In his novel "Dubrovsky" Pushkin describes two types of nobles. The representative of the first of these is troyekurov, the second – Andrey Gavrilovich Dubrovsky. These people are very different from each other: it is strange that they were friends.
Сравнение помещиков:
Despite the fact that both of them are nobles, their position in society unequally. Troyekurov – rich "Russian gentleman" and thanks to his money and connections possesses great power. Neighbors and officials are afraid of him and are striving to please him. Dubrovsky poor, has no weight in society. Images of their lives also differ: troyekurov spending time with feasts and entertainments, Andrei Gavrilovich leads a modest life.
