(372 words) Andrey Shtolts - one of the main characters of the novel "Oblomov". He is a man of work, unlike his comrade, so he is used to solving all his problems. His role in the book is similar to the status of the godmother in Cinderella: when Andrei arrives, everything in Oblomov’s life falls into place, and the pumpkin turns into a carriage.
Andrey's upbringing was Spartan, because the German father sought to make the boy a standing heir worthy of the capital entrusted to him. Father founded a small school (boarding school), where Ilya was brought to study with little Andrei, who, however, very rarely appeared in an educational institution. His parents did not consider education a necessary step in the life of their son: on holidays, Ilyusha did not go to school, as well as on days when, for example, he could be considered too tired to be sent anywhere. But Andrei came every day and even worked there, receiving a small tutor salary. As soon as he got to his feet, his father sent him to trample on his own path to the capital. There, the hero is forced to go through difficulties, and in the end he succeeds, becoming an entrepreneur and a noble man.
Andrey Shtolts is a man of necessity. There is nothing superfluous in it. He prefers not to waste emotion and energy on something that is not worth it. This applies to both dreaming, wondering wonders, and the science of passions. As you know, Stolz will marry Olga Ilyinskaya, but even then he will perceive her as an equal, without falling into the poetic dreamy world of love. It is thanks to Andrey’s rationalism that it turns out that Oblomov entrusts him with managing the affairs of his estate. After the scam-managers there were so many problems that Ilya was scared to even think about them. A friend quickly began activities to bring Oblomovka in order.
Andrei Shtolts was a supporter of continuing education, both among men and among women. His innovative views brought him closer to the purposeful and intelligent Olga, who had ambitions and supported her husband on the way to new heights. But their union was rational, not emotional, like the whole life of a hero. He became a prisoner of his achievements and eternal trouble.
In the final, the hero takes care of Oblomov’s son on his shoulders, because his friend is dying of obesity. But even in this situation, Andrei does not back down, but gets down to business, and the boy enters his family. This act, like his whole life, testifies to the fact that we have an extremely positive hero who possesses all male virtues: courage, intelligence, kindness, strength and determination.
