The comedy "Woe from Wit" brought its author the glory of a brilliant playwright and occupied a special place in the history of Russian literature and theater.
Unforgettable and realistic images, vivid pictures of Moscow customs, the theme of the eternal struggle between the old and the new, the aphoristic style of presentation made the play interesting and understandable for the modern reader. The names of the heroes have long become common nouns, many lines are textbooks, and the characters' replicas are aphorisms.
