Oblomov and “extra people.” The image of Oblomov as a type of superfluous person in Russian literature of the 19th century. Characteristics of the main character and definition of techniques for creating the image.
A miracle happened: a little man was born. Who will he be? Will it benefit society? Will he be happy? No one knows this yet...
A miracle happened: they grew a Human from a little man. What was inherent by nature: a heart of gold, the ability to experience strong feelings, kindness, but at the same time laziness - remained. Thank you, nannies and mothers. You raised someone's sun. And now Oblomov is over 30, but he is still afraid to look at the world - because it might hurt. Ilya is an Oblomov in the common sense of the word. What I dreamed of was not done. He is a slave to the sofa and robe. A slave to principles and habits: he is a master, Zakhar is a servant... Then Stolz will come and light a fire in his soul, extinguished from spiritual old age. Then she will burst into flames: Oblomov will fall in love with Olga. In the meantime, he died for society, he is dying morally, and soon he will die physically... For now, he suffers because of his faith in people and nevertheless believes in them. Difficult to understand? Decrypt? He does not know how to refuse the head manager (a fraudster), and lets everyone into the house indiscriminately. Trusting people who cannot be trusted is a tragedy. You can't trust people who can stab you in the back. So why not believe them? Step over yourself? Hurt. And wrong.
But you can accidentally hit someone in the back! And not to feel your guilt - only this will not reduce the pain of another. So Oblomov suffers because of his faith in people, and yet he believes in them. I feel incredibly sorry for this Oblomov, but there is nothing to help him until he himself makes at least some effort... And so Oblomov was reborn. Love almost pulled him out of the quagmire. But he was still afraid to extend his hand to happiness. He retreated without a fight. He gave it up to someone. And that someone will be Stolz. But all this comes later. In the meantime, Oblomov’s sun rose over Pshenitsyna’s house. But... behind a blank wall, behind the black gorge of Oblomovism.
Oblomov died. The sun set, never to rise again... But its rays shone in someone’s memory. And some realized what they had lost. And the sun has already set. We make the same mistakes. And this always happens: during life, we take a person for granted or, even worse, we forget. And when we lose, we understand who we lost. And we begin to appreciate. And minor shortcomings are forgotten and become unimportant. You just can’t bring the person back.
There were many passers-by along Oblomov’s life path. Everyone received from him what they needed. You need attention - they listen to you. If you want to console your pride, they will believe your boasting. But these people never realized that it was the sun man. And who warmed up in its rays? Stolts, Olga, Zakhar, Pshenitsyna. Only four people! But at least they appreciated Oblomov? No. And this makes my soul even worse. But did only four people warm themselves in Oblomov’s rays? We also drink from the bottomless well left to us by Goncharov. And it’s as if we hear the laughter of the stars.

Conclusion. Who is to blame for “Oblomovism”?
Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” continues the gallery of works that describe heroes who are superfluous to the whole world and to themselves, but not superfluous to the passions boiling in their souls. Oblomov, the main character of the novel, following Onegin and Pechorin, goes through the same thorny path of life's disappointments, tries to change something in the world, tries to love, make friends, maintain relationships with acquaintances, but he does not succeed in all this. Just like life didn’t work out for Lermontov’s and Pushkin’s heroes. And the main heroines of all these three works, “Eugene Onegin”, “Hero of Our Time” and “Oblomov”, are also similar - pure and bright creatures who were never able to stay with their lovers. Perhaps a certain type of man attracts a certain type of woman? But why then do such worthless men attract such beautiful women? And, in general, what are the reasons for their worthlessness, were they really born this way, or is it a noble upbringing, or is time to blame? Using Oblomov’s example, we will try to understand the essence of the “extra people” problem and try to answer the questions posed.
With the development of the history of “extra people” in literature, a kind of paraphernalia, or things, objects, which must be present for each such “extra” character, was developed. Oblomov has all these accessories: a dressing gown, a dusty sofa and an old servant, without whose help it seemed he would die. Maybe that’s why Oblomov doesn’t go abroad, because there are only “girls” as servants who don’t know how to properly take off a master’s boots. But where did all this come from? It seems that the reason must first of all be sought in the childhood of Ilya Ilyich, in the pampered life that the landowners of that time led and in the inertia that was instilled from childhood: “the mother, after petting him, let him walk in the garden, around the yard, in the meadow , with strict confirmation to the nanny not to leave the child alone, not to allow him near horses, dogs, goats, not to go far from the house, and most importantly, not to let him into the ravine, as the most terrible place in the area, which had a bad reputation.” And, having become an adult, Oblomov also does not allow himself to be near horses, or to people, or to the whole world. Why it is in childhood that it is necessary to look for the roots of such a phenomenon as “Oblomovism” is clearly visible when comparing Oblomov with his childhood friend, Andrei Stolts. They are the same age and the same social status, but like two different planets colliding in space. Of course, all this can only be explained by Stolz’s German origin, however, what then to do with Olga Ilyinskaya, a Russian young lady who, at twenty years old, was much more purposeful than Oblomov. And it’s not even about age (Oblomov was about 30 years old at the time of the events), but again about upbringing. Olga grew up in her aunt’s house, not restrained by the strict orders of her elders or constant affection, and learned everything herself. That's why she has such an inquisitive mind and desire to live and act. After all, in childhood there was no one who would take care of her, hence the sense of responsibility and the inner core that does not allow her to deviate from her principles and way of life. Oblomov was raised by the women of his family, and this is not his fault, but somewhere the fault of his mother, her so-called selfishness towards her child, a life filled with illusions, goblins and brownies, and maybe that was all society in these pre-Moscow times. “Although the adult Ilya Ilyich later learns that there are no honey and milk rivers, no good sorceresses, although he jokes with a smile at his nanny’s stories, this smile is not sincere, it is accompanied by a secret sigh: his fairy tale is mixed with life, and he sometimes unconsciously sad, why is a fairy tale not life, and why is life not a fairy tale?
Oblomov remained living in fairy tales told by his nanny, and was never able to plunge into real life, because real life, for the most part, is black and vulgar, and people living in fairy tales have no place in it, because in In real life, everything happens not by the wave of a magic wand, but only thanks to human will. Stolz says the same thing to Oblomov, but he is so blind and deaf, so captured by the petty passions raging in his soul, that sometimes he doesn’t even understand his best friend: “Well, brother Andrei, you are the same! There was one smart man, and he went crazy. Who goes to America and Egypt! The English: that’s how God made them; and they have nowhere to live at home. Who will go with us? Is it some desperate person who doesn’t care about life?” But Oblomov himself doesn’t care about life. And he’s too lazy to live. And it seems that only love, a big and bright feeling, can revive him. But we know that this did not happen, although Oblomov tried very hard.
At the beginning of the emergence of the relationship between Oblomov and Olga Ilyinskaya, the hope that “happiness is possible” also arises in us, and, indeed, Ilya Ilyich is simply transformed. We see him in the lap of nature, in the country, far from the dusty bustle of the capital, and from the dusty sofa. He is almost like a child, and this village reminds us so much of Oblomovka, when Ilya Ilyich’s mind was still childish and inquisitive, and when the infection of Russian spleen had not yet had time to take root in his body and soul. Probably, in Olga he found his early deceased mother and just as unquestioningly began to obey her, and was also happy that she took patronage over him, because he never learned to manage his life himself. But love for Olga is another fairy tale, a truth invented this time by himself, although he wholeheartedly believes in it. The “superfluous person” is not able to grow this feeling, because it is also superfluous for him, just as he is superfluous for the whole world. However, Oblomov does not lie when he confesses his love to Olga, for Olga is indeed a “fairy-tale” character, because only a fairy from a fairy tale can fall in love with a person like him. How many wrong things Oblomov does - this is the letter he invented at night, this is the constant fear that people will gossip about them, this is the endlessly drawn-out matter with arranging the wedding. Circumstances are always higher than Oblomov, and a person who is unable to control them will certainly slide into the abyss of misunderstanding, despondency and blues. But Olga patiently waits for him, one can only envy her patience, and, finally, Oblomov himself decides to break off the relationship. The reason is very stupid and not worthwhile, but that’s Oblomov. And this is probably the only action in his life that he could decide to do, but the action is stupid and absurd: “Who cursed you, Ilya? What did you do? You are kind, smart, gentle, noble... and... you are dying! What ruined you? There is no name for this evil... “There is,” he said barely audibly. She looked at him questioningly, her eyes full of tears. - Oblomovism!” This is how one phenomenon ruined a person’s entire life! However, we should not forget that it was he, this man, who gave birth to this phenomenon. It did not grow out of nowhere, it was not brought in like a disease, it was carefully nurtured, groomed and cherished in the soul of our hero, and took such strong roots that it is no longer possible to pull it out. And when, instead of a person, we see only this phenomenon, wrapped in an outer shell, then such a person really becomes “superfluous” or ceases to exist altogether. This is how Oblomov dies quietly in the house of the widow Pshenitsyna, the same phenomenon instead of a person.
I would like to think that society is still to blame for such a weak-willed existence of Oblomov, because he lives in a quiet and calm time, free from shocks, uprisings and wars. Maybe his soul is simply at peace, because he doesn’t have to fight, worry about the fate of the people, his safety, the safety of his family. At such a time, many people are simply born, live and die, just like in Oblomovka, because time does not require heroic deeds from them. But we can say with confidence that even if danger arose, Oblomov would not, under any circumstances, go to the barricades. This is his tragedy. And what then to do with Stolz, he is also a contemporary of Oblomov and lives with him in the same country and in the same city, however, his whole life is like a small feat. No, Oblomov himself is to blame, and this makes it even worse, because in essence he is a good person.
But such is the fate of all “extra” people. Unfortunately, it is not enough to just be a good person, you also need to fight and prove it, which Oblomov, unfortunately, was unable to do. But he became an example for people then and today, an example of what you can become if you are not able not only to control the events of life, but also yourself. They are “superfluous”, these people, they have no place in life, because it is cruel and merciless, first of all, to the weak and infirm, and because one must always fight for a place in this life!

Tags: Oblomov and “extra people” Essay Literature
1. What things have become a symbol of “Oblomovism”?
The symbols of “Oblomovism” were a robe, slippers, and a sofa.
2. What turned Oblomov into an apathetic couch potato?
Laziness, fear of movement and life, inability to carry out practical activities, and the replacement of life with vague daydreaming turned Oblomov from a man into an appendage of a robe and a sofa.
3. What is the function of Oblomov’s dream in I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”?
The chapter “Oblomov’s Dream” paints an idyll of a patriarchal fortress village, in which only such an Oblomov could grow up. The Oblomovites are shown as sleeping heroes, and Oblomovka is shown as a sleepy kingdom. The dream shows the conditions of Russian life that gave rise to Oblomovism.
4. Can Oblomov be called an “extra person”?
N.A. Dobrolyubov noted in the article “What is Oblomovism?” that the features of Oblomovism were to some extent characteristic of both Onegin and Pechorin, that is, “superfluous people.” But the “superfluous people” of previous literature were surrounded by a certain romantic aura; they seemed to be strong people, distorted by reality. Oblomov is also “superfluous,” but “reduced from a beautiful pedestal to a soft sofa.” A.I. Herzen said that the Onegins and Pechorins relate to Oblomov like fathers to their children.
5. What is the peculiarity of the composition of I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”?
The composition of I. A. Goncharov's novel "Oblomov" is characterized by the presence of a double storyline - Oblomov's novel and Stolz's novel. Unity is achieved with the help of the image of Olga Ilyinskaya, who connects both lines. The novel (an immortal work) is built on the contrast of images: Oblomov - Stolz, Olga - Pshenitsyna, Zakhar - Anisya. The entire first part of the novel is an extensive exposition, introducing the hero already in adulthood.
6. What role does the epilogue play in I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”?
The epilogue tells about Oblomov's death, which made it possible to trace the hero's entire life from birth to the end.
7. Why does the morally pure, honest Oblomov die morally?
The habit of receiving everything from life without putting any effort into it developed apathy and inertia in Oblomov, making him a slave to his own laziness. Ultimately, the feudal system and the home education it generated are to blame for this.
8. How does I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” show the complex relationship between slavery and lordship?
Serfdom corrupts not only masters, but also slaves. An example of this is the fate of Zakhar. He is as lazy as Oblomov. During the life of the master, he is content with his position. After Oblomov's death, Zakhar has nowhere to go - he becomes a beggar.
9. What is “Oblomovism”?
“Oblomovism” is a social phenomenon consisting of laziness, apathy, inertia, contempt for work and an all-consuming desire for peace.
10. Why was Olga Ilyinskaya’s attempt to revive Oblomov unsuccessful?
Having fallen in love with Oblomov, Olga tries to re-educate him and overcome his laziness. But his apathy deprives her of faith in the future Oblomov. Oblomov's laziness was higher and stronger than love.
Stolz is hardly a positive hero. Although, at first glance, this is a new, progressive person, active and active, there is something of a machine in him, always dispassionate, rational. He is a schematic, unnatural person.
12. Describe Stolz from I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”.
Stolz is the antipode of Oblomov. He is an active, active person, a bourgeois businessman. He is enterprising and always strives for something. The outlook on life is characterized by the words: “Work is the image, content, element and purpose of life, at least mine.” But Stolz is incapable of experiencing strong feelings; he smacks of calculatedness in every step. The image of Stolz is artistically more schematic and declarative than the image of Oblomov.
At the beginning of the 19th century, a number of works appeared in Russian literature, the main problem of which was the conflict between man and society, the environment that raised him. The most outstanding of them were “Eugene Onegin” by A.S. Pushnina and “Hero of Our Time” by M.Yu. Lermontov. This is how a special literary type is created and developed - the image of a “superfluous person”, a hero who has not found his place in society, is not understood and rejected by his environment. This image changed as society developed, acquiring new features, qualities, features, until it reached its most vivid and complete embodiment in the novel by I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov".
Goncharov’s work is the story of a hero who does not have the makings of a determined fighter, but has all the data to be a good, decent person. The writer “wanted to ensure that the random image that flashed before him was elevated to a type, giving it a generic and permanent meaning,” wrote N.A. Dobrolyubov. Indeed, Oblomov is not a new face in Russian literature, “but before it was not presented to us as simply and naturally as in Goncharov’s novel.”
Why can Oblomov be called a “superfluous man”? What are the similarities and differences between this character and his famous predecessors - Onegin and Pechorin?
Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a weak-willed, lethargic, apathetic nature, divorced from real life: “Lying... was his normal state.” And this feature is the first thing that distinguishes him from Pushkin’s and, especially, Lermontov’s heroes.
The life of Goncharov’s character is rosy dreams on a soft sofa. Slippers and a robe are integral companions of Oblomov’s existence and bright, precise artistic details that reveal Oblomov’s inner essence and outer lifestyle. Living in an imaginary world, fenced off by dusty curtains from real reality, the hero devotes his time to making unrealistic plans and does not bring anything to fruition. Any of his undertakings suffers the fate of a book that Oblomov has been reading for several years on one page.
However, the inaction of Goncharov’s character was not raised to such an extreme degree as that of Manilov from the poem by N.V. Gogol’s “Dead Souls”, and, as Dobrolyubov correctly noted, “Oblomov is not a stupid, apathetic nature, without aspirations and feelings, but a person who is also looking for something in his life, thinking about something...”.
Like Onegin and Pechorin, Goncharov’s hero in his youth was a romantic, thirsting for an ideal, burning with the desire for activity, but, like them, Oblomov’s “flower of life” “bloomed and did not bear fruit.” Oblomov became disillusioned with life, lost interest in knowledge, realized the futility of his existence, and literally and figuratively “lay down on the sofa,” believing that in this way he could preserve the integrity of his personality.
So the hero “laid away” his life, without bringing any visible benefit to society; “slept through” the love that passed him by. One can agree with the words of his friend Stolz, who figuratively noted that Oblomov’s “troubles began with the inability to put on stockings and ended with the inability to live.”
Thus, the main difference between the “superfluous man” of Oblomov and the “superfluous people” of Onegin and Pechorin is that the latter denied social vices in action - real deeds and actions (see Onegin’s life in the village, Pechorin’s communication with the “water society”) , while the first one “protested” on the sofa, spending his entire life in immobility and inaction. Therefore, if Onegin and Pechorin are “moral cripples” largely due to the fault of society, then Oblomov is mainly due to the fault of his own apathetic nature.
In addition, if the type of “superfluous person” is universal and characteristic not only of Russian, but also foreign literature (B. Constant, A. de Musset, etc.), then, considering the features of the social and spiritual life of Russia in the 19th century, it can be noted that that Oblomovism is a purely Russian phenomenon, generated by the reality of that time. It is no coincidence that Dobrolyubov saw in Oblomov “our indigenous, folk type.”
So, in the novel by I.A. Goncharov’s “Oblomov”, the image of the “superfluous man” receives its final embodiment and development. If in the works of A.S. Pushkin and M.Yu. Lermontov reveals the tragedy of one human soul that has not found its place in society, while Goncharov depicts an entire phenomenon of Russian social and spiritual life, called “Oblomovism” and incorporating the main vices of one of the characteristic types of noble youth of the 50s of the 19th century.
Other works on the topic:
I. A. Goncharov in his novel explores human nature, and if in the images of Oblomov and Stolz we find, as it were, two extremes (cordiality, but passivity and activity to the detriment of the soul), then in the image of Olga Ilyinskaya, from my point of view, they were not embodied only the best features of a Russian woman, but also all the best that the writer saw in a Russian person.
Love, the strongest human feeling, has played a big role in life. Oblomov. The love of two women, one smart, sophisticated, gentle, demanding, the other economical, simple-minded, accepting the hero as he is.
Oblomov’s image consists, as it were, of parts. There is Oblomov, a moldy, almost disgusting, greasy, awkward piece of meat. There is Oblomov, in love with Olga Oblomov, who is deeply touching and sympathetic in his sad comedy.
At the center of the novel. Goncharova Oblomov is a complex and contradictory image of a landowner. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. The first part of the novel depicts what seem to be the most obvious traits of his personality: laziness, lack of will, contemplation.
I want to write about two women who played a huge role in the life of one person. This person. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is the main character of the novel by I. A. Goncharov and one of my favorite literary characters.
Autumn evening. There is no one at home, and I am reading Goncharov’s novel. Still a strange hero - Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. He patiently endures all the blows of fate, resigns himself to the constant shortages in the village and Zakhar’s laziness, to the fact that he is constantly deceived, robbed, and his inherent kindness is abused. He does not strive to achieve wealth, fame, position in society.
Goncharov considered the main task of his novel “Oblomov” to be the search for a truly human “norm” of existence, lost in the modern world, and a hero who meets this “norm.” But the peculiarity of the embodiment of this author’s plan is that the “artistic ideal” of the individual turns out to be unattainable. It seems to fall into two parts, two main images - Oblomov and Stolz, which are depicted on the basis of the principle of antithesis.
The plot and composition of the novel Oblomov Roman Goncharov's "Oblomov" is strictly and clearly subordinated to the division of the Russian calendar into four seasons. The composition of Goncharov’s masterpiece speaks about this. The events taking place there begin in the spring of May 1st. Summer brings the most stormy action - the love of Oblomov and Olga.
There is no doubt that in order to solve the artistic task that Goncharov set for himself in the novel “Oblomov”, what was needed was not just a beautiful and intelligent woman, but a woman whose image would be as close as possible to the ideal. The author did just that: Olga, in her development, represents the highest ideal that only a Russian artist could evoke from that Russian life.
Andrei Stolts is Oblomov’s closest friend; they grew up together and carried their friendship through life. It remains a mystery how such dissimilar people, with such different views on life, could maintain deep affection.
Oblomov's personality is far from ordinary, although other characters treat him with slight disrespect. For some reason, they read him as almost inferior in comparison to them. This was precisely the task of Olga Ilyinskaya - to awaken Oblomov, to force him to show himself as an active person.
The image of Oblomov in Russian literature closes the series of “superfluous” people. An inactive contemplator, incapable of active action, at first glance really seems incapable of a great and bright feeling, but is this really so? There is no place for global and cardinal changes in the life of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov.
Roman I.A. Goncharov's "Oblomov" permeates the pathos of social criticism. The collision of two heroes (Ilya Oblomov and Andrei Stolts), two opposing lifestyles can be viewed in a broad social sense.
A person is shaped in many ways by childhood. Hence the meaning of “Oblomov’s Dream” in the novel. It is no coincidence that Goncharov called it “the overture of the entire novel.” Yes, this is the key to the whole work, the solution to all its secrets.
Mini-essay “Oblomov and his entourage” Author: Goncharov I.A. Oblomov is a backwardness that interferes with historical progress. Oblomov is sincere, gentle, and has not lost his conscience; subjectively he is incapable of doing evil. The storyline depicts the spiritual desolation of the hero, there is lordship and slavery in him - he is a slave to his sofa, laziness.
The image of Oblomov is the greatest creation of I. A. Goncharov. This type of hero, in general, is not new to Russian literature. We meet him both in the comedy "Lazy" by Fonvizin, and in Gogol's "Marriage". But its most complete and multifaceted embodiment was the image of Oblomov from Goncharov’s novel of the same name.
The first impression that the hero of I. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” makes on the reader is the impression of laziness, immobility, and boredom.
“Oblomov’s Dream” is a special chapter of the novel. “Oblomov’s Dream” tells the story of Ilya Ilyich’s childhood and his influence on Oblomov’s character. “Oblomov’s Dream” shows his native village of Oblomovka, his family, and the way of life according to which they lived on Oblomov’s estate. Oblomovka is the name of two villages owned by the Oblomovs.
The reasons that prompted Oblomov to write a letter to Olga. How Oblomov appears to readers in his letter.
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.
Goncharov began writing the novel Oblomov in 1846. At this time, Russia was a feudal-serf country. The oppression of the serfs had reached its limits.
The novel "Oblomov" was created on the eve of the peasant reform, in 1859. The main idea is to show the harmful effects of serfdom on the lives of peasants and landowners. We see this very influence in the example of one landowner Oblomov.
Did Oblomov ever have a moment of clarity in his life? Yes, and not just once. Love brought him back to life. The love of two women - one: sophisticated, tender, graceful, and the other: economical, simple-minded, sincere. Who can understand Ilya Oblomov?
The image of Oblomov is the greatest artistic generalization, embodying typical character traits generated by Russian patriarchal landowner life.
“Oblomov’s Dream” is a magnificent episode from Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”. In my opinion, the dream is nothing more than an attempt by Goncharov himself to understand the essence of Oblomov and Oblomovism.
A miracle happened: a little man was born. Who will he be? Will it benefit society? Will he be happy? Nobody knows this yet... A miracle happened: they grew a Human from a little man. What was inherent by nature: a heart of gold, the ability to experience strong feelings, kindness, but at the same time laziness - remained.
What are Stolz's life ideals? (based on the novel “Oblomov” by I.A. Goncharov) Author: Goncharov I.A. In I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov,” Andrei Stolts is the antipode of Oblomov. Every feature of Stolz is a blatant protest against the qualities of Oblomov. The first loves an active and interesting life, the second often falls into apathy, he is like a snail that is afraid to get out of its shell.
Problems of the novel by I. A. Goncharov “Oblomov” Author: Goncharov I.A. “Oblomov” was published in “Otechestvennye zapiski” starting in January 1859, in parts, for four months and caused a stormy response from critics. In Dobrolyubov’s article “What is Oblomovism?” The problems of the novel were considered from a sociological perspective, Oblomov’s character was interpreted as the embodiment of all the class vices of the nobility, while the philosophical aspect of “Oblomov” was left without consideration.
Plot antitheses in the novel "Oblomov" Author: Goncharov I.A. 1. Oblomov - Stolz. 2. Oblomov - Olga Ilyinskaya Stolz is not a positive hero of the novel, his activities sometimes resemble the activities of Sudbinsky from Stolz’s despised St. Petersburg entourage of Oblomov: work, work, work again, like a machine, without rest, entertainment and hobbies.
Oblomov is contrasted in the novel by Andrei Stolts. Initially, he was thought of by Goncharov as a positive hero, worthy of Oblomov’s antipode. The author dreamed that over time many “Stoltsevs will appear under Russian names.”
An essay on the topic of whether Oblomov and Stolz, the main characters of Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov,” should be re-educated. The author comes to the conclusion that his lifestyle is a purely personal matter and re-educating Oblomov and Stolz is not only useless, but also inhumane.
(According to one of the works of Russian literature of the 19th century) ... at the basis of Oblomov’s nature lay a pure and good principle, filled with deep sympathy for everything that was good and that only opened up and responded to the call of this ... heart.
