The history of the poem

Exiled to the Caucasus in the spring of 1837, M.Yu. Lermontov traveled along the Georgian Military Road. There was once a monastery near Mtskheta (Georgia). Here the poet met a decrepit old man wandering among the ruins and gravestones. It was a highlander monk. The old man told how, as a child, he was captured by the Russians and given to be raised in this monastery. He recalled how homesick he was then, how he dreamed of returning home. But gradually he got used to his prison, became drawn into the monotonous monastery

life and became a monk.


M.Yu. Lermontov, taking this story as a basis, changed the plot.

M.Yu. Lermontov. Poem “Mtsyri” The history of the creation of the poem, the theme and idea of ​​the work, the meaning of the epigraph. Composition.

Slide 2

Epigraph of the lesson I lived little, and lived in captivity. Such two lives in one, But only one full of anxiety, I would exchange if I could. M.Yu. Lermontov "Mtsyri"

Slide 3

The history of the creation of the poem. In 1837, Lermontov decided to write “the notes of a young monk aged 17. Since childhood, he had not read books in the monastery except sacred books. A passionate soul languishes." 8 years passed from this recording to the appearance of “Mtsyri”. During this time, the poet turned to the planned plot several times. First he writes the poem "Confession", which takes place in Spain. A hero-monk who broke his vow, fell in love with a nun and was condemned to death. In 1835-1836 the poem “Boyar Orsha” appears.

Slide 4

The poem “Mtsyri” was written in 1839. “When Lermontov, wandering along the old Georgian Military Road (this could have been in 1837), was studying local legends, ... he came across in Mtskheta ... a lonely monk, or, rather, an old monastery servant , “beri” in Georgian. The watchman was the last of the brethren of the abolished nearby monastery.

Slide 5

The emergence of the concept of the poem “Mtsyri”, biographer of Lermontov P.A. Viskovatov connects it with the poet’s journey along the old Georgian Military Road. Lermontov visited the ancient capital of Georgia, the city of Mtskheta, located at the confluence of the Aragva and Kura rivers. While visiting Svetitskhoveli Cathedral, the poet met a lonely monk who told him his story. Georgian Military Road near Mtskheta. Drawing by M.Yu. Lermontov

Slide 6

Lermontov got into a conversation with him and learned from him that he was a highlander, captured as a child by General Ermolov during the expedition. The general took him with him and left the sick boy with the monastery brethren. This is where he grew up; For a long time I could not get used to the monastery, I was sad and tried to escape to the mountains. The consequence of one such attempt was a long illness that brought him to the brink of the grave. Having been cured, the savage calmed down and remained to live in the monastery, where he became especially attached to the old monk. The curious and lively story “take it” made an impression on Lermontov. In addition, he touched on a motif already familiar to the poet, and so he decided to use what was suitable in “Confession” and “Boyar Orsha”, and transferred the entire action from Spain and then the Lithuanian border to Georgia.”

Slide 7

The emergence of the poet's plan was also influenced by impressions of the nature of the Caucasus and acquaintance with Caucasian folklore. P. A. Viskovatov writes (1891): “The old Georgian military road, traces of which are still visible today, especially struck the poet with its beauty and a whole string of legends. These legends had been known to him since childhood, now they were renewed in his memory, arose in his imagination, strengthened in his memory along with powerful and luxurious pictures of Caucasian nature.” One of these legends is a folk song about a tiger and a young man. In the poem, she found an echo in the scene of the fight with the leopard.

“Blue mountains of the Caucasus, I greet you! You cherished my childhood - you carried me in your wild arms, dressed me in clouds, you accustomed me to the sky, and since then I have been dreaming about you and the sky.” M.Yu. Lermontov. 1832

Slide 12

To you, the Caucasus, the stern king of the earth, I dedicate again a careless verse... Even as a child, with timid steps, I climbed the proud rocks, Entwined with foggy turbans, Like the heads of scarlet worshipers. There the wind flaps its free wings, There eagles flock to spend the night; I flew to visit them with an obedient dream...

Slide 13

...What a fiery soul, what a mighty spirit, what a gigantic nature this Mtsyri has! This is our poet’s favorite ideal, this is the reflection in poetry of the shadow of his own personality. V.G. Belinsky I knew only one power of thought, One - but a fiery passion: She, like a worm, lived in me. Gnawed my soul and burned it. She called my dreams From stuffy cells and prayers To that wonderful world of worries and battles... M.Yu. Lermontov "Mtsyri" Mtsyri. Drawing by F.D. Konstantinov

- an artistic generalization expressed in the particular. Showing general qualities in the individual. “...And throughout our lives we carry in our souls the image of this man - sad, strict, gentle, powerful, modest, brave, noble, sarcastic, dreamy, mocking, shy, endowed with powerful passions and will and a penetrating and merciless mind...” I. Andronnikov Image in literature

Slide 15

Slide 16

The theme and idea of ​​the work The epigraph to the poem (“Tasting, I tasted little honey, I am dying”) is taken from the biblical legend about the Israeli king Saul and his son Jonathan, a “worthless and rebellious” youth, as his father called him in the heat of anger. The first epigraph is “There is only one homeland” (French saying). Why do you think the poet abandoned such an epigraph and turned to the Bible (“Tasting, I tasted little honey, and now I’m dying”)? -How is the epigraph related to the theme and idea of ​​the work?

Slide 17

The theme of “Mtsyri” is the image of a strong, brave, rebellious man, taken prisoner, who grew up in the dark walls of a monastery, suffering from oppressive living conditions and who decided, at the cost of risking his own life, to break free at the very moment when it was most dangerous: And at one o'clock at night, a terrible hour. When the thunderstorm frightened you, When, crowded at the altar, you lay prostrate on the ground, I ran away.

Slide 18

The idea of ​​the poem The idea is that 3 days of real life in freedom are better than many years of imprisonment within the walls of a monastery. Where a person does not live fully, but exists. For the hero, death is better than life in a monastery.

The image of Mtsyri in the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov

Bobrova Natalia Konstantinovna,

teacher of Russian language and literature

MKOU "TSHI", Tazovsky village

The poem “Mtsyri” is a romantic work with all the characteristic features of this literary movement: - the contradiction between ideal and reality; - symbolic plot and images. M.Yu. Lermontov created in the poem a vivid image of a rebel hero, incapable of compromise.

This is a character exceptional in depth and thoroughness

psychological study.

The image of Mtsyri himself is endowed with romantic features that are combined with realistic ones. The hero's confession makes it possible to psychologically accurately reveal his inner world. For many years Mtsyri grew up in a monastery, realizing that he owed his life to the monks. Outwardly, he had already resigned himself to captivity and was preparing to take a monastic vow, but in his soul the flame of a past, forgotten life still glimmered. The monastery is the prison in which Mtsyri is imprisoned. He wants to run away, run away as far as possible, to where he hopes to find the most important things - freedom, homeland, family.

Having decided to escape, the hero of the poem challenges fate.

He is determined to find out what he was born for: for the quiet, measured life of a monk or for the full of excitement life of a mountaineer:

Find out whether we were born into this world for freedom or prison...

Once outside the walls of the monastery, Mtsyri seems to see the world for the first time. That’s why he peers so intently at every picture that opens to him, notices every little thing, piece of “living” nature, listens to the polyphonic variety of sounds: I saw mountain ranges, whimsical, like dreams, When at the hour of dawn They smoked like altars, Their heights in the blue sky... Mtsyri is captivated and blinded by the beauty and splendor of the Caucasus. He retains in his memory “lush fields”, “hills covered with a crown of trees”, “golden sand”. These pictures evoke in the hero vague memories of his homeland, which he was deprived of as a child: A secret voice told me that I once lived there, and the past became clearer, clearer in my memory... Only now, left alone with nature, Mtsyri was able to feel happy. Only now the young man’s heart was touched by a wonderful, bright feeling: ... And closer, closer, the young Georgian voice sounded, So artlessly alive, So sweetly free, as if he was accustomed to pronounce only the sounds of sweet names... The culmination of the romantic poem is the fight between Mtsyri and the leopard. This battle is the moment of the highest rise in the strength and spirit of the hero. It is here that Mtsyri understands what his true purpose is:... Yes, the hand of fate led me in a different direction... But now I am sure that I could have been in the land of my fathers, Not one of the last daredevils. The hero of M.Yu. Lermontov's poem dies, but he is not broken. His last thoughts are about life, homeland, freedom. Both the author and the reader perceive the death of the young man as a victory over reality: life doomed Mtsyri to slavery, humility, loneliness, but he managed to know freedom, experience the happiness of struggle and the joy of merging with the world . The image of Mtsyri is complex: he is a rebel, a stranger, a fugitive, a spirit thirsting for knowledge, an orphan dreaming of a home, and a young man entering a time of clashes and conflicts with the world. The peculiarity of Mtsyri’s character is the combination of strict purposefulness, powerful strength, strong will with exceptional gentleness, sincerity, lyricism in relation to the homeland. Mtsyri feels the harmony of nature and strives to merge with it. He feels its depth and mystery. The hero listens to the voice of nature, admires the leopard as a worthy opponent, and his spirit is unshakable, like the spirit of nature itself. To create the image of the hero, M.Yu. Lermontov uses a variety of means of artistic expression: comparisons, epithets, metaphors, personification, rhetorical questions, exclamations, etc.. Determine the visual and expressive means and its role in creating the image of the hero.

  • like a chamois of the mountains, timid and wild, and weak and flexible, like a reed;
  • mountain ranges as bizarre as dreams;
  • in the snow, burning like a diamond;
  • intertwined like a pair of snakes;
  • I myself, like an animal, was alien to people and crawled and hid like a snake;
  • I was a stranger to them forever, like a steppe animal.
Comparisons emphasize emotionality image of Mtsyri ( like a chamois of the mountains, timid and wild and weak and flexible, like a reed), reflect dreaminess of nature (mountain ranges as fancy as dreams; in snows burning like diamonds), show how merging the hero with nature (intertwined like a pair of snakes), so alienation from people (I myself, like an animal, was alien to people and crawled and hid like a snake; I was a stranger to them forever, like a steppe animal). Determine the visual and expressive means and its role in creating the image of the hero.
  • fiery passion,
  • blessed days
  • flaming chest,
  • stormy heart,
  • mighty spirit
  • burning snows,
  • sleepy flowers,
  • Sakli as a friendly couple.
Epithets convey: emotional mood, depth of feelings, inner impulse (fiery passion, blissful days, flaming chest, stormy heart, mighty spirit), poetic perception of the world (burning snow, sleepy flowers, saklyas as a friendly couple). Determine the visual and expressive means and its role in creating the image of the hero.
  • the battle began to boil;
  • fate laughed at me;
  • I caressed the secret plan;
  • reproach for the hopes of the deceived.
Metaphors transmit tension of experiences, emotional perception of the surrounding world (the battle began to boil; fate laughed at me; I caressed a secret plan; a reproach to the hopes of the deceived). Determine the visual and expressive means and its role in creating the image of the hero.
  • where, merging, two sisters, the streams of Aragva and Kura, make noise, embracing;
  • and the darkness watched the night with a million black eyes...
By using personifications transmitted understanding of nature, complete merging of Mtsyri with it(where, merging, two sisters, the streams of Aragva and Kura, make noise, embracing; and the darkness watched the night with a million black eyes...) V.G. Belinsky about the poem “Mtsyri”:
  • “It can be said without exaggeration that the poet took color from the rainbow, rays from the sun, shine from lightning, roar from thunder, roar from the winds - that all nature itself carried and gave him materials when he wrote this poem.”
  • “...what a fiery soul, what a mighty spirit, what a gigantic nature this Mtsyri has! This is our poet’s favorite ideal, this is the reflection in poetry of the shadow of his own personality. In everything that Mtsyri says, he breathes his own spirit, amazes him with his own power...

Slide description:

The plot of the poem The plot of the poem is simple: this is the story of Mtsyri’s short life, the story of his failed attempt to escape from the monastery. Mtsyri's life is poor in external events; we only learn that the hero never experienced happiness, was captured from childhood, suffered a serious illness and found himself alone in a foreign land and among people strangers to him, monks. The young man rides along to find out why man lives, why he was created. Fleeing from the monastery and three-day wanderings introduce Mtsyri to life, convince him of the meaninglessness of monastic existence, bring him a feeling of joy in life, but do not lead to the desired goal - to return his homeland and freedom. Not finding a way to his native country, Mtsyri again ends up in the monastery. His death is inevitable; in his dying confession, he tells the monk about everything that he managed to see and experience during the “three blissful days.” In the poem, such a sequence of presentation is not maintained.

Slide 29

Slide description:

Composition of the poem The composition of “Mtsyri” is very unique: after a short introduction depicting the view of an abandoned monastery, the small second chapter-stanza tells the whole life of Mtsyri in a calm epic tone; all other stanzas (24) represent the hero’s monologue, his confession to the blueberry. Thus, the author spoke about the hero’s life in two stanzas, and a whole poem was written about the three days Mtsyri spent in freedom.

30 slide

Slide description:

The image of the hero In the center of the poem is the image of a young man, placed by life in unusual conditions. Monastic existence is poor in external events; it does not bring joy to a person, but it cannot destroy his aspirations and impulses. The author draws attention to these aspirations, to the inner world of the hero, and the external circumstances of his life only help to reveal his character.

31 slides

Slide description:

Features of the composition and plot 1. The poem consists of an introduction, a short story by the author about the life of Mtsyri and the confession of the hero, and the order of the events is changed. 2. The plot of the poem is not the external facts of Mtsyri’s life, but his experiences. 3. All events of Mtsyri’s three-day wanderings are shown through his perception. 4. Features of the plot and composition allow the reader to focus on the character of the central character.

32 slide

Slide description:

The composition of the monologue makes it possible to gradually reveal the hero’s inner world. First, Mtsyri talks about his life in the monastery and reveals what was not known to the monks. Outwardly a submissive novice, “a child at heart, a monk by destiny,” he was obsessed with a fiery passion for freedom.

Slide 33

Slide description:

Then Mtsyri tells what he saw “in freedom.” The “wonderful world” he discovered contrasts sharply with the gloomy world of the monastery. The kind of pictures and words he paints them with reveals his fiery nature. Finally, in the following stanzas, Mtsyri talks about the external events of his three-day wandering, about everything that happened to him in freedom, about everything that he felt and experienced during these days of free life. The last two stanzas are Mtsyri’s farewell to life.

Slide 34

Slide description:

Features of a romantic poem The peculiarity of the composition is not only in the shift in the sequence of events, but also in the fact that they are all shown through the subjective perception of the hero. It is not the author who describes Mtsyri’s experiences and feelings, but the hero himself who talks about them. The lyrical element predominates in the poem, and the epic narration, included in the hero’s monologue, is focused on individual, most intense moments of the action (meeting with a Georgian woman, fight with a leopard, etc.). In the poem, the hero comes first everywhere, not the events. All of the above-mentioned features of the composition are characteristic of a romantic poem.

The monastery is a symbol of bondage For the hero, the monastery is a symbol of bondage, a prison where a person is infinitely alone. The author does not reveal the character of the boy who ended up in the monastery; he only depicts his physical weakness and timidity, and then gives a few strokes of his behavior, and the personality of the captive mountaineer emerges clearly. He is hardy, proud, distrustful.

How does the author describe Mtsyri’s character and dreams? The author does not reveal the character of the boy who ended up in the monastery. He only draws his physical weakness and timidity, and then gives a few touches of his behavior, and the personality of the captive mountaineer emerges clearly. He is hardy, proud, and distrustful, because he sees his enemies in the monks around him. He knows the feeling of loneliness and melancholy. And I, as I lived, in a foreign land I will die a slave and an orphan... I knew only one power of thought, One - but a fiery passion... I fed this passion in the darkness of the night with tears and longing...
