Task 6

Analyze the symbolism of F. Tyutchev’s poem “Swan”.

Exercise 1.
By this passage name the author and his work.
a) “Coming from St. Petersburg, I imagined that the road was the best. It was revered as such by all those who traveled along it after the sovereign. She really was like that, but for a short time. The earth poured on the road, making it smooth in dry times, liquefied by rains, produced great mud in the middle of the summer and made it impassable... Concerned about the bad road, I got up from the wagon and entered the post hut, intending to rest.”
b) “In one minute the road skidded; the surroundings disappeared into a muddy and yellowish haze, through which white flakes of snow flew; the sky merged with the earth<...>I found myself in a field and in vain wanted to get back onto the road; the horse walked at random and constantly rode up a snowdrift and then fell into a hole; the sleigh was constantly overturning.”
c) “There was still a mile left to the station. It was quiet all around, so quiet that you could follow its flight by the buzzing of a mosquito. To the left was a deep gorge; behind him and in front of us, the dark blue peaks of the mountains, pitted with wrinkles, covered with layers of snow, were drawn on the pale horizon, which still retained the last glow of dawn. Stars began to flicker in the dark sky, and strangely, it seemed to me that they were much higher than here in the north. Bare, black stones stuck out on both sides of the road; here and there bushes peeked out from under the snow, but not a single dry leaf moved, and it was fun to hear among this dead sleep nature, the snort of a tired postal troika and the uneven jingling of a Russian bell.”
d) “And for sure, the road is dangerous; to the right, piles of snow hung above our heads, seemingly ready to fall into the gorge at the first gust of wind; the narrow road was partly covered with snow, which in some places collapsed underfoot, in others it turned into ice from the action sun rays and night frosts, so that we could hardly make our way on our own; horses fell; to the left there was a deep chasm where a stream rolled, sometimes hiding under an icy crust, sometimes jumping with foam over the black stones.”
e) “But nowhere could a distant rooster crow be heard: neither in the city nor in the devastated surroundings there was not a single rooster left for a long time. On a small log they crossed the channel, beyond which rose the opposite bank, which seemed higher than what was behind them and stood out as a complete cliff. It seemed that in this place there was a strong and self-reliable point of the city fortress ... "
Answer. 1. Based on this passage, name the author and his work. (5 points.)
a) A. N. Radishchev. "Journey from St. Petersburg to Moscow."
b) A. S. Pushkin. "Blizzard".
c) M. Yu. Lermontov. "Hero of Our Time", "Bela".

d) N.V. Gogol. "Taras Bulba".

Task 2
Here are the characteristics literary heroes, taken from works of Russian literature known to you. Identify the work, the author, and who gives the given description to whom. Write down the answer in the form of 4 formulations in the same sequence in which the questions were posed.
A. He was a nice little guy, I dare to assure you; just a little strange. After all, for example, in the rain, in the cold, hunting all day; everyone will be cold and tired - but nothing to him. And another time he sits in his room, smells the wind, assures him that he has a cold; the shutter knocks, he shudders and turns pale; and with me he went to the wild boar one on one.
B. What a girl she was! It happened that whoever passed by would praise, no one would judge, the ladies would give her a handkerchief or earrings. The gentlemen passing by deliberately stopped as if to have lunch or dinner, but in fact only to take a closer look at her. Sometimes the master, no matter how angry he was in front of her, would calm down and talk kindly to me. Believe it, sir, the couriers and couriers talked to her for half an hour. She kept the house together, managed to clean, cook, and did everything.
V. Then a girl of about eighteen came in, chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair combed smoothly behind her ears, which were on fire. At first glance I didn't really like her. I looked at her with prejudice.
G. She, without embarrassment, walked straight across the hall to me, and I jumped up without waiting for an invitation, and she thanked me with a smile for my insight. When we were brought to her and she did not guess my quality, she, giving her hand not to me, shrugged her thin shoulders, and, as a sign of regret and consolation, smiled at me. When they did the mazurka waltz figures, I waltzed with her for a long time, and she, breathing quickly, smiled and said to me: “Encore.”
D. Was a rather rich nobleman, with considerable intelligence and kind hearted, kind by nature, but weak and flighty. He led an absent-minded life, thought only about his own pleasure, looked for it in secular amusements, but often did not find it: he was bored and complained about his fate. He read novels, idylls, had a fairly vivid imagination and often moved mentally to those times (former or not), in which, according to the poets, all people carelessly walked through the meadows, swam in clean sources, kissed like turtle doves, rested under roses and myrtles and spent all their days in happy idleness

Task 6

Analyze the symbolism of F. Tyutchev’s poem “Swan”.

Number of points - 10.

Model of answer to task No. 6.

In answer to the question posed, the student should:

– Detect understanding the problems of the poem, her philosophical nature. F. Tyutchev compares two symbols - the images of a swan and an eagle - and reflects on the laws of human existence and knowledge.

- Offer adequate and consistent interpretation of the poem. The eagle is an image of rational, active knowledge and conquest of the world. The swan is an image of the intuitive, aesthetic perception peace. The eagle's vision is physical; it perceives only one side of the world. The swan’s vision is supernatural (“sleep”, the eyes are closed during sleep), it perceives the entirety of the universe. The eagle sees only the brightest elements of the world, the swan sees the whole world intact. The white (“pure”) color of the swan is symbolic. Its position is symbolic between the sky and the reflection of the sky in the water - between two “abyss”. Only on the verge of the world's elements, on the verge of worlds, is it possible for man to understand the universe.

- Mark poetic means, constituting the symbolism of the poem. Except central characters– eagle and swan – have symbolic meaning: the abilities of the eagle and swan (to fly and swim), their color, their visual abilities(attributed to them by poetry, cultural consciousness, the author of the text); the spaces of sky and earth (water) are symbolic; traditionally symbolic meaning Lightning and thunder are endowed in poetry.

Typical for F. Tyutchev are the techniques of binary compositional opposition (the 1st quatrain and the rest of the text), rhetorical appeal. The symbolic generality of the text is emphasized by the selection lexical means archaic (including Old Slavic) character: “gender e t", "sound e zdny" (with "e" instead of the modern "e"); “drinks in”, “abyss”, “all-seeing”, “firmament”, etc.

Based on dual worlds, poeticization of the elements, sleep, and intuition, the poem can be assessed as romantic. The word "firmament" in the context of the poem means sky.

Cossack lullaby song

Sleep, my beautiful baby,
‎Bayushki-byu.
The clear moon looks quietly
To your cradle.
I will tell fairy tales
I’ll sing a song;
You were dozing with your eyes closed,
‎Bayushki-byu.

The Terek flows over the stones,
A muddy wave splashes;
An angry Chechen crawls to the shore,
‎Sharpening his dagger;
But your father is an old warrior,
‎Forged in battle:
Sleep, little one, be calm,
‎Bayushki-byu.

You will find out for yourself, there will be time,
Abusive life;
Feel free to put your foot in the stirrup
And you take the gun.
I am a fighting saddle
I'll spread it out in silk...
Sleep, my dear child,
‎Bayushki-byu.

You'll be a hero in sight
And a Cossack at heart.
I'll go out to see you off -
‎You wave your hand...
How many bitter tears stealthily
I'll spill it that night!..
Sleep, my angel, quietly, sweetly,
‎Bayushki-byu.

I will begin to languish with longing,
It’s inconsolable to wait;
I will pray all day long,
‎At night, guessing;
I'll start to think that you miss me
‎You are in a foreign land...
Sleep until you have no worries,
Baiushki bye.

I'll give you some for the road
‎Icon of the saint:
You pray to God,
‎Set it before yourself;
Yes, preparing for a dangerous battle,
‎Remember your mother...
Sleep, my beautiful baby,
‎Bayushki-byu.

2.1. Formulate the poetic theme and idea of ​​the work. Determine the main mood.

Answer.“Cossack Lullaby” is written from the perspective of a mother cradling her baby, the son of an “old warrior”; the mother predicts for the boy “an abusive life,” the dangerous but glorious life of a Cossack. Everything in this poem is full of harmony, and even sad thoughts about the inevitable separation, about the sad expectation of the son, about the difficulties that await him, do not disturb the general peace and regularity. The son will repeat the path of his father, and the “image of the saint,” prayer and remembrance of his mother will serve as consolation and support in battle. The idea of ​​a connection between generations: one must live fully and righteously, loving God, father, mother, and the Fatherland.

2.2.Analyze the composition and figurative structure of the poem. How from a collection of pictures and images is born the idea of moral ideal people's world? What values ​​constitute this ideal?

2.3.How does genre help express the idea of ​​a work?

2.4. What folk poetic means of expression are used in the poem, what is their role?

2.5.What thoughts and feelings does this poem give rise to in you?

Answer.

“Cossack Lullaby Song” is in the spirit of a mother’s monologue.

The first eight-line would be suitable for any lullaby, since it contains all the attributes of this form folklore work- a clear month, a fairy tale and a mother’s desire for her son to fall asleep as soon as possible.

However, the poet continues his story on behalf of a Cossack woman in a completely different vein and talks about what he happened to see in this terrible and bloody war.

“An angry Chechen crawls to the shore, sharpens his dagger,” these words are completely unsuitable for a lullaby, however, nevertheless, they reflect reality. As well as the following lines, in which the poet tells that the baby’s father is ready to give the enemy a worthy rebuff, since he went to fight for his native land.

A similar fate awaits this baby, who is now resting in the arms of a Cossack woman, but very soon, just like his father, he will defend his homeland from Chechen raids. “You will boldly put your foot in the stirrup and take a gun,” his mother predicts, realizing that this is exactly what the fate of her child will be.

But even she cannot know whether he will be able to survive the bloody and ongoing war. All that remains for the inconsolable woman in this situation is to pray to God that her son will return home. Therefore, the poet promises on her behalf: “I will give you an icon of the saint for your journey.” That's all he can do for his child. loving mother, which gives the son the order not only to seek salvation in prayer, but also to remember the one who gave him life, and now only dreams of preserving it.

Is there hope for success and where is the guarantee of a successful outcome of righteous service? According to the meaning of the lullaby, and therefore according to the author’s conviction, there is such a pledge:

I'll give you some for the road
icon of the saint,
You pray to God,
Set it before yourself.

Otherwise: do not deviate from the duty and covenants of the Orthodox faith!

Yes, preparing for a dangerous battle,
Remember your mother...
Sleep baby, my beautiful one,
Baiushki bye.

With touching simplicity, the poet reveals in brilliantly found images-symbols the saving thread of generations whose lives are spent in honest, albeit harsh, service to God and the Fatherland. The baby is still fragile, but he is protected by the love and affection of his mother, and the courage of his father, tempered in “battles” for a common cause. He will also receive the blessing of his parents for such a thing:

You will find out for yourself, there will be time,
Abusive life;
Feel free to put your foot in the stirrup
And take a gun...

This does not necessarily mean only a “military” act, although we're talking about first of all about him. However, it is important to take into account how the mother herself feels about her son’s fulfillment of his duty, which is not easy in all cases:

I'm a combat sitter
I'll spread it out in silk...

This is not bravado, but the consciousness of the need for everyone and together to protect the well-being of their native land:

You'll be a hero in sight
And a Cossack in soul (that is, brave and honest),
I'll go out to see you off
You wave your hand...
How many bitter tears stealthily
I'll spill it that night!

There is no work in Russian literature in which the three most important fundamentals life of a Russian person: God, Fatherland, home. This should also be seen highest point the spiritual rise of Lermontov himself as a poet.

V. G. Belinsky wrote about “Cossack Lullaby”: “This poem is the artistic apotheosis of a mother: everything that is holy, selfless in a mother’s love, ... all the infinity of meek tenderness, the boundlessness of selfless devotion that a mother’s love breathes - all this is reproduced by the poet in its entirety.”.
