We do an independent analysis of the poem "Stranger"

Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Blok was a special person with a subtle soul organization and a penchant for secluded reflections, perhaps this was the main reason for his choice of a life path as a "master of rhymes". In Russian literature he took his rightful place as a symbolist poet, who created his amazing works of art in the cultural period of the Silver Age.

One of the brightest and most memorable readership was Blok's "Stranger's" verse. The time of his writing (1906) falls on one of the most difficult periods of the poet's life. Then 26-year-old Alexander Blok hard experienced a temporary break in relations with his beloved wife - Lyubov Dmitrievna Mendeleeva (it was to him that he had previously dedicated his "Poems on the Beautiful Lady"), the reason for which was her relationship with the poet's friend, Andrei Bely.

An analysis of the poem "Stranger" clearly shows the whole gamut of feelings and experiences of the young poet in the dramatic period of family conflicts. At the same time, the cycle of poems, which later became part of the "Terrible World" collection, is also relevant. Through renunciation of the mundane and rough reality, pain of loneliness and dreams of the sublime beauty of another, unreal world, Blok tries to comprehend the reality surrounding him and find in it a secret key that opens the door to the perfect world of beauty and harmony.

Carrying out the analysis of Blok's "Stranger" poem, we can clearly see the contradictions between the gross and vulgar world of reality and the ideal ideas about the world that live in the soul of the poet. Blok clearly speaks about this in the closing lines of the poem: "In my soul lies the treasure, and the key is entrusted only to me."

Contradictions of the worlds are exposed through bright and contrasting images, opposed to each other. Here we notice such oppositions as the "spring and nagging spirit", the lexical repetitions of "child crying" and "female squeal," the boredom of "country cottages" and the "meaninglessly twisted disc" of the moon, and the vulgarity walking among the ditches with the ladies of "experienced wits" .

An analysis of the verse of the Bloc The Stranger shows us how the poet's soul wants to rebel against vulgar everyday life, but since all events in the surrounding reality are predictable and invincible in their constancy, which is clearly shown in the poem by repeating the phrase "and every evening" three times, the young dreamer prefers to remain daily "Humble and deafened by wine," as "a tart and mysterious moisture." It seems that it is this "tart moisture" that allows him to dissolve the surrounding reality, enveloping it with "spirits and fogs" (read - wine pairs), allowing to see everything in a different light.

An analysis of the poem "Stranger" shows that the mention of "fogs" occurs twice in the text of the work, namely, when the stranger "in a foggy window moves" and when she alone at the window "breathes spirits and fogs". It is these "fogs" that create in the imagination of the lyrical hero of the poem the whole romantic image of a stranger ("Is it only me who dreams?" He mentally asks), which, in fact, according to the poet himself, in reality is only a "drunken monster" .

An analysis of the poem "Stranger" gives an answer to the question of finding a way out into another reality of the ideal world. In the last lines the poet exclaims: "I know: the truth is in the wine," which means that he has already found his "key" to the "treasure" of the ideal world of his own soul.
