Moloch

Main Characters and Their Development

• Factory engineer Boris Nikolaevich Zybkin — the main character, who experiences an internal conflict between his ideals and the reality of working at the plant. He gradually realizes that his labor serves destructive purposes, leading him to a deep moral crisis.
• Vera — Zybkin's wife, who supports him in difficult times but also suffers from his internal struggles and changes in his character.
• Prince Vasily Ivanovich — the owner of the plant, embodying the soulless and ruthless force of capital that exploits workers for personal gain.
• Engineer Lavrov — Zybkin's colleague, who represents the opposite of the main character, as he is fully immersed in his work and does not consider the moral aspects of his activities.
