I first read the novel “A Hero of Our Time” a long time ago, when I still knew almost nothing about Lermontov and had not read his poems. Therefore, acquaintance with Pechorin became an impetus for me to study the poet’s work.

The state in which I was after the first reading of “A Hero of Our Time” is difficult to convey. I didn’t understand the thoughts and actions of the characters well, and I almost didn’t remember the plot of the novel. I just discovered an amazing world that is not yet very clear to me. And he captured me completely. Lermontov's world seemed endless: you go further and further, and new, unprecedented horizons open up.

I saw this world through the eyes of Pechorin, felt it with my soul. None of the heroes of previously read books were so close to me or captivated me so much. I fell in love with Pechorin as a living person. I loved Vera, Mary, Werner as Pechorin loved them. She despised Pechorin's world with his contempt. I didn’t blame him for anything, because I understood him and because I loved him for who he was: with all his mistakes, vices and shortcomings. My love absorbed all the bitterness, annoyance, and torment of Pechorin, and they became mine. I suffered because he suffered. But I felt Pechorin’s era in my own way, from the height of my era: what caused Pechorin only boredom and cold contempt aroused anger and indignation in me. Because I couldn’t help Pechorin in any way, this anger sometimes turned into despair.

This is my first impression of Pechorin that has not faded over the years. My attitude towards him has remained the same. It only deepened, with each reading new shades appeared in the perception of the image. Gradually, Pechorin’s thoughts became clearer to me, his actions and relationships with other characters in the novel became clearer. If earlier the novel acted mainly on the feelings, now it provided rich food for the mind.

I was afraid of the time when I would have to study the novel at school. I believe that one cannot speak about Pechorin out loud, discuss his actions, blame or justify him. I was afraid that poetry would perish from the brutal invasion of prosaic, boring analyses.

“A Hero of Our Time” is a diary, a frank confession of a person to himself. Therefore, I believed, the novel, like any diary, cannot be read aloud. Material from the site

But it turned out that “A Hero of Our Time” not only did not fade, but also sparkled with new colors; something was discovered in it that had not been noticed before. He is like a person: the more you get to know him, the more you love him and the better you understand him. I seriously thought about Pechorin’s philosophical thoughts, which reflected his inner world, his subtle perception of nature and people.

Now I still love Pechorin, but now it’s a deeper feeling. Because now I see in the image of Pechorin the features of Lermontov himself. Reading the novel, I hear the music of his poems. I realized that Lermontov’s poetry, he himself and his hero are connected by invisible threads.

My opinion about Pechorin is not final. He remains a mystery to me that can be solved forever. There is a limit to everything, only the human thirst for knowledge is limitless, and I am sure that my recognition of Pechorin will never end.

LESSON 1 The story "BELA".

Screen recording:

Vl. Nabokov builds chronological events and the order of the stories:

1. “Taman” (c. 1830) Pechorin goes from St. Petersburg to the active army and stops in Taman.

2. “Princess Mary” (May 10 – June 17, 1832). Pechorin comes from the active detachment to water in Pyatigorsk and then to Kislovodsk; After a duel with Grushnitsky, he was transferred to the fortress under the command of Maxim Maksimovich.

3. “Fatalist” (December 1832) Pechorin comes from Maxim Maksimovich’s fortress to the Cossack village for two weeks.

4. “Bela” (spring 1833) Pechorin kidnaps the daughter of “Prince Mirnov”, and after 4 months she dies at the hands of Kazbich.

5. “Maxim Maksimych” (autumn 1837) Pechorin goes to Persia, again finds himself in the Caucasus and meets Maxim Maksimych.

QUESTION FOR DISCUSSION: Why didn’t Lermontov build the novel in chronological order, but confused and rearranged everything?

(Answer options are written on the board)

CONCLUSION: This is explained by the author’s attention to the hero’s inner world. The reader is shown first one side or the other of his character, but the character itself does not change, it was formed earlier, and Pechorin himself sometimes explains his actions as “his unfortunate upbringing.”

2 SCREEN RECORDING:

“And maybe I’ll die tomorrow!.. and there won’t be a single creature left on earth who would understand me completely. Some honor me worse, others better than I really do. Some will say: he was a kind fellow, others – a scoundrel!.. Both will be false.”

WHO IS HE – LERMONTOV’S HERO?

Let's turn to the "Preface" test.

What epithets do we find in explaining the purpose of the essay? (evils of a generation, stupid, much more terrible and uglier fictions, bitter medicines, caustic truths, human vices).

What image of the hero is emerging? (this is not a hero in the romantic sense, but a portrait of a generation with its vices, immoral actions, without embellishment, about which Lermontov wrote bitterly in the Duma (SCREEN RECORDING):

I look sadly at our generation!

His future is either empty or dark,

Meanwhile, under the burden of knowledge and doubt,

It will grow old in inaction...

And we hate and we love by chance,

Without sacrificing anything, neither anger nor love,

And some secret cold reigns in the soul,

When fire boils in the blood.

Conclusion:

This contradictory hero, in whom a scoundrel and a good fellow are intertwined, evokes both sadness and regret in the author, because this is his contemporary, which means there is a piece of Lermontov in him; and his fate and his useless life will be repeated many times in future generations: “the bitter mockery of a deceived son over squandered father."

Let's turn to the story "Bela"

Here is staff captain Maxim Maksimovich, during the journey - the ascent to Gud Mountain, the descent to the Devil's Valley, the forced halt in the Ossetian hut, entertaining his companion with a story about his strange colleague, Pechorin.

What surprises and what is incomprehensible to Maxim Maksimovich in Pechorin?

Working with text (quoting, paraphrasing):

His inconsistency: during the hunt everyone will be tired and cold, but he won’t mind. But there is a smell of wind in the room, assuring me that I have a cold. Either he’ll be silent for hours, or he’ll start talking and you’ll tear your stomach.

He retells Pechorin’s explanations of why he quickly gets bored with everything, but explains that all misfortunes come from drunkenness or spoilage: “whatever you have in mind, give it to me, apparently, I was spoiled by my mother as a child.”

Interested in this strange man, we turn to his actions.

How does the hero manifest himself in the story with Bela?

- He liked her immediately when she came up and sang a compliment. 16-year-old, thin, eyes black, like a mountain chamois, and look into your soul. He figured out how to steal it, and he stole it.

To win her over, he showered her with gifts, but quickly realized that he had to appeal to her feelings: “Goodbye...

I’m guilty before you... Maybe I won’t be chasing a bullet for long... then remember me and forgive me.”

He calculated the time when Bela would become his, even argued with Maxim Maksimovich - in a week.

They were happy for a while. But this did not last long. Pechorin became bored with Bela, he began to leave the fortress for a long time.

Bela left the fortress to the river, was captured by Kazbich and mortally wounded. So Kazbich took revenge on Pechorin for the horse. Pechorin amazed Maxim Maksimovich with a strange laugh after Bela’s death, then he was sick for a long time and lost weight.

Did these events and the hero’s actions clarify anything in Pechorin’s character?

- He is a charming person, Maxim Maksimovich fell in love with him as if he were his own son, and Bela fell in love with him.

He is a calculating egoist, a talented scoundrel. He is to blame for the death of Bela and her family. He treated Bela selfishly and inhumanly: he traded her for someone else’s horse.

He suffers and suffers. Bela's death left a long mark on his soul.

When he needs, he uses his methods of charm, and no one can resist him, he has a strong-willed nature, he knows how to play on human strings.

General conclusion: So, judging by the actions told by Maxim Maksimovich, Pechorin is a mysterious, strange, contradictory person. said about him: “In “Bel” he is some kind of mysterious person, as if he appears under a fictitious name so as not to be recognized.”

LESSON 2 .

The story "Maksim Maksimych"

GOAL: To see the hero through the eyes of a psychological narrator, to find confirmation of Maxim Maksimych’s observations and to obtain explanations for some of his contradictions by examining his portrait.

1. Let’s share our thoughts about Pechorin (we read out our homework essays)

3. Working with the text of the chapter.

The meeting with the hero is preceded by a description of the morning. Let’s read it: “The morning was fresh and beautiful. Golden clouds piled up on the mountains, like a new series of aerial mountains...” Against the backdrop of a fresh morning, the long-awaited and impatiently awaited one appears (together with Maxim Maksimych) - He. Perhaps there is some hidden meaning in this?

Yes, he was clearly indifferent to the beauty of the morning: he yawned twice and sat down on the bench on the other side of the gate.

Let's read the portrait of Pechorin and note in it the features of his personality (the ability to endure the difficulties of nomadic life, the habits of a decent person, secrecy of character, nervous weakness, a childish smile, his eyes did not laugh when he laughed - a sign of either an evil disposition or deep constant sadness, look could have seemed impudent if he had not been so indifferently calm).

What immediately catches your eye in Pechorin’s portrait?

Yes, and the portrait emphasizes inconsistency. Let's confirm this with observations: let's make a table of contradictions.

Broad shoulders - Women's hands

Childish smile - Penetrating heavy gaze

Youthful appearance - Wrinkles intersecting one another

Blonde hair - Mustache and eyebrows black

Gait is careless and lazy - Does not swing arms

Strong physique - straight waist bent, as if there was not a single bone, etc.

What in his attitude towards Maxim Maksimych surprised and amazed you?

Indeed, it is so indifferent, cold to meet an old friend, refuse to talk, remember the old life. Belu. Stop! At the name of Bela, Pechorin turned pale and turned away. He didn't forget anything! Can we explain his behavior now?

Yes, he is going to Persia and will never return. Remember, in the fortress he said to Maxim Maksimych: “As soon as possible, I’ll go... to America, to Arabia, to India, and maybe I’ll die somewhere along the way.” Does he care about talking, does he care about memories? Even the diaries are no longer needed - he is breaking ties with everything that was dear...

What is your judgment about Pechorin now? (Strange, sad, lonely, tired, secretive, devastated, indifferent to both the past and the future, surprisingly cute, arousing sympathy and interest)

Write an essay about this.

Audio story "Bela" by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, part 1, in which the author introduces the main characters of the story: Maxim Maksimych, Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin, Azamat, Bela.
“I rode on a crossroads from Tiflis... I entered the Koishaur valley... I had to hire bulls to pull my cart up this damned mountain, because it was already autumn and ice... I hired six bulls and several Ossetians. .. Behind my cart, four oxen were dragging another as if nothing had happened, despite the fact that it was loaded to the brim... Her owner walked behind her, smoking from a small Kabardian pipe, trimmed in silver. He was wearing an officer's frock coat without epaulettes and a Circassian shaggy hat. He seemed to be about fifty years old; his dark complexion showed that it had long been familiar with the Transcaucasian sun, and his prematurely gray mustache did not match his firm gait and cheerful appearance..." This is how Maxim Maksimych first appeared to the narrator.
Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is an officer, a young man of about 25. “...He was so thin, white, his uniform was so brand new. He was a nice guy,... just a little strange. After all, for example, in the rain, in the cold all day long on the hunt; everyone will be cold, tired - but he has nothing to do. And another time he sits in his room, the wind smells, he assures him that he has a cold; he knocks on the shutter, he shudders and turns pale; and with me he went to hunt a wild boar one on one; it happened, You won’t get a word for hours, but sometimes when he starts telling you, you’ll burst your stomach with laughter... and he must be a rich man: how many different expensive things he had!.. There are, really, such people who are born It is written that various extraordinary things should happen to them!..
About six versts from the fortress lived a peaceful prince. His little son, a boy of about 15 years old, got into the habit of visiting us... And what a thug he was, agile at anything you want: raising his hat at full gallop, or shooting from a gun. There was one bad thing about him: he was terribly greedy for money... And sometimes we would try to tease him, and his eyes would become bloodshot, now for a dagger..."
Once the old prince Maxim Maksimych and Pechorin invited him to the wedding of his eldest daughter. Lermontov describes a Circassian wedding. There Pechorin saw Bela, the prince’s youngest daughter and Azamat’s sister. She was about sixteen years old.

An essay on the theme of the image of Pechorin.
1. Introduction: The novel “Hero of Our Time” is the most mature and major work of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, a thoughtful writer-philosopher. The main character of the novel is Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin.
2. Introduction to the character: Pechorin is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a hero who is caring, inquisitive, and wants to take as much as possible from life. At first we do not understand the motives of his actions; we are surprised by the unusual eccentric nature of the young man. Pechorin steals the girl he likes, without thinking about the actions that may follow this act. He sincerely believes that he is in love with the “maiden of the mountains”, that this love will become a saving bridge along which the hero can move into a new life for him, full of meaning. Grigory Alexandrovich soon realizes the futility of hopes: “I was wrong again: the love of a savage is little better than the love of a noble young lady,” he admits.
3. Portrait description: Gradually, in the fight against society, Pechorin loses his activity, becomes an indifferent, cold contemplator. If in the chapter “Taman” Grigory Aleksandrovich is active, even curious, then the chapter “Mary” shows us an already infantile person, floating with the flow, only the departure of Vera (the woman whom he deeply and sincerely loves) for a short time revives in him the desire to radically change own life. We see the hero's despair and tears. We rejoice that the “man” in Pechorin has not died, he is still capable of deeply and sincerely loving. But the impulse ends very quickly. Before us again is a reserved, cold, secretly suffering man. When meeting Pechorin, the narrator is struck by the hero’s eyes: “they didn’t laugh when he laughed!.. This is a sign of either an evil disposition or deep constant sadness... his gaze is short and heavy, leaving behind the unpleasant impression of an indiscreet question and could seem impudent if he were not so indifferently calm.”
4. Character's actions: His fate is tragic. Grigory Pechorin was expelled from St. Petersburg for a certain “story” (obviously, for a duel over a woman) to the Caucasus, several more stories happen to him along the way, he is demoted, goes to the Caucasus again, then travels for some time and, returning home from Persia , dies. During all this time, he experienced a lot himself and influenced the lives of other people in many ways. During his life, Pechorin destroyed many human destinies - Princesses Mary Ligovskaya, Vera, Bela, Grushnitsky.
5. My attitude: I believe that Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is a very bright image created by M.Yu. Lermontov. He is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a caring, inquisitive hero who wants to take as much as possible from life. Pechorin is an adventurer, a man who constantly tests his fate. At first it seems that he is fearless - he rushes into various adventures, plays with death. However, Pechorin has a secret, but very strong fear - he is afraid of marriage. Once a fortune teller predicted his death at the hands of his evil wife, and since then Pechorin has been afraid of marriage like fire. However, this did not save him: in the chapter “Maksim Maksimych” we learn that Grigory Alexandrovich died on the way from Persia. I cannot express my attitude towards Pechorin in just one phrase.
I hope so much is suitable for the essay, but in some places it needs to be corrected. I wish all the best.
