Oblomov's sleep analysis summary. Analysis of the fragment “Oblomov’s Dream” from Goncharov’s novel
A person is shaped in many ways by childhood. Hence the meaning of “Oblomov’s Dream” in the novel. It is no coincidence that Goncharov called it “the overture of the entire novel.” Yes, this is the key to the whole work, the solution to all its secrets.
The entire life of Ilya Ilyich passes before the reader, from early childhood to death. It is the episode dedicated to Ilyusha’s childhood that is one of the central chapters in ideological terms.
The first chapter of the novel is dedicated to one single day of Ilya Ilyich. Observing his behavior and his habits, speeches and gestures, we form a certain impression about the hero. Oblomov is a gentleman who is ready to lie on the sofa all day long. He does not know how to work and even despises all work, capable only of useless dreams. “Life in his eyes was divided into two halves: one consisted of work and boredom - these were synonyms for him; the other - of peace and peaceful fun.” Oblomov is simply afraid of any activity. Even the dream of great love will not be able to bring him out of the state of apathy and peace. And those “two misfortunes” that initially worried Oblomov so much eventually became part of a series of troubled memories. This is how his whole life passed, day after day. Nothing changed in her measured movement.
Ilya Ilyich constantly dreamed. His main dream was presented in the form of a plan, and an unfinished plan. And for your cherished dream to come true, it is necessary not only to stop time, but even to turn it back.
Ilya Ilyich’s acquaintances also fail to stir up the main character. Oblomov has a ready answer for all occasions, for example, this: “Am I going to go through the dampness? And what didn’t I see there?” The habit of living at the expense of others, of getting satisfaction of one’s desires with the help of the efforts of strangers, has led to apathetic immobility and indifference.
“Meanwhile, he painfully felt that some good, bright beginning was buried in him, as in a grave, perhaps now dead... But the treasure was deeply and heavily buried with rubbish, alluvial debris.” So, entertaining himself with his usual thoughts and dreams, Oblomov slowly moves into the kingdom of sleep, “to another era, to other people, to another place.”
It is this dream that largely explains the polysemantic image of the hero. From Ilya Ilyich’s room we find ourselves in the kingdom of light and sun. The sensation of light is perhaps central to this episode. We observe the sun in all its manifestations: daytime, evening, winter, summer. Sunny spaces, morning shadows, a river reflecting the sun. After the dim lighting of the previous chapters, we enter a world of light. But first, we must pass 3 obstacles that Goncharov set before us. This is an endless sea with its “mad rolls of waves”, in which one can hear the groans and complaints of an animal doomed to torment. Behind it are mountains and abysses. And the sky above these formidable rocks seems distant and inaccessible. And finally, a crimson glow. “All nature - the forest, the water, the walls of the huts, and the sandy hills - everything burns as if with a crimson glow.”
After these exciting landscapes, Goncharov takes us to a small corner where “happy people lived, thinking that it should not and cannot be otherwise.” This is the land in which you want to live forever, be born there and die. Goncharov introduces us to the surroundings of the village and its inhabitants. In one phrase we can find a rather remarkable characteristic: “Everything in the village is quiet and sleepy: the silent huts are wide open; not a soul is visible; only flies fly in clouds and buzz in the stuffiness.” There we meet young Oblomov.
Goncharov in this episode reflected the child’s worldview. This is evidenced by constant reminders: “And the child watched everything and observed everything with his childish ... mind.” The inquisitiveness of the child is emphasized several times by the author. But all his inquisitiveness was shattered by the endless concern for little Oblomov, with which Ilyusha was literally swaddled. “And the whole day and all the days and nights of the nanny were filled with turmoil, running around: now torture, now living joy for the child, now the fear that he would fall and break his nose...” Oblomovka is a corner where calm and imperturbable silence reigns. It's a dream within a dream. Everything around seems to have frozen, and nothing can wake up these people who live uselessly in a distant village without any connection with the rest of the world.
Having read the chapter to the end, we realize the only reason for the meaninglessness of Oblomov’s life, his passivity and apathy. Ilya’s childhood is his ideal. There in Oblomovka, Ilyusha felt warm, reliable and very protected, and how much love... This ideal doomed him to a further aimless existence. And the way there has already been blocked for him. Oblomovism is the embodiment of a dream, unrealizable aspirations, stagnation.
When Ilya Ilyich grew up, very little changed in his life. Instead of a nanny, Zakhar runs after him. And since in childhood, any desires of Ilyusha to run out into the street and play with the guys were immediately stopped, it is not surprising that the measured lifestyle that Oblomov leads in his more mature years. “Ilya Ilyich did not know how to get up, or go to bed, or be combed and put on shoes...” Oblomov is of little interest in the current estate with its chaos and destruction. If he wanted, he would have been there a long time ago. In the meantime, he lives on Gorokhovaya Street, depends on the owner of the house and is afraid of his stingy neighbors.
Living together with Pshenitsyna is a continuation of life in Oblomovka. Time is cyclical and goes against the idea of progress. “Oblomov’s Dream” is the author’s attempt to understand the essence of Oblomov. It was this episode that created the poetic appearance of the hero and helped the hero enter the hearts of people. This episode is like a poem. You won't find a single superfluous word in it. “In the type of Oblomov and in all this Oblomovism,” Dobrolyubov wrote, “we see something more than just the successful creation of a strong talent; we find in him a work of Russian life, a sign of the times.”
“Oblomov” is a novel that, in its stage-by-stage development, reflects the end of the era of the abolition of serfdom and the impossibility of normal development and personal growth in the conditions of then flourishing serfdom. The analysis of the novel "Oblomov" below is a clear confirmation of this. The main character is presented by the author as a collective image of a person who, after serving, cannot join any business and find the answer to the question: how to live further? The novel “Oblomov” is a mixture of romanticism with a weakened human will and mental weakness.
"Oblomov": analysis of chapter 1
Using the method of gradual (stepwise) narrowing of images, Goncharov first takes us to one of the main streets of the aristocracy in the city of St. Petersburg, moving the essence of the actions to a large, populous house, where we find ourselves in the home and “bedchamber” of the protagonist.
The unkempt room matches both the appearance and the interior mood of the owner, where we find that “the carpets were stained” and “cobwebs were festooned.” And the hero himself, Oblomov, periodically calls out: “Zakhar!” And after the grumbling and thumping of “legs jumping from somewhere,” the second character of the novel appears before us, the servant, also in a rather unsightly form. For the owner of the house, Oblomov, lackey Zakhar is not only a “devoted servant,” he also acts as a keeper of family memories, a friend, and a nanny. The author clearly demonstrates this by presenting a string of funny everyday scenes as a result of communication between a footman and a master.
Thanks to Zakhar’s rude, frank and undisguised manner of communication, we become familiar with Oblomov’s negative traits - his hatred of work, his thirst for peace and idleness, and his tendency to exaggerate the burden of his own worries.
There is a clear parallel between the servant and the landowner: just as Ilya Ilyich Oblomov selflessly works on the plan, the lackey Zakhar in every possible way demonstrates his intentions to carry out a general cleaning. But one should absolutely not assume that Zakhar is a double of the landowner or a lazy simpleton. You shouldn't judge him so superficially.
The life of Ilya Ilyich, as it were, proceeds in his own special little world, which every now and then suffers the invasion of outsiders: many people care about him. The landowner's door was also knocked on by the socialite Volkov, Penkin - a fashionable writer, the zealous official Sudbinsky and the businessman Tarantyev, even some "man of uncertain years, with an uncertain physiognomy." Petersburgers are attracted to Oblomov’s apartment by the warmth of the soul and the gentleness of its owner. Even such a scoundrel as Tarantyev understands that in this house he will find a “warm, calm shelter.”
Essentially, already in the exhibition there is an explanation of why Oblomov as an official did not achieve success.
We see that “the environment did not “stuck”, the environment rejected” people like the main character, who, in fact, are spiritually much higher than any of his guests.
By the end of the first part of the novel, Oblomov is ready to change his old life. The hero is under pressure from external circumstances in the form of the need to move due to a decrease in the profitability of the estate. Only internal motivations turn out to be more important. And before we have to see the result of the efforts of the landowner Ilya Ilyich to get up from the sofa, the author cites for discussion a special short story about the character’s childhood years - “Oblomov’s Dream”.
Oblomov's dream: analysis of the episode
In this passage we find the answer to the question of how the cheerful and playful boy Ilya Oblomov turned into a man who does not want to know anyone or anything except his own office and the lackey serving him.
Oblomov’s dream is a connection between the past and the present, the predetermination of the hero’s fate. The dream shows how a person like Ilya Oblomov appeared, whose personality combines kind and pleasant traits, as well as complete indifference to current events, and a desire for complete alienation.
In a broader sense, sleep is the general state of mind of the hero. The presented Oblomovka exists only to wake up in the morning and fall asleep in the evening. So Oblomov runs to his office on Vyborgskaya from the bustle and lack of freedom of life, trying to find peace and regularity. The hero is sure that only in a dream he has complete freedom and can control time, at will, see his long-dead mother and move to a “blessed corner.”
An analysis of chapter 9 of “Oblomov” shows that the hero strives for sleep, replacing it with a sense of freedom. Being a metaphor for the hero’s life, “Oblomov’s Dream” runs through the entire space of the novel, determining that it is dreams that encourage “a person to create another, unrealizable world in the natural world, and in it to seek reason and fun for the idle imagination or the solution to ordinary combinations of circumstances and causes of a phenomenon outside itself.” phenomena."
Analysis of chapter 3 of "Oblomov"
In this chapter of the novel we see how Oblomov is visited by Andrei Stolts, a childhood friend.
Already on the threshold, Ilya Ilyich bombards Stolz with complaints about his own health: heartburn is tormenting and stye has overcome him. The doctor advises him to travel, but would a sane person go “... to America and Egypt!... Unless he’s some desperate person who doesn’t care about life.” For Stolz, Oblomov’s fear and arguments are incomprehensible and ridiculous.
Stolz, having read the letter, invites his comrade to act and outlines his vision of solving this problem.
But no, this is not for Ilya Ilyich. Change is the scariest thing in the world for him. Oblomov does not believe that the changes will yield results, just like the plan for the transformation of Oblomovka, which he has been writing for several years now. Ilya Ilyich is not able to make changes in his own life; they cost him too much effort.
Thus, the above about Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov,” the analysis of which you just read, reveals the weakness of the human spirit and the crisis of the uncertainty of existence, awareness of the miserable spiritual existence of the individual and humility with it. To sum it up, it should be said that even today one can encounter “Oblomovism,” so the problem described by the author is still relevant today.
Oblomov's dream consists of several parts, which tell about his past, his childhood, when he was seven years old.
First part.
In a dream, Oblomov sees his native village in which he was born - Oblomovka. This village is very quiet, practically no different from others. Residents lead a quiet life, repeating itself every day. The Oblomov family is presented as sweet and kind people, but, unfortunately, they do not like to work and do not understand why work is needed at all. That is why they always have fun, and sadness can rarely be seen on their faces. They have no worries - they don't notice that the porch needs to be touched up or the roof patched.
Second part.
Next, Oblomov sees himself at seven years old. When Ilya was little, he had the following qualities: cheerful, curious and inquisitive. He wanted to learn a lot, to see the world, but his nanny and mother did not allow him to do this. Parents were lazy and did not work, sat by the window and drank tea. Lunch was followed by a nap that lasted about three hours. At this time, no one is watching Ilyusha, so he tries to explore the area behind the fence, and when someone starts to wake up, he returns to the house. If the nanny sees that little Ilyusha has gone beyond the fence or is walking on the way to the ravine, screams and yelling begin, everyone runs to save the poor boy.
Part three.
In this part, Oblomov is about thirteen years old.
He studies at a boarding school with his friend Stolz, the boy is inquisitive, but often does not go to school because his mother does not let him in - you never know, he will catch a cold and get sick. Frequent holidays also interfere with school attendance. Therefore, Oblomov often did not come to school for weeks. A faithful friend helps him with his homework and teaches him some rules.
At the age of fourteen, the boy did not lose his desire to learn a lot, but again the prohibitions of his parents ruin this idea, so after that any desire for Oblomov to develop further disappears. All relatives come to Ilya’s aid at the first call; Zakhar, a servant in the house, often dresses Ilya himself, which then leads Oblomov to become a dependent person.
This dream teaches that the influence of parents is very important for the child. They are the role models and all their habits and rules are passed on to the younger generation. Oblomov’s parents taught the boy to always be careful, not to go outside the gates of the house, not to respect work and to be lazy, so after a few years Oblomov grew up the same as his parents - he did not strive for anything, did not want or do anything. Their lack of education was also passed on to their son; in childhood he at least tried to learn some sciences, but after that he began to imitate his mother and father - just drink tea and look out the window.
The dream also teaches that without work, a person’s life loses all meaning. A person becomes a burden and is not ready for real life. He does not notice the problems, neglects not only himself, but also his estate, his home. Afterwards, he transfers the neglected estate to his children, who are not much different from themselves.
The village of Oblomovka is a vivid example of how people live without labor. All this leads to spiritual death.

DURING THE CLASSES
Teacher:
Today we will visit a “wonderful land, a blessed corner” where Oblomov’s dream will take us.
What will we discuss in class today?
( Let's trace the formation of Oblomov, where the roots of laziness and apathy came from, and reflect on the Russian character, on Russia and its fate.)
So, the topic of the lesson: “We all come from childhood” (Analysis of the chapter “Oblomov’s Dream”). For the topic of the lesson, I chose a statement by the 19th century French writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
Guys, what do you think: does the statement reveal the main idea of chapter 9? Justify your point of view.
And the epigraph to the lesson will be the words of Oblomov himself: “Who am I? Why am I like this? We will try to answer these questions by turning to Oblomov’s childhood.
Teacher:
To reveal the character of his hero, the author chooses a dream motif. Let's listen to what role the dream motif plays in a work of art.
(Message
Dreams have long been used in fiction to create a mysterious atmosphere, motivate the actions of characters, and convey their emotional state (psychologism). Since the times of ancient Russian literature, dreams have warned of dangers, served as signs, provided assistance, instructed, given rest and at the same time tempted, tested, and presented a choice. Dreams perform retrospective and prognostic functions and participate in the creation of the chronotope of a work. They absorb all three times: they show pictures of the past, present and future, thereby expanding the spatio-temporal boundaries of the text. Dreams can serve as memory. Thus, dreams in works of fiction are multifunctional.
Teacher :
Let's remember which works we studied earlier contained a dream?
(A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” - Tatiana’s dream; in: A.S. Pushkin “The Captain’s Daughter” - Petrusha Grinev’s dream; in: “Ballad” by V. Zhukovsky.
What do you think is the function of sleep in these works, and why do the authors use them?
1. Dream - as revealing the spiritual state of the hero, a means of psychological analysis.
2. A dream is like an idyll, a dream.
3. Dream - as a prediction of the future.
Which of the following functions does a dream perform in the work of I.A. Goncharova?
1. A dream is a revelation of the hero’s spiritual state, while it acquires a special symbolic meaning: a dream is a symbol of the hero’s entire life position, his spiritual sleep.
2. Dream - shows the hero’s dream, but its paradox is that it is directed not to the future, but to the past.
Who is telling us the dream?
(The dream is conveyed by the narrator. It is as if he is outside the depicted world of Oblomovka. Behind what has been said, certain assessments and attitudes towards what the hero sees are guessed.)
The hero dreams of Oblomovka, in his dream it is emphasizedidyllic image.
Vocabulary work:
What is an idyll?
(Image of a peaceful rural life against the backdrop of beautiful nature. 3. peaceful, happy existence. (S.I. Ozhegov. Dictionary of the Russian language).)
The genre of the chapter is close to a folk fairy tale, in which the world rests unshakably on goodness, and, of course,idylls. The genre of this chapter can also be attributed to the idyll genre.
What do you think are the characteristics of an idyllic world?
( Main features of the idyllic world:
-ideal landscape
- unity of man and nature
-closedness of space
- uncertainty of time
-mythical character
- lack of plot
- conflict-free.
Teacher: What is the composition of the chapter?
The entire text can be divided into three main parts:
1) the first two paragraphs (wonderful corner);
2) from the 5th to the 17th sentences - a picture of wild nature;
3) last paragraph (peaceful corner). The large middle part can also be subdivided into more small, associated with the main images of the text: man, mo rivers, mountains and abysses.
The composition of the text is based on opposition and gra date. The wonderful land is contrasted with wild nature; to her man is opposed. Image of the wildest nature based on gradation - increasing the impression of something without grain inferior, terrible, hostile to a person. Human condition in the face of wild nature is also conveyed using gradation: first it is said that a person becomes sad when view of the sea, and gradually comes to the conclusion that he is completely disappears against the background of a majestic picture, even the sky recedes elk from people. This enhances the impression of loneliness, nothing the identity and helplessness of man in the face of wild nature.
The beginning and end of the passage seem to close the circle, framing central part. This frame carries the main idea: emphasize the blessings of the world in which they live Movtsy.

Teacher: So, we find ourselves in the “blessed corner”... (reading the beginning of the chapter by the student)
"Where are we? To what blessed corner of the earth did Oblomov’s dream take us? What a wonderful land! No, really, there are seas there, no high mountains, rocks and abysses, no dense forests - there is nothing grandiose, wild and gloomy...
The sky there, it seems, is pressing closer to the earth, but not in order to throw more arrows, but perhaps only to hug it tighter, with love: it spreads out so low above your head, like a parent’s reliable roof, to protect, it seems, the chosen one a corner from all adversity.
The sun shines there brightly and hotly for about six months and then does not suddenly leave there, as if reluctantly, as if it were turning back to look once or twice at its favorite place and give it a clear, warm day in the fall, amidst bad weather.
The mountains there seem to be just models of those terrible mountains erected somewhere that terrify the imagination. This is a series of gentle hills, from which it is customary to ride, frolicking, on your back or while sitting on them, in thought at the setting sun.
The river runs merrily, frolicking and playing; it either spills into a wide pond, then tends to quickly , or he becomes quiet, as if deep in thought, and crawls a little over the pebbles, releasing playful streams on the sides, under the murmur of which he sweetly dozes.
The entire corner of fifteen or twenty miles around was a series of picturesque sketches, cheerful, smiling landscapes. The sandy and sloping banks of a bright river, small bushes creeping up from a hill to the water, a curved ravine with a stream at the bottom and a birch grove - everything seemed to have been deliberately tidied up one by one and masterfully drawn.
A heart exhausted by worries or not at all familiar with them asks to hide in this forgotten corner and live a happiness unknown to anyone. Everything there promises a calm, long-term life until the hair turns yellow and an unnoticeable, sleep-like death.”
Teacher: What means of expression does Goncharov use when describing the “wonderful land”?(blessed corner; wonderful land; favorite place; picturesque sketches; cheerful, smiling landscapes, everything is quiet and sleepy, etc.
TEACHER
Why Goncharov to contrast the peaceful corner (Oblomovka)chooses the sea, mountains, abysses?
The sea, mountains and abysses are favorite images of romance ical literature associated in romanticism with such concepts We are like eternal restlessness, struggle, a constant desire for freedom, for overcoming everyday life. Contrasting these images of a peaceful corner, Goncharov enhances the impression of 06 as if from a closed, quiet, blessed world, where peace reigns, and at the same time, as it were, emphasizes its literary position: rejection of romanticism as a method, depiction wanting something unusual, exceptional, far from ordinary military life.
Teacher: And here we are in Oblomovka... Who inhabited the “wonderful land” in this description? (Peasants )
What details of peasant life appeared in the text?(Spring, preparing the peasant for work, waiting and welcoming the rain. Cows, chickens, sheep walk through the fields and the village)

Teacher:
What was the main occupation of the Oblomovites?
Find a description of the pie and the “ritual” of making and eating it.
With the help of what artistic means does the writer poetize this physiological state of a person?
Prove that the image of the pie has a symbolic meaning.
(Individual task “For there was a chat about food and the first and most important concern in Oblomovka. What calves grew fat there for the annual holidays! What a bird was raised! How many subtle considerations, how many activities and worries go into courting her! Turkeys and chickens assigned to name days and other special days were fattened with nuts; The geese were deprived of exercise and forced to hang motionless in a bag several days before the holiday, so that they would swim with fat. What stocks there were of jams, pickles, and cookies! What honeys, what kvass were brewed, what pies were baked in Oblomovka!”
On Sundays and holidays, these hardworking ants also did not stop: then the knocking of knives in the kitchen was heard more often and louder; the woman made the journey from the barn to the kitchen several times with double the amount of flour and eggs; there was more moaning and bloodshed in the poultry yard. They baked a gigantic pie, which the gentlemen themselves ate the next day; on the third and fourth days, the leftovers went to the maiden room; the pie lived until Friday, so that one completely stale end, without any filling, went, as a special favor, to Antipus, who, crossing himself, undauntedly destroyed this curious fossil with a crash, enjoying more the knowledge that this was the master's pie than the pie itself, like an archaeologist who enjoys drinking crappy wine from a shard of some thousand-year-old pottery.
Teacher:
There is a real cult of pie in Oblomovka. Making a huge pastry and eating it resembles some kind of sacred ceremony, performed strictly according to the calendar, week after week, year after year.
Let's remember thatpie in the popular worldview - one of the most visualcharacters happy, abundant, gracious life. Pie is a “feast in the mountains”, a cornucopia, the pinnacle of general joy and contentment. Feasting, festive people gather around the pie. Warmth and fragrance emanate from the pie; pie - central andmost archaic symbol of people's utopia. Oblomovka is a forgotten, miraculously surviving “blessed corner” - a fragment of Eden. To the local inhabitantsbroke off to finish eating an archaeological fragment - a piece of a once huge pie.The word “pie” itself is consonant with the word “feast”. It's a holidaynew feast dish. And indeed, “feast” is a centa real event of every day for Oblomovites; they spendtheir life is not in labor, they consider labor a punishment, but in feasts, for their life is a harmonyniya, where both the physical and spiritual principles are inextricably fused.
Vocabulary work :
Eden -paradise, place of abundance
Teacher:
Let us note the features of the image of space and time in the episode “Oblomov’s Dream”
Find a description of the passage of time in Oblomovka.
« Everything promises a peaceful, long-lasting life until the hair turns yellow and an unnoticeable, sleep-like death.
The annual cycle occurs there correctly and calmly.
According to the calendar, spring will come in March. Winter will maintain its character until the indicated period of warmth. In November, snow and frost begin. Summer is especially delightful in that region. Then the time will come for rituals, feasts, and finally the wedding; The whole pathos of life was focused on this.
Then repetitions began: the birth of children, rituals, feasts, until the funeral changed the scenery; but not for long: some people are inferior to others, children become young men and at the same time grooms, they get married, produce their own kind - and so life according to this program stretches on in a continuous monotonous fabric, imperceptibly ending at the very grave.”
Teacher:
Cmdamn inOblomovke is perceived as a natural transitionone type of sleep into another - eternal sleep.
We depicted Oblomovka’s sleepy kingdom as a vicious circle; we imagined Oblomov’s life in St. Petersburg on Gorokhovaya as a vicious circle. There is a certain pattern to this.
Which words are repeated more often? Why?
The most frequently heard words are “silence, sleep, peace.” A picture of a leisurely, unhurried, lazy life is created. Time seems to slow down. The author conveys the joy of a measured life, the enjoyment of it. Little Ilyusha grows up in an atmosphere of bliss.
Teacher:
What can be concluded?
(Conclusion: no one seeks to leave this world, because it is alien and hostile there. They are quite satisfied with their life. Love, birth, marriage, death, this circle of life is unchanged, like the seasons. The calendar, ritual cycle are centuries-old folk traditions) .
Teacher:
There are a lot of symbolic images in this chapter. Decipher the symbolic meaning of the ravine.
(When Ilyusha ran away from his nanny, he wanted to “get into the birch forest and the dovecote” and watch the insects. Here the curiosity characteristic of any child is manifested.
“He wants to run into the ravine; the child ran to the edge, closed his eyes, wanted to look into the crater of a volcano... but suddenly all the rumors and legends about this ravine rose up before him: he was seized by horror, and he was neither alive nor dead, trembling with fear, rushing to the nanny.” .
Teacher:
A ravine is unfamiliar, dangerous. The story about the monster in the ravine (“there, they say, are goblins, robbers, and terrible animals”) is conveyed by the author comically. The comparison “like a volcano crater” frightens Ilyusha, for him this is an unknown world, and he remembers all the superstitions he heard from adults.
Teacher:
Part of the chapter is like a fairy tale.
Why does the fairy tale play such an important role in Oblomovka?
(Fairy tales: they promise mountains of gold, they talk about an unknown country where rivers of honey and milk flow, where no one does anything. The good sorceress chooses a favorite for herself - a quiet and harmless (lazy person), whom everyone offends, and showers him with goodness.).
What are Oblomov's favorite fairy tale characters?
What meaning is revealed when the image of Oblomov is brought closer to the folklore images of Emelya and Ilya Muromets?
Teacher:
What are the customs and rituals of the Oblomovites? Find in the text.
(« Our poor ancestors lived gropingly, naively marveling at everything. For them, death occurred from the dead person who had previously been carried out of the house with his head, and not with his feet from the gate; the fire was caused by a dog howling outside the window for three nights. They believed both werewolves and the dead. They will tell them that a haystack was walking under the window - they will not think twice and will believe it. The belief in the miraculous is strong in Oblomovka.”
Teacher:
Conclusion: All life consists of ritual holidays. This indicates the mythological consciousness of people. What is natural for others is here mysterious and sacred. The special relationship to the time of day is also mythological: evening time is dangerous, afternoon time has powerful powers. The sky presses closer to the earth - a reproduction of the myth of the marriage of earth and sky.)

What image is central in the chapter “Oblomov’s Dream”, uniting all its fragments?
(The image of the mother (as mother-woman and mother-nature) unites all the elements of the chapter and creates the image of the native space, where everything is warmed by maternal love, care, where everything lives according to the laws of following the traditions of the fathers. “The norm of life was prepared and taught to Oblomov by his parents, and they accepted it, also ready-made, from their grandfather, and grandfather from their great-grandfather. And so the river of life flowed, in laziness, apathy.
What are Ilya Ilyich’s parents doing? (reading study)
How do your parents feel about Ilyusha? What about those around you? Read it.
Teacher:
Another important moment in the life of the Oblomovites. What is the attitude of Oblomovites towards education and books?
Oblomovites are ignorant and superstitious people.
No one bothered themselves with mental labor. The book was looked at as a thing intended for entertainment." So « Oblomovs understood the benefits of enlightenment, but only external . They still had a vague and distant concept of the inner need for teaching. They dreamed of secretly bypassing the stones and obstacles scattered along the path of enlightenment, without bothering to jump over them, that is, to study lightly, not to the point of exhaustion of soul and body.”
Goncharov resorts to paraphrase so that the reader comprehends what he heard and understands the author’s attitude to what was said.
Teacher:
Do adult Oblomovites understand the need for education?
(Old people - yes, but only the external side. They had very vague ideas about the internal need for training. They only need some brilliant advantages for Ilyusha).
Teacher:
Who and how resists Oblomovka’s influence on the teenager Ilya?
(Stolz, who received a practical labor education).
Has the new influence been successful?
(No. “You can’t go today; Thursday is a holiday, is it worth driving back and forth?” “Today is not the time for studying, parent’s week.” “Somehow your eyes are not fresh today. Stay at home this week.”)
Are there any fairy-tale features in this passage?
( No. The syllable of the story changes.This part is more suitable for Stolz’s view, which, according to the author, should resist Oblomov’s dream, debunk Ilya’s fairy-tale consciousness, and make it modern).
(Why does the scene end with a fun snowball fight?
(Oblomov subconsciously craves activity).
Teacher:
What is the meaning of the hero's last name?
Let us pay attention to the semantic meaning of the hero’s name: Ilya Ilyich is a sign of the repetition of his father, his life. The surname also helps reveal character. It has a common root with the Old Russian word “oblo” - circle, wheel (hence, “cloud”, “region”). It is the circle that is associated with Ilya Ilyich. His life goes in a closed cycle, that is, in a circle, without noticeable forward movement.
This meaning is quite consistent with the soft-rounded man Oblomov and his round, peacefully blissful patrimony. Although in the literature about Goncharov there are other opinions about the origin of the surname of the main character of the novel “Oblomov” - from another archaic word “oblomon”, which means sleep. But even more clearly in the surname of Ilya Ilyich the meaning of FLUSH appears. According to researchers of Goncharov’s work, Oblomov’s existence is a fragment of a once full and all-encompassing life, it is a fragment of Eden as symbol happy, abundant, gracious life. This is also a fragment of the old, patriarchal way of Russian life, poeticized by Goncharov. The surname of the main character of the novel also contains the meaning of a fragment of serfdom, because the novel was created in the post-reform era and was its bright, brilliant embodiment.
Teacher:
Thus, Oblomovka in the hero’s mind acquires the features of an absolute ideal, Oblomovka is a utopian dream.
So, Oblomov’s moral ideal is an integral harmonious personality, the social ideal is a patriarchal, unchanging Russia. This is precisely what explains the poeticization of the patriarchal way of life.
Teacher:
Let's return to the topic of the lesson “We all come from childhood.” The relevance of the novel's sound. « There is a significant part of Oblomov in each of us.” Is this really true?
STUDENT
Individual task
A modern reader's view of the novel as a whole and, in particular, of the episode
It only seems that only in a blessed corner ke the land where Oblomov’s dream took us, “happy people lived thinking that it shouldn’t and couldn’t be any other way, confident that everyone else lives exactly the same way and that life otherwise it’s a sin.” In reality, such happiness is a dream kingdom (“Like a lump of dough, curled up and lying there”) – the secret dream of more than one Oblomov and not only the prerogative gone into distant history XIX century.
If you look around, it’s not difficult you can see next to you not just one, not a hundred, not a thousand people for whom fairy tales are mixed with life, and they unconsciously sad: “why is a fairy tale not life, but life not a fairy tale"; who, through centuries and generations, has a sword in their consciousness to take a walk, “where there are no worries and sorrows”; who has any left the disposition to lie on the stove, walk around in a ready-made, unearned dress and eat at the expense of the good sorceress; who has an idle imagination, not in a dream, but in reality goes to the unknown side, "where there are no nights, no cold, where miracles happen all the time, where rivers of honey and milk flow, where no one does anything all year round, and all they do is walk every day..."
"And to this day the Russian man among the surrounding goy, devoid of fiction, loves to believe reality seductive tales of antiquity, and for a long time, maybe Perhaps he has not yet renounced this faith" - Goncharov writes in Oblomov, presumably, about his time, and we are only repeating after him, noting tea the same thing already in yours, XXI century.
No, no matter what you say, but the life position according to which the ideal of life is in peace and inaction, not formed yesterday I was afraid he wouldn’t die tomorrow. And the best confirmation of this The idea in Goncharov’s novel is the episode with the collapse of part of the gallery. Born a writer two centuries ago ass, he is still almost every day almost unchanged present in television news broadcasts dachas And we are like genuine bummers Tsy, we look and gasp, we are amazed, horrified and reproached each other, and sometimes we even get so angry. Well, exactly like in Oblomov’s dream, only with us it’s all in reality.
Let’s compare: Oblomov’s people from Goncharov’s novel “Another” They neither wanted nor loved life. They would be sorry if circumstances brought changes to their life, whatever they might be. They would be consumed by melancholy if tomorrow were not similar to today, and the day after tomorrow to tomorrow.”
Now let's look around us and see how modern regular Oblomovites are sincerely perplexed: “Why do they need to variety, changes, accidents, which were asked for are there others? Let others drink this cup, and they, the Oblomovites, don’t care about anything. Let others live as they want." Goncharova's novel makes you think about a person's active life position, his citizenship.
This is where the talent of a true reader lies: in capabilities Today hear in a classic work, written in a completely different time, about other people dyakh, thoughts not only about the past, but directly related to you and your life.
Otherwise, what would be the point in the current debate about the nature and essence of the reforms of Ivan the Terrible, Peter I , Stolypin, Gorbachev, etc. These reformers were driven by the idea of violating the eternal holiday of Oblomovka, in which “work is taken off one’s shoulders like a yoke,” to change the belief that the main dignity of the Russian national character is gentleness, delicacy, condescension, allowing one to break custom and not obey charter.
To today's readers and, above all, to her young part will have to answer many questions themselves: “To how you have to live to get even a drop of something human joy?
Spend your entire life lying on the couch doing nothing? Or proceed from the fact that man was created for business, and not for lying on your native Russian stove?
Extol your own benefit above all else? Or proceed from the fact that there are other values in the world?
Stay in the happy state of “I don’t know anything” and “...our name is legion”? Or be susceptible to everything What do the world and people around you offer?”
These questions are read in the novel Iva on Goncharov's "Oblomov", written in 1858 - floor a century ago.
And each of us must draw the right conclusion after reading the novel.

Teacher:
What is the clue to the character of the hero proposed by the author? Human traits are formed in childhood. Oblomov’s pure, gentle soul, his “dovelike” meekness have their origins in Oblomovka. But laziness and helplessness also come from there. That's why this key chapter of the novel is so important to us. The Russian character is shown through the image of Oblomov. Russia is shown through Oblomovka. And it is bitter to admit that this is the fate of Russia.
What is Russian laziness? Each of you will answer this question in your own way.
Is the image of Oblomov, his native village, satirical or nostalgic? Both. I.A. Goncharov admitted in his essay “In the Motherland”: “I wrote my life.”
Today we took Oblomov on a virtual journey into his childhood, looked at the hero to understand “why he is like this.” There is a lot that is attractive about him: he is charming, kind, gentle, poetic, and able to think. But he turned out to be unprepared for life: he was not taught to work, to act independently, and his vivid imagination and curiosity were not encouraged. And as a result, a decent, intelligent person turned into a parody of a person, and his name became a household name.
And today’s conversation is valuable for you and as future parents. Oblomov is an example of how not to educate. Goncharov wrote:“And the child looked and observed everything with his childish way, nothingnon-missing mind" Remember: “You wouldn’t need another example when your father’s example is in your eyes.” It all starts from childhood.
