metadata.value: The epigraphs of А School for Fools, by pointing to certain episodes, help to reconstruct, in
  as many details as possible, the plot of the novel. The words of the second epigraph (the list
  of verbs) reflect the structure of the novel in a compressed form. The verbs “to drive” and “to
  hold” characterize the controversial world surrounding Nymphaea; “…to run, to offend…”
  refer to the protagonist’s escape from his father’s house, which has the mythological traits of
  voluntarily leaving paradise, while “…to hear, to see…” point out to the motifs of specific vision
  and hearing that connect Nymphaea with the teacher Norvegov. The verbs “…to turn, to
  breathe, to hate…” are associated with the theme of Norvegov’s life and mentorship, whereas
  “to depend” indicates both Nymphaea’s independence from time and the fact that he outgrows
  his teacher: Norvegov, who is referred to as independent in the novel, compromises with the
  Perillo system. The verb “терпеть” has two major meanings, i.e. ‘to tolerate’ and ‘to endure’,
  and thus marks the fundamental ambiguity of the final. In the former meaning, the verb is associated
  with the noun “tolerance” and indicates the conflict in the novel. The verb also points
  to Nymphaea’s “patient mother,” who wants her son to join society. The thematic return to the
  mother of the hero is justified by the loss of Norvegov’s ideality in the last chapter.
