   Why is Gore ot uma not known in English?

   • This may explain why one of the masterpieces of Russian drama, Gore ot uma by Aleksandr Griboedov (pronounced Gri-boy-EH-doff), is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. The title alone presents a problem: literally, it means Grief as a Result of Intelligence, but um can also be rendered as “mind,” “wit,” “cleverness.”

   Is Gore ot uma similar to The Misanthrope?

   • Critics like to compare Gore ot uma with Molière’s The Misanthrope, and there are definite similarities. Both Alceste and Chatsky scorn the hypocrisies and corruption of the aristocratic society in which they move, but are hopelessly in love with a flirt who shines in just such a society.

   Did the censors change Gore ot uma?

   • The censors, however ruthless, could not have changed Gore ot uma from elevated and prophetic to outraged but witty.
