Vsevolod Garshin was a kind of person and writer. His heroes are unbalanced people, prone to absurd actions. However, they often strive for good deeds. However, Garshin himself had a mental disorder. However, it did not distort reality, because Garshin saw many things in life that caused him sadness. And with this he lived, because he noticed events and faces.


 The Tale of the Toad and the Rose shows the relationship between opposites. Garshin immediately depicts the evil that lies in the "face" of the toad. She wants to destroy the rose because she is too defenseless. In life, this also happens: people strive to own something outstanding, but they themselves do not meet the requirements put forward for other requirements.


 The Red Flower shows a patient in a hospital for the mentally ill. He tries to destroy the flower, because believes that evil lives in him. The patient looks ridiculous, but he tortures his soul by fighting evil. Let him not, but the impulse of a person is noble. In life, good deeds are often overlooked. Sometimes society does not allow people to do good, because it itself is not capable of doing it, but it knows how to condemn.


 In the work of Vsevolod Mikhailovich, motives of sadness and doom are noticeable. Garshin sees no way out of many situations. He describes the reality that has always surrounded him. However, one should not forget that the writer himself has seen a lot in life. He bypasses metaphors, but describes everything as it happened. Vsevolod Garshin's realism is scary. But it is the talent of the writer, his unique author's manner.
