The main character of the novel “”, Grigory Alexandrovich, was endowed with an unusually tragic fate. His actions, his actions very often lead to undesirable events not only in his life, but also in the destinies of other people. Using examples from the novel's stories, we can see how cold and selfish Pechorin is.
Or maybe he's just deeply unhappy? Maybe him inner world Are you constantly confused by what is happening around you? There is no definite answer! But, with all this, people who were close to Gregory very often experienced suffering and pain.
Friendly relations with Maxim Maksimych at the last meeting turn the good-natured staff captain into an embittered and offended old man. And all this happens because of the dryness and rudeness of the main character. Maxim Maksimych waits with an open soul to meet Pechorin, but receives only a cold greeting in return. What happens? Evil begets and causes reciprocal evil! And all because of Gregory’s behavior.
The hero's love relationships with women can be called unsuccessful and unhappy. All his beloved ladies, after parting, experienced severe mental anguish. Love seemed to Pechorin the same as the feelings of noble ladies. Only Gregory was trying to find something completely different in a woman! The relationship with the princess was just a game that Pechorin started in order to teach Grushnitsky a lesson. Feelings for Vera were the most real of all love relationship, but the hero realized this only when he lost his beloved forever.
Friendly ties with end with his death in a duel with Pechorin. The main character gives several opportunities to his friend in order to apologize and correct the current situation. But the proud and proud officer does not compromise, and therefore, ultimately, dies at the hands of Grigory Alexandrovich.
And the episode with Lieutenant Vulich makes us think that Pechorin also has secret powers of prediction. After a fight with fate, the lieutenant remains alive, but Pechorin has a presentiment of him imminent death. That's what happens!
Means, main character The novel really had a tragic fate. From the message before “Pechorin’s Notes” we learn that Gregory dies on the way from Persia. He could never find his happiness, he could never find true love, understand what joy and sincerity are. In addition, he crippled the fates of many people who were close to him.
“Hero of Our Time,” written by M. Yu. Lermontov in 1840, became the first psychological novel V Russian literature. The author set himself the goal of showing in detail and in many ways the character of the main actor, fallen out of the cycle of a dying era.
It seems to me that the tragedy of the fate of Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin lies in his complex character. Lermontov presented to the reader psychological picture a contemporary with a dual nature.
Coldness, indifference, selfishness, wastefulness
and a penchant for introspection were inherent in many representatives “ extra people”, doomed to inaction. The smart, educated hero is bored and sad from the meaninglessly changing days, from a series of predictable events.
Pechorin does not trust either friendship or love, and therefore suffers from loneliness. He himself is not capable of deep feelings and brings suffering to those around him. Grigory feels that two people coexist within him and this explains the duality of behavior. This idea is confirmed by Maxim Maksimovich with a story about Pechorin, who could boldly go hunt a wild boar alone in bad weather, and
sometimes he looked like a coward - he shuddered and turned pale from the knocking of the window shutters.
The hero's behavior is contradictory, he quickly cools down to any endeavors, and cannot find his purpose. Just remember his desire to win Bela’s favor and his quick cooling towards the mountain beauty who fell in love with him. Pechorin's personality emerges from the relationships he enters into with others. His actions are worthy of condemnation, but one can understand the hero, because he belongs to the people of his time who had become disillusioned with life.
Not finding the meaning of existence, Pechorin decides to leave on a long journey that will one day end in death. He himself is unpleasant that he becomes the cause of other people’s troubles: because of him, Bela and Grushnitsky die, Vera and Princess Mary suffer, Maxim Maksimovich is undeservedly offended. The tragedy of the hero is that he rushes about in search of his place in life, but at the same time he always acts as he sees fit.
Thus, the tragedy of the fate of Lermontov’s hero lies in himself: in his character, in the analysis of any situation. The burden of knowledge made him a cynic, he lost his naturalness and simplicity. As a result, Pechorin has no goals, no obligations, no attachments... But if the person himself loses interest in life, seeing only boredom in it, then even the healing power of nature is unlikely to be able to heal the soul.

M. Yu. Lermontov
M. Yu. Lermontov's novel "A Hero of Our Time" was created in the era of government reaction, which brought to life a whole gallery of "superfluous" people. Pechorin is “Onegin of his time” (Belinsky). Lermontov's hero is a man tragic fate. He contains “immense powers” in his soul, but there is a lot of evil on his conscience. Pechorin, by his own admission, invariably plays “the role of an ax in the hands of fate,” “a necessary character in every fifth act.” How does Lermontov feel about his hero? The writer is trying to understand the essence and origins of the tragedy of Pechorin’s fate. “It will also be that the disease is indicated, but God knows how to cure it!”
Pechorin greedily seeks applications for his extraordinary abilities, “immense spiritual powers,” but is doomed by historical reality and the peculiarities of his mental makeup to tragic loneliness. At the same time, he admits: “I like to doubt everything: this disposition does not interfere with the decisiveness of my character; on the contrary... I always boldly move forward when I don’t know what awaits me. After all, worse than death nothing will happen, but you won’t escape death!”
Pechorin is lonely. The hero's attempt to find natural, simple happiness in the love of the mountain woman Bela ends in failure. Pechorin openly admits to Maxim Maksimych: “... the love of a savage is given to a few better than love noble lady; the ignorance and simple-heartedness of one are just as annoying as the coquetry of the other." The hero is doomed to misunderstanding of those around him (the only exceptions are Werner and Vera), his inner world is not able to be comprehended by either the beautiful "savage" Bela or the kind-hearted Maxim Maksimych. However, let us remember that at the first meeting with Grigory Aleksandrovich, the staff captain is able to notice only minor features of Pechorin’s appearance and the fact that the “thin” ensign was recently in the Caucasus. Maxim Maksimych does not understand the depth of Pechorin’s suffering, having found himself an involuntary witness to the death of Bela: “.. .his face did not express anything special, and I felt annoyed: if I were in his place, I would have died of grief...” And only from the casually dropped remark that “Pechorin was unwell for a long time, lost weight,” we guess about the true strength of the experience
y Grigory Alexandrovich.
Last meeting Pechorin with Maxim Maksimych clearly confirms the idea that “evil begets evil.” Pechorin's indifference to his old "friend" leads to the fact that "good Maxim Maksimych became a stubborn, grumpy staff captain." The officer-narrator guesses that Grigory Alexandrovich’s behavior is not a manifestation of spiritual emptiness and selfishness. Special attention attracted by Pechorin's eyes, which "did not laugh when he laughed... This is a sign of either an evil disposition or deep, constant sadness." What is the reason for such sadness? We find the answer to this question in Pechorin's Journal.
Pechorin's notes are preceded by a message that he died on the way from Persia. Pechorin never finds a worthy use for his extraordinary abilities. The stories "Taman", "Princess Mary", "Fatalist" confirm this. Of course, the hero is head and shoulders above empty adjutants and pompous dandies who “drink, but not water, walk little, dawdle only in passing... play and complain of boredom.” Grigory Aleksandrovich perfectly sees the insignificance of Grushnitsky, who dreams of “becoming the hero of a novel.” In Pechorin's actions one can sense deep intelligence and sober logical calculation. The entire plan of Mary's seduction is based on knowledge of the "living strings of the human heart." By evoking compassion for himself with a skillful story about his past, Pechorin forces Princess Mary to be the first to confess his love. Maybe we are looking at an empty rake, a seducer of women's hearts? No! The hero's last meeting with Princess Mary convinces of this. Pechorin's behavior is noble. He is trying to ease the suffering of the girl who loves him.
Pechorin, contrary to his own statements, is capable of sincere, great feelings, but the hero’s love is complex. Thus, the feeling for Vera awakens with renewed vigor when there is a danger of losing that one forever. the only woman, who understood Grigory Alexandrovich completely. “With the possibility of losing her forever, Faith became dearer to me than anything in the world - more valuable than life, honor, happiness!" - admits Pechorin. Having driven the horse on the way to Pyatigorsk, the hero "fell on the grass and, like a child, cried." This is the power of feelings! Pechorin's love is high, but tragic for himself and disastrous for those who loves him. Proof of this is the fate of Bela, Princess Mary and Vera.
The story with Grushnitsky is an illustration of the fact that Pechorin’s extraordinary abilities are wasted, on small, insignificant goals. However, in his attitude towards Grushnitsky, Pechorin is noble and honest in his own way. During a duel, he makes every effort to evoke belated repentance in his opponent, to awaken his conscience! Useless! Grushnitsky shoots first. “The bullet grazed my knee,” comments Pechorin. The play of good and evil in the hero’s soul is a great artistic discovery of Lermontov the realist. Before the duel, Grigory Alexandrovich makes a kind of deal with his own conscience. Nobility is combined with mercilessness: “I decided to provide all the benefits to Grushnitsky; I wanted to test him; a spark of generosity could awaken in his soul... I wanted to give myself the full right not to spare him if fate had mercy on me.” And Pechorin does not spare the enemy. The bloody corpse of Grushnitsky slides into the abyss... Victory does not bring Pechorin joy, the light fades in his eyes: “The sun seemed dim to me, its rays
e warmed up."
Let's sum it up" practical activities"Pechorina: because of a trifle, Azamat puts his life in serious danger; the beautiful Bela and her father die at the hands of Kazbich, and Kazbich himself loses his faithful Karagez; the fragile world of “honest smugglers” collapses; Grushnitsky is shot in a duel; Vera and the princess suffer deeply Mary; Vulich’s life ends tragically. What made Pechorin “an ax in the hands of fate”?
Lermontov does not introduce us to chronological biography your hero. The plot and composition of the novel are subordinated to one goal - to deepen the socio-psychological and philosophical analysis image of Pechorin. The hero appears the same in different stories of the cycle, does not change, does not evolve. This is a sign of early “deadness”, the fact that before us is really a half-corpse, in whom “some kind of secret cold reigns in the soul, when fire boils in the blood.” Many of Lermontov's contemporaries tried to limit all the richness of the image to one quality - egoism. Belinsky resolutely defended Pechorin from accusations of lacking high ideals: “You say that he is an egoist? But doesn’t he despise and hate himself for this? Doesn’t his heart long for pure and selfless love? No, this is not selfishness... "But what is this? Pechorin himself gives us the answer to the question: “My colorless youth was spent in a struggle with myself and the world; my best feelings, fearing ridicule, I buried in the depths of my heart; they died there...” Ambition, thirst for power, and
The desire to subjugate those around him to his will takes possession of the soul of Pechorin, who “from the storm of life... brought out only a few ideas - and not a single feeling.” The question of the meaning of life remains open in the novel: “...Why did I live? For what purpose was I born? And, it’s true, it existed, and, it’s true, I had a high purpose, because I feel immense strength in my soul.. But I did not guess this destination, I was carried away by the lures of passions, empty and ungrateful; from their furnace I emerged as hard and cold as iron, but I lost forever the ardor of noble aspirations, best color life."
Perhaps the tragedy of Pechorin’s fate is connected not only with the social conditions of the hero’s life (belonging to secular society, political reaction in Russia after the defeat of the Decembrist uprising), but also with the fact that a sophisticated ability for introspection and brilliant analytical thinking, “the burden of knowledge and doubt” lead a person to a loss of simplicity and naturalness. Even the healing power of nature is unable to heal the hero’s restless soul.
The image of Pechorin is eternal precisely because it is not limited to the social. The Pechorins still exist, they are next to us...
And the soul breaks out into space
From under the power of the Caucasian communities -

Drive, drive! Shadow of Pechortsna
He's catching up with me...

“WHY DID I LIVE? FOR WHAT PURPOSE WAS YOU BORN? The tragedy of the fate of Grigory Pechorin.
Dubakov S., 132 gr.
The entire life of the main character of M. Yu. Lermontov’s novel “A Hero of Our Time” can truly be called a tragedy. Why and who is to blame for this -
topics to which this essay is devoted.
So, Grigory Pechorin, was expelled from St. Petersburg for a certain “story” (obviously for a duel over a woman) to the Caucasus, several more stories happen to him on the way, he is demoted, goes to the Caucasus again, then travels for some time, and, returning from Persia home, dies. This is fate. But during all this time, he himself experienced a lot and influenced the lives of other people in many ways.
It must be said that this influence was not the best - during his life he destroyed many human destinies - Princess Mary Ligovskaya, Vera, Bela, Grushnitsky... Why, is he really such a villain? Is he doing this on purpose?
Or does it happen to him arbitrarily?
Generally speaking, Pechorin is an extraordinary person, intelligent, educated, strong-willed, brave... In addition, he is distinguished by a constant desire for action; Pechorin cannot stay in one place, in one environment, surrounded by the same people. Isn't that why he
cannot be happy with any woman, even with the one with whom he is in love? After a while, boredom overcomes him and he begins to look for something new. Is this why he ruins their destinies? Pechorin writes in his diary: “... the one in whose head more ideas were born acts more; because of this, a genius, chained to an bureaucratic desk, must die or go crazy...”. Pechorin is not tempted by such a fate, and he acts. Acts without regard for the feelings of other people, practically without paying attention to them. Yes, he is selfish. And this is his tragedy. But is Pechorin alone to blame for this?
No! And Pechorin himself, explaining to Mary, says: “... Such was
my fate since childhood. Everyone read on my face signs of bad qualities that were not there; but they were expected - and they were born...".
So, “everything.” Who does he mean? Naturally, society. Yes, the same society that interfered with Onegin and Lensky, which hated Chatsky, now Pechorin. So, Pechorin learned to hate, to lie, became secretive, he “buried his best feelings in the depths of his heart,
there they died."
So, on the one hand, extraordinary, clever man, on the other hand, an egoist who breaks hearts and destroys lives, he is an “evil genius” and
at the same time a victim of society.
In Pechorin's diary we read: "... my first pleasure is to subordinate to my will everything that surrounds me; to arouse for myself a feeling of love, devotion and fear - isn't this the first sign and the greatest triumph of power." So that’s what love is for him - just the satisfaction of his own ambition! But what about his love for Vera - is it the same? Partly, yes, there was a barrier between Pechorin and Vera. Vera was married, and this attracted Pechorin, who sought
like a true fighter, to overcome all obstacles, it is unknown how Pechorin would have behaved if this obstacle had not existed... But this love, love for Vera, however, is more than just a game, Vera was the only woman whom Pechorin truly loved , at the same time only
Vera knew and loved not the fictional Pechorin, but the real real Pechorin, with all his advantages and disadvantages, with all his vices. “I should hate you... You gave me nothing but suffering,” she says to Pechorin. But she cannot hate him... However, selfishness takes its toll - all the people around Pechorin turn away from him. In a conversation, he somehow confesses to his friend Werner: “When thinking about imminent and possible death, I think about only myself.” Here it is, his tragedy, the tragedy of his fate, his life.
It must be said that in his diaries Pechorin admits this, analyzing his life, he writes: “... I did not sacrifice anything for those I loved: I loved for myself, for my own pleasure...”. And as a result of his loneliness: “... and there will not be a single creature left on earth who would understand me completely.”
I look sadly at our generation!
His future is either empty or dark,
Meanwhile, under the burden of knowledge and doubt,
It will grow old in inaction.

These are lines from the wonderful poem by Ya. P. Polonsky “On the way from beyond the Caucasus.”
I like summer very much. Usually on summer holidays The whole family is going to the dacha. In the village I am completely free: I can walk as much as I want, go for a swim in the river or play with friends in the forest. My favorite thing to do is go on adventures and explore the surrounding area. One day, in my search, I came across a large lake overgrown with water lilies in the forest. The trees bent low over the water, their roots caught on the shore, and the water in the lake was dark, dark. Even on the hottest day there is a chill blowing from the lake, so on hot days I like to swim in ice water. The lake became my secret. I often go there alone
Ancient futility flows through my veins. An ancient dream: go away with your sweetheart! M. Tsvetaeva great poet Russia, Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva was forced to follow her husband into emigration in the mid-twenties. She did not leave her homeland for ideological reasons, as many did at that time, but went to her beloved, who found himself outside of Russia. Marina Ivanovna knew that it would be hard for her, but she had no choice. So through the rainbow of all the missing planets - who counted them? - I look and see one thing: the end. There is no need to repent. Tsvetaeva was received enthusiastically abroad, but soon the emigrant circles
