"I do not like your irony ...": an analysis of NA's poem. Nekrasov

In addition to socially directed poetry, NA Nekrasov's soul always had a place for personal feelings. He loved and was loved. This was reflected in a group of poems, which are usually called the "Panayev cycle." An example is the poem "I do not like your irony ...". The analysis will be given below, but for now let us briefly get acquainted with his lyrical heroine.

Avdotya Panayeva

A charming intelligent woman, which her parents hurriedly married, because the girl with all her heart longed for emancipation. She imitated George Sand, sought to wear men's clothes and - oh, horror! - I painted my mustache! Married to a journalist Ivan Panayev, who was not faithful and did not interfere with the freedom of his wife. They had a brilliant literary society in the salon, and everyone was in love with Avdotya Yakovlevna, a beautiful and clever girl. But she answered, not at once, only at the crazy, crazy feelings of Nikolai Alekseevich, who, unable to swim, was drowning in front of her in the Fontanka. Thus began a great feeling that lasted about twenty years. But everything ends in the world. And when the feelings began to cool down, then Nikolai Alekseevich wrote: "I do not like your irony ...". The analysis of the poem will be carried out according to plan.

History of creation

Presumably it was written already five years after the beginning of close relations in 1850, and published in Sovremennik in 1855. What could have served to cool such stormy feelings? After all, A. Ya. Panayeva wrote about them poems. Let's try to reflect on the lines of Nikolai Alekseevich "I do not like your irony ...", the analysis of which is part of our task.

Genre of the poem

This is an intimate lyric of a great civic poet. The work tells about the originated feelings in the past tense, about their condition and the inevitable outcome and the supposed break in the present tense. Apparently, their relationship became habitual and monotonous and did not give such a plentiful food for inspiration, like civil poetry. Therefore, the relationship began to appear on the part of Avdotya Yakovlevna irony, which only exacerbated the coldness of Nekrasov. So there was a poem "I do not like your irony ...", the analysis of which we begin. But the poet should be given credit, he directly and delicately told his chosen one that it was in her behavior that he did not like, not hiding anything.

The theme was the emergence of love, its gradual dying and complete cooling.

The main idea - love should be cherished, because this feeling is rare and is not given to everyone.

Composition

ON. Nekrasov divided into three stanzas "I do not like your irony ...". Analysis of the poem, we, of course, begin with the first.

The lyrical hero addresses directly and simply to a close woman and asks him to stop talking ironically with him. Apparently, sharp on the tongue Avdotya Yakovlevna could not restrain herself when she did not like something when she in some way saw a disrespectful or inattentive attitude toward herself. In the opinion of the lyrical hero, the irony should belong only to those who have experienced their desires or never met them. And in both of them, so ardently loved, there are still tongues of the flame of love, and they warm the soul. It's too early for them to indulge in irony: we must carefully store what they have today.

In the second stanza of the poem "I do not like your irony ..." Nekrasov (the analysis we are now conducting) shows the behavior of his beloved woman. She is still trying to prolong their visits "shyly and gently." She, very feminine, is still devoted to him and can not live without these meetings. And he? He is full of passion. The lyrical hero is still hot and ardent, the "jealous dreams" boil over him. Therefore, he asks not to sneer and not to accelerate the denouement. All the same, it will inevitably come to them, but let the beautiful relations last longer.

The third stanza is very sad. The poet does not hide either from himself or from his beloved, that their parting will come soon. Their passions are boiling more and more. They are full of the last thirst for love, but "the heart is a secret cold and melancholy." The lyrical hero bitterly states this fact. But from it you can not hide anywhere. Therefore, it is not ironic to destroy the former beautiful and tiring, tender passion.

The irony, which initially contains a mockery, offends the lyric hero, so he says: "I do not like your irony ...". The analysis of the poem reveals the hidden context of Avdotya Yakovlevna's utterances and the direct sincere words of the lyric hero. He urges his lady of heart not to show his negative attitude about and without reason, but to express sympathy and understanding to him.

Analysis of the verse "I do not like your irony ..."

The poem is written with a five-legged iambic, but there are a lot of omissions for stresses (pyrrhic). They are transmitted to the reader the excitement of the poet. For example, with the Pyrrhic, the first line in the first stanza begins, it also ends, with an exclamation point underlined.

Each stanza consists of five lines, but the rhymes in each stanza are different. The poet uses the circular (the first stanza), the cross (second stanza), the mixed (the third). The inner turmoil of the lyrical hero manifests itself in this way to the fullest.

The poem is built on contrasts. It contrasts cold and hot, boiling and glaciation. Metaphorically, love is compared with the turbulent flow of the river, "but the waves are colder than the storm ...". After these final lines, there is a significant ellipsis. The river is boiling, but it will freeze anyway, and the cold scuffs them both, "fervently loved." The former boiling tenderness and passion of relationships metaphorically contrasted "secret cold and longing."

Epithets have a negative coloring: an inevitable denouement, jealous alarms, a last thirst. Others, on the contrary, are painted positively: feelings are "rebellious" boiling, the beloved is waiting for the meeting "shyly and tenderly".

Epilogue

Nekrasov and Panayeva broke up. Then her husband died, then she lived alone, and after that she happily married and gave birth to a child. However, the poet loved Panayev and, in spite of his marriage, devoting his poems to him ("Three Elegies") and mentioned in his will.
