(290 words) A.I. Kuprin liked to reflect on rather controversial topics. Each of his works is saturated with love and descriptions of sincere human feelings. If you delve into the content of his story “Lilac Bush”, you can think about how diverse the concept of happiness is in a person’s life. Everyone sees it in completely different things: in the morning sun, in the smell of a bakery near the house, in the purchase of a new car or at work. And someone is happy simply because he sees a smile on the face of a loved one. And the wife of the main character Nikolai Almazov, Vera, is just the last option.
She is a man of action, and Vera sees her life in constant development, for her the word “despondency” does not exist. Constant composure and positive energy help her cope with all difficulties. This strong-willed woman is able to roll mountains for the happiness of her husband, and she does not need more. Perhaps this is important when a person contains the qualities that make him able to enjoy really important things. What is the difference, how much money, jewelry, in your family, what social position do you occupy if both live in hatred of each other and the world around them? The most important thing that a person can do for his beloved is to be near at a difficult moment, sometimes stepping on his throat for his own interests. Faith helps her husband in the training, which is not so easy for him. She is ready to sell all her jewelry for him and to break out of the house in the middle of the night to plant lilac bushes. All this is of great importance for the relationship that connect Vera and Nicholas. Lilac literally became a symbol of their tender affection for each other.
This act cannot be called overly sacrificial. Rather, it is natural for those people who love and want to give this love to one single person. There should always be support in the family, a willingness to be around. Otherwise, it is impossible to imagine a real, sincere relationship. After all, feelings should be checked precisely by actions, and not by the number of words “I love”.
