The outcasts are a group of individuals who have been rejected or excluded by society for various reasons. They may be discriminated against based on their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or physical or mental ability. Outcasts are often marginalized and ostracized, and may face significant challenges in terms of finding acceptance and belonging in their communities.
There are many different forms of social exclusion, and the outcasts may be viewed with fear, mistrust, or even hatred by those in the mainstream. This can lead to feelings of loneliness and isolation, as the outcasts may struggle to find a sense of purpose or meaning in their lives. They may also face discrimination and prejudice when seeking employment, housing, or other basic necessities, making it difficult for them to fully participate in society.
Despite the challenges that the outcasts face, it is important to recognize their inherent value and worth as human beings. All people deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their differences. It is crucial to work towards creating a more inclusive and welcoming society for all individuals, including those who have been marginalized and ostracized.
One way to do this is through education and awareness-raising efforts. By learning about the experiences and challenges of the outcasts, we can gain a greater understanding of their perspective and develop a sense of empathy and compassion for their struggles. We can also advocate for policies and practices that promote inclusivity and equality, and work to dismantle systems of oppression that perpetuate social exclusion.
Ultimately, the outcasts are an integral part of our society, and it is our responsibility to ensure that they are treated with dignity and respect. By working towards greater inclusivity and acceptance, we can create a more just and compassionate society for all.

You must have been a proud sort of eagle when you were in your right place. He left soon after, promising Vaviloff, as he bade him good-bye, to destroy ere long this nest of noxious beings. Almost every day when he returned from his reporting, the schoolmaster would bring back a paper from the town, and the outcasts would form a circle round him. I'll help you; he's very bad.
He was listened to with interest, mingled with envy. Petounnikoff—Jegorka—you if you like!

Petounnikoff wrinkles his nose, he sighs, closes his narrow eyes, and says, "Ah! I am sorry for him. And then— And then they would fall into a dull, indifferent state of despair as they sat round the gin-shop table in the smoke of the lamps and the reek of tobacco; gloomy, ragged, letting words drop idly from their lips while they listened to the triumphant howl of the wind; one thought uppermost in their minds—how to get more vodka to drown their senses and to bring unconsciousness. Then rubbing his bald head, he went and stood in the doorway of his shop. The deacon was a short, robust little man with a broad chest and a round, matted head of hair; he was famous for his dancing, but more so for his swearing; both he and "Tarass and a half" chose as their special work wood-sawing on the river-bank, and in their leisure hours the deacon would tell long stories "of his own composition," as he expressed it, to his friend or to anyone who cared to hear them.

On Saturday evenings, and on Sundays from early morning till night, the vodka shop was full of people, and the outcasts were welcome guests. Then someone coughed loudly. Even his name was manufactured from a bottle of hair tonic.
The captain swayed backwards and forwards, and continued his speech. But to get thoughts into the bargain. There he saw the captain measuring with his stride the length of the front of the vodka shop, whilst he snapped his fingers from time to time, and once more began his measurements—anxious but satisfied. To-morrow I'll explain it all to you, and I hope I shall convince you that it's no use denying oneself anything. He enjoyed besides many privileges.

As soon as they saw him coming, they would gather from the different corners of the yard, some drunk, some in a state of stupor, all in different stages of raggedness, but all equally miserable and dirty.

The doctor and the magistrate hurried outside, while the police officer shouted again loudly, "Sideroff! Kouvalda, shaking his fist over Petounnikoff's head, roared wildly, rolling his bloodshot eyes— "Rogue and thief! What the devil do we want more? The captain did not answer, for at that moment he was drinking vodka.
He would persecute the miserable being with sharp, mocking words, which issued from his throat in an angry hiss; and he would set on him one of the most savage amongst the tramps, and finally threaten to beat and rob him himself in the night. They'll bother the life out of me, the devils! The master would push them into his shirt, not caring to look at their contents. The windows of these hovels, their glass stained green with age, seem to watch each other with the shifty, cowardly glance of thieves.
