"Trial by Death". Bazarov's illness and death
Evgeny Bazarov preferred to defend the ideas of nihilism. The main character of the novel by I.S. Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" is a young nihilist Yevgeny Bazarov. In the course of reading, we learn the ideas of this movement.
Our hero followed in the footsteps of his father - the county doctor. But living in the middle of the nineteenth century, he was a supporter, like all young people, of the ideas of nihilism. He adheres to the conviction that a person needs to know only science that brings sense. For example, exact sciences: mathematics, chemistry. He defends his point of view that a decent mathematician or chemist is more useful than some poet! And poetry is the entertainment and fantasy of rich bums. It clearly manifests a denial of love for living objects of nature. And he is increasingly moving away from family and good friends.
He believes that there are physiological processes driven by the behavior of all people. Ideas flourish in his mind that
In work, he is persistent, constantly works, gives himself all to the sick. In carrying out his work duties, he experiences a sense of joy. Among the people who encountered him in the hospital, he enjoyed authority and respect. He was liked by those around him, sick children.
And then comes the tragic moment - the death of Bazarov. There is a huge sense of the current event here. The cause of death is blood infection. And now, being completely alone, he begins to experience anxiety. He is tormented by internal conflicting feelings in relation to denying ideas. And he began to understand the importance of parental support and participation. That they are getting old and they need help and love from their son.
He boldly looked death in the face. He showed strong self-confidence. He sensed both fear and lack of human attention. Scientific discoveries, his knowledge of medicine did not help him. Natural viruses and their incurable progression took over his life.
A good person who helps people took on the disease. He is tormented by doubts that he did not complete everything on earth. In this work, he heroically fights for life. An excellent doctor and a kind person.
I like this character. Before his death, he reconsiders his attitude to nature, family, loved one. He realizes that he is still not married. Odintsova comes to him, and he confesses his love to her. He asks for forgiveness from his parents, begins to think about God. He does not want to die, he believes that he could still serve Russia. But, alas, his ideal is that medicine is powerless.
Composition Death of Bazarov episode analysis
The protagonist of Ivan Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons" is a young and educated Evgeny Bazarov. The guy considers himself a nihilist, he denies the existence of God and any human feelings. Bazarov studied natural sciences, he believed that people should devote more time to such sciences as physics, chemistry and mathematics, and in poets he saw only lazy and not interesting people.
Evgeny Vasilievich Bazarov was born into a family where his father worked all his life as a district doctor. Bazarov believes that man has unlimited strength, so he believed that he was subject to rejection of all the previous experience of mankind and to live according to his own understanding. Bazarov considered the main purpose of the nihilists to destroy all the delusions of their ancestors. Without a doubt, it is clear that Bazarov is smart enough, and has great potential, according to the author himself, the hero's beliefs are incorrect and even dangerous, they contradict the laws of life.
Over time, Bazarov begins to become convinced that for a long time he was mistaken in his beliefs. The first blow for him was suddenly flared up feelings for the young and beautiful Anna Sergeevna, at first the guy just admired the beauty of the girl, and then he caught himself thinking that he had some kind of feelings for her. The hero was afraid of the inexplicable, he did not understand what was happening to him, because the convinced nihilist rejected the existence of love. Love made him rethink his faith, he became disillusioned with himself, he realized that he is a simple person who can be controlled by feelings. This discovery knocked Bazarov down, he did not know how to continue to live, the guy leaves home to try to forget the girl.
In the parental home, a fateful event takes place with him. Bazarov performed an autopsy on a patient who died of a terrible disease called typhus, and subsequently he becomes infected himself. Lying in bed, Bazarov realized that he had several days left. Before dying, the guy completely convinces himself that, after all, he was mistaken in everything, that it is love that brings great meaning to a person's life. He understands that in all his life he has not done anything useful for Russia, and an ordinary hard worker, butcher, shoemaker or baker brought more benefit to the country. Eugene asks Anna to come to say goodbye. Despite the dangerous illness, the girl immediately goes to her beloved.
Bazarov is an intelligent, strong and gifted person who strove to live and work for the good of the country. However, with his wrong convictions, belief in nihilism, he renounced all the main values of humanity, thereby destroying himself.
Option 3
Fathers and Sons is a novel that was published in 1861. It was not an easy time for Russia. Changes were taking place in the country, and the people were divided into two halves. There were Democrats on one side and liberals on the other. But, regardless of the idea of each side, they understood that Russia required changes in any case.
This work of Turgenev has a sad ending, the main character dies. In this work, the author felt new traits in people, but he could not understand one thing, how these characters would act. The protagonist Bazarov meets death at a very young age. Bazarov is a direct person and always able to put a certain amount of sarcasm into speech. But when the hero felt that he was dying, he changed. He found kindness, became polite, he completely contradicted his convictions.
It becomes noticeable that Bazarov is very sympathetic to the author of the work. This becomes especially evident when it comes time for Bazarov to die. During the death of the hero, his essence, his true character, becomes visible. Bazarov is in love with Odintsov, but this does not affect him in any way before his death. He is still brave, selfless, the hero is not afraid of death. Bazarov knows that he will soon leave for another world and has no concern at all about the people who will remain. He doesn't worry about unfinished business or questions. Why does the author show the reader the death of a hero? The main thing for Turgenev was to show that Bazarov is a non-standard person.
The main idea of the author is in love and fearlessness before the moment of death. Also, Turgenev did not miss the theme of the sons' respect for their parents. The main thing is that Bazarov is on the verge of scrapping, but he is not defeated. It is interesting that even after his death, the main character has not changed some of his principles. He is dead and still cannot perceive religion in any way, it is not acceptable to him.
The moment of Bazarov's farewell to Madame Odintsova is constructed very clearly and in contrast. The author emphasizes a living woman and a man who dies. Turgenev emphasizes the sharpness of the scene. Anna is young, beautiful, light, and Bazarov is like a half-crushed worm.
The ending of the work is really tragic. After all, there is no other way to call it, a very young man is dying, and besides, he is in love. It is sad, of course, that death cannot be deceived or avoided; nothing depends on the person himself. It's pretty hard on your soul when you read the final scene of Turgenev's work.
Composition of Bazarov in the face of death Grade 10
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a classic of Russian literature and a true master of the pen. Only Nabokov and Tolstoy can compare with him in beauty and picturesque descriptions. The work of Turgenev's whole life is the novel "Fathers and Sons", the protagonist of which Bazarov Eugene is a reflection of a new, just emerging type of people in the Russian Empire. The main character of the novel dies at the end of the work. Why? I will answer this question in my essay.
So, Bazarov is a nihilist (a person who does not recognize authorities and denies everything old, traditional). He studies at the university at the Faculty of Natural Sciences, to study the world around him. Bazarov denies everything: art, love, God, the aristocracy of the Kirsanov family and the foundations of society.
The storyline of the work confronts Bazarov with Pavel Petrovich Kirsanovs - a man of truly liberal views, this was not done by accident: this is how Turgenev shows the political struggle of revolutionary democracy (in the person of Bazarov) and the liberal camp (in the person of the Kirsanov family).
Then Bazarov meets Anna Sergeevna Odintsova, a very well-read girl who is well versed in matters of not only fashion, but also science, as well as with a strong character. This amazes Bazarov, he falls in love. And after she refuses him, he leaves for his parents in the estate and dies there from blood poisoning. It would seem an ordinary story, but it is still classical Russian literature, and Bazarov's death is understandable. Bazarov, a man who denied everything, including love, finds himself in such a position that he himself loves another person: he is tormented by contradictions, he begins to see reality as it really is.
It was the destruction of Bazarov's main principle - the denial of love - that killed Bazarov. A person who literally breathed nihilism can no longer live in his illusion, having met such a strong feeling. Turgenev needs the destruction of Bazarov's principles and his sudden death in order to show that Bazarov is useless in this society.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the destruction of Bazarov's principles on the part of Turgenev can be perceived in two ways: on the one hand, this is a reflection of reality as Turgenev saw it, on the other hand, it is the political nature of Turgenev, because Turgenev himself was a liberal and having drawn such a line that the liberal Arkady lives happily, and the revolutionary democrat Bazarov died, this suggests that Turgenev, through opposition, expressed his political position, calling himself right. For what purpose it was to kill Bazarov, only history knows the answer to this question ...

Bazarov dies from an accidental cut on his finger, but death, from the author's point of view, is natural. Turgenev defines the figure of Bazarov as tragic and “doomed to death”.
Turgenev was very fond of Bazarov and repeated many times that Bazarov was a “clever girl” and a “hero”. The author wanted the reader to fall in love with Bazarov (but by no means Bazarovism) with his rudeness, heartlessness, and pitiless dryness.

Episode is a Greek word, has three interpretations: “Case”, “Insert”, “Stranger”. In the explanatory dictionary, two meanings stand out:
- Case of life. Just an episode.
- A part of a work that has independent meaning. Episode from the work. Thus, in order to analyze an episode, it is necessary to define its boundaries. Having defined the topic, the main idea and heading, you can begin the analysis according to the plan:
- What part of the work does he occupy (i.e., the role in the composition)?
- Concise retelling. Name the first events (outset), the main event (culmination), the last event (denouement) of the incident that occurred, if they were not highlighted by the students during the transition of the plot.
- Next, let's see how the episode is built. An episode is a whole piece of text, which assumes the presence of an introduction (a message about revenge and the time of action) and a conclusion (a consequence). Having defined the main part by the boundaries of the tie, divide it into parts (you can make a plan). Find out where the climax is.
- Let's ask the question: What qualities of the character of the hero appeared in the episode?
- If you look at the entire work, then what role does this incident (episode) play in the fate of the hero, what did it change or did not change in it, but could it?
- If you look at the plot of the entire work, then what is the role of the episode in the plot (it is the plot, one of the passing events of the action, the culmination, the denouement)?
- Author's position. How does the author relate to the hero, what is happening? What words or expressions characterize the hero or what is happening? What is the author's assessment in them?
- Features of the language of the writer. You can pay attention to the language of the characters, the language of the author or the narrator (if any). Lexicon, neologisms, syntactic structure, aphorism and more.
- What artistic techniques does the author use in this episode?
- Thus, we come to the problematics of the episode, to its connection with the artistic whole.
When working with an episode, the main attention should be paid to comprehending its artistic features, in other words, to suggest a path from artistic features to problems, and not vice versa. In other words, with this path of analysis, the student teaches everything to “read” from the text, and not to illustrate with the text from some unknown source (at best, from the words of a teacher or from a textbook) provisions.

The novel "Fathers and Sons" by I.S. Turgenev ends up with the death of the main character. Understanding the reasons why the author ends his work in this way is possible through the analysis of the episode "Bazarov's death". Fathers and Sons is a novel in which the death of the protagonist is certainly not accidental. Perhaps this ending speaks of the inconsistency and beliefs of this character. So, let's try to figure it out.
Who is Bazarov?
An analysis of the episode of Bazarov's death is impossible without understanding what this character is. Thanks to what is told about Eugene in the novel, we imagine an intelligent, self-confident, cynical young man who denies generally accepted moral principles and ideals. He considers love to be "physiology", in his opinion, a person should not depend on anyone.
Subsequently, however, Turgenev reveals to us in his hero such qualities as sensitivity, kindness, the ability to deep feelings.
Bazarov is a nihilist, that is, a person who denies all generally accepted values, including he does not share the enthusiasm of amateurs.In his opinion, only that which brings practical benefit is significant. He considers everything beautiful to be meaningless. Eugene means "work for the benefit of society" as his main one. His task is "to live for the great goal of renewing the world."
Attitude towards others
An analysis of the episode of Bazarov's death in Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons" cannot be carried out without understanding how the relationship of the protagonist with the people who made up his social circle was built. It should be noted that Bazarov treated others with contempt, he put others lower than himself. This was manifested, for example, in the things he said to Arkady about himself and his relatives. Affection, sympathy, tenderness - all these feelings Eugene considers unacceptable.
Lyubov Bazarova
An analysis of the episode of Bazarov's death requires mentioning that, with all his disregard for lofty feelings, he, ironically, falls in love. His love is unusually deep, as evidenced by an explanation with Anna Sergeevna Odintsova. Realizing that he is capable of such a feeling, Bazarov ceases to treat him as physiology. He begins to consider the existence of love possible. Such a change of views could not pass without leaving a trace for Eugene, who lived with the ideas of nihilism. His old life has been destroyed.
Bazarov's explanation of love is not just words, it is an admission of his own defeat. Eugene's nihilistic theories are shattered.
Turgenev considers it inappropriate to end the novel with a change in the views of the protagonist, and decides to end the work with his death.
Is Bazarov's death an accident?
So, in the finale of the novel, the main event is the death of Bazarov. The analysis of the episode requires recalling the reason why, according to the text of the work, the main character dies.
His life becomes impossible due to an unfortunate accident - a small cut, which Bazarov received when opening the body of a peasant who died of typhus. Ironically, as a doctor who is doing a useful job, there is nothing he can do to save his life. The realization that he was going to die gave the protagonist time to evaluate his achievements. Bazarov, aware of the inevitability of his death, is calm and strong, although, of course, being a young and energetic person, he regrets that there is so little left to live.
Bazarov's attitude to death and to himself
An analysis of the episode of Bazarov's death is impossible without a deeper understanding of how the hero relates to the proximity of his end and death in general.
Not a single person can calmly realize the approach of the finale of his life. Evgeny, being a person who is certainly strong and self-confident, is no exception. He regrets that he did not fulfill his main task. He understands the power of death and speaks of the approaching last minutes with bitter irony: "Yes, go and try to deny death. She denies you, and that's it!"
So, the death of Bazarov is approaching. The analysis of the episode, which is one of the key in the novel, needs an understanding of how the character of the protagonist has changed. Eugene becomes kinder and more sentimental. He wants to meet with his beloved, once again talk about his feelings. Bazarov is softer than before, treats parents, now understanding their importance.
An analysis of the episode of Bazarov's death shows how lonely the protagonist of the work is. He does not have a loved one to whom he could convey his beliefs, therefore, there is no future for his views.
Understanding true values
In the face of death, they change. An understanding comes of what is really important in life.
An analysis of the episode "Bazarov's death" based on the novel by Ivan Turgenev requires an understanding of what values the protagonist now considers to be true.
The most important thing for him now is his parents, their love for him, as well as his feelings for Madame Odintsova. He wants to say goodbye to her, and Anna, not afraid to get infected, comes to Eugene. Bazarov shares his innermost thoughts with her. He comes to the understanding that Russia does not need it at all, it needs those who do their usual work every day.
Bazarov finds it harder to come to terms with his death than any other person, because he is an atheist and does not believe in life after death.
Turgenev ends his novel with the death of Bazarov. The principles by which the hero lived are destroyed. Bazarov did not have any stronger, new ideals. Turgenev notes that it was the deep adherence to nihilism that killed the protagonist, which forced him to abandon the universal values that allow him to live in this world.

Teacher: How does Bazarov appear before death?
Before reading the episode, students should be told about Turgenev's own attitude to death (briefly), as well as pay attention to the statements of famous people about this scene in the novel Fathers and Sons.
A.P. Chekhov: “My God! What a luxury Fathers and Sons! Just shout the guard though. Bazarov's illness was so severe that I was weakened, and it felt as if I had contracted it from him. And the end of Bazarov? The devil knows how it was done. "
DI. Pisarev: "To die the way Bazarov died is the same as to do a great feat."
Teacher: What do these statements have in common?
Pupils: The novel "Fathers and Sons" was written with great talent and power. Bazarov's death is not weakness, but his greatness.

Teacher: Do you agree with the words of Pisarev and Chekhov? What's new in the image of Bazarov have you discovered for yourself?
Disciples: He is sincere, as in confession. Open and honest. Real. There is no need to save face, to defend your position. Death is all the same. And he is afraid of death, which denies everything, even himself. Feelings are mixed: pity, respect, and pride. Bazarov in this scene is an ordinary person, not an unbending giant at all, but a soft, sensitive, loving son (how amazingly he says about his parents!), A loving person.
Teacher: Surprisingly, many writers foresee their passing. So in the novel "A Hero of Our Time" M.Yu. Lermontov very accurately described his death in the scene of Pechorin's duel with Grushnitsky. Turgenev also foresaw his own demise. Such insights in art are not so rare. Read a few quotes.
Prince Meshchersky: “Then his speeches became incoherent, he repeated the same word many times with increasing effort, as if expecting help to finish the thought and falling into some irritation when these efforts turned out to be fruitless, but we, unfortunately , could not help him at all. "
V. Vereshchagin: “Ivan Sergeevich was lying on his back, his arms were stretched out along his torso, his eyes looked a little bit, his mouth was terribly open, and his head, thrown back a little to the left, was thrown upward with every breath; it is clear that the patient is suffocating, that he does not have enough air, - I confess, I could not bear it, I cried. "
Ivan Turgenev, describing the death of his hero, according to his confession, also cried. There are striking coincidences between novel and life. “Bazarov was not destined to wake up. By evening he fell into complete unconsciousness, and the next day he died. "
In the mouth of his hero, Turgenev put the very words that he himself could not utter: "And now the whole task of the giant is how to die decently." The giant coped with this task.
4. Conclusions. Summarizing. Homework.
What is the novel about? About life. And the ending is life-affirming. The scene of Bazarov's death is not a denouement, but the culmination of the novel. It is in this scene that we see the true greatness and sincere simplicity and humanity of Bazarov. In the death scene, he is real, without feigned negligence, rudeness and brutality. Another quote to think about.
Michel Montaigne: “If I were a book writer, I would compile a collection of descriptions of various deaths, providing it with comments. He who teaches people to die teaches them how to live. "
At the end of the lesson, watching an episode from the film adaptation of the novel by I.S. Turgenev (4 series).
Homework: compose a message on the biography and work of F.I. Tyutchev.
