Edification to people in the story "Life and Collar" by Teffi
Peru Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Lokhvitskaya (Teffi is a pseudonym) owns an interesting story "Life and Collar". It shows the story of the woman Olga, who changes under the magical power of her collar.
The title of the story is not accidental, because the collar begins to change the mind of a woman. He is the reason, but Olga is still lost. She is entangled in desires. Striving for a better life is normal, but not in the same way that Olga will go. She ruins her life. Olga pawns jewelry to take clothes and a new sofa. From that moment on, the girl changes. She shifts responsibility to the collar, so she reaches the extreme point. She went on a spree with a student, and her husband just laughed in the eyes.
The young woman lives a sedate life. Her husband loves her, but there is no money for expensive clothes. She buys a collar, for which she has to acquire many other things. Olya already at that time began to justify her actions. Her explanations are ridiculous, but she herself believes in the words spoken.
The family collapsed, and Teffi became the former modest girl. The author shows readers that even simple things can make a difference. Sometimes a person becomes a hostage to his own desires and aspirations.
It is important to assess the situation, not to succumb to fleeting desires. As they say, living is within your means so that everything is normal.
The story has an edifying side, but it does not openly teach, but shows the results of careless behavior in the situation with Olga. It is important to always assess the situation, because it is difficult to return to the past, and sometimes impossible.
