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 full acceptance of 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 of what he will do in family life has 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 answered with a dull look of ignorance to a question that was common in the field of knowledge, but not yet accessible to modern female education. 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 issues, he spoke with enthusiasm, passion: it was as if he was painting her an endless, living picture of 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 in those difficult days when he struggled with life, extricated himself from its twists and turns and grew stronger, tempering himself in experiences of masculinity, as now, nursing this incessant, volcanic work of the spirit of his friend!

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, a new image smiled at him again, not the selfish Olga, not a passionately loving wife, not a mother-nanny, then withering away in a colorless, useless life, but something else, lofty, almost unprecedented...

He dreamed of a mother who was the creator and participant in the moral and social life of an entire 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."

The characters of the main characters in Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” are portrayed exceptionally correctly and talentedly by the author. If the artist’s task is to snatch and capture the essence of life that is inaccessible to the understanding of the average person, then the great Russian writer coped with it brilliantly. His main character, for example, personifies an entire social phenomenon, called “Oblomovism” in his honor. No less worthy of attention is the phenomenal friendship of Oblomov and Stolz, two antipodes, who, it would seem, should have irreconcilably argued with each other or even despised each other, as often happens in the communication of completely different people. However, Goncharov goes against stereotypes, connecting the antagonists with strong friendship. Throughout the entire novel, observing the relationship between Oblomov and Stolz is not only necessary, but also interesting for the reader. The collision of two life positions, two worldviews - this is the main conflict in Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”.

The differences between Oblomov and Stolz are not difficult to find. Firstly, his appearance catches your eye: Ilya Ilyich is a portly gentleman with soft features, plump hands, and slow gestures. His favorite clothing is a spacious robe that does not restrict movement, as if protecting and warming a person. Stolz is fit and slender. Constant activity and business acumen characterize his practical nature, so his gestures are bold and his reactions are quick. He is always dressed appropriately to move in the light and make the right impression.

Secondly, they have different upbringings. If little Ilyusha was groomed and cherished by his parents, nannies and other inhabitants of Oblomovka (he grew up as a pampered boy), then Andrei was brought up in strictness, his father taught him how to run a business, leaving him to make his own way. Stolz, as a result, did not have enough parental affection, which he was looking for in his friend’s house. Oblomov, on the contrary, was too kindly treated, his parents spoiled him: he was not fit for service or for the work of a landowner (taking care of the estate and its profitability).

Thirdly, their attitude to life differs. Ilya Ilyich does not like fuss, does not waste effort on pleasing society or at least wedging into it. Many people condemn him for laziness, but is it laziness? I think not: he is a nonconformist who is honest to himself and to the people around him. A nonconformist is a person who defends his right to behave differently from what is customary in his contemporary society. Oblomov had the courage and fortitude to silently, calmly adhere to his position and go his own way, without wasting his time on trifles. His demeanor reveals a rich spiritual life, which he does not display on a social display. Stolz lives in this showcase, because hanging around in good society always brings benefits to the businessman. We can say that Andrei had no other choice, because he is not a gentleman, his father earned capital, but no one will leave the villages to him as an inheritance. From childhood it was instilled in him that he had to earn his own living, so Stolz adapted to the circumstances, developing hereditary qualities: perseverance, hard work, social activity. But if he is so successful by modern standards, why does Stolz need Oblomov? From his father, he inherited an obsession with business, the limitations of a practical person, which he felt, and therefore subconsciously reached out to the spiritually rich Oblomov.

They were drawn to the opposite, feeling a lack of certain qualities of nature, but were unable to adopt good qualities from each other. None of them could make Olga Ilyinskaya happy: with both one and the other she felt dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, this is a fact of life: people rarely change in the name of love. Oblomov tried, but still remained faithful to his principles. Stolz, too, was only enough for courtship, and then the routine of living together began. Thus, the similarity between Oblomov and Stolz was revealed in love: they both failed to build happiness.

In these two images, Goncharov reflected the contradictory trends in society of that time. The nobility is the support of the state, but its individual representatives cannot take an active part in its fate, if only because it is vulgar and petty for them. They are gradually being replaced by people who have gone through a harsh school of life, the more skillful and greedy Stolts. They do not have the spiritual component that is needed for any useful work in Russia. But even apathetic landowners will not save the situation. Apparently, the author believed that the fusion of these extremes, a kind of golden mean, was the only way to achieve the well-being of Russia. If we look at the novel from this angle, it turns out that the friendship of Oblomov and Stolz is a symbol of the unification of different social forces for a common goal.

“Oblomov, a nobleman by birth, a collegiate secretary by rank, has been living in St. Petersburg for twelve years without a break” (1, V). “Ilya Ilyich’s lying down was neither a necessity, like that of a sick person or like a person who wants to sleep, nor an accident, like that of someone who is tired, nor a pleasure, like that of a lazy person: it was his normal state” (1.1 ). “Stolz is the same age as Oblomov: and he is already over thirty years old... He is constantly on the move...” (2, II) “Stolz was only half German, according to his father; his mother was Russian; he professed the Orthodox faith; his natural speech was Russian...” (2.1) “He walked firmly, cheerfully; lived according to a budget, trying to spend every day, like every ruble, with every minute, never dozing control of the time spent, labor, strength of soul and heart. It seems that he controlled both sorrows and joys by the movement of his hands, the steps of his feet, or how he dealt with bad and good weather” (2, II).

“He kept getting ready and preparing to start life, he kept drawing in his mind the pattern of his future; but with every year that flashed over his head, he had to change and discard something in this pattern. Life in his eyes was divided into two halves: one consisted of work and boredom - these were synonyms for him; the other - from peace and peaceful fun” (1, V). “And he himself kept walking and walking stubbornly along the chosen road. We didn’t see him thinking about anything painfully and painfully; apparently, he was not consumed by the remorse of a weary heart; He was not sick in soul, he never got lost in complex, difficult or new circumstances, but approached them as if he were former acquaintances, as if he were living a second time, passing through familiar places” (2, II). 1. Oblomov has been living in one city for more than 12 years, and his main occupation is lying down; Stolz is “constantly on the move.” Oblomov was still just getting ready and preparing to start life, Stolz “kept walking and walking stubbornly along his chosen path.” Oblomov was just creating in his imagination a picture of his future life; Stolz did everything thoughtfully and confidently, “as if he was living a second time.” 2. Oblomov and Stolz are peers, belong to the same social stratum.

Conclusion. The author characterizes Stolz as a bright, attractive personality; If Oblomov is lazy, inactive, good-natured, good-natured, sensitive, capable of emotional impulse, indecisive, then Stolz is active, active, kind, benevolent, focused on his goal, immersed in thought, prudent, calculating, and quickly makes decisions. The images of Oblomov and Stolz are contrasted both in terms of upbringing, and in relation to teaching, and in the perception of love... However, it cannot be said that the basis for the comparison of these images is a strict opposition. The author presented the reader with two bright individuals, whose inner world is not limited to only mutually exclusive characteristics. He draws the reader's attention to the fact that these heroes are brought together by their deep affection for their mother, memories of childhood and youth, and the ability to deeply and sincerely love.

	Oblomov	Stolz
origin	from a wealthy noble family with patriarchal traditions. his parents, like grandfathers, did nothing: serfs worked for them	from a poor family: his father (a Russified German) was the manager of a rich estate, his mother was an impoverished Russian noblewoman
upbringing	his parents taught him to be idle and quiet (they did not allow him to pick up a dropped item, get dressed, or pour water for himself); labor in the quarry was a punishment; it was believed that it bore the mark of slavery. there was a cult of food in the family, and after eating there was a sound sleep	his father gave him the education he received from his father: he taught him all the practical sciences, forced him to work early and sent away his son, who had graduated from the university. his father taught him that the main thing in life is money, rigor and accuracy
laid down program	Vegetation and sleep-passive beginning	energy and vigorous activity - active beginning
characteristic	The kind, lazy person is most concerned about his own peace. For him, happiness is complete peace and good food. he spends his life on the sofa without taking off his comfortable robe. does nothing, is not interested in anything. loves to withdraw into himself and live in the world of dreams and dreams he has created. The amazing childlike purity of his soul and introspection, the embodiment of gentleness and meekness worthy of a philosopher.	strong and smart, he is in constant activity and does not disdain the most menial work. Thanks to his hard work, willpower, patience and enterprise, he became a rich and famous man. a real “iron” character was formed. but in some ways he resembles a machine, a robot, his whole life is so clearly programmed, verified and calculated before us - a rather dry rationalist
test of love	he needs not equal love, but maternal love (the kind that Agafya Pshenitsyna gave him)	he needs a woman equal in views and strength (Ollga Ilyinskaya)

Despite the significant volume of the work, there are relatively few characters in the novel. This allows Goncharov to give detailed characteristics of each of them and draw up detailed psychological portraits. The female characters in the novel were no exception. In addition to psychologism, the author widely uses the technique of oppositions and the system of antipodes. Such couples can be called “Oblomov and Stolz” and “Olga Ilyinskaya and Agafya Matveevna Pshenitsyna.” The last two images are complete opposites of each other, their […]
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. Initially, the image of Stolz was conceived as a complete antipode to Oblomov. The author wanted to combine German prudence and the breadth of the Russian soul, but this plan was not destined to come true. As the novel developed, Goncharov realized more and more clearly that in these conditions it was simply [...]
The remarkable Russian prose writer of the second half of the 19th century, Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov, in his novel “Oblomov” reflected the difficult time of transition from one era of Russian life to another. Feudal relations and the estate type of economy were replaced by a bourgeois way of life. People's long-established views on life were crumbling. The fate of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov can be called an “ordinary story,” typical of landowners who lived serenely off the labor of serfs. Their environment and upbringing made them weak-willed, apathetic people, not […]
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. Olga Ilyinskaya, an extraordinary and beautiful woman, strong and strong-willed nature, undoubtedly attracts the attention of men. For Ilya Ilyich, an indecisive and timid person, Olga becomes an object [...]
The novel by I.A. Goncharov is permeated with various opposites. The technique of antithesis, on which the novel is built, helps to better understand the character of the characters and the author's intention. Oblomov and Stolz are two completely different personalities, but, as they say, opposites converge. They are connected by childhood and school, which you can learn about in the chapter “Oblomov’s Dream.” From it it becomes clear that everyone loved little Ilya, caressed him, and did not let him do anything on his own, although at first he was eager to do everything himself, but then they […]
In the novel “Oblomov” the skill of Goncharov as a prose writer was fully demonstrated. Gorky, who called Goncharov “one of the giants of Russian literature,” noted his special, flexible language. Goncharov’s poetic language, his talent for figuratively reproducing life, the art of creating typical characters, compositional completeness and the enormous artistic power of the picture of Oblomovism and the image of Ilya Ilyich presented in the novel - all this contributed to the fact that the novel “Oblomov” took its rightful place among the masterpieces […]
In I. A. Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov” one of the main techniques for revealing images is the technique of antithesis. Using contrast, the image of the Russian gentleman Ilya Ilyich Oblomov and the image of the practical German Andrei Stolz are compared. Thus, Goncharov shows the similarities and differences between these characters in the novel. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a typical representative of the Russian nobility of the 19th century. His social position can be briefly described as follows: “Oblomov, a nobleman by birth, a collegiate secretary by rank, […]
There is a type of book where the reader is captivated by the story not from the first pages, but gradually. I think that “Oblomov” is just such a book. Reading the first part of the novel, I was inexpressibly bored and did not even imagine that this laziness of Oblomov would lead him to some sublime feeling. Gradually, the boredom began to go away, and the novel captured me, I was already reading with interest. I have always liked books about love, but Goncharov gave it an interpretation unknown to me. It seemed to me that boredom, monotony, laziness, [...]
Introduction. Some people find Goncharov's novel “Oblomov” boring. Yes, indeed, throughout the first part Oblomov lies on the sofa, receiving guests, but here we get to know the hero. In general, the novel contains few intriguing actions and events that are so interesting to the reader. But Oblomov is “our people's type,” and it is he who is the bright representative of the Russian people. That's why the novel interested me. In the main character, I saw a piece of myself. You should not think that Oblomov is a representative only of Goncharov’s time. And now they live [...]
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 girl believed that love would push him to great achievements.
