Woe from Wit (Russian: Го́ре от ума́, romanized: Gore ot uma, also translated as "The Woes of Wit", "Wit Works Woe", Wit's End, [1] [2] and so forth) is Alexander Griboyedov's comedy in verse, satirizing the society of post-Napoleonic Moscow, or, as a high official in the play styled it, "a pasquinade on Moscow."
This dissertation seeks to analyse and account for the disparity between Gore ot uma and Griboedov's other works, by examining his plays and poems, his letters and travel notes, the memoirs of his contemporaries, his literary sources and social milieu.
