Stolz's attitude towards Olga quotes. Essay “Test of love in the novel “Oblomov” with a description of the image of Stolz

The speaker with the assessment was O. liberal criticism In the 60s, in essence, she usually obscured the serfdom content of Oblomov’s image, openly polemicizing with revolutionary democracy. Against the danger of the peasant revolution, both parties of the landowner class - liberal and serfdom - acted as a united front. A.V. Druzhinin eg in the article, dedicated to the novel(“Library for Reading”, 1859, XII), created a noble apology for Oblomov and O. A veiled polemic with Dobrolyubov runs through his entire article. Druzhinin polemicizes with people with “overly practical aspirations,” with people who despise O. In Druzhinin’s interpretation, O. is a “childishly affectionate Russian soul,” he is characterized by purity of morals, a knightly ability for devotion, Russian gentleness, “a decisive inability to some unclean thing." Oblomov’s optimism and humanity are contrasted by Druzhinin to the revolutionary “practical disorder” and “moral illness” of the “sinners of our time,” by which the critic meant revolutionary democrats. As we see, the Druzhinin interpretation of O. is characterized by camouflage political analysis abstract categories of moral order. The meaning of this disguise is to emphasize Oblomov’s gentleness as the personification of the “Russian people.”

14. Stolz and Olga Ilyinskaya in the novel “Oblomov”. The theme of love and marriage in the novel.

Love permeates the entire work of Goncharov, filling it different colors, revealing the most unexpected traits of the hero, awakening in them a thirst for action and knowledge. Goncharov reveals to us the most diverse facets of love and the concepts of family and marriage associated with it. Love helps to reveal the most unexpected traits in the characters' characters, traits, without which it was impossible to form a complete impression of them, because otherwise it would be erroneous. For example, the character of the adult Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. Second, no less significant function love story in the novel - contrast. IN this work two collective images, who are complete opposites when comparing characters or appearance - they both pass the test of love. Both Oblomov and Stolz are connected by the thread of their relationship with Olga. The great significance of the theme of love is that it gives the author the opportunity to raise other, no less deep and interesting problems . For example, the question of an ideal family.

Let's move on to specific images of the novel, starting with the relationship between the three main characters: Oblomov, Olga and Stolz. The first couple is Oblomov and Olga. Their love was like a fairy tale. Oblomov and Olga lived in some kind of imaginary world, mythical world. But when faced with a cruel reality, this world shattered and broke into thousands of pieces, and with it love. Or maybe not love. Maybe Stolz is right when he says that it was not love for Olga, but only a preparation for true love, future love. But then this is also true for Oblomov. He, too, does not believe in a living person, but rather in an invented image. After all, if he had fully realized Olga’s nature, it would never have occurred to him to place her in his future family world.

For Olga's love is first of all a duty. “Feeling” and “deed” in her are, in their own way, more tightly fused than in Stolz’s character. And she herself does not deny this. In her relationship with Oblomov, she liked the role of “a guiding star, a bright ray” that guides Ilya Ilyich. And it is no coincidence that when they talk about the love of Olga and Oblomov, they note the Christian beginning in her image. Even Oblomov himself sees in her an angel who came to save him, to lead him to the light. He admires the sublimity of her soul. She, like a saint, is trying to save Oblomov’s soul from this darkness to which he doomed her. And all her love is subordinated to this feeling, a sense of duty. But her hopes are not destined to come true . Her love is spiritual, but selfish: she loves her efforts and efforts in Oblomov, she loves the future Oblomov, whom they will create together with Stolz. Oblomov cannot become like that, and this is not his fault. He is a little tired of Olga's restless nature. For a while she really changed, but finally entered into new life I couldn't. Stolz is probably right that Olga did not love Oblomov himself, but the image that she created in her imagination.

However, Goncharova’s heroine still finds a hero, worthy of love and respect. Stolz becomes this person for her. Olga marries Stolz. It was he who managed to ensure that in Olga’s soul common sense and reason finally defeated the feeling that tormented her. It should be noted that his understanding of love, so logical, is precisely the most contradictory. He, like Oblomov, sees in her a calm, long-lasting feeling, but not left to chance, but controlled. Stolz is a rather dry rationalist; he needs a woman equal in views and strength. But sometimes Olga begins to feel inexplicable melancholy. Stolz’s mechanical, active life does not provide those opportunities for the movement of the soul that were in her feelings for Oblomov. Maybe this is a longing for the happiness that she once experienced while living in ideal world with Oblomov, longing for feelings that Stolz cannot give her.

Another couple is Agafya Matveevna Pshenitsyna and Oblomov . Their life is an idyllic Oblomovka. Moreover, it suits both of them, or rather, makes them happy. Agafya Matveevna is one of those people who give everything free of charge to their loved one. She accepts Oblomov for who he is and does not try to change him. For her, love is an opportunity to give, it is a constant concern. Oblomov, in turn, brought purity and nobility of his soul into her life. He needed not equal love, but maternal love (the kind that Agafya Pshenitsyna gave him). Of course, their marriage is not ideal, but their love is happy. Agafya Matveevna was the woman thanks to whom Oblomov put on his robe again and found his human happiness and peace. Each of the heroes understands love in his own way: for Oblomov it is an idyll of endless tenderness and tranquility, for Olga it is duty, for Stolz it is a rational, logical feeling, and for Agafya Pshenitsyna it is the possibility of dedication, sacrifice for the sake of a loved one, and they are all right.

Stolz is the antipode of Oblomov, a positive type of practical figure. In the image of Sh., according to Goncharov’s plan, such opposite qualities, as, on the one hand, sobriety, prudence, efficiency, knowledge of people, a practical materialist; on the other hand, spiritual subtlety, aesthetic sensitivity, high spiritual aspirations, poetry. The image of Sh., according to Goncharov, was supposed to embody a new positive type of Russian progressive figure. The ideal of Sh.’s life is unceasing and meaningful work, this is “the image, content, element and purpose of life.” Sh. defends this ideal in a dispute with Oblomov, calling the latter’s utopian ideal “Oblomovism” and considering it harmful in all spheres of life.

Unlike Oblomov, Sh. stands the test of love. It meets the ideal of Olga Ilyinskaya: Sh. combines masculinity, fidelity, moral purity, universal knowledge and practical acumen, allowing him to emerge victorious in all life trials. Goncharov himself was not entirely satisfied with the image, believing that Sh. was “weak, pale”, that “the idea is too bare from him.”

ABOUT love and marriage: Love in the novel “Oblomov,” as in other Russian novels, plays a huge role. In the novel “Oblomov,” love revives the main character and brings happiness. She makes him suffer - with the departure of love, Oblomov’s desire to live disappears.

The feeling that arises between Olga and Oblomov: love comes to him and absorbs him completely. This feeling ignites his soul, feeding on the accumulated energy during hibernation and looking for a way out tenderness. It is new to Oblomov’s soul, which is accustomed to burying all feelings at the bottom of consciousness, so love revives the soul to a new life. For Oblomov, this feeling is burning love - passion for a woman who managed to change him so much. With the departure of this love, Oblomov does not find anything to occupy the emptiness in his soul, and again spends whole days sleeping and lying idle on his sofa in St. Petersburg, in the house of Agafya Pshenitsyna. Over time, having become accustomed to the measured life of his mistress, our hero will subdue the impulses of his heart and begin to be content with little. Again, all his desires will be limited to sleep, food, and rare empty conversations with Agafya Matveevna. Pshenitsyna is contrasted by the author with Olga: the first is an excellent housewife, kind, faithful wife, but there is no high soul in her; Having plunged into a simple semi-rural life in Pshenitsyna’s house, Ilya Ilyich seemed to have found himself in the old Oblomovka. Lazily and slowly dying in his soul, Oblomov falls in love with Agafya Matveevna. And Agafya Matveevna? Is this what her love is like? No, she is selfless, devoted; in this feeling, Agafya is ready to drown, to give all her strength, all the fruits of her labors to Oblomov. It seems that her whole life was spent waiting for a person whom she could devotedly love and take care of him as if she were her own son. Oblomov is exactly like this: he is lazy - this allows him to be looked after like a child; he is kind, gentle - it touches female soul, accustomed to male rudeness and ignorance.

The relationship between Pshenitsyna and Oblomov is quite natural, close to life, while the marriage of Olga and Stolz is utopian. Oblomov turns out to be closer to reality than the realist Stolz. Olga and Stolz live in Crimea, all things - both necessary for work and romantic trinkets - find a place in their home. They are surrounded by an ideal balance even in love: passion is drowned in marriage, but not extinguished. But Stolz doesn’t even suspect what riches are still hidden in Olga’s soul. Olga outgrew Stolz spiritually because she did not persistently strive for the goal, but saw different roads and chose which one to follow. She tried to understand and love Oblomov’s life, but she failed. Now, in Crimea, Olga feels in her life the features of Oblomov’s idyll, and this worries her, she does not want to live like that. But the love of Olga and Stolz is the love of two developing people who help each other, and they must find a way out in order to continue to truly search for their own path.

My favorite "Oblomov": Family life of Olga and Stolz October 30th, 2014

I really love the writer I.A. Goncharov, author of three famous novels starting with the letter "O". In a sense, he is my teacher. I am impressed by the psychologism of his stories. The love with which he describes his heroes. Sometimes, the subtlest sense of humor. Wisdom and observation. But most of all I learn from him...kindness. Kindness and total acceptance human characteristics. Without condemnation, humiliating comparison, with fatherly love and compassion. It's wonderful when an author writes like that! This is probably why I so want to return to his images and find answers to my questions in their behavior...

I fell in love with the novel “Oblomov” back in school. This is the merit of our teacher, who, on the eve of studying the work, called the parents to allow the children to see its film adaptation. The film was broadcast at night, and I patiently watched TV until half past two. But then I gave up and read the novel with enthusiasm. I was curious to know how it would all end... :)

In high school we wrote comparative characteristics - Oblomov and Stolz, Oblomov and Olga... Teachers cannot do without comparison. They really want their children to learn to think independently and choose the best. And I also critically compared and chose. Of course, I didn’t like Oblomov lazily lying on the sofa. Stolz seemed too pedantic. Olga is proud. I wanted all the characters in the novel to be ideal. But none of the teachers told us then that this imperfection has its own beauty. And your possible perfection...

Last year I opened Oblomov for one purpose. I wanted to understand which way was better. A priest I know wrote that since ancient times Christianity has recognized two spiritual paths - active and contemplative. There was more than enough activity in me, but the contemplative side then seemed unknown and therefore beckoned. And, I don’t know why, I decided that the expressive characters of Oblomov and Stolz would give me a hint.

But when I started reading, the vivid images of the characters captivated me and captivated me. I fell in love and felt each of them separately. And she experienced the drama of their relationship in a completely different way than in her youth. I discovered a lot of beauty, touchingness and wonder in them...

I guess over time I become more contemplative. Because now it doesn’t always seem appropriate to me to analyze and compare, as we were taught at school. I started to like just admiring. Just re-read consonant fragments of books as they are, and dissolve in their language, atmosphere, spirit... Where I am, where I am not - the boundaries are erased. Enjoying beauty, wisdom, high example- this is the answer...

And I want to share this beauty with you, my friends. In the next few journal entries I will post the most interesting and “tasty” (in my personal opinion) fragments of “Oblomov”. I hope that at least a small part of my pleasure will touch your hearts. Or maybe it will make someone want to re-read Russian classics.

***
Family life of Olga and Stolz

“The years passed, but they did not get tired of living. Silence came, the gusts subsided; The curvatures of life became clear, they were endured patiently and cheerfully, and life never ceased for them.

Olga had already been brought up to a strict understanding of life; two existences, hers and Andrei’s, merged into one channel; There could be no rampant wild passions: everything was harmony and silence.

It would seem to fall asleep in this well-deserved peace and bliss, as the inhabitants of calm bliss, meeting three times a day, yawning during an ordinary conversation, falling into a dull slumber, languishing from morning to evening, that everything has been changed, renegotiated and redone, that there is nothing more to say and to do and that “such is life in the world.”

On the outside, everything was done with them as with others. They got up, although not at dawn, but early; they loved to sit for a long time over tea, sometimes they even seemed to be lazily silent, then they went to their own corners or worked together, had lunch, went to the fields, played music... just like everyone else, just as Oblomov dreamed...

Only there was no drowsiness or despondency among them; They spent their days without boredom and apathy; there was no sluggish look, no words; their conversation never ended; it was often heated.

And their silence was sometimes a pensive happiness, which Oblomov dreamed of alone, or mental work alone on the endless material asked of each other...

Often they were plunged into silent wonder at the ever-new and brilliant beauty of nature. Their sensitive souls could not get used to this beauty: the earth, the sky, the sea - everything awakened their feelings, and they sat silently next to each other, looking with one eye and one soul at this creative brilliance and understanding each other without words.

They did not greet the morning with indifference; could not stupidly plunge into the darkness of a warm, starry, southern night. They were awakened by the eternal movement of thought, the eternal irritation of the soul and the need to think together, feel, speak!..

But what was the subject of these heated debates, quiet conversations, readings, long walks?

The question is what will he do in family life, it had already settled down and resolved itself. He had to involve her even in his work and business life, because in a life without movement she was suffocating, as if without air.

Any construction, affairs on her or Oblomov’s estate, company transactions - nothing was done without her knowledge or participation. Not a single letter was sent without being read to her, no thought, much less execution, passed her by; she knew everything, and everything interested her because it interested him.

At first he did this because it was impossible to hide from her: a letter was written, a conversation took place with an attorney, with some contractors - in front of her, in front of her eyes; then he began to continue this out of habit, and finally it turned into a necessity for him too.

Her remark, advice, approval or disapproval became an inevitable verification for him: he saw that she understood exactly the same as he, she understood, she reasoned no worse than him... Zakhar was offended by such ability in his wife, and many are offended - and Stolz was happy!

And reading and learning are the eternal nourishment of thought, its endless development! Olga was jealous of every book or magazine article that was not shown to her, she was seriously angry or offended when he did not deign to show her something, in his opinion, too serious, boring, incomprehensible to her, she called it pedantry, vulgarity, backwardness, scolded him “ an old German wig." Lively, irritable scenes took place between them about this.

She was angry, and he laughed, she was even more angry and then only made peace when he stopped joking and shared his thought, knowledge or reading with her. It ended with the fact that everything that he needed or wanted to know or read, she also needed.

He did not force scientific technology on her, so that later, with the stupidest of boasts, he could be proud of his “learned wife.” If one word had escaped her speech, even a hint of this claim, he would have blushed more than if she had responded with a dull look of ignorance at something common in the field of knowledge, but not yet accessible to women. modern education question. He only wanted, and she wanted twice as much, so that there was nothing inaccessible - not to knowledge, but to her understanding.

He did not draw tables and numbers for her, but talked about everything, read a lot, without pedantically avoiding any economic theory, social or philosophical questions, he spoke with enthusiasm, passion: it was as if he was painting her an endless, living picture knowledge. Afterwards, the details disappeared from her memory, but the drawing never smoothed out in her receptive mind, the colors never disappeared, and the fire with which he illuminated the cosmos she created never went out.

He will tremble with pride and happiness when he notices how the spark of this fire glows in her eyes, how the echo of the thought conveyed to her sounds in speech, how this thought entered her consciousness and understanding, was processed in her mind and looks out from her words, not dry and stern, but with the brilliance of feminine grace, and especially if some fruitful drop from everything spoken, read, drawn, sank like a pearl to the bright bottom of her life.

As a thinker and as an artist, he wove a rational existence for her, and never before in his life had he been absorbed so deeply, neither during his studies, nor during those times. hard days, when he struggled with life, extricated himself from its twists and turns and grew stronger, tempering himself in the experiences of masculinity, as now, nursing this incessant, volcanic work of the spirit of his girlfriend!

How happy I am! - Stolz said to himself and dreamed in his own way, looking ahead to when the honey years of marriage had passed.

In the distance he smiled again new image, not selfish Olga, not passionately loving wife, not a mother-nanny, then fading into a colorless, not anyone necessary life, but something else, high, almost unprecedented...

He dreamed of the mother-creator and participant in the moral and public life a whole happy generation.

He fearfully wondered whether she would have enough will and strength... and hastily helped her to conquer life for herself as quickly as possible, to develop a reserve of courage for the battle with life - now, precisely, while they were both young and strong, while life spared them or its blows did not seem heavy while grief was drowning in love."

Introduction Features of the relationship between Olga and Stolz Why is the marriage and love of Olga and Stolz tragic? Conclusion

Introduction

Important storyline The novel “Oblomov” is the relationship between Olga Ilyinskaya and Andrei Ivanovich Stolts. They are bright, purposeful, active individuals who seem to be ideal for each other - their marriage seemed to be predetermined and logical from the first meeting with the characters. However, despite the similar characterization of Olga and Stolz in the novel “Oblomov” by Goncharov, the heroes, having lived together for several years, feel unhappy, unfulfilled and, in their own way, constrained by the bonds of marriage. The reasons for this lie in the fact that the girl considered marriage to be another step towards personal development, and the man saw it as a quiet haven where he could take a break from the bustle of the outside world.

Features of the relationship between Olga and Stolz

The relationship between Olga and Stolz begins with good friendship and mutual respect. A young girl is interested in an accomplished adult man who helps her learn more and more about the world around her and develop as a full-fledged intellectual.

personality. Stolz saw Olga as a grateful student; he liked that the girl admired him as a mentor and teacher.
It is Andrei Ivanovich who introduces Olga to his friend Oblomov, and then sincerely worries that the lovers have separated.

After the girl, having a hard time breaking up with Ilya Ilyich, left for Europe, Stolz, as a best friend, spends almost everything with her free time, gradually becoming enchanted by Olga not like interesting conversationalist and a student, but a woman, so he decides to propose to her. The girl happily agrees to marry the reliable, inspiring Andrei Ivanovich and, it would seem, a happy union awaits them between two personalities striving forward and supporting each other, but both heroes were not ready for a classic marriage, since they put completely different meanings into this concept.

Brought up in the family of a German burgher and a Russian noblewoman, Stolz from childhood absorbed the image of a woman guardian of the hearth - his mother, a gentle and sensual creature, experienced in the sciences and arts. Andrei Ivanovich’s ideal was a woman who, no matter what, would always take care of him, surround him with warmth and love, directing all of herself to the family - this is exactly what he expected from the bright, artistic Olga.

The girl did not want to limit herself to family and home, she did not want to live according to the usual scenario female destiny 19th century. Olga needed an inspiration and teacher who could endlessly satisfy her insatiable thirst for knowledge, while remaining sensual, emotional and loving person, that is, an almost ideal man.

Why is the marriage and love of Olga and Stolz tragic?

As a result of a misunderstanding between the spouses after several years of marriage, Stolz realizes that it is difficult for him to constantly reach out and conform. masculine ideal Olga, while the girl begins to suffer from her husband’s excessive rationality and sensual stinginess, remembering the dreamy and gentle Oblomov.
Between Olga and Stolz there is no love that was between Olga and Ilya Ilyich. Their relationship is built on friendship, mutual respect and duty, which replace true love between a man and a woman, and therefore are inferior and destructive for both characters.

Some researchers, analyzing the relationship between Olga and Stolz, point out that if Goncharov had described the fate of their marriage, it would undoubtedly have ended in divorce. And not only because Andrei Ivanovich is too rational and cannot give his wife all the love and sensuality that she valued in Oblomov, but because of their internal incompatibility and, as stated earlier, different visions family life. All his life, Stolz condemned “Oblomovism” with its calm and satiety, but unconsciously strove for it as the focus of that spiritual warmth and mutual understanding that he valued in his friend. And having married, Andrei Ivanovich seems to recreate the “hated” Oblomovka on his estate, where he lives with his wife and children, hoping to find peace and quiet happiness here.

Stolz simply changed the concepts, considering “Oblomovism” to be simply a new stage in his life, but Olga, whose nature strongly opposes any manifestations of “Oblomovism,” feels unhappy in the cage of family and marriage, remaining married to Andrei Ivanovich more out of duty than reason strong feelings. But her patience is not endless - as soon as her husband ceases to be an inspiration and authority for her, she will leave him, just as she left Oblomov.

Conclusion

Depicting the relationship between Olga and Stolz, the author wanted to show that a happy family impossible without mutual love, even if the spouses have common interests and similar characters. Comparing their marriage with the marriage of Oblomov and Pshenitsyna (which, although it led to the death of Ilya Ilyich, made the hero happy), Goncharov emphasized that true harmony in relationships is possible only when people have common life values and accept each other as they are.

Family and origin of Andrei Stolts

Unlike most of the main characters of the novel, Andrei Ivanovich Stolts was not a hereditary nobleman, like his father, Ivan Bogdanovich Stolts. Andrei Ivanovich received the title of nobleman much later, thanks to his hard work and diligence in the service, rising to the position of court councilor.

Andrei Ivanovich's father had German roots; about twenty years ago he left his homeland and went in search of better fate, which brought him from his native Saxony to the village of Verkhlevo. Here, not far from Oblomovka, Stolz was a manager and was also involved in teaching. Thanks to his hard work, he managed to significantly accumulate capital and get married successfully. His wife was a young girl from an impoverished noble family. Ivan Bogdanovich was pleased happy man in family life.

Dear readers! On our website you can familiarize yourself with the image of Olga Ilyinskaya in I. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”

Soon they had a son, who was named Andrei. The boy turned out to be capable of science, he easily mastered basic knowledge and actively took part in work at the factory and in the field, where he actively adopted his father’s knowledge in the field of agronomy.

The Stolts always lived modestly - the father saved money for his son and did not spend it on unnecessary things. According to the Oblomovites, the Stoltsy lived extremely poorly - their food was not high in fat, their diet included simple dishes.

Soon, Andrei’s father sent him to study at the university; his mother was very upset about the separation from her son. She was unable to meet him after graduating from university - the woman died. According to tradition, the father sends his son on a free voyage. For him as a German it was an everyday thing, which cannot be said about the local population, but since his mother was no longer alive at that time, there was no one to contradict Ivan Bogdanovich.

Education and upbringing of Andrei Stolts

From the first days, the upbringing of Andrei Ivanovich Stolts differed from the educational system traditionally accepted in society. Among the nobles, it was customary to pamper their children and take care of them in every possible way, but the father’s German roots do not give him the right to adhere to this model of education. From childhood, Ivan Bogdanovich tried to raise his son in such a way as to make it easier for him later life. He often went with his father to the factory and arable land, took Active participation in all preparatory work, which greatly upset his mother, who wanted to raise him in the classical traditions of the nobles.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the biography of Ivan Goncharov - a lifelong trilogy.

The father "accepted" his little son to work as a craftsman and paid him 10 rubles a month for his work. This was not a formality - Andrei Ivanovich really worked off this money and even signed in a special book about its receipt, like all Stolz’s employees.

This labor education soon brought his positive results- at the age of 14, Andrei Stolts was an absolutely independent boy and could travel to the city alone on behalf of his father. Andrei Ivanovich always carried out his father’s instructions exactly and never forgot anything.

Like all children, Andrei Stolts was an active and inquisitive child, he constantly took part in various pranks. However, such restlessness did not prevent Stolz from getting a good education. He learned the basics at home, and then studied at a boarding school organized by his father for local children. After graduating from the boarding school, Stolz continues his studies at the university.

Andrei Ivanovich, like the nobles, knew French and was trained musical literacy, after which he actively played the piano four hands with his mother. In addition, Andrei Ivanovich knew German.

Appearance of Andrey Stolts

Goncharov does not provide readers with a description of Andrei Ivanovich’s appearance during his childhood and youth. We meet Stolz during his maturity. Andrei Ivanovich is the same age as Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, but outwardly Stolz looks much younger than his age. The reason for this was his active way of life. At thirty years old, Andrei Ivanovich was a well-built man with an athletic build. There was nothing superfluous in his physique; in his build he resembled an English horse, since he was similar in muscles and bones.

His eyes were green, there was something childish in them, they were expressive.

His skin was dark. This is where the meager description of Andrei Ivanovich Stolts ends.

Personality characteristics

What is most striking about Stolz is his hard work and passion for learning. While still a child, he actively explores the world and tries to adopt all his father’s knowledge.

Andrei Ivanovich spends a lot of time traveling - in this way he not only has fun and relaxes, Stolz sees in his trips an opportunity to exchange knowledge and learn business experience from foreign acquaintances. Stolz is constantly studying something, reading various books.

Andrei Ivanovich does not neglect secular society, he can often be seen in the light.

Andrei Ivanovich is an honest and sincere person, but he is completely devoid of romanticism. Stolz doesn’t even know how to dream; he is a down-to-earth, practical person. He retained his childlike vivacity and activity -

Andrey Ivanovich is constantly busy with something. Stolz knows how to value his time and spend it usefully. Andrei Ivanovich knows how to rationally distribute his time, thanks to this he manages to do a lot of things and be on time everywhere. Despite such external rigidity and pragmatism, Andrei Ivanovich is not devoid of the ability to empathize and compassion, but he is not used to demonstrating his feelings in front of people. Andrei Ivanovich is a very restrained person, he knows how to manage his feelings and is never a hostage to them.

Stolz's life is not as carefree as it might seem at first glance, but he is not used to complaining to anyone or blaming anyone else for his failures - he associates all failures primarily with personal shortcomings. Andrey Ivanovich - strong personality, he is not used to retreating from difficulties and makes every effort to overcome them.

He never got lost in difficult situations– Stolz is guided in life common sense– it’s difficult to unsettle him.

Stolz loves order in everything - he has his own place for all his writing instruments, papers and books. Andrei Ivanovich always puts his things “in their place” and nothing else.

Andrei Ivanovich undoubtedly has determination and perseverance, he is able to work hard to achieve his goal.

Stolz knows how to evaluate his merits. He doesn't care much about what people say about him. Andrey Ivanovich is an open person. He willingly meets new people and is ready to maintain friendly relations with his acquaintances.

Ilya Oblomov and Andrey Stolts

Ilya Ilyich Oblomov and Andrei Stolts have been friends since childhood. They grew up in neighboring villages, so they knew each other since childhood. After Andrei Ivanovich’s father opened a boarding school, the communication between Andrei Ivanovich and Ilya Ilyich moved to a new level - during their studies together they became close friends, despite the difference in character and origin. Andrei Ivanovich often carried out Oblomov’s tasks out of pity for his friend - the lazy Ilya often neglected to complete tasks, could not force himself to learn anything - most of the tasks were carried out by Stolz. He did this not for selfish purposes - he was guided solely by friendly feelings and the desire to help his comrade.

From time to time, Andrei Ivanovich comes to his friend’s rented apartment and tries to stir him up. On one of these visits, Stolz decides to radically change the life of his friend - he forcibly draws him into the cycle of social life. Complaints about Oblomov’s fatigue touch Stolz, but he still purposefully goes towards his goal. Andrei Ivanovich does the unthinkable - he successfully agitates Oblomov to go abroad with him and even helps him organize training camps, but the planned trip does not take place - Oblomov, in love, decides to stay with the object of his adoration, and not join his friend. Offended by Oblomov’s apathy, Stolz does not communicate with him for some time, but minds his own business. At the next meeting, Stolz, without a shadow of resentment, comes to visit his friend and discovers that he was again covered by a wave of Oblomovism, but, this time, he is no longer so actively trying to pull Oblomov out of his swamp of laziness.

Despite such significant differences in character, temperament and way of life, Stolz and Oblomov maintain their friendship. There are two explanations for this paradox. The first is that their friendship began in their childhood years, and the second is that they both see first and foremost in a person positive traits character. Based on this, Stolz notices not Oblomov’s laziness and apathy, but Ilya Ilyich’s good disposition.

From time to time, Andrei Ivanovich takes care of his friend’s affairs - since he cannot overcome his laziness and organize affairs on his estate on his own, but only hires people to act as managers who do not neglect to take advantage of Oblomov’s gullibility and lack of education in matters of housekeeping in their favor.

Despite all the efforts of Stolz, he never managed to pull his friend out of the swamp of Oblomovism. Ilya Ilyich began cohabiting with the owner of the rented home and soon they had a son, who was named after Stoltz - Andrey. After the death of Ilya Ilyich, Stolz takes his son into custody and takes care of Oblomovka’s affairs until he comes of age. little Andrey.

Andrey Stolts and Olga Ilyinskaya

Olga Ilyinskaya and Andrei Stolts were old acquaintances. The significant age difference did not initially allow them to build any relationship other than friendly ones. Andrei Ivanovich perceived Olga, despite the fact that the girl was 20 years old, as a child (at that time Stolz was 30). The girl herself has sympathy for Stolz, but does not dare to take the first step.

Andrei Ivanovich unintentionally becomes the cause of the great tragedy in the girl’s life - one evening he introduces Olga to his friend Ilya Oblomov. Stolz’s ignorance of Olga as a woman became the reason for the romance between Oblomov and Ilyinskaya. Despite the sincerity of the lovers’ feelings and the seriousness of their intentions, things did not go beyond a secret engagement - Oblomov and Ilyinskaya parted.

Olga Sergeevna goes abroad, where she meets Stolz, who is unaware of her unsuccessful romance. Andrei Ivanovich often visits the Ilyinskys - he brings Olga flowers and books, and then quickly leaves to work.

Ilya Ilyich Oblomov and Olga Ilyinskaya, the heroes of Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov,” understand the meaning of life, love, and family happiness in different ways.
Oblomov was born in Oblomovka - a “blessed” corner of the earth. He was raised by nature, the care and affection of his mother, and his nanny’s fairy tales, which later became his dreams. Oblomov - Difficult person. He didn't like social life, believed that in this pursuit of a career and money a person is lost.
“Why am I more guilty than them, lying at home and not infecting my head with threes and jacks?” - Ilya Ilyich asked Stolz. And while lying down he dreamed. Sometimes imagining himself as some kind of liberator whom everyone worships, sometimes thinking about the quiet family happiness with my wife, children and friends.
Having met and fallen in love with Olga, Oblomov gave her his whole self. “He gets up at seven o’clock, reads, carries books somewhere. There is no sleep, no fatigue, no boredom on his face. Even colors appeared on him, there was a sparkle in his eyes, something like courage or at least self-confidence. You can’t see the robe on him.” He was afraid of causing her inconvenience, he idolized her.
And what about Olga? How did she manage to “wake up” Oblomov? Having agreed with Stolz, she took the life of Ilya Ilyich into her own hands. On the one hand, she liked him. In general, Oblomov’s “dovelike tenderness” attracted people; he was an interesting conversationalist, even without knowing latest gossip without reading “fashionable” books. But, on the other hand, she liked the very idea that it was she, young and inexperienced girl, will bring back to life a person like Oblomov. “She will show him a goal, make him love again everything that he has stopped loving, and Stolz will not recognize him when he returns. And she will do all this miracle, so timid, silent, whom no one has listened to until now, who has not yet begun to live! She is the culprit of this transformation!”
Oblomov was sincere and noble in love. Knowing himself, Olga’s inexperience, he writes a letter and opens her eyes to the mistake, asks her not to make it: “Your present love is not real love, but the future. This is only an unconscious need to love...” But Olga, changing the meaning of the letter, speaks of Oblomov’s fear of misfortune. She does not deny that anyone can fall out of love or fall in love with another person; she is not able to follow a person if there is a risk in doing so. To confirm these words, Olga leaves Oblomov, realizing that his “awakening” is temporary, and that she cannot withstand “Oblomovism.”
In relations with Oblomov, Olga was, as it were, the head. Having chosen Stolz, she is trying to find a husband of equal rights, or, even worse for Olga, a husband who is trying to subjugate her. At first, Olga finds happiness in Stolz, but as they get to know each other, she begins to understand that there is nothing special in life with him, that she is the same as others.
How does Stolz react to this? This young man is undoubtedly similar to his father, who tried to make him a man who understands not feelings, but actions. Stolz lives by reason, not demanding anything supernatural from life. “He walked firmly, cheerfully; I lived on a budget, trying to spend every day, like every ruble...”
All the time he sees in Olga a child whom he amuses and teaches. But she is changing, and, trying to understand what is now the meaning of life for her, Stolz falls in love with Olga.
Having learned about the affair with Oblomov, he sighs with relief: “My God, if I had known that this was about Oblomov, would I have suffered so much!”
Having married Olga, Stolz finds happiness. Now he has everything. But Olga becomes more and more disappointed every day. She knows that there will be nothing new, and more and more often she indulges in memories of Oblomov. Olga asks herself: “Have you really completed the circle of life?” Life goals Stolz has boundaries, and, having learned about the torment of his wife, he answers her: “We are not Titans with you... we will not go... to a daring struggle with rebellious issues, we will not accept their challenge, we will bow our heads and humbly go through difficult times ...”
Oblomov finds happiness in the house of Agafya Matveevna, which became a second Oblomovka for him. He is ashamed of such a life, he understands that he lived it in vain, but it is too late to change anything.
The love of Oblomov and Olga was doomed from the very beginning.
Oblomov’s feelings were sincere, and Olga’s feelings showed consistent calculation. Olga tried to change Ilya Ilyich, but he needed a different feeling that connected him with his beloved Oblomovka, where the meaning of life fits into thoughts about food, sleep, and idle conversations. He needed care, warmth, requiring nothing in return, and therefore he became attached to his mistress as to a fulfilled dream of returning.
Although Oblomov is the first to understand the dissimilarity of their characters, it is Olga who breaks the relationship between them. In the last conversation, Olga tells Ilya Ilyich that she loved the future Oblomov. Assessing the relationship between Oblomov and Olga, Dobrolyubov wrote: “Olga left Oblomov when she stopped believing in him; she will leave Stolz too if she stops believing in him.”
There are also many Stoltzes in our lives, who almost always find their happiness, but there are also many people like Oblomov and Olga, because the questions “How to live?” and “Why live?” They have been tormented, are tormented and will continue to be tormented for more than one generation.
