Dead Souls, Chapter 6: riassunto
Chapter 6 di 16 · Part 1 · 21 min per leggere: chapter
In Chapter 6, Chichikov visits Plushkin, whose neglected estate and filthy clothing conceal great wealth, and arranges to take over taxes on 120 dead serfs. He also pays for 78 runaways, obtains a letter to help complete the transfer, and returns to his inn delighted with the bargain.
Cosa succede
- Chichikov enters a decaying village and mistakes its ragged landowner, Plushkin, for a housekeeper.
- Plushkin complains about poverty, idle peasants, and taxes on serfs who have died since the census.
- Chichikov offers to assume the dead serfs’ taxes and transfer costs, winning Plushkin’s gratitude and temporary trust.
- Plushkin supplies 120 names and writes to his old schoolmate, the President of the Council, about completing the transaction.
- Chichikov bargains for 78 runaway serfs, pays Plushkin, and asks for a receipt.
