In the poem, Lermontov develops the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bcourage and protest, laid down earlier in other works. But in this poem, the author almost excludes the love motive, which previously played a significant role. This motif was reflected in a brief meeting between Mtsyri and a Georgian woman near a mountain stream. The hero, defeating the involuntary impulse of a young heart, renounces personal happiness in the name of freedom. The patriotic idea is combined in the poem with the theme of freedom. Lermontov does not share these concepts. His love for the motherland and the thirst for will merge into one passion.

The monastery becomes a prison for Mtsyri, the cells seem stuffy to him, the walls are gloomy and deaf, the guards-monks are cowardly and miserable, but he himself feels like a slave and a prisoner. His desire to learn a lot about the world, for which he was born into the world, is due to a passionate impulse for freedom. Only outside the monastery did Mtsyri live, only outside the monastery was he free. Only these days he calls bliss.

Mtsyri's courage and steadfastness are shown in his battle with the leopard. He was not afraid of death, because he knew: returning to the monastery is a continuation of the previous suffering. The tragic ending does not weaken his spirit, the power of his love of freedom. The old monk's admonitions do not make him repent. Even now he would have exchanged heavenly pleasure for a few minutes of freedom, for a few minutes of life among loved ones.

Defeated, he is not spiritually broken and remains a positive image of our literature, and his courage and heroism, fortitude and integrity were a reproach to the fragmented hearts of timid and inactive contemporaries.

Lermontov's poem continues the traditions of advanced romanticism. Mtsyri, full of fiery passions, gloomy and lonely, revealing his soul in a confessional story, is perceived as a hero of romantic poems. However, Lermontov, who created "Mtsyri" in those years when the realistic novel "A Hero of Our Time" was also being created, introduces such features into this work that are not in his earlier poems. If the past of the heroes of "Confession" and "Boyarin Orsha" remains completely unknown and we do not know the social conditions that shaped their characters, then the lines about Mtsyra's unhappy childhood and adolescence help to better understand the feelings and thoughts of the hero. The very form of confession, characteristic of romantic poems, is associated with the desire to reveal more deeply - to tell the soul. This psychologism of the work, the detailing of the hero's experiences are natural for the poet, who at the same time created a socio-psychological novel.

The combination of many metaphors of a romantic nature in the confession itself (images of fire, fieryness) with a realistically accurate and poetically sparse opening speech ("Once upon a Russian general ...") is expressive. Romantic in form, the poem testified to the growth of realistic tendencies in Lermontov's work.

Romantic symbolism in the work "Mtsyri"

The theme of the path receives special development in the work "Mtsyri", written in 1839. The central event in the poem is the escape of the protagonist, Mtsyri, from the monastery, or rather the story about it. The motive of the path in this work is associated with freedom, the loss of which is equated with the loss of the life path, the meaning of life.

I ran for a long time - where, where?

Don't know! not a single star

Didn't light up the hard way.

I had fun breathing...

Another romantic symbol appears in this work - fire. Fire symbolizes purification, renewal of life, strength, energy, passion. The flame is a typical symbolic representation of the heart. Fire is the basis of the image of Mtsyri, this is his love, thoughts of freedom (the hero who grew up in the walls of the monastery remains full of the fire of struggle), even illness and quick death. Mtsyri sees fire, life is only outside the monastery. The "favorite ideal" of the poet is close to the personality of Lermontov himself. He, like Mtsyri, is characterized by a "fiery passion" for freedom, a desire for action, "struggle". The emotional, agitated speech of Mtsyri expresses with extraordinary force his ardent, freedom-loving nature, elevates his moods and feelings.

Then, without wasting empty tears,

In my heart I swore an oath:

Though for a moment someday

my burning chest

Press with longing to the chest of another,

Though unfamiliar, but native.

Alas! now those dreams

Died in full beauty

And how I lived, in a foreign land

I will die a slave and an orphan.

In the poetics of "Mtsyri" the author also uses other images-symbols characteristic of a romantic work: storms, martial arts, memories, pictures of nature. Natural in such a work are representatives of flora and fauna that come into contact with the hero.

Do you want to know what I saw

At will? - lush fields,

Crowned hills

Trees growing all around

Noisy fresh crowd,

Like brothers in a circular dance.

I saw heaps of dark rocks

When the stream separated them.

And I guessed their thoughts:

It was given to me from above!

Lermontov tried to emphasize the great symbolic significance of the fate of Mtsyri: the hero of the poem has no name, his fate is the generalized fate of a romantic stranger and prisoner, and not a presentation of a story based on the biography of a specific person who is a prototype. One manuscript of the poem has survived - an authorized copy, part of which is an autograph. Title and date: ""Bary". Poem. 1839. The note says: "Bary - in Georgian - a monk." Lermontov refused this name and, having included the poem in the collection "Poems", entitled it "Mtsyri" (in note explained that in Georgian it means “non-serving monk, novice”) In Georgian it means not only “novice”, but also “newcomer”, “foreigner”, a lonely person who does not have relatives and friends.

A capacious symbol is nature in the poem "Mtsyri": this is the world in which the romantic hero sees a semblance of an ideal world of "alarms and battles" created by him in his soul. Nature is the goal and meaning of his flight from the monastery, the "homeland" where he dreams of returning. But nature also becomes a formidable rival for Mtsyra: the leopard, with whom the hero fought, is not just a strong and beautiful beast, it is a symbol of the brute force of nature, its hostility to man. The fight with the leopard is symbolic: it became a duel between the matter of nature, embodied in the leopard, and the unbending, proud human spirit, embodied in Mtsyri.

I was waiting. And in the shadow of the night

He sensed the enemy, and howl

Drawling, plaintive like a groan

There was suddenly ... and he began

Angrily paw dig sand,

He stood on his hind legs, then lay down,

And the first crazy jump

I was threatened with a terrible death ...

But I warned him.

My blow was true and fast.

My reliable bitch is like an axe,

His wide forehead was cut ...

He groaned like a man

And capsized. But again

Although blood poured from the wound

Thick, wide wave,

The battle has begun, the deadly battle!

But the main symbol of the poem "Mtsyri" is the symbol of captivity - the monastery (in the lyrics it corresponds to a prison).

I'm stamped with my prison

Left ... Such is the flower

Dungeon: grew up alone

And he is pale between the damp plates,

And long leaves young

Not dismissed, everything is waiting for the rays

Life-giving. And many days

Gone, and a good hand

Sadness touched the flower,

And he was transferred to the garden,

In the neighborhood of roses. From all sides

Breathe the sweetness of life...

But what? As soon as dawn came

A scorching ray burned her

A flower bred in prison...

It is important to note that the action of many of the poet's works takes place in or near monasteries. But the romantic hero of Lermontov leaves the world for the sake of himself, his desires, obeying his own passions, while the novice sacrifices everything for the sake of God. That is why the heroes of Mikhail Yuryevich's poems have a negative attitude towards monasteries, as the antipode of freedom, will, and happiness.

Romantic in form, the poem testified to the growth of realistic tendencies in Lermontov's work.

For the hero, the monastery is a symbol of bondage, a prison with gloomy walls and "stuffy cells." Staying in the monastery meant for him to forever abandon his homeland and freedom, to be doomed to eternal slavery and loneliness. The author does not reveal the character of the boy, but gives only a few strokes of his behavior, and the personality of the captive - the highlander emerges clearly. He is hardy, proud, distrustful, because he sees his enemies in the surrounding monks. From an early age, he is familiar with unchildish feelings of loneliness and longing. The author's direct assessment of the boy's behavior is contained in Lermontov's words about the mighty spirit of the young captive inherited from his fathers. EXAMPLE!!!

Which of the interpretations of this word most accurately defines the character of the hero? Mtsyri is a person who lives not according to the far-fetched laws of the state that suppress human freedom, but according to the natural laws of nature, which allows the individual to open up and realize his aspirations. But the hero is forced to live in captivity, within the walls of a monastery alien to him.

What was the purpose of Mtsyra's escape? What does it mean for Mtsyra to be free? The idea of ​​freedom is associated with Mtsyra's dream of returning to his homeland. To be free means for him to escape from the monastic captivity and return to his native village. The image of an unknown, but desired "wonderful world of worries and battles" constantly lived in his soul.

What episodes of Mtsyra's three-day wanderings do you consider especially important? Why? The personality of Mtsyri, his character is revealed in what pictures attract the hero, and how he talks about them. He is struck by the richness and brightness of nature, which contrasts sharply with the monotony of monastic existence. And in the close attention with which the hero looks at the world around him, one can feel his love for life, the desire for everything beautiful in it, sympathy for all living things.

What did Mtsyri know when he was free? At liberty, Mtsyri's love for his homeland was revealed with renewed vigor, which merged for the young man with the desire for liberty. In freedom, he knew the "bliss of liberty" and strengthened in his thirst for earthly happiness. After living three days outside the walls of the monastery, Mtsyri realized that he was brave and fearless. "Fiery passion" Mtsyri - love for the motherland - makes him purposeful and firm.

What does it mean to live for a hero? To be in constant search, anxiety, to fight and win, and most importantly, to experience the bliss of the "liberty of the saint" - in these experiences, the fiery character of Mtsyri is very clearly revealed. Only real life tests a person and shows what he is capable of.

Did Mtsyri find the answer to the question: “Is the earth beautiful”? Why does a person live on earth? Mtsyri saw nature in its diversity, felt its life, experienced the joy of communicating with it. Yes, the world is beautiful! - this is the meaning of Mtsyri's story about what he saw. His monologue is a hymn to this world. And the fact that the world is beautiful, full of colors and sounds, full of joy, gives the hero an answer to the second question: why was man created, why does he live? Man is born for free will, not for prison.

Why did Mtsyri die? Why, despite the death of the hero, do we not perceive the poem as a gloomy work, full of despair and hopelessness? The origins of the Mtsyri tragedy are in the conditions that have surrounded the hero since childhood. The circumstances in which he found himself left their mark on him, making him a "dungeon flower", and determined the death of the hero. Such a defeat at the same time is a victory: life doomed Mtsyri to eternal slavery, humility, loneliness, and he managed to know freedom, experience the happiness of struggle and the joy of merging with the world. Therefore, his death, for all its tragedy, makes us proud of Mtsyri and hatred for the conditions that deprive him of happiness.
