  2. Reporting the topic and objectives of the lesson.(On the screen - a portrait of I. S. Turgenev) We continue to study the novel by I. S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". “My whole life is in my writings,” he wrote. Turgenev has a special sense of time. “Our time demands to capture modernity in its coming images; You can't be too late." In his works, he "caught" something new that was just emerging in Russian life. Today in the lesson we will try to answer the questions with you: -What is the meaning of the title of the novel? -How and why is there a dispute between representatives of different generations? Guys, at home you made a comparative description of the images of P.P. Kirsanov and E. Bazarov.3. Work on the table.

Comparative characteristics of E. Bazarov and P. P. Kirsanov.

The conflict of generations ... This problem is relevant at all times. - In what works is this problem considered? (Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", A. Ostrovsky's "Thunderstorm", etc.) In the middle of the 19th century, on the eve of the abolition of serfdom in Russia, disputes between liberals and revolutionary democrats, aristocrats and commoners sharply escalated. I. S. Turgenev tells us about this in his novel.

Which of the characters in the novel oppose each other?

What are these people called? (antipodes)

Antipode - a person who is opposite to someone in terms of beliefs, properties, tastes. (Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language by S. I. Ozhegov)

Name the antipodes in Russian literature. (Grinev and Shvabrin, Oblomov and Stolz, Chatsky and Molchalin ...) Today we will conduct a comparative description of the new heroes of the novel.

1. What can you sayabout the origin, social affiliation of the heroes? P. Kirsanov - nobleman, aristocrat, son of a general, retired officer, liberal conservative. E. Bazarov - the son of a military doctor, had peasant roots, a medical student. Faculty of St. Petersburg University, raznochinets, democrat-nihilist.

2.Portrait. Bazarov- "tall in a long hoodie with tassels." The face is “long and thin, with a broad forehead, flat top, pointed nose, large green eyes and drooping sand-coloured sideburns ...” He has “bare red hands.”

P. P. Kirsanov- in all appearance "gloss and panache", appearance "graceful and thoroughbred", beautiful hands long pink nails.

3. Speech - P.P. Kirsanov uses French expressions in conversation, his speech is refined, often distorts Russian words in a foreign manner (principles, etc.) E. Bazarov- speaks simply and artlessly, the speech is common people, often uses sayings and aphorisms. (read from the text)

  1. There are many differences between the characters, but perhaps the most important thing that makes them irreconcilable opponents is the philosophical positions of each.

- What are our heroes arguing about?

1. On the relationship to the nobility

P. Kirsanov . Pavel Petrovich sees the main social force. The significance of the aristocracy, in his opinion, is that it once gave freedom in England, that aristocrats have a highly developed sense of dignity and self-respect. Their self-respect is important as society is built on the individual

E. Bazarov. The talk about the fact that the aristocracy gave England freedom - "The Old Song", a lot has changed since the seventeenth century, so Pavel Petrovich's reference cannot serve as an argument. From the aristocracy there is no benefit to anyone, their main occupation is doing nothing (“sitting on their hands”). They only care about themselves, about their appearance. Under these conditions, their dignity and self-respect look like empty words. Aristocracy is a useless word. In idleness and empty chatter, Bazarov sees the basic political principle of the entire noble society, living at the expense of others.

2. About the principle of activity of nihilists

Pavel Petrovich stands for the preservation of the old order. He is afraid to imagine the destruction of "everything" in society. He agrees to make only minor changes in combining the foundations of the existing system, to adapt to new conditions, as a brother does. They are not reactionaries, they are liberals

E. Bazarov . Nihilists act deliberately, proceeding from the principle of the usefulness of activity for society. They deny social order, that is, autocracy, religion, such is the meaning of the word "ALL". Bazarov notes that the freedom that the government is busy with is hardly going to be useful; this phrase contains a hint of the reforms being prepared. Bazarov does not accept reform as a means of change social status. Denial is perceived by new people as an activity, not chatter.

3. About the attitude towards the people

P. Kirsanov . The Russian people are patriarchal, cherish traditions, and cannot live without religion. These Slavophile views (with an English-style way of life) speak of reactionaryism. He is touched by the backwardness of the people and sees in this the guarantee of the salvation of society.

E. Bazarov . The situation of the people causes in Bazarov not tenderness, but anger. He sees trouble in all areas folk life. Bazarov turns out to be far-sighted and condemns what would later become a creed of populism. It is no coincidence that he says that the Russian people do not need useless words like "liberalism", "progress". Bazarov has a sober attitude towards the people. He sees the ignorance and superstition of the people. These shortcomings he despises. However, Bazarov sees not only the oppression, but also the discontent of the people.

4. About views on art

P. Kirsanov. The new Wanderers are abandoning frozen academic traditions, blindly following the old models, including those of Raphael. The Wandering artists, in his opinion, absolutely abandoned traditions. The new artists are "powerless and barren to the point of disgust".

E. Bazarov. He denies both old and new art: "Raphael is not worth a penny, and they are no better than him."

Who wins the argument?

Does Bazarov have the right to judge his opponent and his "principles" in such a humiliating way? (We must respect other people's opinions, age ..)

5. Attitude towards love.(slide "Scene of declaration of love by E. Bazarov to A. Odintsova")

P.P. Kirsanov has always enjoyed success with women, he was envied by men. He led active image life, but everything changed in an instant when Princess R. appeared in his life, whom Kirsanov met at the ball and fell passionately in love with. The princess quickly lost interest in him, and he almost went crazy, began to chase her around the world, showing cowardice. Exhausted by these relationships, Pavel Petrovich grew old, turned gray and lost interest in life.

Bazarov, on the other hand, treats love very coldly. “A man who staked his whole life on the card of female love, and when this card was killed for him, became limp and sank to the point that he was not capable of anything, such a person is not a man,” he notes. Love seemed like a test for Bazarov ... Love conquers selfishness, enlightens the world, this feeling turned out to be not physiology, as the hero assumed, this feeling shocks and injures. In words, he denied love, but in reality life forced her to recognize.
For Bazarov, a similar drama means humiliation and is perceived as a manifestation of shameful weakness.

6. Lifestyle, interests.

There are disagreements between Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich in relation to art and nature. From Bazarov's point of view, "reading Pushkin is a waste of time, making music is ridiculous, enjoying nature is ridiculous." Pavel Petrovich, on the contrary, loves nature, music. Art (and literature, and painting, and music) softens the soul, distracts from work. All this is “romanticism”, “nonsense”. Looking at the album of Saxon Switzerland, Bazarov says to Odintsova: “You don’t assume that I have an artistic meaning - yes, I really don’t have it, but these views could interest me from a geological point of view.” Bazarov is trying to debunk the inactive "principles", does not accept illusory daydreaming, refusing the achievements of culture ("Rafael is not worth a penny") and perceiving nature utilitarianly.
Kirsanov and Bazarov each have their own opinion.
Bazarov is an enemy of abstract science, divorced from life. He is for a science that would be understandable to the people. Bazarov is a worker of science, he is tireless in his experiments, completely absorbed in his beloved profession.

7. Attitude towards each other.

Bazarov should not forget about respect for the older generation. He crosses out the whole life of P. Kirsanov, who believed that he was leading a noble life and worthy of respect.

4. Summing up the lesson.

- Is there a winner in the dispute?

Did the characters want to find the truth or just sort things out?

Whose side do you think the author is on? I. S. Turgenev refers himself to the generation of "fathers", trying to convey to us the idea of important role"old people" in the past and present of Russia. It is impossible to deny all the accumulated human experience, art, religion, the spiritual side of society. The author tried to convey to the reader the idea of ​​finding some kind of compromise between generations.

5. Grading.

6. Homework.Analysis of the last chapters of the novel. "Death of Bazarov".


A prominent representative and defender of the older generation is Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov. The novel is structured in such a way that the "fathers" give in to the "children" and Pavel Petrovich does not emerge victorious from disputes with Bazarov. At the same time, Turgenev had a certain intent. In a letter to Sluchevsky on April 14, 1862, he says: “Bazarov constantly breaks Pavel Petrovich, and not vice versa ... My whole story is directed against the nobility, as an advanced class ... An aesthetic feeling made me take precisely good representatives of the nobility in order to prove my topic: if cream is bad, what about milk ... Nikolai Petrovich is me, Ogarev and thousands of others, Pavel Petrovich is Stolypin, Esakov, Bosset are also our contemporaries. They are the best of the nobles - and that is why I have chosen them to prove their failure. Indeed, Pavel Petrovich has many qualities that make him "the best of the nobles." There is a lot of natural gentlemanship in him. He himself declares with pride that he is "known to everyone as a liberal and progressive person." He defends art, poetry, demands that every person should have ideals and principles. He is a smart man, incapable of getting bogged down in the petty interests of the provincial nobility, whom he treated with disdain. He was respected by both the older and younger generations, especially for his "irreproachable honesty." Household squabbles made him sad, and he casually provided financial assistance to his brother Nikolai Petrovich, whose economy, recently established on new way, "creaked like an unoiled wheel." This gentleman has a lot in common with "superfluous people", with the Onegins and the Lavretskys. And the results of his life are the same as theirs. This is an “extra person” in a new environment, useless, bored and yearning, but already with an admixture of anger, as he feels that he is being turned on. New people came and shook his chambers. Like many "superfluous people" Kirsanov ruined his life thanks to failed love. He spent this life on a romantic feeling and lived out his days alone in the village, being known among the local ladies as a "charming melancholic."
This old type of "superfluous man" with his melancholy, gentlemanly, progressive and humane views acquires in "Fathers and Sons" the new kind before the merciless trial of Bazarov. Raznochinets roughly exposed what was hidden in the poetry of the old nobility. Bazarov does not appreciate either their lovesickness or their humane treatment of the peasants. Here is the summary of Bazarov’s life of Kirsanov: “A man who put his whole life on the card of female love, and when this card was killed for him, became limp and sank to the point that he was not capable of anything, such a person is not a man, but a male . You say that he is unhappy: you should know better; but not all the crap came out of it. I am sure that he is not jokingly imagining himself a practical person, because he reads Galinyashka and once a month he will save the peasant from execution. So Turgenev condemned through the mouth of Bazarov those about whom he said: "It's me, Ogarev, my contemporaries."


EUGENE
BAZAROV AND PAVEL KIRSANOV IN I.S.
TURGENEV "FATHERS AND CHILDREN"



In the novel "Fathers
and children” I.S. Turgenev face
representatives different characters, Paul
Petrovich Kirsanov and Evgeny Bazarov. Both
they are completely opposite in ideas and
aspirations of people: each of them
brought up in his era and therefore has
their outlook on life.


At the first
same meeting, future enemies felt
dislike: Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov was
overwhelmed by arrogance young man,
his appearance, red hands. Soon and
already tense situation even more
heated up, and between Bazarov and Pavel
Petrovich gets into an argument. In him
the ideological positions of these people are revealed.


Paul
Petrovich, who “was only waiting for an excuse,
to pounce on the enemy", wrong
understands Bazarov's statement about
aristocrats. He regards the words "rubbish
and an aristocrat" as inflicted
insulting aristocrats and furiously
begins to defend their rights. According to
Kirsanov, in an aristocrat a feeling is developed
self-esteem and self-respect.
He himself tries to imitate in everything
English aristocrats: dress fashionably,
he always smells of cologne.


bazarov,
immediately noticed the inconsistency of clothing,
noble manners of Pavel Petrovich with life
in the village, says: “... you respect yourself
and sit back; what from this
benefit public good? You wouldn't
respect themselves and would do the same.”


On this
Bazarov's opponent can't say anything,
but only turns pale, which proves it
complete defeat on this issue.


Again
Gathering his strength, Pavel Petrovich
continues to stubbornly insist on his own and
starts an argument about principles. He says: “... aristocracy
- principle, and without principles to live in our time
only immoral or empty people can...”,
for what

Bazarov
remarks: “Aristocracy, liberalism,
progress, principles ... just think how much
foreign and... useless words! Russian
a person doesn’t need them for nothing.” But not only
foreign words are denied by Bazarov, he
denies everything, even the foundations of social
building.

When speech
comes about the Russian people, Pavel Petrovich,
although he himself is very far from him, he tries
show that Bazarov does not know the people that
The Russian people have not changed over the centuries:
“No, the Russian people are not the same as you
imagine. He sacredly honors traditions, he -
patriarchal, he cannot live without faith...”
As far as Pavel Petrovich tries
embellish the people and take their side,
so Evgeny Bazarov despises him for
ignorance, but at the same time loves. "My
grandfather plowed the land,” says Eugene.


Bazarov, in
Unlike Pavel Petrovich, he is a nihilist. IN
in his dispute with Kirsanov, he seems to give
definition of nihilism: “We ... decided not to
what not to be accepted ... And to swear ... And this
called nihilism." Turgenev
defined the meaning of this word as follows: “And if
he is called a nihilist

,
then it must be read: revolutionary!”

Paul
Petrovich and Bazarov are completely different
according to the views of people: one is an idealist, the other is
materialist; one is liberal and romantic,
the other is a democrat and a realist. Their
clash in the novel is quite logical
ends with a duel

.

Difference
ideological positions are so great that they
become irreconcilable enemies.


bazarov,
about whom Turgenev says: “He is honest,
truthful and democrat to the end of the nails," and
Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov, who is
representative" extra people”, never
will be able to understand each other, because they -
people of different generations, they
opposite views on life.

The title of Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons" very accurately reflects the main conflict of the work. The writer raises a layer of cultural, family, romantic, platonic and friendly topics, but the relations of two generations - older and younger - come to the fore. The dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov is a vivid example of this confrontation. The historical background for ideological conflicts was the middle of the 19th century, the time before the abolition of serfdom in Russian Empire. At the same time, liberals and revolutionary democrats clashed head-on. We will consider the details and outcome of the controversy using the example of our heroes.

The central conflict of the novel "Fathers and Sons" is the dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov

It is a mistake to believe that the essence of the work "Fathers and Sons" is reduced to a mere change in the ideology of generations, which has a socio-political overtones. Turgenev endowed this novel with deep psychologism and a multi-layered plot. With a superficial reading, the reader's focus is only on the conflict between the aristocracy and the raznochintsy. Helps to identify the views held by Bazarov and Kirsanov, dispute. The table below shows the essence of these contradictions. And if we dig deeper, we can see that there is an idyll of family happiness, and intrigue, and emancipation, and the grotesque, and the eternity of nature, and reflections on the future.

Yevgeny Bazarov finds himself in the midst of a conflict between fathers and children when he agrees to come to Maryino with his university friend Arkady. In the house of a friend, the atmosphere immediately went wrong. Manners, appearance, divergence of views - all this provokes mutual antipathy with Uncle Arkady. A further dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov flares up over a variety of topics: art, politics, philosophy, the Russian people.

Portrait of Evgeny Bazarov

Evgeny Bazarov is a representative of the generation of "children" in the novel. He is a young student with progressive views, but at the same time prone to nihilism, which the "fathers" condemn. Turgenev, as if on purpose, dressed the hero ridiculously and carelessly. The details of his portrait emphasize the rudeness and spontaneity of the young man: a wide forehead, red hands, self-confident behavior. Bazarov, in principle, is outwardly unattractive, but has a deep mind.

The dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov is aggravated by the fact that the former does not recognize any dogmas and authorities. Eugene is convinced that any truth begins with a doubt. The hero also believes that everything can be checked empirically, does not accept judgment on faith. The situation is aggravated by Bazarov's intolerance for opposing opinions. He is emphatically harsh in his statements.

Portrait of Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov

Pavel Kirsanov is a typical nobleman, a representative of the generation of "fathers". He is a pampered aristocrat and a staunch conservative who adheres to liberal political views. He dresses elegantly and neatly, wears formal English-style suits and starches his collars. Bazarov's opponent is outwardly very well-groomed, elegant in manners. He shows his "breed" in every way.

From his point of view, established traditions and principles should remain unshakable. The dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov is reinforced by the fact that Pavel Petrovich perceives everything new negatively and even hostilely. Here, congenital conservatism makes itself felt. Kirsanov bows before the old authorities, only they are true for him.

The dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov: a table of disagreements

The most the main problem already voiced by Turgenev in the title of the novel - the difference between generations. The line of dispute between the main characters can be traced in this table.

Who are the nihilists

The ideas of nihilism are clearly manifested in the confrontation of opponents, which are Pavel Kirsanov, Bazarov. The dispute exposes the rebellious spirit of Yevgeny Bazarov. He does not bow before the authorities, and this unites him with the revolutionary democrats. The hero questions and denies everything he sees in society. This is the characteristic of nihilists.

Story line outcome

In general, Bazarov belongs to the category of people of action. He does not accept conventions and pretentious aristocratic etiquette. The hero is in a daily search for the truth. One of these searches is the dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov. The table clearly shows the contradictions between them.

Kirsanov is good at polemics, but things do not go beyond conversations. He talks about the life of the common people, but only an ashtray in the shape of a bast shoes on his desktop speaks of his true connection with him. Pavel Petrovich talks with pathos about serving for the good of the Motherland, while he himself lives a well-fed and calm life.

Because of the uncompromising character of the characters, the truth is not born in the novel "Fathers and Sons". The dispute between Bazarov and Kirsanov ends with a duel, which demonstrates the emptiness of noble chivalry. The collapse of the ideas of nihilism is identified with the death of Eugene from blood poisoning. And the passivity of the liberals is confirmed by Pavel Petrovich, since he remains to live in Dresden, although life away from his homeland is hard for him.

    • Tolstoy in his novel "War and Peace" presents us with many different heroes. He tells us about their life, about the relationship between them. Already almost from the first pages of the novel, one can understand that of all the heroes and heroines, Natasha Rostova is the writer's favorite heroine. Who is Natasha Rostova, when Marya Bolkonskaya asked Pierre Bezukhov to talk about Natasha, he replied: “I don’t know how to answer your question. I absolutely do not know what kind of girl this is; I can't analyze it at all. She is charming. And why, […]
    • The disputes between Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich represent the social side of the conflict in Turgenev's novel Fathers and Sons. Here, not just different views of representatives of two generations collide, but also two fundamentally different political points of view. Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich find themselves on opposite sides of the barricades in accordance with all parameters. Bazarov is a raznochinets, a native of poor family forced to make his own way in life. Pavel Petrovich is a hereditary nobleman, keeper of family ties and […]
    • The image of Bazarov is contradictory and complex, he is torn apart by doubts, he is experiencing mental trauma, primarily due to the fact that he rejects the natural principle. The theory of life of Bazarov, this extremely practical person, physician and nihilist, was very simple. There is no love in life - this is a physiological need, there is no beauty - this is just a combination of the properties of the body, there is no poetry - it is not needed. For Bazarov, there were no authorities, and he weightily proved his point of view until life convinced him. […]
    • The most prominent female figures in Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons" are Anna Sergeevna Odintsova, Fenechka and Kukshina. These three images are extremely unlike each other, but nevertheless we will try to compare them. Turgenev was very respectful of women, perhaps that is why their images are described in detail and vividly in the novel. These ladies are united by their acquaintance with Bazarov. Each of them contributed to changing his worldview. The most significant role was played by Anna Sergeevna Odintsova. She was destined to […]
    • Each writer, creating his work, whether it be a fantasy novel or a multi-volume novel, is responsible for the fate of the characters. The author tries not only to tell about a person's life, depicting its most striking moments, but also to show how the character of his hero was formed, in what conditions he developed, what features of the psychology and worldview of this or that character led to a happy or tragic denouement. The finale of any work in which the author draws a peculiar line under a certain […]

Outwardly, the situation almost literally reproduces the one on the first visit. Arkady enjoys summer vacation and, having barely found an excuse, returns to Nikolskoye, to Katya. Bazarov continues natural science experiments. True, this time the author expresses himself in a different way: "The fever of work came upon him." The new Bazarov abandoned intense ideological disputes with Pavel Petrovich. Only occasionally throws enough […]
    • The novel by I. S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons" contains a large number of conflicts in general. These include a love conflict, a clash of worldviews of two generations, social conflict and internal conflict of the protagonist. Bazarov - the main character of the novel "Fathers and Sons" - is a surprisingly bright figure, a character in which the author intended to show the entire young generation of that time. It should not be forgotten that this work is not just a description of the events of that time, but also deeply felt quite real […]
    • The idea of ​​the novel arises from I. S. Turgenev in 1860 in the small seaside town of Ventnor, in England. “... It was in August 1860, when the first thought of “Fathers and Sons” came to my mind ...” It was a difficult time for the writer. He had just broken with Sovremennik magazine. The reason was an article by N. A. Dobrolyubov about the novel “On the Eve”. I. S. Turgenev did not accept the revolutionary conclusions contained in it. The reason for the gap was deeper: the rejection of revolutionary ideas, “peasant democracy […]
    • Roman I.S. Turgenev's "Fathers and Sons" ends with the death of the protagonist. Why? Turgenev felt something new, saw new people, but could not imagine how they would act. Bazarov dies very young, without having time to start any activity. With his death, he seems to redeem the one-sidedness of his views, which the author does not accept. Dying, the protagonist did not change either his sarcasm or his directness, but became softer, kinder, and speaks differently, even romantically, that […]
    • Two mutually exclusive statements are possible: “Despite Bazarov’s outward callousness and even rudeness in dealing with his parents, he dearly loves them” (G. Byaly) and “Is not that spiritual callousness that cannot be justified manifested in Bazarov’s attitude towards his parents.” However, in the dialogue between Bazarov and Arkady, the dots over the i are dotted: “- So you see what kind of parents I have. The people are not strict. - Do you love them, Eugene? - I love you, Arkady! Here it is worth recalling the scene of Bazarov's death, and his last conversation with […]

Pisarev, Realists Yevgeny Bazarov, according to I. S.

    • Dear Anna Sergeevna! Let me turn to you personally and express my thoughts on paper, since saying some words aloud is an insurmountable problem for me. It is very difficult to understand me, but I hope that this letter will clarify my attitude towards you a little. Before meeting you, I was an opponent of culture, moral values, human feelings. But numerous life trials made me take a different look at the world and reevaluate your life principles. For the first time I […]
    • What is actually the conflict between Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov? The eternal dispute of generations? Opposition of supporters of different political views? A catastrophic disagreement between progress and stability bordering on stagnation? Let us classify the disputes that later developed into a duel into one of the categories, and the plot will become flat, lose its sharpness.
