The play by Maxim Gorky «At the Bottom» in different years was evaluated differently by literary critics: they saw in it either a call to revolution, or a symbolic image of Russian society. And what is this play really? Everyone can decide for himself.
The author gathered in one place completely different people, endowed them with feelings, experiences and their own opinions. The play makes you wonder what is more important in difficult times: sympathy or respect.
«Everything is in a person, everything is for a person! There is only a person, all the rest is the work of his hands and his brain! Human! This is great! It sounds … proud! Human! We must respect the person! Do not regret … do not humiliate him with pity … must be respected! »
