Positive and negative aspects of Oblomov's life table. Positive and negative character traits of Oblomov, his inconsistency in Goncharov's novel

Oblomov's character

Roman I.A. Goncharov "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 well-known literary critics of that era spoke about the novel. Goncharov was able to convey realistically objectively and reliable facts of 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 32-33 years old, of medium 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, fell on half-open lips, hid in the folds of the forehead, then completely disappeared and a careless young man appeared before us. Sometimes boredom or fatigue could be read on his face, but all the same, there was a softness of character in him, the warmth of his soul. Oblomov's whole life is accompanied by three attributes of bourgeois well-being - a sofa, a dressing gown and shoes. At home, Oblomov wore an oriental soft capacious dressing gown. He spent all his free time lying down. Laziness was an integral feature of his character. The cleaning of the house was done superficially, giving the appearance of cobwebs hanging in the corners, although at first glance one might think that it was a well-cleaned room. There were two more rooms in the house, but he did not go there at all. If there was an uncleaned dinner plate with crumbs everywhere, an unsmoked pipe, one would think that the apartment is empty, no one lives in it. He always marveled at his energetic friends. How can you spend your life like that, spraying on dozens of things at once. His financial condition wanted to be the best. Lying on the sofa, Ilya Ilyich always thought of how to fix it.

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

The very character of the hero, according to the writer's intention, is much larger and deeper. Oblomov's dream is the key to the whole novel. The hero moves to another era, to other people. A lot of light, a joyful childhood, gardens, sunny rivers, but first you have to go through obstacles, an endless sea with raging waves, 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, they think so. Goncharov describes these inhabitants: “Everything in the village is quiet and sleepy: the silent huts are wide open; not a soul is visible; only flies fly in clouds and buzz in stuffiness. 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 calmness and imperturbable silence reign. This is a dream within a dream. Everything around seemed to freeze, 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.

In Oblomov's dream, the hero's childhood and upbringing are described. All this helps to know the character of Oblomov. 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 an aimless further existence.

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

Oblomov Roman laziness character

The presented lesson is intended for the 10th grade of a comprehensive school. This is the second lesson in the study of the novel by I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov". The first lesson was devoted to the study of the Flemish craftsmanship of I.A. Goncharov, the objective world in the novel.

Lesson type: art lesson.

Type of lesson: a lesson in in-depth work on the text of the work.

Lesson form: lesson - conversation (with elements of artistic reading, discussion).

The purpose of the lesson: analyze "Oblomov's Dream", revealing those aspects of Oblomov's life that influenced the formation of the hero's dual nature (on the one hand, poetic consciousness, on the other, inactivity, apathy, laziness of life).

Tasks:

1. Cognitive:

• Recall with students the function of sleep in a work of art; give examples of previously studied works in which a dream was present.
• To acquaint students with the compositional feature of using "Oblomov's Dream".
• To identify the positive and negative features of the life of the Oblomovites, which influenced the character of Ilya Ilyich.

• Development of thinking.
• The development of the imagination.
• The development of oral speech.

3. Educational:

• Raising a love for literature lessons.
• Raising interest in Russian traditions, features of the Russian national character.

Equipment: a portrait of I.A. Goncharov, a cassette with excerpts from the film by N. Mikhalkov “Six days in the life of Oblomov”.

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

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 feature 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: Y - teacher's question; y is the student's answer.

U: Let's remember in what works we studied earlier there was a dream?

at: A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" - Tatyana's dream.

with: A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter" - Petrusha Grinev's dream.

at: "Ballads" by V. Zhukovsky.

*U - teacher's question; y is the student's answer.

W: Yes, you are absolutely right. And what, in your opinion, is the function of sleep in these works, why do the authors use them?

y: Through a dream, the features of the inner world of the character are revealed, thoughts, fears of the characters are reflected here, in a distorted form, the future can also be represented in dreams.

U: And let's think about what is the peculiarity of the compositional use of sleep in the novel Oblomov?

u: 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 presented to us, and then only his personality is revealed.

II. Analysis of the work:

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

Artistic reading of the passage by the student:

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

The sky there, it seems, presses closer to the earth, but not in order to throw stronger arrows, but only to hug her tighter, with love: it spreads so low overhead, like a parent’s reliable roof, to protect, it seems, the chosen one corner from any misfortune.

The sun shines brightly and hotly there for about half a year and then leaves from there not suddenly, as if unwillingly, as if turning back to look once or twice at his favorite place and give him in the fall, in the midst of bad weather, a clear, warm day.

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

The river runs merrily, frolicking and playing; it either spills into a wide pond, or aspires with a quick thread, or subsides, as if in thought, and crawls a little over the pebbles, releasing frisky streams from itself on the sides, under the murmur of which it sweetly slumbers.

The whole corner of fifteen or twenty miles around presented a series of picturesque sketches, cheerful, smiling landscapes. The sandy and gently sloping banks of a bright river, a small bush creeping up to the water from a hill, a twisted ravine with a stream at the bottom, and a birch grove - everything seemed to be deliberately tidied up one to one and masterfully drawn.

Exhausted by worries or not at all familiar with them, the heart asks to hide in this corner forgotten by everyone and live in happiness unknown to anyone. Everything promises there a calm, long-term life to the yellowness of the hair and an imperceptible, sleep-like death.

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

U: Make a conclusion about what this place was in Oblomov's life.

Y: 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 it is presented in the description.

In order to recall the key aspects of the life of the Oblomovites, we will watch excerpts 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 - 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?”

Viewing episodes from the movie:

1. Ilyusha's curiosity.
2. Mismanagement of the Oblomovites.
3. A comprehensive sleep like death.
4. Repetitive, fruitless evenings. A unifying beginning in laughter.
5. Prayer.

A discussion between two groups of students. The results of the discussion are drawn up in notebooks and on the board in the form of the following table.

"+" Oblomov life	"-" Oblomov life
Picture of the world
1. The unity of people with nature, nature is anthropomorphic, a person has no fear of it. 2. The unity of people with each other, the love of parents for Ilyusha.	1. Oblomovka's isolation from the outside world, even the Oblomovites' fear of it (the story of the ravine, the gallery; there is no calendar in Oblomovka; fear of writing).
Philosophy of life.
1. A measured, calm life, where, as in nature, there are no cataclysms. Death, which comes imperceptibly, is also perceived as a natural process. 2. There is no place for evil in Oblomovka, the biggest evil is "stealing peas in the gardens."	1. Report of the student "Oblomov's daily routine." It shows that life is a mechanical repetition of food and sleep (equal to death), empty evenings and fruitless conversations. 2. Details that violate the measured life of the Oblomovites (the staggering porch, the hut of Onisim Suslov, the collapsed gallery). All this shows the inability of the Oblomovites to work, their attitude to work as a punishment, their hope in everything for “maybe”.
Child education
1. Mother's love. 2. Formation of a poetic spirituality in a child with the help of fairy tales, folklore.	1. Excessive love, leading to a fence 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. 3. Oblomov's upbringing "in Oblomov's way"

Teacher's word: So, we have reflected in our table the opposite sides of Oblomovka's life. And most often, the hero of the novel himself was evaluated, only taking into account one side that influenced his life. Here are two statements by critics, what 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, which comes 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 illnesses ... He is not infected with worldly debauchery. A child by nature and by the conditions of his development, Ilya Ilyich in many ways left behind the purity and simplicity of a child, which put 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 are 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 bidirectional nature of Oblomov's essence. (For example, "Oblomov's dream is 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 dwelling bears little resemblance to habitation.

From early childhood, he saw a similar example among his relatives, who also fenced themselves off from the outside world and protected it. It was not accepted to work in his native house. When he was still a child, he played snowballs with peasant children, then he was then warmed 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 happily recalls his childhood. He idolizes the nature of Oblomovka, although this is an ordinary village, nothing particularly remarkable. He was brought up by rural nature. This nature instilled in him poetry and a love of beauty.

Ilya Ilyich does nothing, only 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 talk about their lives, he feels that in the hustle and bustle of life they forget that they are wasting their lives in vain ... And he does not need to fuss, act, do 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 couch, he is natural. It looks at ease - this is his element, his nature.

Let's summarize what we've read:

1. Appearance of Ilya Oblomov. Ilya Ilyich is a young man, 33 years old, of good appearance, of medium height, overweight. The softness of his expression betrayed in him a weak and lazy person.
2. Family status. At the beginning of the novel, Oblomov is unmarried, lives with his servant Zakhar. At the end of the novel, he marries and is happily married.
3. Description of the dwelling. Ilya lives in St. Petersburg in an apartment on Gorokhovaya Street. The apartment is neglected, the servant Zakhar rarely sneaks into it, who is as lazy as the owner. The sofa occupies a special place in the apartment, on which Oblomov lies around the clock.
4. Behavior, 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. The protagonist lies on the couch and only dreams that he will soon get up and go about his business. He cannot solve even the most pressing problems. His estate has fallen into disrepair and does not bring money, so Oblomov even has nothing to pay for the apartment.
5. The attitude of the author to the hero. Goncharov sympathizes with Oblomov, he considers him a kind, sincere person. At the same time, he sympathizes with him: it is a pity that a young, capable, not stupid person has lost all interest in life.
6. My attitude to Ilya Oblomov. In my opinion, he is too lazy and weak-willed, so he cannot command respect. Sometimes he just infuriates me, I want to come up and shake him. I don't like people who live their lives like that. Perhaps I react so strongly to this character because I feel the same shortcomings in myself.

The central character of I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, a gentleman “thirty-two years old”. The work is dedicated to the disclosure of his life philosophy, way of existence, his psychology.
The main character traits of Oblomov are apathy, laziness, inactivity. He lies on the couch all day, absolutely not interested in anything. But this state of affairs does not bother the hero at all: everything suits him in this existence: “Ilya Ilyich’s lying down was neither a necessity, ... nor an accident ...: it was his normal state.” On the contrary, Oblomov’s discomfort is caused by annoying “touches of life”.
However, this hero has his own dreams. In the chapter "Oblomov's Dream" the author describes them to us quite clearly. We see that native Oblomovka brought up in Ilya Ilyich a love for home comfort, peace and quiet: "Happy people lived, thinking that it should not and cannot be otherwise."

r /> Love, care, warmth and affection were vital for this person. Let's remember his dreams about his family life. Oblomov dreamed of a wife-mother, a wife-mistress, and not a passionate mistress: “Yes, passion must be limited, strangled and drowned in marriage ...” He imagined a very warm pastime - in a peaceful circle of family and loving friends. Here, conversations would be held about art, about events taking place in the world, etc.
It is the need for such a life - where everyone loves each other, is satisfied with each other and with themselves - and is, it seems to me, Oblomov's life ideal. It was for this that Olga Ilyinskaya called the hero a “heart of gold”, because he knew how not only to take love, but also generously give it, share it.
Of course, Oblomovka cultivated in her Ilyusha not only this. She brought up in him a fear of life, and indecision, and laziness, and helplessness, and snobbery. And besides, it was a completely distorted idea of ​​​​adult life.
All this - both positive and negative - manifested itself in the life of the hero later. We know that in his youth, Oblomov, supported by Stolz, dreamed of improving himself, changing himself and the world around him. However, if Stolz began to realize his dreams, then Oblomov's words remained only words.
Arriving in St. Petersburg, the hero gradually became disillusioned with the service (“When will you live?”), Moved away from all affairs and lay down on the sofa. Somehow, imperceptibly, Oblomov lost almost all of his acquaintances, because in order to maintain communication, you need to make some effort. And it was absolutely unbearable for the hero.
Only once Ilya Ilyich perked up and began to change - falling in love with Olga Ilyinskaya.
r /> Then the hero was ready to do whatever his beloved wants. Ilya Ilyich really began to change - he forced himself to be interested in the life around him, move more, eat less. But in this story, Oblomov's uncertainty, his fear of change, played a tragic role. At one fine moment, he felt that he was not worthy of Olga, and wrote a letter to the girl with explanations: “Listen, without any hints, I will say directly and simply: you do not love me and cannot love me.”
After that, Oblomov's life went on as usual - he continued to lie in seclusion, communicating only with Zakhar and occasionally with Stolz.

Composition Oblomov's character traits reasoning

Goncharov's novel "Oblomov" was written in the middle of the nineteenth century and accurately described a bright representative of the noble society, who has a consumer attitude towards life and the people around him, cannot find application for his knowledge and abilities. This is the fruit of upbringing, accustomed from generation to generation to use slave labor, to live at the expense of another person.

The main character of the novel is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. He repeats not only the name of his father, but also his habits and way of life. The life test for Oblomov was his studies at the boarding school. He studied well, but he was more happy when his parents, having come up with dozens of reasons, left him at home. After graduating from a boarding school, and then in Moscow, Ilya Ilyich enters the service. But even there he cannot hold out for more than two years. He is bored and not interested in doing any work.

He justifies his passivity by the fact that he has big plans for the future. Lying on the couch, he ponders a plan to rebuild the estate. But things do not go beyond dreams. And even his friend Andrey Stolz cannot stir him up. Going abroad on business, Andrei introduces Oblomov to Olga Ilyinskaya. But this acquaintance revived Oblomov's life only for a short time. Kind and honest by nature, Ilya Ilyich suddenly realizes that he cannot make Olga happy, that their views on life are very different.

He wants a calm, measured life, without difficulties and upheavals, to be surrounded by kind and loving people. The mistress of the house where he rented an apartment, the widow of Pshenitsyn, was able to provide him with such a life. Over time, she became his wife, the mother of his son, was for him a nurse, a guardian angel. Even Stolz, having come to Oblomov, realized that he could not change the life of a friend.

After the death of Oblomov, Stolz told the writer about his fate. He wanted readers to appreciate his pure soul and constant struggle with himself and the life around him.

1. Introduction
2. Conclusion

Introduction

Goncharov's novel "Oblomov" was written during the transition of Russian society from outdated, house-building traditions and values ​​to new, enlightening views and ideas. This process became the most difficult and difficult for representatives of the landlord 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 a part of society easily adapted to the renewed circumstances, then for others the process of transition turned out to be very difficult, since it was essentially opposed to the usual way of life of their parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is the representative of just such landlords, who failed to change along with the world, adapting to it. 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 upbringing, which shaped many of Oblomov's main character traits - lack of will, apathy, lack of initiative, laziness, unwillingness to work and the expectation that someone will do everything for him.
Excessive guardianship of parents, constant prohibitions, the calmingly 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 insignificant 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 outside - Zakhar, who will bring him food or clothes, Stolz, who can solve problems in Oblomovka, Tarantiev, who, although he will deceive, will figure out the situation of interest to 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 invented by him. Spending all his days lying on the couch, Oblomov makes unrealizable 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 draws for himself are echoes of a distant past that can no longer be returned.

It would seem that a lazy, lumberjack hero living in an untidy apartment cannot arouse sympathy and disposition in the reader, especially against the background of an active, active, purposeful friend of Ilya Ilyich - Stolz. However, the true essence of Oblomov is revealed gradually, which allows you to see all the versatility and inner unrealized potential of the hero. Even as a child, surrounded by quiet nature, care and control of his parents, subtly feeling, dreamy Ilya was deprived of the most important thing - the knowledge of the world through its opposites - beauty and ugliness, victories and defeats, the need to do something and the joy of gaining one's own work.
From an early age, the hero had everything he needed - helpful courtyards carried out orders at the first call, and parents spoiled their son in every possible way. Once outside the parental nest, Oblomov, not ready for the real world, continues to expect that everyone around him will treat him as warmly and affably 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 himself. 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.

The positive side of Oblomov's character

The person who could pull Oblomov out of this passive state, leading to the degradation of the personality, was Andrei Ivanovich Stolz. Perhaps, Stolz is the only character in the novel who thoroughly saw not only negative, but also positive features of Oblomov: sincerity, kindness, the ability to feel and understand the problems of another person, inner peace and simplicity. It was to Ilya Ilyich that Stoltz came in difficult moments when he needed support and understanding. Pigeon tenderness, sensuality and sincerity of Oblomov are revealed during the 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's values ​​- this betrays a subtle psychologist in him. Oblomov is ready to give up his own love, as he understands that he will not be able to give Olga the happiness she dreams of.

The character and fate of Oblomov are closely related - his lack of will, inability to fight for his happiness, along with spiritual kindness and gentleness, lead to tragic consequences - fear of difficulties and sorrows of reality, as well as the hero’s complete departure into a 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 which the nanny told the hero in childhood. Like the character of a fairy tale, Oblomov believes in a miracle that should happen to him by itself: a benevolent firebird or a kind sorceress will appear who will take him to the wonderful world of honey and milk rivers. And the chosen one of the sorceress should not be a bright, hardworking, active hero, but always “quiet, harmless”, “some kind of lazy person whom everyone offends”.

Unquestioning faith in a miracle, in a fairy tale, in the possibility of the impossible is the main feature not only of Ilya Ilyich, but also of any Russian person brought up on folk tales and legends. Falling on fertile ground, this belief becomes the basis of a person’s life, replacing reality with an illusion, as happened with Ilya Ilyich: “he had a fairy tale mixed with life, and sometimes he unconsciously feels sad, why a fairy tale is not life, and life is not a fairy tale.”

At the end of the novel, Oblomov, it would seem, finds that "Oblomov" happiness that he had long dreamed of - a calm, monotonous life without stress, a caring kind wife, an arranged 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 a woman who adores him. In fairy tales, the hero must pass three trials, after which he will expect the fulfillment of all desires, otherwise the hero will die. Ilya Ilyich does not pass a single test, first succumbing to failure in the service, and then to the need to change for Olga. Describing Oblomov's life, the author seems to be ironic 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 sides, allow us to see in Ilya Ilyich the eternal image of an unrealized personality "out of his time" - an "extra person" who failed to find his own place in real life, and therefore left into the world of illusions. However, the reason for this, as Goncharov emphasizes, is not in a fatal combination of circumstances or the difficult fate of the hero, but in the wrong upbringing of Oblomov, who is sensitive and gentle in character. Grown as a "houseplant", Ilya Ilyich turned out to be unadapted to a reality that was hard enough for his refined nature, replacing it with the world of his own dreams.
