(306 words) Perhaps the most mystical work in the work of A.S. Pushkin - this is the story "The Queen of Spades", which has been repeatedly filmed. In it, the author masterfully presented the story known to everyone and created unique images of heroes. First of all, Anna Fedotovna Tomsk or Queen of Spades.
So, the main character of the story is Countess of Tomsk. She lived in the center of St. Petersburg in a large old house. Due to her high position in society, the heroine has retained the respect of people. But all relatives considered Anna Fedotovna dying: "... her death could not hit anyone." Despite her advanced age, the countess retained all the habits of youth. She was preparing for a long time to go out, following fashion and her style. Tomskaya was spoiled for her luxurious life. Even in old age, she was surrounded by servants who constantly robbed an elderly woman. Only the quiet and modest girl Lizaveta Ivanovna differed from them. But Anna Fedotovna did not allow her to live in peace - the countess accused her pupil and scolded because of every little thing. Thus, we see that the heroine is a very nervous, picky and selfish woman. She behaves autonomously and moody, as if fate itself. It is on this similarity that her transformation from an old noblewoman into a mystical card spirit, embodying luck itself, is built.
It would seem, who could need it for old age? But Anna Fedotovna knew a certain card secret, which helped to win any game. True, the countess discovered this secret only once. Learning about this, Hermann, a young engineer, tried to find out from the heroine this secret. But Anna Fedotovna refused to say anything, and after the threats she died on the spot. Soon her spirit came to Hermann and revealed the treasured three cards. But this did not help the hero win - instead of the expected ace, the Queen of Spades appeared in his hands ... Even on the map, Anna Fedotovna was depicted with a slight grin, as if laughing at everything happening from the next world.
So A.S. Pushkin in his famous story created the image of a rich, spoiled, selfish and domineering woman. Thanks to the accurate and vivid description, the reader immediately introduces the Queen of Spades and remembers her forever!
