Jean Вonamour, From Chatskii to Khlestakov: the metamorphosis of wit in Griboedov's Gore ot uma.
Woe from wit continues to be "an enigma not yet completely deciphered" (Blok). Both the title of the play and certain confidences made by the author seem to hint at a "philosophical" purpose, of a general, universal value. However, commentators do not find any trace of that trend in the play which remains a satirical comedy of social-political significance.
The discrepancy between interpretations is to be linked to the very structure of the play itself. The play is not a comedy in spite of its borrowing certain elements from the genre to incorporate them in a complex system of polemics and play with the tradition of the comedy. On account of the free play with various traditional devices, Woe from wit can be considered as "a theatrical poem" which by its very essence favours rhythm and speech.
