PECHORIN AND VERA IN MIKHAIL YURYEVICH LERMONTOV'S NOVEL "HERO OF OUR TIME" Prepared by Violetta Klimova, Grade 9

Summary of the chapter "Princess Mary" The chapter is written in the form of a diary. In terms of vital material, “Princess Mary” is closest to the so-called “secular story” of the 1830s, but Lermontov filled it with a different meaning. The story begins with the arrival of Pechorin in Pyatigorsk to the healing waters, where he meets Princess Ligovskaya and her daughter, called Mary in the English manner. In addition, here he meets his former love Vera and friend Grushnitsky. During his stay in Kislovodsk and Pyatigorsk, Pechorin falls in love with Princess Mary and quarrels with Grushnitsky. He kills Grushnitsky in a duel and refuses Princess Mary. On suspicion of a duel, he is again exiled, this time to a fortress.

The image of Vera Vera is a secular lady, an old lover of Pechorin. A description of her appearance is given from the lips of Dr. Werner: "some lady from the newcomers, a relative of the princess by her husband, very pretty, but it seems very sick ... medium height, blonde, with regular features, consumptive complexion, and on the right black mole on her cheek: her face struck me with its expressiveness. Vera, Pechorin's old love, is perhaps the only woman who managed to leave an indelible mark on his soul, the only woman who understood him completely and accepted him as he is, without trying to remake him.

Quotes characterizing the attitude of Vera to Pechorin “-Vera! I cried out involuntarily. She shuddered and turned pale. "- I'm married! - she said. - Again? However, a few years ago, this reason also existed, but in the meantime ... She pulled her hand out of mine, and her cheeks burned. “... I looked at her and got scared; her face expressed deep despair, tears sparkled in her eyes. “Tell me,” she finally whispered, “is it fun for you to torture me? I should hate you. Since we have known each other, you have given me nothing but suffering... - Her voice trembled, she leaned towards me and lowered her head on my chest.

Quotes characterizing Vera's attitude towards Pechorin “-Now do you believe that I love you? Oh, I hesitated for a long time, I suffered for a long time ... but you make whatever you want out of me. “Her heart was beating fast, her hands were cold as ice. Reproaches of jealousy began, complaints - she demanded that I confess everything to her, saying that she would humbly endure my betrayal, because she only wanted my happiness. I didn’t quite believe it, but I reassured her with oaths, promises, and so on.”

Quotes characterizing Pechorin's attitude to Vera “- Mole! I muttered through my teeth. - Really? The doctor looked at me and said solemnly, putting his hand on my heart: - She is familiar to you! .. - My heart was definitely beating faster than usual. “I haven’t seen her yet, but I’m sure I recognize in your portrait one woman whom I loved in the old days ...” “When he left, a terrible sadness cramped my heart.” “I thought about that young woman with a mole on her cheek that the doctor told me about ... Why is she here? And is she? "- Vera! I cried out involuntarily. She shuddered and turned pale. “I knew you were here,” she said. I sat down next to her and took her hand. A long-forgotten thrill ran through my veins at the sound of that sweet voice…”

Quotes characterizing Pechorin's attitude to Vera "I hugged her tightly, and so we stayed for a long time." “Vera is sick, very sick, although she doesn’t admit it, I’m afraid that she won’t have consumption ...” “... I won’t deceive her; she is the only woman in the world whom I would not be able to deceive. I know that we will soon part again, and perhaps forever: we will both go our separate ways to the grave; but the memory of her will remain inviolable in my soul ... "" Finally, we parted; I followed her with my eyes for a long time, until her hat disappeared behind the bushes and rocks. My heart sank painfully, as after the first parting. Oh, how I rejoiced at this feeling!

Letter from Vera “This letter will be both a farewell and a confession…” “…you loved me as a property, as a source of joys, anxieties and sorrows…” “But you were unhappy…” “…but there is something special in your nature, you alone peculiar, something proud and mysterious; in your voice, no matter what you say, there is an invincible power; no one knows how to constantly want to be loved; in no one is evil so attractive, no one's gaze promises so much bliss, no one knows how to use his advantages better, and no one can be so truly unhappy as you, because no one tries so hard to convince himself otherwise. "... my weak heart obeyed again a familiar voice..." "I will not blame you..." no conditions." "... I penetrated into all the secrets of your soul ..." "But my love grew together with my soul: it darkened, but did not die out." “... I will never love another: my soul has exhausted all its treasures, its tears and hopes on you.” "... I told him that I love you ..." Pechorin Vera (pp. 163-165) Prove. love Feelings Words, character. Pechorin

Pechorin’s behavior after reading a letter from Vera “Like crazy, I jumped out onto the porch, jumped on my Circassian, who was led around the yard, and set off at full speed on the road to Pyatigorsk.” “The thought of not finding her in Pyatigorsk hit my heart like a hammer! - one minute, one more minute to see her, to say goodbye, to shake her hand ... I prayed, cursed, cried, laughed ... no, nothing will express my anxiety, despair! .. With the opportunity to lose her forever, Vera became dearer to me everything in the world is more precious than life, honor, happiness! “... I was left alone in the steppe, having lost my last hope; I tried to walk - my legs buckled; exhausted by the anxieties of the day and insomnia, I fell on the wet grass and wept like a child.

Conclusion: Only after losing Vera, Pechorin understands how much he needs her. He tries to catch up with the heroine, but only drives the horse. Then the hero falls to the ground and begins to sob uncontrollably. Faith leaves his life forever. If it were not for the romance with Vera developing in parallel with the story of the princess, we would be convinced of the soullessness of Pechorin, of his inability to love. But the relationship with Vera emphasizes that Pechorin, contrary to his conviction, is able to love. Thus, this love story only emphasizes Pechorin's loneliness, his disunity with people. Faith could not give him the happiness he longed for, and the reason here is primarily in Pechorin himself, in his soul. The image of Vera is only a sketch. She is depicted only in her relationship to the main character, she has long loved Pechorin, but this love can bring nothing but suffering. Vera knows about this, but all the same, for the sake of her love, she makes many sacrifices. The image of Vera for Pechorin is ideal, because only she fully understands him and, in spite of everything, still loves him. Pechorin Vera

The relationship between Vera and Pechorin from Lermontov's novel "A Hero of Our Time" looks very tragic and somewhat paradoxical. In cases where the relationship of the characters becomes impossible due to a number of social or historical reasons (for example, Erasmus and Lisa, Romeo and Juliet), tragedy acquires large-scale features - it is difficult to resist the era or social order, but when the tragedy of relations lies in individual traits ( unrequited love), the tragedy is felt especially sharply.

Dear readers! We offer which was written by M.Yu. Lermontov.

At such moments, the notion comes that sometimes a person’s happiness did not materialize due to the fact that a person close to him was not ready to take drastic measures.

Relations between Pechorin and Vera before meeting in the Caucasus

Vera and Pechorin were old acquaintances. Lermontov does not detail the description of these relations, which were formed before the described events in the Caucasus. Minor phrases suggest that these people were connected by a long-standing love, which, for some unknown reason, did not develop into something more, for example, into marriage. Despite the fact that Pechorin and Vera did not communicate for a long time, warm, friendly relations remained between them. It is likely that the former sympathy did not allow the development of a feeling of anger or resentment against each other.

Development of relations in Kislovodsk

A new round in the relationship between Vera and Pechorin falls at the time of their stay in Pyatigorsk and Kislovodsk.

During this period, Vera is in a state of physical and moral exhaustion - she is seriously ill, it is likely that this disease, which resembles an incurable fever, will become fatal in a woman's life, since the treatment produced does not bring significant results. In addition, Vera is unhappy in marriage - she married an unloved person and is now tormented by the lack of romantic feelings towards her husband.

Pechorin, at the time of the meeting, is on the verge of depression - he does not find his place in life, allowing him to feel moral satisfaction.

After a long separation, young people meet again, and a former feeling flares up between them.
Vera's marriage does not become an obstacle to the development of relations - in order to avoid publicity, young people meet secretly.

However, the idyll in their relationship did not last long - Pechorin, driven by the desire to cause Vera to have an attack of jealousy, begins to court Princess Mary in a demonstrative manner, thus causing considerable mental anguish to Vera.

Dear readers! We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time"

Despite such a selfish attitude towards herself, Vera does not stop loving Pechorin - she sincerely worries about the outcome of the duel. Haunted by fear of loss and mental anguish, Vera confesses to her husband about her relationship with Pechorin. A quarrel arises between the spouses, which, however, Vera practically does not remember - her internal state and moral turmoil do not allow her to sensibly assess everything that is happening. As a result, the woman, having written a farewell letter to Pechorin, leaves with her husband.

The vainness of the sacrifice of Faith

The subtle spiritual organization of Vera, in combination with an outstanding mind, becomes a key factor supporting Pechorin's interest in relation to a woman.

However, this does not allow Vera to avoid mistakes in relationships. On the one hand, she is aware of the harmfulness of these relationships and their doom. Vera understands that Pechorin acts towards her like any man - he just enjoys her favor and love, but on the other hand, she hopes that she will become the woman who will heal Pechorin from his eternal dissatisfaction and blues.

For this purpose, a woman is ready to sacrifice herself, in return hoping to get the same thing - a certain sacrifice on the part of Pechorin, which would allow her to become happy and know the joy of a harmonious life, but Pechorin does not make a reciprocal move. On the one hand, such an act of his looks extremely selfish, on the other, it is natural. Whatever the good intentions of Vera, Pechorin did not ask her for this sacrifice.

Faith, however sad it may be, was guided solely by its own initiative, and, as is known from the proverb, it is punishable. The general tragedy of the situation is further enhanced by the fact that Pechorin did not promise Vera any retaliatory actions on his part. As a result, Vera, being truly in love with Pechorin, experiences mental anguish due to an unfair unrequited attitude towards her person, while Pechorin, who did not make any promises and only accepts the victim, is calm - by his standards, he does not owe Vera anything.

Did Pechorin love Vera?

The relationship between Vera and Pechorin seems more than prosaic. Straightforward statements about passionate attraction to each other and about the emergence of romantic feelings allow us to say that Vera became the only woman in Pechorin's life that he really loved.

While in other cases the arisen passion faded as quickly as it appeared, the relationship with Vera is devoid of such transience. After a while, the woman still remains desired by Pechorin.

Having received Vera's farewell letter, Pechorin is tormented by doubts - what to do, whether to catch up with Vera on the way, which also suggests the presence of deeper feelings than just a temporary hobby.

However, this story has another side to the coin. Pechorin is courting Princess Mary in order to cause an attack of jealousy in Vera - he likes to realize that he is becoming the cause of mental anguish and anguish. Is that what they do with their loved ones?

To some extent, Pechorin acts selfishly towards a woman - he is little concerned about the possible consequences of such relationships outside of marriage, as well as the further fate of Vera.

After reading the letter, Pechorin does not feel tormented by conscience for his ignoble act - emptiness and chaos still reign in his soul.

As a result, we can say that Vera in the life of Pechorin was, of course, an important and significant person. Definitely, he had strong, deep feelings for Vera, but it is likely that Pechorin, who himself was in disharmony with the whole world, was not able to realize the full significance of this person in his life. Vera's sincere love became an occasion for Pechorin to assert himself, to amuse his pride and selfishness.

Vera, in turn, being unhappy in marriage, hoped to find peace of mind and happiness with the help of relations with Pechorin. She is so captivated by the young man that she is ready to sacrifice everything she has, just for the sake of the hope of an illusory happiness.

When you get acquainted with the plot of the work “A Hero of Our Time”, you completely involuntarily stop your attention on the psychological portrait of the main character Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin. After all, he is an outstanding, very complex and multifaceted personality of the 19th century. It seems that it is in it that the author presents himself, his vision of the world, his attitude to friendship and love.

Vera

However, the hero still had strong feelings and affection for the girl Vera. It was some kind of unconscious love in Pechorin's life. An essay on this subject should indicate that she is the only woman he could never deceive. His love brings her a lot of suffering, because she is a married woman. They had known each other for a long time, and their chance meeting again made them feel an irrepressible passion for each other. Vera is cheating on her husband. Love for Pechorin took many years. He just wrecked her soul.

Late revived soul

Only when Pechorin lost her forever did he realize that he loved only one woman in the world. He searched all his life, but the realization came to him too late. The hero will say about her: “Faith has become dearer to me than anything in the world - dearer than life, honor, happiness!”

It is in this episode that the hero Pechorin is fully revealed. It turns out that he also knows how to love and suffer, is not always cold and insensitive, prudent and cold-blooded. He begins to dream, his soul has come to life in him, he wants to make Vera his wife and go away with her somewhere far away.

Love in the life of Pechorin. Composition grade 9

All the women who encountered Pechorin became his unwitting victims. Bela was killed by the highlander Kazbich, Vera died of consumption, Princess Mary is also doomed, as she lost confidence in people. They all truly loved him and behaved very sincerely and with dignity when he rejected their love. And Pechorin himself was not capable of deep feelings, so he did not get what he wanted from life. Perhaps if he learned to love, he would be happy.

Love could not play an important role in Pechorin's life. The essay (short) on this topic is exactly what it says. He comprehended this feeling only when he lost a loved one forever.

This morning the doctor came to see me; his name is Werner, but he is Russian. What's so amazing? I knew one Ivanov, who was a German.

Werner is a wonderful person for many reasons. He is a skeptic and a materialist, like almost all doctors, and at the same time a poet, and in earnest - a poet in deed, always and often in words, although he did not write two poems in his life. He studied all the living strings of the human heart, as one studies the veins of a corpse, but he never knew how to use his knowledge; so sometimes an excellent anatomist cannot cure a fever! Usually Werner surreptitiously mocked his patients; but I once saw how he wept over a dying soldier... He was poor, dreamed of millions, and for money he would not take an extra step: he once told me that he would rather do a favor to an enemy than to a friend, because that would mean sell his charity, while hatred will only increase in proportion to the generosity of the enemy. He had an evil tongue: under the sign of his epigram, more than one good-natured man passed for a vulgar fool; his rivals, envious water doctors, spread a rumor that he was drawing caricatures of his patients - the patients became furious, almost everyone refused him. His friends, that is, all truly decent people who served in the Caucasus, tried in vain to restore his fallen credit.

His appearance was one of those that strike unpleasantly at first sight, but which one likes later, when the eye has learned to read in irregular features the imprint of a tried and exalted soul. There were examples that women fell in love with such people to the point of madness and would not exchange their ugliness for the beauty of the freshest and pinkest endymons; it is necessary to do justice to women: they have an instinct for spiritual beauty; Perhaps that is why people like Werner love women so passionately.

Werner was short and thin and weak as a child; one leg was shorter than the other, like Byron's; in comparison with his body, his head seemed huge: he cut his hair with a comb, and the irregularities of his skull, exposed in this way, would have struck a phrenologist with a strange intertwining of opposite inclinations. His small black eyes, always restless, tried to penetrate your thoughts. Taste and neatness were noticeable in his clothes; his lean, sinewy, and small hands showed off in pale yellow gloves. His coat, tie and waistcoat were always black. The youth nicknamed him Mephistopheles; he showed that he was angry at this nickname, but in fact it flattered his vanity. We soon understood each other and became friends, "because I am not capable of friendship: of two friends, one is always the slave of the other, although often neither of them admits this to himself; I cannot be a slave, but in this case I can command - tiresome work, because you have to deceive along with it; besides, I have lackeys and money! That's how we became friends: I met Werner in S ... among a large and noisy circle of young people; at the end of the evening, the conversation took a philosophical metaphysical direction; they talked about beliefs: everyone was convinced of different differences.

As far as I am concerned, I am convinced of only one thing ... - said the doctor.

What is it? I asked, wanting to know the opinion of the man who had so far been silent.

In that, - he answered, - that sooner or later, one fine morning I will die.

I am richer than you, - I said, - besides this, I have another conviction - namely, that I had the misfortune to be born one ugly evening.

Everyone found that we were talking nonsense, and, really, none of them said anything smarter than that. From that moment on, we distinguished each other in the crowd. We often got together and talked together about abstract subjects very seriously, until both of us noticed that we were mutually fooling each other. Then, looking significantly into each other's eyes, as the Roman augurs did, according to Cicero, we began to laugh and, having laughed, dispersed satisfied with our evening.

V. G. Belinsky called the novel “A Hero of Our Time” a “cry of suffering” and a “sad thought” about that time. That time, that era, with good reason, was called the era of timelessness that came in Russia after the defeat of the Decembrists. Gloomy times breed gloomy characters. Lack of spirituality generates evil and brings this evil into all spheres of life. This evil is especially painful for the destinies of people.

In the novel A Hero of Our Time, Grigory Pechorin himself explained the reasons for his unfortunate character: “I was modest - I was accused of slyness: I became secretive. I deeply felt good and evil - no one caressed me, everyone insulted me: I became vindictive ... I was ready to love the whole world - no one understood me: and I learned to hate ... My best feelings, fearing ridicule, I buried in the depths of my heart: they died there, ”But it seems that not all the“ best feelings ”died in Pechorin, because he himself was aware of the tragedy of his situation, his fate. He suffers when Bela dies, when Princess Mary is offended by him; he strives to give Grushnitsky a chance and not be a scoundrel in the eyes of others and in his own. But most of all, the deep, generous, truly human movements of his soul are manifested in the history of relationships with Vera, the only woman whom Pechorin truly loved. Pechorin speaks of himself with bitterness and dissatisfaction: "My love did not bring happiness to anyone, because I did not sacrifice anything for those whom I loved: I loved for myself, for my own pleasure." That is how Pechorin loved Vera. We don't know anything about her personality, her lifestyle, her relationships with people, we don't even know what she looks like. She speaks only with Pechorin, and the topic of these conversations is only love for him. This is an image of love itself - selfless, selfless, not recognizing the boundaries, shortcomings and vices of the beloved. Only such love can open Pechorin's heart - selfish and bitter. In relations with Vera, Pechorin at least partly becomes what nature created him - a deeply feeling, experiencing person. But this also happens infrequently.

In her farewell letter, Vera writes: “... you loved me as property, as a source of joys, anxieties and sorrows ...” So be it, but this feeling is strong, genuine, sincere. This is true love for life. After all, the cold, selfish, mocking Pechorin, who “laughs at everything in the world, especially feelings,” becomes sincere when it comes to Vera. Let's remember: "terrible sadness" constricted his heart at the news of Vera's appearance in Pyatigorsk, "long-forgotten trepidation" ran through his veins from the sounds of her voice, a long look with which he accompanies her receding figure - after all, all this is evidence of a true and deep feeling . Remaining selfish and in love with Vera, Pechorin still not only takes, but also gives away some part of his own being. It is enough to remember how he is chasing Vera who has left, how the driven horse collapsed, and Pechorin, pressing his face against the wet grass, sobs frantically and helplessly.

The loss of Faith for Pechorin is perhaps the biggest loss, but his personality does not change with this loss. He still remains a cold, indifferent, prudent egoist. However, an essential feature of the “hero of our time” emerges in him, who, under the guise of a cold egoist, hides a very vulnerable and deep soul.
