending a pipe along the way. To extract it from there, you have to deploy a whole rescue operation - doorman Fedor climbs through the dormer window into the bathroom. Sharikov saved, the apartment is slightly flooded.
Fedor says that the residents of Sharikov’s house no longer really like him — he threw stones at one thing, or he acquired someone else's cook. And to pay for the damage - to Filipp Filippovich.
Chapter 7
Lunch. Sharikov sits with a napkin behind the collar. But this does not affect his behavior. He runs into vodka, and the professor and Dr. Bormental understand that this is the legacy of his donor, Klim. They are planning an evening. The hero, as always, wants to go to the circus. The scientist offers him to visit the theater, but he refuses, saying that "this is all one counter-revolution."
Sharikov begins to advocate the idea of "share everything." And then someone lives in seven rooms, and someone rummages through garbage cans. In response, he was offered to chip in to liquidate the consequences of the flood. The professor did not accept 39 people, which means that let the tenant of the apartment pay for it. He is outraged. He is reminded that he killed a strange cat, grabbed a woman by the chest, and then also bit her. They try to explain to him the need for education and socialization. But the only book that Sharikov is ready to read is Engels' correspondence with Kautsky.
After lunch, Bormental goes to the circus with Sharikov. Left alone, Preobrazhensky takes out a jar in which a piece of the dog’s brain floats.
Chapter 8
Sharikov received his documents. But Bormental and Preobrazhensky refuse to call him by name. And the hero, in turn, does not want to be “Mr. Sharikov,” because “gentlemen are all in Paris.” The professor understands that the influence of Schwonder is becoming stronger. And he offers the victim of the experiment, in this case, move out of the apartment. He in response shows papers from Schwonder that Preobrazhensky is obliged to provide him with housing. The situation is becoming increasingly tense.
The tenant behaves more cheekily - steals money, comes drunk and with obscure comrades (who steal a hat, a cane and an ashtray from the professor), accuses Zina of stealing. After this story, the professor and the doctor finally understand that making a standing person out of Sharikov will not work. And there is no sense in this whole operation and discovery. Because simple women and evolution can create geniuses, even from tons of all scum. It is the pituitary gland that creates the personality, and therefore they got Klim Chugunkin - a thief and a drunkard.
Bormental proposes to poison the resulting insignificance, but Philip Filippovich refuses.
Daria Petrovna appears with a drunken Sharikov. He climbed into the bedroom to the women.
Chapter 9
The next morning, Sharikov disappears - he is neither in the house, nor in the trade union committee. It turns out that he left at dawn along with all his documents. The day before he took the money from the trade union committee and borrowed it from Daria Petrovna. Three days later, the hero appears, and reports that he entered the post of manager in the department for cleaning Moscow from stray animals.
A few days later, Sharikov brings the typist Vasnetsova, his bride, to the house. The professor opens that eye to the origin of her fiance, she refuses to marry him. He in response threatens to fire her. Bormental takes personal control and promises to find out every day whether the girl was fired.
One of his patients comes to the professor and shows Sharikov's complaints and charges against Filipp Filippovich. When the former dog arrives from work in the evening, the scientist orders him to get out of the apartment. A tenant shows a shish and takes out a revolver. The furious Bormental rushes and begins to strangle him.
All doors in the apartment are closed, at the entrance there is a note about the lack of reception, and the wires of the call are cut.
Epilogue
The police comes to Preobrazhensky and accuses him, Bormental, Zina and Daria Petrovna of the murder of Sharikov.
He replies that he did not kill anyone, the dog is alive and well. Police are trying to insist that there was a person, Polygraph Poligrafovich. A dog appears in the hallway with a scarred scar on his forehead, sometimes bald, and sits in a chair.
He hardly speaks anymore and walks mainly on four legs. Preobrazhensky reports that all this was a bad experience, and science has not yet learned how to turn animals into people.
Later in the evening, the dog is lying next to the professor’s chair, watching his work and thinking about how lucky he was to get into this apartment.
