(272 words) In Pushkin's work “Station Warden” there are two main characters - this is Samson Vyrin and his daughter, Dunya. Speaking only of the old caretaker, we often lose sight of the image of the culprit of his tragedy, and it is she who is the driving force behind the plot. It is in it that young readers recognize themselves.
Dunya is a blue-eyed blond girl of extraordinary beauty. She lives in solitude with her parent and hosts rare travelers in their shared home. All guests unanimously note that the heroine is pretty and pretty, even the author, a well-known connoisseur of female charms, could not help but praise: "Her beauty struck me." In addition to external advantages, it also has other good features: housekeeping, industriousness and cleanliness. The text mentions that “she kept her house”, and also says that the girl herself sewed outfits. Another father said that his child is distinguished by "intelligence" and "agility." However, Dunya was not devoid of bad character traits, such as coquetry. The author wrote that she agreed to accept the kiss of a stranger secretly from her father. The heroine knew what effect it had on passing men, so her act did not surprise the attentive reader. The flight with Minsk was predetermined. But Samson Vyrin idealized his daughter, for him she remained a little girl. He did not notice that the girl’s lack of timidity in the presence of the guests grew into her short acquaintance with them. And here in the finale we see a different characteristic of the character of the Station Warden: she is a cunning, courageous, decisive, but still kindly woman. On the way to the capital, she cries all the time, anticipating separation from her father.
Sooner or later, Avdotya had to break out of her parental home, for this she should not be judged. However, it is in the power of any adult child not to forget parental merits and pay good to those who love them so selflessly.
