Conclusion (your attitude to the work)

These three days of complete, absolute freedom allowed Mtsyri to get to know himself. He remembered his childhood: suddenly pictures of infancy opened up to him, his homeland came to life in his memory: And I remembered my father’s house, our gorge and the aul scattered around in the shadows... He saw the “like living” faces of his parents, sisters, fellow villagers... Mtsyri lived the entire life. He was a child in his parents' home, a dearly loved son and brother; he was a warrior and a hunter, fighting with a leopard; was a timid young man in love, looking in delight at the “Maiden of the Mountains.” He was in everything a true son of his land and his people: ... yes, the hand of fate led me in a different way... But now I am sure that I could have been in the land of my fathers, Not one of the last daredevils. In three days in freedom, Mtsyri received an answer to a question that had long tormented him: To find out if the earth is beautiful, To find out whether we were born into this world for freedom or prison. Yes, the world is beautiful! This is the meaning of the young man’s story about what he saw. His monologue is a hymn to a world full of colors and sounds, joy. When Mtsyri talks about nature, the thought of will does not leave him: everyone in this natural world exists freely, no one suppresses the other: gardens bloom, streams make noise, birds sing, etc. This confirms the hero in the thought that man is also born for will, without which there can be neither happiness nor life itself. Lermontov "Mtsyri" - essay "Three days in freedom"

In freedom, Mtsyri’s love for his homeland was revealed with renewed vigor. The “vague longing” for her that he experienced in the monastery turned into a passionate dream of “going to his native country.” View Caucasus mountains vividly reminded him of his native village and those who lived there. It is interesting that in Mtsyri’s memories of his homeland, the image of an armed highlander, ready to fight, inevitably appears. He remembers “the shine of long daggers set in scabbards,” “the ring of chain mail and the shine of a gun.” For the young man, love for his homeland merged with the desire for freedom. And if in the monastery Mtsyri only languished with the desire for freedom, then in freedom he learned the “bliss of freedom” and became stronger in his thirst for earthly happiness. He says to the monk: ... in a few minutes Between the steep and dark rocks, Where I played as a child, I exchanged paradise and eternity... These words of Mtsyri may seem ordinary. But what courage, what a challenge to church morality with its hypocritical “heavenly happiness” sounded in these words in those years when the poem was written! After being free for three days, Mtsyri learned that he was brave and fearless. The thunderstorm inspires him not with horror, but with pleasure; fear does not grip his soul when he sees a snake and hears the cry of a jackal; he is not afraid to fall off a cliff, because - ... free youth is strong, And death seemed not scary! Fearlessness, contempt for death and passionate love of life, thirst for fight and readiness for it are especially clearly revealed in the battle with the leopard. In this battle, Mtsyri forgets about everything, obeying only one desire - to survive, to win! Mortal danger gives rise not to fear, but to courage, and he “blazes” and revels in the struggle. There is a lot of conditionality in the description of Mtsyri’s fight with the leopard, which can partly be explained by the connection of the episode with the traditions of Khevsur and Georgian folklore used by Lermontov, and partly by the romantic nature of the poem. Conventional, “romantic” the leopard is “an eternal guest of the desert.” All the signs drawn in it can be common to any other predator. They do not give rise to the idea of a single image, but conjure up a vivid image of a predator in general, with a “bloody gaze,” a “mad leap,” and “menacingly” shining pupils. It is characteristic that all epithets describing the leopard are of an emotional nature. The battle with a formidable predator is also “romantic”: a man armed with a branch defeats a bloody beast, but it contains the true truth of art, and the reader believes in Mtsyri’s victory. The fiery character of the hero is revealed here in action, the thirst for struggle that burned him finds a way out, and we see that the young man, not only in his dreams, is ready for a life “full of anxiety.” The fight with the leopard gives Mtsyri the opportunity to make sure that he “could not have been one of the last daredevils in the land of his fathers.” Mtsyri is a brave fighter who wins in an open battle, he has no contempt for the enemy or gloating; on the contrary, the courage of the enemy evokes his respect, giving rise to wonderful words about the leopard: But with the triumphant enemy He met death face to face, As a fighter should in battle! Mtsyri’s “fiery passion” - love for his homeland - makes him purposeful and firm. He refuses the possible happiness of love, overcomes the suffering of hunger, and in a desperate impulse tries to make his way through the forest for the sake of the goal - “to go to his native country.” The death of this dream gives rise to despair in him, but even in despair Mtsyri turns out to be not weak and defenseless, but a proud and courageous person, rejecting pity and compassion. . . . believe me, I didn’t want human help... I was a stranger to them forever, like a steppe beast; And if even a minute's scream had changed me, I swear, old man, I would have torn out my weak tongue. Mtsyri is hardy. In the monastery, experiencing a painful illness, he did not utter a single groan. In his wanderings, where he had to experience a lot, this endurance manifested itself with renewed vigor. Tormented by the leopard, he forgets about his wounds and, “gathering the rest of his strength,” again tries to leave the forest. The poem helps to understand Mtsyri as a courageous, fearless, strong and proud hero. The form of the poem and its verse are subordinated to the creation of such an image. It is written in iambic tetrameter, which has a unique sound. Its rhythmic structure from beginning to end (except for the “Song of the Fish”) is equally energetic, slightly abrupt. The verse turns out to be elastic, firstly, due to the rare omission of stress in the verse; lines and, secondly, because of the male rhymes. The method of rhyming in “Mtsyri” does not obey a strict system, the number of poetic lines in stanzas is not stable, but nevertheless the poem seems surprisingly harmonious and whole precisely thanks to the same rhythm and masculine rhyming. This unity of verse structure well conveys the concentration and passion in character

If Mtsyri had a hard time in the monastery, then Lermontov had a hard time in secular society. Lermontov's father was a poor military man.

DURING THE CLASSES

IStudent survey.

·How did Mtsyri live in the monastery?

·The character and dreams of a young novice.

Teacher's comment.

Lermontov does not give detailed description monastic life of Mtsyri. Monastic life meant, first of all, withdrawal from people, from the world, complete renunciation of one’s own personality, “service to God,” expressed in monotonously alternating fasts and prayers. The main condition of life in a monastery is obedience. Anyone who has taken the monastic vow finds himself forever cut off from human society; the monk's return to life was prohibited.

For the hero, the monastery is a symbol of bondage, a prison with gloomy walls, “stuffy cells.” To remain in the monastery meant for him to forever renounce his homeland and freedom, to be doomed to eternal slavery and loneliness (“to be a slave and an orphan”). The author does not reveal the character of the boy who ended up in the monastery: he only depicts his physical weakness and timidity, then gives a few touches of his behavior, and the personality of the captive highlander emerges clearly. He is hardy (“He languished without complaint - not even a faint moan escaped from his children’s lips”), proud, distrustful, because he sees his enemies in the monks around him; from a very early age he is familiar with the unchildish feelings of loneliness and melancholy. There is also a direct author’s assessment of the boy’s behavior, which enhances the impression - Lermontov speaks of his powerful spirit, inherited from his fathers.

·What is the purpose of the escape? What does it mean for Mtsyri to be free? Find the answers in the text.

A) I had a plan a long time ago B) I lived little, and lived in captivity,

Look at the distant fields, Such are two lives in one,

To find out if the earth is beautiful, but only full of worries,

Find out, for freedom or prison, I would trade it if I could.

We were born into this world.

B) My flaming chest D) ...I have one goal

Press another with longing to your chest, go to your native country
Although not familiar, but dear. Had it in my soul.

We conclude:

Mtsyri’s idea of freedom is associated with the dream of returning to his homeland. To be free means for him to escape from monastic captivity and return to his native village, to escape from a “stranger’s family.” While living in the monastery, the young man did not stop seeing “living dreams”:

About dear loved ones and relatives,

About the wild will of the steppes,

About light, mad horses,

About alien battles between the rocks...

The image of an unknown but desired “wonderful world of anxiety and battle” constantly lived in his soul.

IIWork on the image of Mtsyri.

1 The teacher's word.

The poem is romantic. His hero is not like the people around him, he denies their life values, strives for something different. Prove this idea with lines from Mtsyri’s confession.

I knew only the power of thoughts,

One, but fiery passion:

She lived inside me like a worm,

She tore her soul and burned it.

She called my dreams

From stuffy cells and prayers

In that wonderful world of anxiety of battles.

The main passion of the hero is the desire to live fully, in a world of struggle and freedom, outside the walls of the monastery, in his distant beloved homeland.

2 Working with text.

What did Mtsyri see and learn about life during his wanderings?

The answer is in chapter 6, half 9, 10, 11.

We conclude:

Mtsyri's personality and character are reflected in what pictures attract him and how he talks about them. He is struck by the richness and diversity of nature, contrasting with the monotonous monastery setting. And in the close attention with which the hero looks at the world, one can feel his love for life, for everything beautiful in it, sympathy for all living things.

In romantic fiction, an exceptional hero acts in exceptional circumstances. Re-read the passage from chapter 6. Prove that the poet painted a romantic landscape.

(From the words “I saw piles of dark rocks” to the words “In the snow, burning like diamond, the gray, unshakable Caucasus.”)

This landscape, of course, can be called romantic, because every detail of it is unusual, exotic - “mountain ranges, as bizarre as dreams,” smoke at dawn; along the banks of a mountain stream there are “piles of dark rocks”, snowy mountain peaks are hidden in the clouds.

At the beginning of the lesson we talked about Mtsyri, a prisoner who lived in a monastery. Even then he was a strong, proud young man, obsessed with a “fiery passion” - love for his homeland and freedom. But it is important to note that then, in the monastery, he himself did not know much about himself, because only real life tests a person and shows what he is.

What did Mtsyri learn about himself when he found himself free?

In freedom, Mtsyri’s love for his homeland was revealed with renewed vigor, which for the young man merged with the desire for freedom. If in the monastery the hero only languished with the desire for freedom, then in freedom he learned the “bliss of freedom” and became stronger in his thirst for earthly happiness. After being free for three days, Mtsyri learned that he was brave and fearless. Fearlessness, contempt for death and passionate love of life, thirst for fight and readiness for it are revealed in the battle with the leopard. Mtsyri’s “fiery passion” - love for his homeland - makes him purposeful and firm. He refuses possible happiness and love, overcomes the suffering of hunger, and in a desperate impulse tries through the forest for the purpose of “getting to his native country.” The death of this dream gives rise to despair in him, but in a desperate impulse Mtsyri appears not weak and defenseless, but a proud and brave man who rejected pity and compassion. Mtsyri is hardy. Tormented by the leopard, he forgets about his wounds and, gathering the rest of his strength, again tries to leave the forest.

What artistic means does the poet use when drawing his hero? Give examples.

Hyperboles : Oh, I'm like a brother,

I would be glad to embrace the storm!

I watched with the eyes of a cloud,

I caught lightning with my hand...

Metaphors : I am this passion in the darkness of the night

Nourished with tears and melancholy,

I gnawed at the damp breast of the earth...

Comparisons: I myself, like an animal, was alien to people,

Crawled and hid like a snake.

Detailed comparisons of Mtsyri with a horse and a greenhouse flower.

Epithets: But free youth is strong

And death seemed not scary.

IIIFeatures of Mtsyri as a romantic poem.

Where does the poem take place?

In the Caucasus, among the free and powerful Caucasian nature, kindred to the hero’s soul. But the hero languishes in the monastery.

Landscape paintings, mentions of wind, storm, birds, and animals are very important in the poem. What is the role of nature paintings in works?

They are related to the hero, and the call of freedom turns out to be irresistible, like the call of nature - a fish sings a love song to him, “like a brother” he is ready to embrace the storm, “like a beast” he is alien to people. And, on the contrary, nature is alien and hostile to the monks of the monastery: Mtsyri runs away “... at the hour of the night, a terrible hour, when the thunderstorm frightened you, when, crowded at the altar, you lay prostrate on the ground.”

The plot of the poem seems to be the usual romanticism - the hero, a seeker of freedom, escapes from the world of bondage. We will encounter such a situation in Prisoner of the Caucasus and Gypsies. But there is a twist in Lermontov’s poem that radically changes the traditional situation. The prisoner and Aleko break ties with their usual surroundings and go into a foreign, exotic world of freedom (to the Caucasus, among the gypsies), while Mtsyri flees from the foreign world forcibly imposed on him into the native, natural world.

Why do you think the poet changes the traditional situation?

Lermontov embodied in Mtsyri the passionate dream of a hero, a proud, free and strong man opposing his “shamefully indifferent” contemporaries, for whom “freedom” and “homeland” mean the same thing. A person must choose his own path - this is the poet’s credo.

Why did Lermontov choose the form of confession?

It helps the poet psychologically plausibly reveal Mtsyri’s inner world in a system of images and experiences. To understand Mtsyri’s character, you need to experience everything with him: monastic captivity, the joy of freedom, the rapture of fighting a leopard, the despair of not getting to his native country; hopelessness when he returns to his prison. Mtsyri's confession occupies almost the entire text space of the poem (it is only interrupted by a brief author's note) and is addressed to a specific character - an old monk, whom Mtsyri first calls in an aloof and hostile manner "old man", then in a Christian way - "father". The author's point of view on what is happening is not presented; it disappears after a short exposition. The old monk does not utter a word in response to Mtsyri’s confession. Thus, the reader sees everything that happens to the hero only through his eyes, which contributes to the subjectivity characteristic of a romantic narrative. Confession is an important plot-forming element.

Conclusions:

1. Lermontov’s romanticism was not a departure from the modernity surrounding him, but, on the contrary, meant a thirst for its change and was an expression of the advanced ideals of the time.

2. The pathos of the romantic poem “Mtsyri” was the affirmation of the need for freedom for humans and the denial of slavery and humility.

3. At the center of the poem “Mtsyri” is not a complete individualist, but a strong man thirsting for happiness and life.

4. The poet praises not so much the hero himself as his ideals.

5. Both the character of the hero and the setting of the action were exceptional and at the same time artistically truthful.
