Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov

Character Practicality and prudence. Chichikov always thinks about profit and tries to benefit from any situation. For example, he decides to buy "dead souls" (dead peasants) to get a loan secured by these fictitious "properties". Cunning and resourcefulness. Chichikov is a master at manipulating people, and deftly finds an approach to each landowner. For example, with Manilov he is polite and courteous, with Korobochka he is persistent and convincing, and with Sobakevich he is straightforward and businesslike. Purposefulness. The hero is not afraid of difficulties and is ready to take risks to achieve his goal. He is confident in himself and never loses hope, even if something does not go according to plan. Lack of moral principles. Chichikov is indifferent to the suffering of others, only his own benefit is important to him. He is ready to deceive, flatter and cheat, just to achieve success. Personality Adaptability. Chichikov is a subtle psychologist, he can find a common language with everyone, regardless of whether he likes the person or not. He knows who, how and when to flatter, how to refuse, how to gain trust. Indifference to women. Chichikov keeps away from them, pays tribute to their virtues, but does not fall in love and does not give in to romantic impulses. Pettiness. The passion for accumulation and acquisition has left a mark of "pettiness" on Chichikov: he even collects old posters in his box.
