The Instructress is a story told from the perspective of a young maid, Ustyna. Ustyna has been serving an old lady all her life. But her life changes after the arrival of a young institute girl, a graduate of the Institute of Noble Maidens. It turns out that her education gave her not intelligence and erudition, but arrogance. The young institute lady chose Ustina as her personal servant and created a real terror in the household. Why did this happen? The young lady's life looks perfect on the outside, but inside it is rotten to the core. Is there an alternative? Ustyna shows that there is. Together with her young husband, Ustyna leaves her cosy mansion and close friends. Instead, she moves to the city, where she works hard, earns little, but feels free. What is freedom? Hryhorii Skovoroda and Taras Shevchenko were thinking about this, and now Marko Vovchok is thinking about it. It is no coincidence that the writer dedicated her story "The Instructress" to Taras Shevchenko.
