Oblomov's character

Roman I.A. Goncharov's "Oblomov" was published in 1859. It took almost 10 years to create it. This is one of the most outstanding novels of classical literature of our time. This is how famous people spoke about the novel literary critics that era. Goncharov was able to convey realistically objective and reliable facts about the reality of the layers of the social environment of the historical period. It must be assumed that his most successful achievement was the creation of the image of Oblomov.

He was a young man of about 32-33 years old, of average height, with a pleasant face and an intelligent look, but without any definite depth of meaning. As the author noted, the thought walked across the face like a free bird, fluttered in the eyes, dropped onto half-open lips, hid in the folds of the forehead, then completely disappeared and a carefree young man appeared in front of us. Sometimes one could read boredom or fatigue on his face, but still there was a gentleness of character and warmth of his soul. Throughout Oblomov’s life, he has been accompanied by three attributes of bourgeois well-being - a sofa, a robe and shoes. At home, Oblomov wore an oriental, soft, roomy robe. He spent all his free time lying down. Laziness was an integral trait of his character. Cleaning in the house was carried out superficially, creating the appearance of cobwebs hanging in the corners, although at first glance one might think that the room was well cleaned. There were two more rooms in the house, but he did not go there at all. If there was an uncleaned plate from dinner with crumbs everywhere, a half-smoked pipe, you would think that the apartment was empty, no one lived in it. He was always surprised by his energetic friends. How can you waste your life like this, scattered on dozens of things at once? His financial condition wanted to be better. Lying on the sofa, Ilya Ilyich was always thinking about how to correct him.

The image of Oblomov is a complex, contradictory, even tragic hero. His character predetermines an ordinary, uninteresting fate, devoid of the energy of life and its bright events. Goncharov draws his main attention to the established system of that era, which influenced his hero. This influence was expressed in Oblomov’s empty and meaningless existence. Helpless attempts at revival under the influence of Olga, Stolz, marriage to Pshenitsyna, and death itself are defined in the novel as Oblomovism.

The very character of the hero, according to the writer’s plan, is much larger and deeper. Oblomov's dream is the key to unlocking the entire novel. The hero moves to another era, to other people. Lots of light, joyful childhood, gardens, sunny rivers, but first you have to overcome obstacles, an endless sea with raging waves and groans. Behind him are rocks with abysses, a crimson sky with a red glow. After an exciting landscape, we find ourselves in a small corner where people live happily, where they want to be born and die, it cannot be otherwise, so they believe. Goncharov describes these residents: “Everything in the village is quiet and sleepy: the silent huts are wide open; not a soul in sight; Only flies fly in clouds and buzz in the stuffy atmosphere.” There we meet young Oblomov. As a child, Oblomov could not dress himself; servants always helped him. As an adult, he also resorts to their help. Ilyusha grows up in an atmosphere of love, peace and excessive care. Oblomovka is a corner where calm and undisturbed silence reigns. It's a dream within a dream. Everything around seems to have frozen, and nothing can wake up these people who live uselessly in a distant village without any connection with the rest of the world. Ilyusha grew up on fairy tales and legends that his nanny told him. Developing daydreaming, the fairy tale tied Ilyusha more to the house, causing inaction.

Oblomov’s dream describes the hero’s childhood and upbringing. All this helps to recognize Oblomov’s character. The life of the Oblomovs is passivity and apathy. Childhood is his ideal. There in Oblomovka, Ilyusha felt warm, reliable and very protected. This ideal doomed him to a further aimless existence.

The solution to the character of Ilya Ilyich in his childhood, from where direct threads stretch to the adult hero. The character of a hero is an objective result of the conditions of birth and upbringing.

Oblomov novel laziness character

Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” was written during the period of transition of Russian society from outdated, home-building traditions and values ​​to new, educational views and ideas. This process became the most complex and difficult for representatives of the landowner social class, as it required an almost complete rejection of the usual way of life and was associated with the need to adapt to new, more dynamic and rapidly changing conditions. And if part of society easily adapted to the new circumstances, for others the transition process turned out to be very difficult, since it was essentially opposed to the usual way of life of their parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. The representative of precisely such landowners, who failed to change with the world, adapting to it, in the novel is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. According to the plot of the work, the hero was born in a village far from the capital of Russia - Oblomovka, where he received a classic landowner, house-building education, which formed many of the main character traits of Oblomov - weak-willedness, apathy, lack of initiative, laziness, reluctance to work and the expectation that someone will do everything for him. Excessive parental care, constant prohibitions, and the pacifying and lazy atmosphere of Oblomovka led to a deformation of the character of a curious and active boy, making him introverted, prone to escapism and unable to overcome even the most minor difficulties.

The inconsistency of Oblomov’s character in the novel “Oblomov”

The negative side of Oblomov’s character

In the novel, Ilya Ilyich does not decide anything on his own, hoping for help from the outside - Zakhar, who will bring him food or clothes, Stolz, who is able to solve the problems in Oblomovka, Tarantiev, who, although he will deceive, will himself figure out the situation that interests Oblomov, etc. The hero is not interested in real life, it causes him boredom and fatigue, while he finds true peace and satisfaction in the world of illusions he himself has invented. Spending all his days lying on the sofa, Oblomov makes unrealistic plans for the arrangement of Oblomovka and his happy family life, in many ways similar to the calm, monotonous atmosphere of his childhood. All his dreams are directed to the past, even the future that he imagines for himself - echoes of a distant past that can no longer be returned.

It would seem that a lazy, lumbering hero living in an untidy apartment cannot evoke sympathy and affection from the reader, especially against the backdrop of Ilya Ilyich’s active, purposeful friend, Stolz. However, Oblomov’s true essence is revealed gradually, which allows us to see all the versatility and inner unrealized potential of the hero. Even as a child, surrounded by quiet nature, the care and control of his parents, the sensitive, dreamy Ilya was deprived of the most important thing - knowledge of the world through its opposites - beauty and ugliness, victories and defeats, the need to do something and the joy of what was gained through one’s own labor. From an early age, the hero had everything he needed - helpful servants carried out orders at the first call, and his parents spoiled their son in every possible way. Finding himself outside his parents' nest, Oblomov, not ready for the real world, continues to expect that everyone around him will treat him as warmly and welcomingly as in his native Oblomovka. However, his hopes were destroyed already in the first days in the service, where no one cared about him, and everyone was only for themselves. Deprived of the will to live, the ability to fight for his place in the sun and perseverance, Oblomov, after an accidental mistake, leaves the service himself, fearing punishment from his superiors. The very first failure becomes the last for the hero - he no longer wants to move forward, hiding from the real, “cruel” world in his dreams.

Positive side of Oblomov’s character

The person who could pull Oblomov out of this passive state leading to personality degradation was Andrei Ivanovich Stolts. Perhaps Stolz is the only character in the novel who thoroughly saw not only the negative, but also the positive traits of Oblomov: sincerity, kindness, the ability to feel and understand the problems of another person, inner calm and simplicity. It was to Ilya Ilyich that Stolz came in difficult moments, when he needed support and understanding. Oblomov’s dove-like tenderness, sensuality and sincerity are also revealed during his relationship with Olga. Ilya Ilyich is the first to realize that he is not suitable for the active, purposeful Ilyinskaya, who does not want to devote herself to “Oblomov” values ​​- this reveals him as a subtle psychologist. Oblomov is ready to give up his own love, because he understands that he cannot give Olga the happiness she dreams of.

Oblomov’s character and fate are closely connected - his lack of will, inability to fight for his happiness, together with spiritual kindness and gentleness, lead to tragic consequences - fear of the difficulties and sorrows of reality, as well as the hero’s complete withdrawal into the pacifying, calm, wonderful world of illusions.

National character in the novel "Oblomov"

The image of Oblomov in Goncharov’s novel is a reflection of the national Russian character, its ambiguity and versatility. Ilya Ilyich is the same archetypal Emelya the fool on the stove, about whom the nanny told the hero in childhood. Like the character in the fairy tale, Oblomov believes in a miracle that should happen to him by itself: a supportive firebird or a kind sorceress will appear and take him to beautiful world honey and milk rivers. And the chosen one of the sorceress should not be a bright, hard-working, active hero, but always “quiet, harmless,” “some kind of lazy person who is offended by everyone.”

Unquestioning faith in a miracle, in a fairy tale, in the possibility of the impossible - main feature not only Ilya Ilyich, but also any Russian person raised on folk tales and legends. Finding itself on fertile soil, this faith becomes the basis of a person’s life, replacing reality with illusion, as happened with Ilya Ilyich: “his fairy tale is mixed with life, and he is unconsciously sad sometimes, why is a fairy tale not life, and why is life not a fairy tale.”

At the end of the novel, Oblomov, it would seem, finds that “Oblomov” happiness that he has long dreamed of - a calm, monotonous life without stress, a caring, kind wife, an organized life and a son. However, Ilya Ilyich does not return to the real world, he remains in his illusions, which become more important and significant for him than real happiness next to the woman who adores him. In fairy tales, the hero must pass three tests, after which he will be expected to fulfill all his desires, otherwise the hero will die. Ilya Ilyich does not pass a single test, giving in first to failure in the service, and then to the need to change for the sake of Olga. Describing Oblomov’s life, the author seems to be ironizing about the hero’s excessive faith in an unrealizable miracle for which there is no need to fight.

Conclusion

At the same time, the simplicity and complexity of Oblomov’s character, the ambiguity of the character himself, the analysis of his positive and negative aspects, allow you to see in Ilya Ilyich eternal image unfulfilled personality “out of time” – “ extra person”, who failed to find his own place in real life, and therefore went into the world of illusions. However, the reason for this, as Goncharov emphasizes, is not a fatal combination of circumstances or the difficult fate of the hero, but the incorrect upbringing of Oblomov, who is sensitive and gentle in character. Grown like " indoor plant“Ilya Ilyich turned out to be unadapted to a reality that was quite harsh for his refined nature, replacing it with the world of his own dreams.

________________________________ will tell us about dreams

(pre-prepared message from the student(s)

Dreams have long been used in fiction to create a mysterious atmosphere, motivate the actions of characters, and convey their emotional state. From the time of ancient Russian literature dreams warned of dangers, served as signs, provided assistance, instructed, tested, and presented a choice. Dreams perform retrospective (looking into the past) and prognostic functions. They absorb all three times: they show pictures of the past, present and future. Dreams can serve as memory. Thus, dreams in works fiction polysemous.

Let's remember in which previously studied works you encountered dream episodes?

Work

Meaning of sleep

A.S. Pushkin

"Eugene Onegin"

Tatyana's dream plays a large role in the novel. It not only shows deep nationality main character , but also prompts to the reader further events works.

A.S. Pushkin " Captain's daughter»

Prophetic Grinev’s dream is inspired by a blizzard (“... I dozed off, lulled by the singing of the storm and the rolling of the quiet ride...”), he seems to continue the description of the storm. Dream anticipates further events. Pushkin uses vivid dream symbolism. For example, the “axe” that the “man” is swinging, “dead bodies”, bloody puddles” are not only images of a dream, these are terrible pictures seen by Grinev after the capture of the Belogorsk fortress.

A.N. Ostrovsky “Thunderstorm”

Katerina's dreams reveal the heroine's inner world, dreaminess, poetic nature. Dreams are vague, vague, exciting.

V.A. Zhukovsky “Svetlana”

I.A. Goncharov “Oblomov”

Oblomov's dream

?

1. Dream - as revealing the spiritual state of the hero, a means of psychological analysis.

2. Dream - as a prediction of the future.

What function does a dream perform in the novel “Oblomov” by I.A. Goncharova? Working in groups will help answer this question.

How many parts does it consist of (relatively speaking)? How did you determine this?

(“Oblomov’s Dream” consists of 3 parts:

"Blessed Corner of the Earth"

Seven-year-old Oblomov parental home. Schedule. Raising a boy. Perception of the surrounding world. Nanny's Tales.

Oblomov is 13-14 years old. Oblomov's education. Oblomovites' views on life.

Each group analyzes their part of the dream, highlighting key words. Questions and theses will help you with this. Then we review each part.

Group performance

Each part is a series of vivid episodes from Oblomov’s childhood, completely different in theme, but connected by a common idea.

Nature, family lifestyle, outlook on life and education influenced the formation WHAT??? – (Character Main character.)

(a slide “+” and “-” sides of Oblomov’s life appears)

Positive moments of Oblomov’s life

Negative aspects of Oblomov’s life

Picture of the world

1. The unity of people with nature; man has no fear of it.

2. The unity of people with each other, the love of parents for Ilya.

1. Oblomovka’s isolation from the outside world, even the Oblomovites’ fear of it (the story with the ravine, the fear of writing).

Philosophy of life.

1. Measured, calm life, where, as in nature, there are no disasters. Death, which comes unnoticed, is also perceived as a natural process.

2. There is no place for evil in Oblomovka.

1. From the daily routine it is clear that life is a mechanical repetition of eating and sleeping, empty evenings and fruitless conversations.

2. The Oblomovites’ inability to work, their attitude towards work as a punishment, hope in everything “maybe” (a shaky porch, Onisim Suslov’s hut, a collapsed gallery).

Child education

1. Mother's love.

2. Formation of a poetic spirituality in a child with the help of fairy tales and folklore.

1. Excessive love, leading to protection from one’s own activities.

2. Fairy tales give rise to fruitless dreams that a miracle can happen in life without difficulty, and this leads to the complete passivity of the hero.

What character traits did Oblomov develop? Record in the Worksheet table. (children write down)

Positive features

Philanthropy

Honesty

Conscientiousness

Kindness

"columbine simplicity

The ability to feel beauty

Self-criticism

Capacity for self-accusation

Reluctance to be humiliated by vanity (career, money, fame)

The desire for harmony in the soul

Negative traits

Inability to overcome difficulties

Lack of will

Indecisiveness

Inertia

Barsky arrogance

Hope for "maybe"

Passivity

Empty reverie

To name a few...

So, the table reflects the opposite sides of Oblomov’s life. And more often than not, the hero himself was assessed only taking into account one side that influenced his life. Here are two statements from critics. Read them. Which side did they take in Oblomov?

N. Dobrolyubov: “In Goncharov’s book we see a living modern Russian type, minted with merciless rigor and correctness. What are the features of Oblomov’s character? In complete inertia, resulting from apathy towards everything that is happening in the world...”

A.V. Druzhinin: “The sleepy Oblomov, a native of the sleepy and yet poetic Oblomovka, is free from moral diseases... He is not infected with everyday depravity. A child by nature and according to the conditions of his development, Ilya Ilyich largely left behind him the purity and simplicity of a child, which place the dreamy eccentric above the prejudices of his age.”

Who do you think is right?

(students come to the conclusion that both of these sides exist in Oblomov’s personality, and neither one nor the other can be excluded or absolutized.)

Now return to your associations with the word “sleep.”

Is there anything in Oblomov’s character that you noted in the associations?

This means that we have correctly identified the role of sleep in the novel.

Lesson summary

What thoughts will you leave the lesson with?

Today we took Oblomov on a journey into his childhood, examined the hero under a linguistic microscope to understand “why he is like this.” There is a lot that is attractive about him: he is charming, kind, gentle, and able to think. But he turned out to be unprepared for life: he was not taught to work, to act independently, and his vivid imagination and curiosity were not encouraged. As a result, a decent, intelligent person turned into an apathetic one, and his name became a household name.

Today's conversation is useful for you and as future parents. “Oblomov” is an example of how not to educate. I.A. Goncharov wrote: “And the child watched everything and observed everything with his childish mind, not missing anything.”

Design: a portrait of I.A. Goncharov is attached to the board, the first part of the topic and the questions that students will answer during the lesson are written down.

During the classes:

I. Introductory stage:

Teacher's word: Today we have to get acquainted with a very significant chapter in the context of the novel, which is called “Oblomov’s Dream.” In addition, we will find out the compositional features of its use, identify the features of the life of the Oblomovites, which influenced the formation of the character of Ilya Ilyich.

Conversation (about the tradition of using sleep in literature):

Note: U – teacher’s question; y is the student’s answer.

W: Let's remember which works we studied earlier contained a dream?

from: A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” - Tatyana’s dream.

from: A.S. Pushkin “The Captain’s Daughter” - a dream of Petrusha Grinev.

from: “Ballads” by V. Zhukovsky.

*U – teacher’s question; y is the student’s answer.

W: Yes, you are absolutely right. What do you think is the function of sleep in these works, and why do the authors use them?

u: Through dreams, the features of the character’s inner world are revealed; here, in a distorted form, the thoughts and fears of the characters are reflected; the future can also be represented in dreams.

U: Let’s think about what is unique about the compositional use of sleep in the novel “Oblomov”?

y: The dream represents Oblomov’s childhood, but Goncharov does not begin the novel with a description of childhood, but transfers it to chapter 9. Thus, the hero is first introduced to us, and then only his personality is revealed.

II. Analysis of the work:

Teacher's word: Now let's move on to the consideration of "Dream". Now we will hear a description of Oblomovka, with which “The Dream” opens. Let's try to find in it significant words, epithets (definitions that give the expression figurativeness and emotionality) with which the author conveys his attitude towards this place.

Artistic reading of a passage by a student:

"Where are we? To what blessed corner of the earth did Oblomov’s dream take us? What a wonderful land! No, really, there are seas there, no high mountains, rocks and abysses, no dense forests - there is nothing grandiose, wild and gloomy...

The sky there, it seems, is pressing closer to the earth, but not in order to throw more arrows, but perhaps only to hug it tighter, with love: it spreads out so low above your head, like a parent’s reliable roof, to protect, it seems, the chosen one a corner from all adversity.

The sun shines there brightly and hotly for about six months and then does not suddenly leave there, as if reluctantly, as if it were turning back to look once or twice at its favorite place and give it a clear, warm day in the fall, amidst bad weather.

The mountains there seem to be just models of those terrible mountains erected somewhere that terrify the imagination. This is a series of gentle hills, from which it is customary to ride, frolicking, on your back or, sitting on them, look thoughtfully at the setting sun.

The river runs merrily, frolicking and playing; It either spills into a wide pond, then rushes like a quick thread, or becomes quiet, as if lost in thought, and crawls a little over the pebbles, releasing playful streams on the sides, under the murmur of which it sweetly dozes.

The entire corner of fifteen or twenty miles around was a series of picturesque sketches, cheerful, smiling landscapes. The sandy and sloping banks of a bright river, small bushes creeping up from a hill to the water, a curved ravine with a stream at the bottom and a birch grove - everything seemed to have been deliberately tidied up one by one and masterfully drawn.

A heart exhausted by worries or not at all familiar with them asks to hide in this forgotten corner and live a happiness unknown to anyone. Everything there promises a calm, long-term life until the hair turns yellow and an unnoticeable, sleep-like death.”

The student highlights epithets and significant words, the rest complement it: blessed corner; wonderful land; favorite place; pictorial sketches; cheerful, smiling landscapes, everything is quiet and sleepy, etc.

U: Draw a conclusion about what this place was like in Oblomov’s life.

u: This is an ideal place, a paradise for Oblomov.

Teacher's word: And now let’s turn to real life in Oblomovka. And let's see if everything in it is really as perfect as presented in the description.

In order to remember the key aspects of the life of the Oblomovites, we will watch fragments from N. Mikhalkov’s film “Six Days in the Life of Oblomov.” I ask you to divide into two teams, the task of one team will be to find positive moments in Oblomov’s life, and the other - to find negative, negative moments. And in order to make it easier for you to highlight aspects, I suggest you pay attention to 3 areas:

1. Picture of the world.
2. Philosophy of life.
3. Child education.

And then, using examples from the film and supplementing them with examples from the text, we will answer the question: “Can we really call Oblomovka paradise and why?”

View episodes from the film:

1. Ilyusha's curiosity.
2. Mismanagement of Oblomovites.
3. An all-encompassing sleep like death.
4. Repetitive, fruitless evenings. The unifying principle is laughter.
5. Prayer.

Discussion between two groups of students. The results of the discussion are presented in a notebook and on the board in the form of the following table.

Teacher's word: So, you and I have reflected in our table the opposite sides of Oblomovka’s life. And more often than not, the hero of the novel was assessed only taking into account one side that influenced his life. Here are two statements from critics, which side did they take in Oblomov?

N. Dobrolyubov: “In Goncharov’s book we see a living modern Russian type, minted with merciless rigor and correctness. What are the features of Oblomov’s character? In complete inertia, resulting from apathy towards everything that is happening in the world...”

A.V. Druzhinin: “The sleepy Oblomov, a native of the sleepy and yet poetic Oblomovka, is free from moral diseases... He is not infected with everyday depravity. A child by nature and according to the conditions of his development, Ilya Ilyich largely left behind him the purity and simplicity of a child, which place the dreamy eccentric above the prejudices of his age.”

W: Which of these researchers do you think is right?

Students come to the conclusion that both of these sides exist in Oblomov’s personality and neither one nor the other can be excluded or absolutized.

III. Lesson summary:

The class comes up with a topic for the lesson that would reflect the bidirectionality of Oblomov’s essence. (For example, “Oblomov’s Dream – the world of a sleepy and poetic soul.”)

(16 )

Characteristics of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov very ambiguous. Goncharov created it complex and mysterious. Oblomov separates himself from the outside world, fences himself off from it. Even his home bears little resemblance to habitation.

From early childhood, he saw a similar example from his relatives, who also fenced themselves off from the outside world and protected it. It was not customary to work in his home. When he, as a child, played snowballs with peasant children, they then warmed him up for several days. In Oblomovka they were wary of everything new - even a letter that came from a neighbor, in which he asked for a beer recipe, was afraid to open for three days.

But Ilya Ilyich remembers his childhood with joy. He idolizes the nature of Oblomovka, although this is an ordinary village, not particularly remarkable. He was brought up by rural nature. This nature instilled in him poetry and a love of beauty.

Ilya Ilyich does nothing, just complains about something all the time and engages in verbiage. He is lazy, does nothing himself and does not expect anything from others. He accepts life as it is and does not try to change anything in it.

When people come to him and tell him about their lives, he feels that in the bustle of life they forget that they are wasting their lives in vain... And he does not need to fuss, act, does not need to prove anything to anyone. Ilya Ilyich simply lives and enjoys life.

It's hard to imagine him in motion, he looks funny. At rest, lying on the sofa, it is natural. He looks at ease - this is his element, his nature.

Let's summarize what we read:

1. Appearance of Ilya Oblomov. Ilya Ilyich is a young man, 33 years old, of good appearance, of average height, plump. The softness of his facial expression showed him to be a weak-willed and lazy person.
2. Family status. At the beginning of the novel, Oblomov is not married, he lives with his servant Zakhar. At the end of the novel he gets married and is happily married.
3. Description of the home. Ilya lives in St. Petersburg in an apartment on Gorokhovaya Street. The apartment is neglected; the servant Zakhar, who is as lazy as the owner, rarely sneaks into it. A special place in the apartment is occupied by a sofa, on which Oblomov lies around the clock.
4. Behavior and actions of the hero. Ilya Ilyich can hardly be called an active person. Only his friend Stolz manages to bring Oblomov out of his slumber. Main character lies on the sofa and only dreams that he will soon get up from it and take care of business. He cannot even solve pressing problems. His estate has fallen into disrepair and is not bringing in any money, so Oblomov doesn’t even have money to pay the rent.
5. The author's attitude towards the hero. Goncharov has sympathy for Oblomov, he considers him kind, sincere person. At the same time, he sympathizes with him: it is a pity that a young, capable, not stupid man has lost all interest in life.
6. My attitude towards Ilya Oblomov. In my opinion, he is too lazy and weak-willed, and therefore cannot command respect. At times he just infuriates me, I want to go up and shake him. I don't like people who live their lives so mediocrely. Perhaps I react so strongly to this hero because I feel the same shortcomings in myself.
