Aphorisms of Bazarov as a reflection of the hero's outlook

I. Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons" - a controversial, interesting, not lost relevance in our days. Relations between generations, innovation and continuity, the struggle of the old with the advanced, respect for life experience, adherence to authority and the ability to find their own way of life - these and many other problems are considered thoroughly and comprehensively in the work. As if alive, "old Kirsanovs" stand in front of us, symbolizing the older generation, and "youth" - Arkady and his friend Eugene Bazarov.

Special person

Being the central figure of the novel, it is Bazarov who carries the main ideological and semantic load of the work. This is quite true, because he is an outstanding personality, a strong and deep nature. Turgenev calls him "self-defeated," emphasizing that the lion's share of his outstanding qualities the hero formed and brought up in himself. Aphorisms of Bazarov, many of which are represented in the text of the work, help the writer to reveal more clearly, and to us, readers, to understand the paradoxical, peculiar personality of Eugene Vasilyevich, to trace the stages of his mental and spiritual development, the formation of the world outlook.

Views on nature and art

If you try to group all of Bazarov's aphorisms by semantic features, you can see this pattern. The hero expresses himself about things that are very exciting for the author himself. And Turgenev, who does not always agree with his brainchild, argues with Bazarov, giving "iron" arguments. This concerns, first of all, the views of the young raznochintsy on nature and art. Bazarov's aphorisms of this subject give out in him a materialist to the tips of the nails, in all spheres of life seeking to find only practical benefit. Peremptorily, he argues that nature is not a temple of divine beauty and harmony, but only a workshop, and a person in it not only receives aesthetic pleasure and joy from communicating with the beautiful, but should work. Also a utility character belongs to the art. In his opinion, Rafael is not worth a copper penny, and a good chemist is much more useful than all poets and writers put together.

Author and hero

Naturally, Turgenev, a delicate connoisseur of the beauty of the surrounding world, who inspired her in her works with inspiration, does not accept such aphorisms of Bazarov, can not agree with them. Using the reception of contrast, he answers his hero by the fact that in the next scene he describes the unique charm of the summer evening, the sweetness of the scented nature of the air, the high transparency of the twilight sky in the sparkling brilliance of the stars. Landscape sketch is transmitted by the author through Nikolay Petrovich Kirsanov, in many respects close to Turgenev in the way of thoughts, character and spiritual values. And the poems that were remembered by the hero correspond to the poetic picture of the evening nature. So Turgenev refutes the functional-consumer attitude to everything beautiful, preached by Bazarov. A person deprived of an aesthetic principle can not be a full-fledged person, can not be that spiritual being that the Lord created him. Turgenev is convinced of this. And that's why he once again very firmly debunked these aphorisms of Bazarov. "Fathers and children" is a novel not only about the socio-political situation in Russia in the second half of the 19th century. This is also a psychological novel about internal storms and the evolution of the soul. In the scene of Bazarov's recognition of love for Odintsov, in order to brighten the storm of feelings and emotions in the hero's soul, the writer again paints the night landscape. And already completely differently perceives it Eugene, without any ostentatious skepticism. After all, the state of nature was extremely similar to his own!

Philosophical views

But not all of Evgeny Bazarov's aphorisms are perceived by the author "with bayonets", although they sometimes seem excessively categorical. For example, stoicism, a real fighting spirit of his words: "Who is angry with his pain - he will certainly win it." And we remember how bravely Bazarov died, how staunchly he stood in the face of physical and moral suffering. No wonder Pisarev called the last moments of the hero's life a feat. Another statement, outstanding and proud, and self-confidence, great conceit, but also the highest degree of human dignity, independence, we meet in the text of the novel: "And as for the time - why should I depend on it? Let it be better it depends on me. " Indeed, only a self-sufficient person could say so!

Bazarov's language - bright and imaginative - is not limited to the above statements, which have long become winged. To better understand and understand the hero - read the text of the novel! "Fathers and children" are worth your time!
