I introduction
Having got acquainted with Lermontov's poem "Mtsyri", in literature lessons, I decided to study and think over its content in more detail, to understand the actions of Mtsyri and his inner state. I also want to understand why "Mtsyri" is considered a romantic poem. Do the views on freedom of the young man Mtsyri coincide with our modern views? Carried away by fine art, I drew attention to the natural world, described by Lermontov in the poem. It is these problems and questions that I will try to solve during the project.
II.Chapter 1. Mtsyri as a romantic hero
1.1 "Life" in the understanding of Mtsyri
As an epigraph to the project, I chose the words of VG Belinsky "What a fiery soul, what a mighty spirit, what a gigantic nature this Mtsyri has!"
Images of strong people, rebels and Protestants, at war with "heaven and earth", for many years possessed the creative imagination of Lermontov.
He wants to live at the cost of torment,
At the cost of painful worries
He buys the sounds of the sky,
He does not take fame for nothing.
Lermontov dedicated more than ten works to "Mighty Images". One of them is the poem "Mtsyri".
Lermontov tells about the fate of a six-year-old highlander boy who lived in the mountains of the North Caucasus and was taken prisoner by General Ermolov. Returning to his residence - Tiflis, Ermolov took him with him, but on the way the child fell ill. In Georgia, not far from Tiflis, in Mtskheta, the general gave the boy to the monks to be cured. In the monastery, no one calls him by name. He is mtsyri, which in Georgian means novice. He is of the Muslim faith, but he was baptized and is being prepared for monastic tonsure. The monastery for Mtsyri is a prison. He dreams of returning to his homeland, of an escape. And one night, in a thunderstorm, Mtsyri runs away from the monastery. For three days Mtsyri tried to find his way home, but, having lost his way, returned to the monastery again.
"They found him unconscious in the steppe And brought him back to the monastery." Once again in the monastery, Mtsyri dies. He cannot live in captivity after taking a breath of freedom. This is the main idea of \u200b\u200bthe poem. It is not for nothing that Lermontov took the biblical dictum as an epigraph for "Mtsyri", which means: "Having eaten, I tasted little honey, and now I am dying." By "honey" Lermontov means freedom. Is a person free to dispose of himself, his life, should he unquestioningly obey the authorities?
Mtsyri is a person thirsting for life and happiness, striving for people who are close and dear in spirit. Lermontov paints an exceptional personality, endowed with a rebellious soul, a powerful temperament. Before us appears a boy doomed from childhood to a dull monastic existence, which was completely alien to his ardent, fiery nature. We see that from a very young age Mtsyri was deprived of everything that makes up the joy and meaning of human life: family, loved ones, friends, homeland. The monastery became a symbol of bondage for the hero, Mtsyri perceived life in it as captivity. The people around him - monks were hostile to him, they could not understand Mtsyri. They took away the boy's freedom, but they could not kill the desire for it.
At the beginning of the poem, the author only outlines the character of the hero. The external circumstances of the boy's life only slightly reveal the inner world of Mtsyri. Talking about the "painful illness" of a captive child, his physical weakness, M. Yu. Lermontov emphasizes his endurance, pride, distrust, "mighty spirit" that he inherited from his ancestors.
The agitated monologue of the dying Mtsyri introduces us to the world of his innermost thoughts,
secret feelings and aspirations, explains the reason for his escape. It's simple. The thing is that “the soul of a child, the fate of a monk,” the young man was possessed by a “fiery passion” for freedom, a thirst for life, which called him “into that wonderful world of troubles and battles, where rocks hide in clouds, where people are free, like eagles ". The boy wanted to find his lost homeland, to find out what real life is, "is the earth beautiful", "for the will or prison, we will be born into this world":
I've seen others
Fatherland, home, friends, relatives.
But I didn’t find it
Not only sweet souls - graves!
Mtsyri also strove to know himself. And he was able to achieve this only in the days spent at large:
You wanna know what i did
In the wild?
Lived - and my life
Without these three blissful days
It would be sadder and darker
Your impotent old age.
1.2. The concept of "freedom" in the understanding of Mtsyri
During the three days of his wanderings, Mtsyri became convinced that a man was born free, that he "could be in the land of the fathers not of the last daredevils." For the first time a world was revealed to the young man, which was inaccessible to him within the monastery walls. Mtsyri pays attention to every picture of nature that appears to his gaze, listens attentively to the polyphonic world of sounds. And the beauty and splendor of the Caucasus simply dazzle the hero, his memory retains "lush fields, hills covered with a crown of trees growing all around", "mountain ranges, whimsical, like dreams." Brightness of colors, variety of sounds, splendor of the infinitely blue vault in the early morning - all this richness of the landscape filled the hero's soul with a feeling of merging with nature. He feels that harmony, unity, brotherhood, which he was not given to know in the society of people:
The garden of God bloomed around me
Plants rainbow outfit
Kept traces of heavenly tears
And the curls of the vines
They curled up, showing off between: trees ...
But we see that this delightful world is fraught with many dangers. Mtsyri had to experience fear of the "threatening abyss on the edge", and thirst, and "suffering of hunger", and a mortal fight with a leopard.
Oh i'm like a brother
Would be glad to hug with the storm!
With the eyes of the clouds I followed
I caught it with the hand of lightning ...
Tell me what among these walls
Could you give me in return
That friendship is short, but alive,
Between a stormy heart and a thunderstorm? ..
“Already from these words you can see what a fiery soul, what a mighty spirit, what a gigantic nature this Mtsyri has! This is the favorite ideal of our poet, it is the reflection in poetry of the shadow of his own personality. In everything that Mtsyri says, he blows with his own spirit, amazes him with his own power .. ", - VG Belinsky wrote about the poem" Mtsyri ".
Reading the poem, you feel “that the poet took colors from the rainbow, rays from the sun, shine from lightning, roar from thunder, roar from winds - that all nature itself carried and gave him materials ...”.
Let's start with the statement that M. Yu. Lermontov's poem "Mtsyri" refers to romantic works. The main theme of the poem - personal freedom - is characteristic of the works of romantics. But the hero of romantic works is characterized by exceptional qualities - love of freedom, proud loneliness, an unusually strong feeling of love for the motherland.
The image of Mtsyri is interpreted by the author in an unusual way. Mtsyri is devoid of external signs of exclusivity; this is a weak youth. The halo of enigma and mystery, titanic individualistic traits characteristic of a romantic hero, is absent in him. The very confession of the hero helps him to convey the slightest emotional movement as accurately as possible. He not only talks about his actions and deeds, but also motivates them. Mtsyri wants to be understood, heard. Talking about his motives, intentions, desires, successes and failures, he is equally honest and sincere in front of himself. Mtsyri is confessed not in order to relieve the soul or remove the sin for his escape, but in order to relive the three blissful days of life in freedom:
You wanna know what i did
In the wild? Lived - and my life
Without these three blissful days
It would be sadder and darker
Your impotent old age.
But romantic poems are characterized by the presence of an exceptional, contradictory personality, whose attitude to the surrounding world is ambiguous. The exclusivity and strength of Mtsyri are expressed in the goals that he sets for himself:
Long ago I thought
Take a look at the distant fields
Find out if the land is beautiful
Find out for the will or the prison
We will be born into this world.
From childhood, being captured. Mtsyri could not come to terms with bondage, life among strangers. He yearns for his native aul, for communication with people close to him in customs, in spirit, strives to get to his homeland, where, in his opinion, “people are free like eagles” and where happiness and will await him:
I lived a little, and lived in captivity.
Such two lives in one,
But only full of anxiety
I would trade if I could.
I only knew the power of thought,
One - but fiery passion ...
Mtsyri runs not from his own environment to someone else's in the hope of finding will and tranquility, but breaks with the alien world of the monastery - a symbol of an unfree life in order to reach the edge of the fathers. Homeland for Mtsyri is a symbol of absolute freedom, he is ready to give everything in a few minutes of his life at home. Returning to his homeland is one of his goals, along with the knowledge of the world.
Throwing a challenge to fate itself, Mtsyri leaves the monastery on a terrible night when a storm broke out, but this does not frighten him. He, as it were, identifies himself with nature:
"Oh, as a brother, I would be glad to embrace the storm."
During the "three blissful days" spent by Mtsyri at large, all the wealth of his nature was revealed: love of freedom, thirst for life and struggle, perseverance in achieving the set goal, unbending willpower, courage, contempt for danger, love for nature, understanding of its beauty and relics:
Oh i'm like a brother
Would be glad to hug with the storm!
With the eyes of the clouds I followed
I caught it with the hand of lightning ...
Exceptional traits The personality of the hero of romantic poems helps to reveal the presence of a love story in these poems. But Lermontov excludes this motive from the poem, since love could become an obstacle for the hero on the way to achieving his goal. Having met a young Georgian woman by the stream, Mtsyri is fascinated by her singing. He could follow her and connect with people. Finding himself in a very important situation for the romantic hero - in a situation of choice, Mtsyri does not change his goal: he wants to go to his homeland and, perhaps, find his father and mother. Refusing love, the hero chose freedom over her.
And one more test had to pass Mtsyri - a fight with a leopard. He emerges victorious in this battle, but he is no longer destined to go to his homeland. He dies in a foreign country, with strangers. Mtsyri was defeated in a dispute with fate, but the three days he lived in freedom personify his life, if it had been in his homeland. The hero of Lermontov's poem finds the strength to admit defeat and die, not cursing anyone and realizing that the reason for the failure lies in himself. Mtsyri dies, making peace with the people around him, but freedom remained above all for him. Before his death, he asks to transfer him to the garden:
By the radiance of a blue day
I'll get drunk for the last time.
The Caucasus is also visible from there!
Perhaps he is from his heights
He will send me a farewell hello,
Will send with a cool breeze ...
The poet's focus is on the personality of the lonely hero, his complex spiritual world. The author seeks to reveal the psychology of his hero ("tell the soul"). The manner of the narration also corresponds to the creative intention. In "Mtsyri" the story is conducted primarily from the person of the hero. This is a confession poem.
M.Yu. Lermontov had to live in a very difficult time. It was an era of social depression and political reaction caused by the defeat of the Decembrists. These were the years about which A.I. Herzen, one of M.Yulermontov's contemporaries, wrote: “From the most tender childhood I had to acquire the skill to hide everything that worries the soul, and not to lose what was buried in its depths - on the contrary, it was necessary to allow everything that fell on the heart to ripen in mute anger ... one had to have boundless pride in order to hold his head high, having chains on his hands and feet. "
M.Yu. Lermontov brilliantly coped with this task. Contemptuous pride (which he also endowed with some of his heroes) was indeed one of the main features in his behavior. But this was not just an everyday character trait, but a completely conscious principle of behavior, conditioned by historical time, when one had to hate out of love, despise out of hatred. Creativity M.Yu. Lermontov is imbued with sometimes undisguised pessimism. But, like his contemptuous pride, Lermontov's pessimism was due to the era and grew on the basis of the poet's absolute confidence in the right to free expression of thoughts, feelings, opinions. That is why the theme of freedom became the main theme of his work, and the pathos of protest became his leading idea. By no means everything that M.Yu. Lermontov did was what he wanted to do, what he considered necessary. I wanted to live in Moscow, I had to move to St. Petersburg. I wanted to study at the university, I had to go to the school of guards ensigns. I only wanted to be a writer, but I had to become a military man. Maybe that's why many see Mtsyri in Lermontov himself?
For writing "impermissible" verses ("Death of a Poet" - 1837) Lermontov was transferred to the Nizhny Novgorod Dragoon Regiment, which was stationed near Tiflis.
"The heroic world, in which war and freedom were so amazingly combined - the fighting Caucasus, which he (Lermontov) fell in love with as a child, again opened to him. And a diverse, new life, full of dangers and hardships, gave birth to wonderful ideas in him."
1.3 The role of pictures of nature in Mtsyri's story
In a romantic work, the landscape occupies one of the main places. We affirm that M.Yu. Lermontov's poem “Mtsyri” is a romantic work. On the one hand, both man and nature are depicted by Lermontov in a traditionally romantic way: bright, exotic nature, indomitable and free, corresponding to the inner world of the protagonist, and the world of people - alien to the hero, taking away his freedom, condemning him to physical death. In this one can see the influence of the then fashionable philosophy of a “natural man” facing the destructive force of civilization. But in Lermontov's poem it turns out to be impossible for a person to return to the "natural" state. He is a representative of another, human, “kingdom” and can no longer live according to the laws of nature. That is, Lermontov's view of the relationship between man and nature is more contradictory and profound than the traditional one. So, man and nature are two special worlds that exist simultaneously in harmony and in confrontation, and this is one of the central themes of the poem "Mtsyri". A few years ago
Where it merged, they make noise,
Embracing like two sisters
Jets of Aragva and Kura,
There was a monastery ...
Peace, tranquility in these words. Even stormy rivers flow, embracing, "like two sisters." Soon a boy was brought to the monastery, who ... was, it seemed, about six years old,
Like a chamois of the mountains, shy and wild
And weak and flexible like a reed.
Comparison with chamois makes it clear that this child will not take root in the monastery. Chamois is a symbol of freedom, free life. And yet Mtsyri gradually gets used to "captivity". “He already wanted to utter a monastic vow in the prime of his years,” but then an event occurs that changed the predestined life of the young man. Mtsyri cannot live in peace, he is sad for his homeland. Even the force of habit could not supplant the longing for the "side of one's own". He decides to escape. And it is no coincidence that he disappears from the monastery “on an autumn night”. For romantics, night is a symbol of a difficult, painful life of a person, lonely, devoid of friends and protection, a symbol of danger and enmity. The “dark forest” blocks his way to his homeland. Escape is a step into an unknown world. What awaits Mtsyri there? This is a "wonderful world of troubles and battles", which the hero dreamed of since childhood, into which he escaped "from the stuffy cells and prayers." Mtsyri, who came to the monastery against his will, strives to go to “where people are free, like eagles”. In the morning he saw what he was aiming for: “lush fields. Hills covered with a crown of trees ... ”. Mtsyri perceives nature in a spiritual way. For him, trees are “brothers in a circular dance”, mountain ranges are “in the embrace of stone”. He sees in nature that harmony, unity, brotherhood that he was not given to cognize in human society. The garden of God bloomed all around me;
Plants rainbow outfit
Kept traces of heavenly tears
And the curls of the vines
Curled up, showing off between the trees ...
Lermontov endows the hero of the poem with his own ability to subtly see, understand, love nature and in this find the joy of being. Mtsyri is resting after the darkness of the monastery, enjoying nature. This morning he met a young girl. Anyone who is able to understand the beauty of nature knows how to appreciate and understand beauty in general, human in particular. Therefore, Mtsyri says that the young Georgian woman was "slender ... like a poplar, the king of her fields." She lived in a small sakla. The hero wanted to enter there, "but ... did not dare." He set out on a journey, because "he had one goal, to go to his native country in his soul." The mountains were his compass. Suddenly Mtsyri "lost sight of the mountains and then began to stray from the path." He was desperate. That forest, with the beauty of the trees, the singing of birds of which he enjoyed yesterday, was becoming "more terrible and thicker every hour." "With a million black eyes the darkness watched the night ...". This hyperbole conveys the horror of Mtsyri, who now found himself in a hostile element. The harmony of man and nature has been destroyed. The climax is the scene of a deadly fight between a man and a leopard. Mtsyri himself was “like a desert leopard, angry and wild,” as strong as a beast. In a moment of danger, he felt in himself the skills of a fighter that his ancestors had developed over the centuries. In this battle, the heroic essence of the hero's character is revealed with the greatest force. Mtsyri won and, despite the wounds, continued on his way. How scared he felt in the morning when he realized that he had lost his way and came “to the prison”. The natural world did not save a person, spoiled by the world of human society, by "civilization". According to Lermontov, a return to wild nature is closed to humans as a way of gaining freedom, the best human qualities that have been lost. So, Mtsyri's dream was not destined to come true. As soon as he “cognized the bliss of liberty,” he ended his life. The wounds from the battle with the leopard were fatal. But the hero did not regret what had happened. These days he lived a real, free life. After all, Mtsyri is a “prison flower” on which “the prison has left its seal”, so it does not stand up to trials. Nature is not only a wonderful world, but also a formidable force, which is not easy to comprehend. It is interesting that all these three days of “freedom” between Mtsyri and nature there was no intermediary. In his misfortunes, he does not call on God, he seeks to overcome them himself. Mtsyri is dying. Nature is a great teacher. No artificial barriers could and will not be able to destroy what she laid in a person. No walls have stopped and will not stop the desire to cognize the world, to merge with nature, to feel as free as she herself. The best confirmation of this is the life of Mtsyri.

2.3 Creative work
Mtsyri is a person thirsting for life and happiness, striving for people close and dear in spirit. Lermontov paints an exceptional personality, endowed with a rebellious soul, a powerful temperament. Before us appears a boy doomed from childhood to a dull monastic existence, which was completely alien to his ardent, fiery nature. We see that from a very young age, Mtsyri was deprived of everything that makes up the joy and meaning of human life: family, loved ones, friends, relatives. The monastery became a symbol of bondage for the hero, life in it Mtsyri was perceived as captivity. The people around him - monks - were hostile to him, they could not understand Mtsyri, taking away the boy's freedom, but they could not take away the desire for it. And one night in a thunderstorm Mtsyri runs away from the monastery. Mtsyri runs not from his own environment to someone else's, in the hope of finding will and tranquility, but breaks with the alien world of the monastery, a symbol of an unfree life, in order to reach his native land. Homeland for Mtsyri is a symbol of absolute freedom, he is ready to give everything in a few minutes of life at home. Returning home, learning about the world - these are the goals of the young man. For three days Mtsyri tried to find his way home, but, having lost his way, returned to the monastery:
They found him unconscious in the steppe,
And again they brought it to the monastery.
Once again in the monastery, Mtsyri dies. He cannot live in captivity after taking a breath of freedom.
III. Conclusion
As can be seen from the answers, the respondents were especially interested in the timely concept of freedom, the interpretation of Mtsyri's actions and psychological experience - to feel in the role of Mtsyri.
It is clearly seen that the modern concept of freedom differs significantly from freedom for Mtsyri, for a romantic hero. Of course, this is a philosophical question, but it is no secret that the modern pragmatic lifestyle of our society has changed the perception of the world, and the life priorities of a modern person are significantly different from romantic ones.
The same can be said about the interpretation of Mtsyri's actions. Many mark them as heroic, but complain that modern youth is incapable of them.
Versatility of answers to the question “Imagine that it was you, and not Mtsyri, who managed to escape from the monastery. What actions would you take? " emphasizes the individuality of each and understanding the actions of the hero through the prism of his character, his views on life, his psychological and physical characteristics.
The conclusion suggests itself that the poem does not find a response in the souls of readers, the hero of Mtsyri is not close to modern people, and his actions are incomprehensible to them? I fundamentally disagree. It is the motley picture of reviews, sincere and thoughtful answers of the respondents that show how deeply modern readers of different ages have penetrated to comprehend the poem, empathize with the hero, how subtly they felt the pain and loneliness of Mtsyri. This once again emphasizes that Lermontov's work is modern, it does not leave indifferent, makes readers think about fate, the meaning of life, about such eternal and unshakable values \u200b\u200bas family, homeland, life.
You involuntarily understand how sometimes human grievances and discontent are stupid, how petty quarrels and envy, how insignificant everyday vanity and how great the price of life is, how invaluable the happiness of living in a family and having friends, what a great gift is the opportunity to love and be loved.
So, in the course of the project, I proved that the poem is romantic in nature, and Mtsyri himself is a romantic person. Studies have shown that Lermontov's poem is an imperishable work of Russian literature, capable of exciting the minds of readers, it makes you think about the meaning of human life and does not leave anyone indifferent.
In the course of work on the project, I achieved personal results: I learned more information about the author and the creation of the poem, I interpreted the content of the poem in a different way, thought about the meaning of life and the role of actions in it, imbued with the description of the nature of the Caucasus, which in turn influenced my artistic experiences - illustrations for the poem.
In Lermontov's poem "Mtsyri", a young man who escaped from the monastery is shown as a romantic hero. The author develops in his work the ideas of protest and courage. Mikhail Yurievich almost completely excluded from his creation the love motive, which played a large role in his poem "Confession". This motive in "Mtsyri" was reflected only in a fleeting meeting of the protagonist with a Georgian woman, which took place near a mountain stream.
Defeating the impulse of his young heart, Mtsyri refuses personal happiness for the sake of the ideal of freedom. In the poem, the patriotic idea is inextricably linked with the theme of freedom. This is also observed in the works of the Decembrist poets. Mikhail Yurievich does not share these concepts. In his work, a thirst for will and love for the Fatherland merge into a "fiery passion". Mtsyri is very attractive as a romantic hero. The analysis plan for this character should include his relationship to the monastery. We will talk about this now.
Mtsyri's attitude to the monastery
The monastery is a prison for our hero. The cells seem to him stuffy, and the walls are deaf and gloomy. Guardian monks appear to the protagonist as pathetic and cowardly, and he himself is a prisoner and a slave. The impulse to freedom is due to his desire to find out why we were born into the world, "for the will or the prison." For the young man, the will turns out to be the few days he spent in the world after escaping from the monastery. Outside the blank walls, he lived a full life, and did not vegetate. The hero calls the time. It is during the days spent at large that the image of Mtsyri is fully revealed. As a romantic hero, he manifests himself outside the walls of the monastery.
The patriotism of the protagonist
Least of all, the freedom-loving patriotism of the protagonist is similar to love for expensive graves and beautiful native landscapes, although Mtsyri yearns for them. He truly loves his Fatherland, wants to fight for her freedom. With undoubted sympathy, Mikhail Yuryevich sings these youthful dreams. The work does not fully reveal the aspirations of the protagonist, but they are quite palpable in hints. The young man remembers his acquaintances and his father mainly as warriors. It is no coincidence that this hero dreams of battles in which he turns out to be the winner. No wonder his dreams are drawn to the world of battles and anxieties.
The character of the protagonist
Mtsyri as a romantic hero is shown to be brave and courageous. He himself is convinced that "in the land of the fathers" could be one of the "daredevils". And although this hero was not destined to experience the rapture of battle, he is a real warrior in his character. From a young age, Mtsyri was distinguished by severe restraint. Proud of this, the hero says that he never knew tears. Only during the escape does the young man give free rein to tears, since no one sees them. The will of the protagonist was tempered by loneliness within the monastery walls. It is no coincidence that it was on a stormy night that Mtsyri decided to escape: the fearful monks were frightened by the revelry of the elements, but not this young man. By the thunderstorm, he had only a sense of brotherhood.
Fortitude and courage of a young man
Mtsyri's steadfastness and masculinity is manifested with the greatest strength in the episode of the battle with the leopard. The grave did not frighten him, as he understood that returning to the monastery would be a continuation of suffering. The tragic ending created by the author shows that the hero's spirit does not weaken due to the approach of death. His freedom-loving patriotism in front of her does not disappear. The monk's admonitions do not make the monks repent. He says that he would trade again eternity and paradise for a few minutes spent with loved ones. It is not Mtsyri's fault that the circumstances could not be overcome, and he could not get into the ranks of the fighters. The hero tried in vain to argue with his fate. He was defeated, but inwardly not broken. Mtsyri is a positive hero of Russian literature. His integrity, courage, courage were a reproach to the inactive and fearful representatives of the noble society, modern Lermontov.
The role of landscape in revealing character
The Caucasian landscape serves to reveal the image of a young man from the poem "Mtsyri". As a romantic hero, despising the environment, he feels a relationship only with nature. Growing up within the walls of a monastery, he compares himself to a greenhouse leaf. Breaking free, he lifts his head along with the flowers at sunrise. As a child of nature, Mtsyri falls to the ground and, like the hero of fairy tales, learns the secret of the prophetic chirping of birds, the riddles of their songs. He understands the thought of those eager to meet the severed rocks, disputes with the stones of the stream. The youth's gaze is sharpened: he notices how the leopard's fur casts silver, how the scales of a snake shine, sees a pale strip between earth and sky and the teeth of distant mountains. Mtsyri, as the romantic hero of the poem, thinks that through the blue sky he could see the flight of angels.
Traditions of romanticism and new features of Lermontov's poem
Of course, Mikhail Yuryevich's poem continues the traditions of romanticism. This is evidenced, in particular, by the central image of the work. Full of fiery passions, Mtsyri as a romantic hero, lonely and gloomy, reveals his soul in a confession story. In this Mikhail Yuryevich followed tradition. All this is typical of romanticism. Nevertheless, Lermontov, who wrote his poem during the years when he was working on the realistic work "A Hero of Our Time", introduced features into "Mtsyri" that were not characteristic of his earlier poems. Indeed, the past of the heroes of "Boyar Orsha" and "Confessions" remains unknown to us. We do not know what social conditions influenced the formation of their characters. And in the work "Mtsyri" we find lines that the childhood and adolescence of the protagonist was unhappy. This helps us to better understand his thoughts and experiences. It should also be noted that the form of confession, so characteristic of poems in the style of romanticism, is associated with the desire to "tell the soul", that is, to reveal it as deeply as possible. Such detailing of experiences, the psychologism of the work are natural for Lermontov, since he was simultaneously creating a socio-psychological novel.
The combination in confession of numerous metaphors of a romantic nature (images of flame, fire), with the poetically mean and precise speech of the introduction, characteristic of realism, is very expressive. The poem begins with the lines: "Once a Russian general ..." The work, romantic in its form, testified to the fact that realistic tendencies were becoming more and more distinct in Lermontov's work.
Lermontov's innovation
So, we have opened the topic "Mtsyri as a romantic hero". Lermontov entered Russian literature as the successor of the Decembrist poets and the traditions of Pushkin. However, he also brought something new to the development of the Russian artistic word.
Belinsky said that we can talk about the so-called Lermontov element. The critic explained that by it is meant, first of all, "original living thought". Of course, it is felt in the creation of such an image as Mtsyri. As a romantic hero, this young man was briefly characterized by us. You can see that there are also some realistic features in the work.
The poem "Mtsyri" is the fruit of the active and intense creative work of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov. Even in his youth, the poet's imagination painted the image of a young man on the brink of death uttering an angry, protesting speech in front of his listener "- the senior monk. In the poem" Confession "(1830, the action takes place in Spain), the hero, imprisoned, proclaims the right to love, The fascination with the Caucasus, the desire to depict situations in which the courageous character of the hero can most fully reveal himself, leads Lermontov, at the time of his highest talent, to create the poem "Mtsyri" (1840), repeating many verses from the previous stages of work over the same image.Belinsky V.G. Articles about Lermontov. - M., 1986. - P. 85
Before "Mtsyri" the poem "The Fugitive" was written. In it, Lermontov develops the theme of punishment for cowardice and betrayal. Short plot: a traitor to duty, forgetting about his homeland, Garun fled from the battlefield, not taking revenge on his enemies for the death of his father and brothers. But neither friend, nor beloved, nor mother will accept the fugitive, even everyone will turn away from his corpse, and no one will take him to the cemetery. The poem called for heroism, for the struggle for the freedom of the fatherland. In the poem "Mtsyri" Lermontov develops the idea of \u200b\u200bcourage and protest inherent in "Confession" and the poem "The Fugitive". In "Mtsyri" the poet almost completely ruled out the love theme that played such a significant role in "Confession" (the love of a monk hero to a nun). This motive was reflected only in a brief meeting between Mtsyri and a Georgian woman at a mountain stream. Belskaya L.L. The Motive of Loneliness in Russian Poetry: From Lermontov to Mayakovsky. - M .: Russian speech, 2001 .-- P. 163
The hero, overcoming the involuntary impulse of a young heart, renounces personal happiness in the name of the ideal of freedom. The patriotic idea is combined in the poem with the theme of freedom, as in the work of the Decembrist poets. Lermontov does not share these concepts: love for the motherland and thirst for will merge into one, but "fiery passion". The monastery becomes a prison for Mtsyri, the cells seem stifling to him, the walls are gloomy and deaf, the guards-monks are cowardly and pitiful, he himself is a slave and a prisoner. His desire to find out, "for the will or the prison, we were born into this world," is due to a passionate impulse for freedom. Short days to escape are his will. Only outside the monastery he lived, and did not vegetate. Only these days he calls bliss.
Mtsyri's freedom-loving patriotism least of all resembles a dreamy love for his native beautiful landscapes and expensive graves, although the hero misses them too. Precisely because he truly loves his homeland, he wants to fight for the freedom of his homeland. But at the same time, the poet sings with undoubted sympathy the warlike dreams of the young man. The poem does not fully reveal the aspirations of the hero, but they are palpable in hints. Mtsyri remembers his father and acquaintances first of all as warriors; it is no coincidence that he dreams of the battles in which he is. wins, it is not for nothing that dreams attract him to the "wonderful world of anxieties and battles." He is convinced that he could be "in the land of fathers, not of the last daredevils." Although fate did not allow Mtsyri to experience the rapture of battle, he is a warrior with all his senses. He was distinguished by severe restraint since childhood. The young man, proud of this, says; "Do you remember, in my childhood I never knew tears." He gives vent to tears only during the escape, because no one sees them. Belinsky V.G. Articles about Lermontov. - M., 1986 .-- P. 98
The tragic loneliness in the monastery tempered the will of Mtsyri. It was no coincidence that he fled from the monastery on a stormy night: what terrified the fearful monks filled his heart with a sense of brotherhood with a thunderstorm. Mtsyri's courage and resilience is manifested with the greatest strength in the battle with the leopard. He was not afraid of the grave, because he knew; returning to the monastery is a continuation of the previous suffering. The tragic ending testifies that the approach of death does not weaken the spirit of the hero and the power of his freedom-loving patriotism. The old monk's admonitions do not make him repent. Even now he would have "exchanged heaven and eternity" in a few minutes of his life among his loved ones (verses that aroused censorship dissatisfaction). It was not his fault if he did not manage to become a fighter for what he considered his sacred duty: the circumstances turned out to be insurmountable, and he in vain "argued with fate." Defeated, he is spiritually not broken and remains a positive image of our literature, and his masculinity, integrity, heroism were a reproach to the fragmented hearts of fearful and inactive contemporaries from the noble society. The Caucasian landscape is introduced into the poem mainly as a means of revealing the image of the hero. Good D.D. Lermontov and Pushkin: Life and Work of M.Yu. Lermontov. - M., 1941. - P. 35
Despising his surroundings, Mtsyri feels only a kinship with nature. Imprisoned in a monastery, he compares himself to a pale typical leaf that has grown between damp slabs. Having escaped free, he, together with the sleepy flowers, raises his head when the east becomes rich. A child of nature, he falls to the ground and learns, like a fairy-tale hero, the secret of bird songs, the riddles of their prophetic chirping. He understands the dispute between the stream and stones, the thought of separated rocks, eager to meet. His gaze is sharpened: he notices the shine of snake scales and the ebb of silver on the leopard's fur, he sees the teeth of distant mountains and a pale strip "between the dark sky and the earth", it seems to him that his "diligent gaze" could follow the flight of angels through the transparent blue of the sky ... (The verse of the poem also corresponds to the character of the hero). Lermontov's poem continues the tradition of progressive romanticism, Mtsyri, full of fiery passions, gloomy and lonely, revealing his "soul" in a confession story, is perceived as the hero of romantic poems.
However, Lermontov, who created "Mtsyri" in the years when the realistic novel "Hero of Our Time" was also being created, introduces features into his work that are not present in his earlier poems. If the past of the heroes of "Confession" and "Boyar Orsha" remains completely unknown, and we do not know the social conditions that shaped their characters, then the lines about Mtsyri's unhappy childhood and fatherland help to better understand the feelings and thoughts of the hero. The very form of confession, characteristic of romantic poems, is associated with the desire to reveal deeper - "to tell the soul." This psychologism of the work, the detailing of the hero's experiences are natural for the poet, who at the same time was creating a socio-psychological novel. The combination of abundant metaphors of a romantic nature in the confession itself (images of fire, fieryness) with a realistically accurate and poetically stingy speech of introduction is expressive. ("Once a Russian General ...") Belinsky V. G. Articles about Lermontov. - M., 1986 .-- S. 85 - 126
The romantic poem testified to the growth of realistic tendencies in Lermontov's work. Lermontov entered Russian literature as a successor to the traditions of Pushkin and the Decembrist poets, and at the same time as a new link in the chain of development of national culture. According to Belinsky, he introduced his own "Lermontov element" into the national literature. Briefly explaining what should be put into this definition, the critic noted the "original living thought" in his poems as the first characteristic feature of the poet's creative heritage. Belinsky repeated "Everything breathes with original and creative thought." Russian literature of the 19th century: A large educational reference book. M.: Bustard, 2004 .-- S. 325
An important stage of training is such a form of knowledge testing as composition. "Mtsyri" is the romantic hero of Lermontov's poem. Mikhail Yurievich created an unusual character with a tragic fate, who is endlessly in an unfamiliar environment for him. The name of the protagonist also hints at this. After all, this word is translated from Georgian as “monk, novice” or “stranger, foreigner”.
Consider a possible version of the school work "Essay on the poem" Mtsyri ". As appears to the reader from the first lines.
The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe story
Lermontov portrayed a very strong-minded person who, for the sake of his ideals and goals, is ready to sacrifice everything, even his life.
The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe work is protest and courage. The love motive is almost completely absent, it was reflected only in a short meeting of the hero with a Georgian woman near a mountain stream.
Not only the main character strongly attracts the attention of the reader, but also the plot of the narration itself.
When Mtsyri was still a child, the Russian general sent him to a Georgian monastery for education. Nothing is known about the boy's relatives, but he himself was taken as a prisoner. The main character could not withstand such a blow of fate, because he was left an orphan in a completely alien place to him. Because of this, the disease began to slowly kill him. Mtsyri was approaching death faster and faster. But he was lucky: one monk who became attached to him saved the boy. The young man grew up, learned the language and was preparing for the tonsure. "Mtsyri as a Romantic Hero" is an essay about a real person.
Storm escape
But suddenly a fatal event happens: on the eve of the tonsure, Mtsyri arranges an escape. This night was terrible, the storm was raging with might and main. The action of the protagonist and the weather even complement each other. The hero, of course, is being looked for. The search lasted three whole days, but it was all in vain. In the end, he is found unconscious, the same illness that struck him in childhood begins to destroy him again. The essay on the theme "Mtsyri as a Romantic Hero" should colorfully reflect this moment. To save the main character from the clutches of death, the monk who was involved in his upbringing is again trying. Mtsyri confesses to him, his confession is filled with notes of pride and passion. It reveals the character of the protagonist.
Monastery life
"Mtsyri as a Romantic Hero" is an essay about involuntary imprisonment.Of course, the most important point is the issue of Mtsyri's escape. Why did he do it? What are the reasons? Do not forget that our hero spent his life in this monastery against his will. He became a prisoner, and the monastery became a prison. Such a life was not life for him at all. In his opinion, it is better to die in freedom than to live in captivity all the time. How much the hero was deprived of! Lullabies for mothers, games with peers. He was never a monk at heart, he was forced to be by evil fate. Therefore, he dreamed of getting at least for a short moment everything that he had lost.
Mtsyri knew that he was at great risk, because he had no one and nothing in that unknown world. But that didn't stop him. The hero wasted no time when he finally got what he wanted for so long. He looks with complete delight at the world he was deprived of. And only here we see the real Mtsyri. His gloom and silence disappear somewhere, and we see that the hero of the poem is not only a rebel, but also a romantic. These character traits were revealed against the background of the beautiful Caucasian nature.
Mtsyri as a romantic hero: an essay on fortitude
He is shown courageous and courageous, feels like a warrior, although he did not have a chance to visit battles and battles. A very important moment in the story is the main character's tears. He was very proud of the fact that he did not usually give them free rein. But during the escape, Mtsyri could not restrain himself, even though no one saw him. The hero even compared himself to a thunderstorm. While the monks cowardly hid from her, he decided to escape. He kind of became a part of this stormy night.
Fortitude and patriotism
The young man's courage and resilience is manifested not only in the escape itself, not only in the fact that he decided to take such a risk, but also, for example, in the episode of the battle with the leopard. To understand the main plot of the poem, you can write the essay "Mtsyri as a romantic hero". The author briefly expresses his attitude to important life things. He was not afraid of death, because the return to the monastery, the return to his captivity was much more terrible for him. The tragic ending only emphasizes the strength of mind, patriotism and love for the will of the protagonist. And maybe he could not defeat fate. He was only able to change her for a short moment. But all this did not break the inner world of the hero.
Mtsyri is a deep patriot, because his main goal after his escape is the road to his homeland. Yes, he understands that no one is waiting for him there, but this is not the main thing. It is important for him to just set foot on his native land.
A meeting
The endurance and strength of Mtsyri's patriotism is also proved by the episode of the meeting with the girl. He felt the birth of his first love, he had only to follow the girl. But the desire to get to the Motherland turns out to be stronger. In spite of everything, he continues to move forward.
The role of landscape
Not only his inner qualities, but also the surrounding landscape perfectly reveal the image of Mtsyri. Mtsyri is a romantic hero, so he fully and completely feels the unity with nature. He identifies himself now with a thunderstorm, now with a small leaf. Either he raises his head like flowers at sunrise, then he learns the secrets of birds, listening to their chirping. He understands every pebble, every twig and blade of grass, notices all the shades of nature. He feels like an extension of it.
But nature is very strong and dangerous. Despite his unity with her, she also becomes an obstacle. That dark forest in which the hero is lost. He did not give up until the very end, but how much despair was when the whole truth came to Mtsyri - he walked in circles.
Nature gave Mtsyri almost everything he wanted so much: a sense of freedom, a sense of life. But the hero is not given the main goal to achieve, since he is not able to overcome the weakness of the body.
Traditional features of romanticism in the poem
The poem by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov is undoubtedly filled with the traditions of romanticism, which proves the main one as a romantic hero "- an essay according to the school curriculum that reveals the character. He is full of passions, lonely, one with nature, and not with the environment. He gradually and completely opens his soul All these are signs of romanticism.
The form of confession is also characteristic of romantic poems. After all, we read the soul of the hero through his own experiences, they are very detailed, which only helps to penetrate them deeper. In addition, there are many metaphors and images in confession. The essay on the theme "Mtsyri as a Romantic Hero" should reflect the fact that the hero's childhood was unhappy. Thanks to this, we gain a deeper understanding of our hero, his inner world.
Lermontov is proud of his character. After all, slavery makes people weak, kills their willpower. Fortunately, this did not happen with Mtsyri. His character is a counterbalance to the modern society in which the author himself lived.
