Maslov Kirill, 10g1

Is Oblomov a good person? Could it be redundant? good man?

In Russian literature of the second half of the 19th century one can find a lot interesting characters. But, it seems to me, the most colorful and controversial is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov main character novel of the same name by I. A. Goncharov.

How many people so many opinions says folk wisdom. Everyone can evaluate Ilya Ilyich in accordance with their feelings. I think Oblomov is a good person. This opinion was formed after assessing the relationship of the main character with other characters in the novel.

Oblomov cannot be imagined outside the sofa. The essence of Ilya Ilyich is clearly manifested precisely at home, where he lives with an old servant. The main character treats Zakhar well and in a friendly manner, whom he has known since childhood. Sometimes he makes “pathetic scenes”, but doesn’t go any further. Even having noticed the old man's theft, he does not pay special attention to it. Lazy Oblomov knows that he cannot exist alone, and that is why he loves Zakhar for his patience.

Since early childhood, Andrei Ivanovich Stolts has been a friend of the main character. What could be interesting for the energetic and independent Stolz in Oblomov? Andrei Ivanovich appreciates Ilya Ilyich for his intelligence, simplicity, tenderness and sincerity and “pulls” the hero out of various kinds of “scrapes”. For this, Oblomov loves and respects Stolz immensely. In addition, Andrei Ivanovich introduces Ilya Ilyich to Olga Ilyinskaya.

Oblomov does not pursue low goals in his relationship with the young lady. Everything in his soul happens simply and naturally. If Oblomov’s thoughts and phrases spoken to Olga belonged to someone else, they could be considered vulgarity and pretense. But we understand the sincerity of Ilya Ilyich: “Olga understood that the word had escaped from him” and that it was “the truth.” Ilyinskaya herself, who at first only wanted to rise in her own and others’ eyes with the help of the hero, falls in love with such a meek, decent, somewhat naive man. He really is different. Ilya Ilyich thinks about strangers, even if it is unprofitable for him. Consider just one letter from the hero to Olga: “You cannot love me.” In order, God forbid, not to disappoint an inexperienced girl in her feelings, he is even ready to give up his love: “This is not the one you were waiting for, about whom you dreamed.” Oblomov, first of all, thinks about strangers, he is afraid that they will be disappointed in him.

This is the defining line of Ilya Ilyich’s relationship with other characters in Oblomov. His house is very rarely empty. Everyone enjoys the company of the hero. Oblomov does not refuse anyone anything: whoever needs advice, gives advice; anyone who needs something to eat will be invited to dinner. Tarantiev always takes from Ilya Ilyich everything he needs: a tailcoat His simplicity gives some a reason to cheat, but it seems that God himself is on the side of the hero. Oblomov comes out of every scrape safely. They forced me to sign a “loan letter” Stolz saved, they sent a swindler to the estate Stolz saved, the relationship with Olga did not work out, Stolz did not help found Agafya Matveevna. Nothing can distract Ilya Ilyich from “peace and peaceful fun.”

Goncharov showed an intelligent, calm, decent, simple, at the same time capable of love, sincere, somewhat naive hero, for whom “lying down is a way of life.”

Can a person endowed with such qualities be bad? I think not. Moreover, I have never seen such a wonderful hero in any work of literature.

You might think that if a uniquely positive character exists, he will definitely be “superfluous”, but it only seems so. Oblomov left behind a living reminder of Andryushenko. After the death of Ilya Ilyich, Agafya Matveevna thought about her aimless life. Olga was formed as a person as a result of Oblomov’s influence. It is not for nothing that both Agafya Matveevna and the Stoltsy spouses remember the already deceased hero every day. A good person, especially if he is Oblomov, cannot live without a trace. What could happen if everything good people were they redundant? Our world would be filled with the results of the actions of scoundrels and scoundrels. But we see that this is not so. Therefore, I believe that a good person cannot be superfluous.

Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is not a character about whom we can say that he is a good or, conversely, a bad person. The simultaneous simplicity and complexity of character gives rise to the ambiguity of the hero. To understand this unrealized personality, you need to analyze both positive and negative sides character of the hero.

In the novel, Ilya Ilyich does not decide anything on his own, hoping for help from the outside - Zakhar, who will bring him clothes or food; Stolz, who is capable of solving his problems in Oblomovka, Tarantiev, who, although he will deceive, will himself understand the situation that interests Oblomov, etc.

The hero is not interested in real life, it makes him bored and tired, he does not need the vibrant energy of everyday life, he does not want to “scatter” his life in the bustle of society. He finds true peace and satisfaction lying on the sofa, in a world of illusions invented by himself. But even 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. Oblomov is lazy, lives in an untidy apartment, a sort of hero - a lump, deprived in childhood of the most important thing - knowledge of the world through its opposite, dreams and memories, because of this he was absolutely unprepared for the real world. Deprived of will, the ability to fight for his place in the sun and perseverance, Oblomov is afraid of life, and the very first failure becomes the last for the hero - he no longer wants to move forward and hides from the “cruel” real world in his dreams.

Positive aspects of character begin to emerge during Oblomov’s interaction with his active, active and purposeful friend, Andrei Ivanovich Stolts. Stolz is practically the only character who saw positive traits in Oblomov: sincerity, kindness, the ability to feel and understand another person’s problem, inner calm and simplicity. Oblomov’s dove-like tenderness, sensuality and sincerity are also revealed during his relationship with Olga. He is the first to realize that he cannot give Olga the happiness she dreams of. Although perhaps it was just cowardice in the face of change, he nevertheless realizes that he is not suitable for the girl and drags her along with him to Oblomovka.

Oblomov is too soft and sensitive by nature a person who failed to find his place in real life, but the reason is not a fatal combination of circumstances or a difficult fate, but in improper upbringing. I can't name Ilya Ilyich bad person, can you really call a child bad for his dreams? But you can’t call him good either.

The usual point of view: Oblomov is a lazy gentleman, rotting from idleness and unwillingness to do anything on his estate with a faithful servant. But you can look at the novel from the other side. This is a wonderful example in Russian literature of a hero who does nothing in the name of an idea, duty, or responsibility. A person who simply lives and loves in the circumstances life offers him. Yes, he doesn’t want to change anything, he sleeps a lot, eats deliciously, but wouldn’t many of us want to live like this for at least one day, not burdened by the weight of real life? Life is not always and not for everyone a struggle, aspiration, passion. Some people don’t want to make revolutions, they just want to live. So is it possible to judge him? He is neither good nor bad. He is just an ordinary person living for himself.

In Russian literature of the second half of the 19th century you can find many interesting heroes. But, it seems to me, the most colorful and controversial is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, the main character of the novel of the same name by I. A.

But we see that this is not so. Therefore, I believe that a good person cannot be superfluous.

Before we begin our discussion on the topic: do Russia need the Oblomovs? I want to talk about I.S. Goncharov and his great work.
I.S. Goncharov is a writer of the second half of the 19th century. The author wrote his novel in 1859 and published it in the journal Otechestvennye zapiski; in his views, he belonged to the moderate-liberal employees of the “contemporary”. In Oblomov, Goncharov shows the crisis and collapse of old feudal Rus'. Dobrolyubov said that Ilya Ilyich symbolizes laziness, inaction and stagnation of the entire feudal system of relations. He is the last in a row of “superfluous people” - the Onegins, Pechorins, Chatskys and others. Dobrolyubov believed that Ilya Ilyich has a typical complex “ extra person"brought to the point of paradox. Oblomov's life is limited to the confines of one room where the hero lies and sleeps. The author guesses in the household items surrounding Oblomov the character of their owner. There are signs of neglect on all things, last year's newspaper is lying around, there is a thick layer of dust on the mirrors and armchairs. The internal state of Ilya Ilyich is guessed even through his shoes, soft and wide. When the owner, without looking, lowered his feet from the bed to the floor, he certainly fell straight into them. And his robe is special, oriental, “without. the slightest hint of Europe." He, like an obedient slave, obeys the slightest movement of Oblomov’s body.
Oblomov does not see anything at all in either the bureaucratic or literary career a field that corresponds to the highest purpose of man, he alone is uninterested in anything and indifferent to everything. Ilya Ilyich is quite happy with his lying on the sofa; his laziness has already reached such an extent that he finds it difficult to get up from the couch.
Reading Goncharov’s novel, we see our own reflection in the characters; people seem to combine their qualities. Answering the question whether Russia needs the Oblomovs, it should be noted that Oblomov is a harmless, kind person, on the one hand, and on the other, dangerous to society. You can imagine for a moment what would happen if the Oblomovs ruled in Russia. All people would become imaginary and idle, they would lie on the sofa all day and could not get up from it. Such a life situation is followed by the collapse and then the death of humanity. Therefore, the fewer bummers, the better for others: talented, proactive people striving for success.
And as for people like Andrei Stolts, they certainly achieve a brilliant career, they have intelligence and prudence, but those around them never receive the necessary love, affection, everything that Stolts do is only for their own benefit. And if you find a middle ground between Stolz and Oblomov, combine “lazy kindness” with cold prudence, you may end up with a person worthy of our country.
I think that Russia does not need the Oblomovs at all; they are corrupting society with their inactivity and worthlessness. Russia needs people who are proactive, smart, and thirsty for knowledge, so that over time they can direct their abilities in the right direction for the prosperity of the country, and not for its decline.
