B. Eikhenbaum considered the story "Bela", along with "Taman", an exposition of the image of Pechorin. This story tells about the circumstances of Pechorin’s life, his upbringing and education. Here is the first portrait of the hero.
For the first time we learn about Grigory Alexandrovich from the story of Maxim Maksimych. The staff captain describes Pechorin’s character, his “oddities,” his dissimilarity from those around him. And already here the motive of the hero’s internal contradiction sounds. “He was a nice fellow, I dare to assure you; just a little strange. After all, for example, in the rain, in the cold, hunting all day; everyone will be cold and tired - but nothing to him. And another time he sits in his room, smells the wind, assures him that he has a cold; knock on the shutter, he will tremble and turn pale...”
The story "Bela" is deprived psychological analysis. Maxim Maksimych here simply conveys the facts of Pechorin’s biography, without analyzing and practically not evaluating them in any way. IN in a certain sense The staff captain is objective.
At the same time, sincerely feeling sorry for Bela, whom he fell in love with my own daughter, Maxim Maksimych thinks Pechorin is wrong. Seeing how Grigory Alexandrovich has changed towards her, how Bela suffers from his coldness, the staff captain tries to talk to him. And Pechorin tries to explain his behavior. He says that he stopped loving Bela, that she was unable to cure him of boredom. “Am I a fool or a villain, I don’t know; but it is true that I am also very worthy of pity, perhaps more than she: my soul is spoiled by light, my imagination is restless, my heart is insatiable; “Everything is not enough for me: I get used to sadness just as easily as to pleasure, and my life becomes emptier day by day...” says Pechorin.
Maxim Maksimych does not understand anything from Pechorin’s monologue. He just asks a passing officer what kind of fashion it is to be “bored” and whether all the capital’s youth are like this. For the staff captain, Pechorin is an ordinary metropolitan dandy; for Maxim Maksimych, it is wild and strange to hear complaints about life from a twenty-five-year-old man, whose life is quite prosperous.
The reasons for this misunderstanding are the difference in the worldview of the heroes, their spiritual needs, cultural level, character. As Belinsky notes, Maxim Maksimych’s mental horizons are very limited; “to live” for him means “to serve,” and to serve in the Caucasus. The staff captain's manners are rude and simple-minded, and he is unpretentious in his choice of acquaintances. However, Maxim Maksimych - “ wonderful soul“, a heart of gold,” “by some instinct,” he understands “everything human and takes an ardent part in it.” So, the staff captain immediately fell in love with Bela and became attached to Pechorin. Having learned about a possible meeting with him, Maxim Maksimych rejoices like a child.
Thus, Pechorin’s “oddities” do not prevent Maxim Maksimych from loving him. And this is very important. The staff captain is intuitively humane, humane, a “warm, noble, even tender heart” beats in his chest. It seems that it is no coincidence that Lermontov focuses the attention of readers on the fact that Maxim Maksimych is sincerely attached to Pechorin. After all, in the story with Bela, Grigory Alexandrovich does not look very dignified. However, in spite of everything, the staff captain, this “heart of gold,” still loves him. Thus, the writer seems to be hinting here that there is something genuine, sincere in Pechorin.
After the death of the Circassian woman, the staff captain tries to console Grigory Alexandrovich, but Pechorin remains calm. Maxim Maksimych is annoyed: “If I were him, I would die of grief,” he says. And the staff captain completely incomprehensible Pechorin’s laughter, from which “a chill ran down my skin.”
Of course, Pechorin suffers after losing Bela. He is not used to the open manifestation of his feelings, his laughter in the scene with Maxim Maksimych is nothing more than hysteria. However, the story of this love could not end happily: Pechorin’s feelings are devoid of integrity and unity, the love of a “savage” for him is “a little better than love noble lady."
Belinsky explains Pechorin’s behavior with Bela by the difference in their intelligence and cultural level. “What could he talk to her about? What remained unsolved for him in her? Love requires reasonable maintenance, like oil to support a fire; love is the harmonious fusion of two related natures into a feeling of the infinite. There was strength in Bela’s love, but there could not be infinity...,” the critic wrote.
However, it seems that the motives for Pechorin’s behavior are deeper. Rather, he is simply incapable of love. That is why he does not value the feelings of other people - Vera, Princess Mary. In fact, he destroyed Bela for the sake of his own whim, momentary whim, desire to get rid of boredom. Therefore, happiness is impossible for Pechorin.
The story “Bela” contains many elements of a romantic style. The plot of the story is based on a traditional romantic scheme - the hero’s flight from the world of civilization to the world of nature; love relationship with a Circassian woman. All the plot attributes are present romantic stories: kidnapping, love, revenge, death. However, Lermontov maintains realistic motivations. The breakup of the heroes was determined not by external, “fatal circumstances”, but by the peculiarities inner world Pechorin, his character.
Thus, the story “Bela” is the first acquaintance with Pechorin. Here we learn about his upbringing, education, social status, some episodes from life in the Caucasus. It is characteristic that the first narrator in the novel treats Pechorin well, Maxim Maksimych. sincerely attached to his young friend. At the same time, the staff captain does not understand the motives of his behavior or character traits. This misunderstanding to some extent distances him from Grigory Alexandrovich. Sympathy and at the same time a certain alienation - these two moments in Maxim Maksimych’s perception of Pechorin emphasize the impartiality of the first narrator and create a certain objectivity of the narrative. The author in this story invites readers to draw their own conclusions about the hero.
My acquaintance with the hero of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov’s novel “A Hero of Our Time” became quite a bright event for me as a reader. The hero aroused a storm of conflicting emotions in me.
The character of Grigory Alexandrovich gives food for thought literally from the first lines of the work. Pechorin’s actions seem mysterious and inexplicable to me; throughout the entire novel I want to ask the hero in detail about the reasons that prompted him to these actions - maybe there really is an explanation for them? What's in Gregory's soul? In my opinion, this is
there is one of the most difficult mysteries of the work.
I was also very interested in the main character’s relationships with the girls: does he love at least one of those that we, the readers, managed to meet? Does Pechorin experience warm, friendly love for Maxim Maksimych, Werner? Is he even capable of sincere feelings, emotions? It seems to me that these questions interested not only me, but also any attentive reader. Probably, each of us will have a different opinion about Pechorin’s actions, each of us will answer the above questions differently, but still we cannot find a true answer to them - this is what Mikhail Yuryevich intended.
My acquaintance with Pechorin left a lot of reasons for reflection, a lot of impressions - both negative and positive.

Audio story "Bela" by Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, part 1, in which the author introduces the main characters of the story: Maxim Maksimych, Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin, Azamat, Bela.
“I rode on a crossroads from Tiflis... I entered the Koishaur valley... I had to hire bulls to pull my cart up this damned mountain, because it was already autumn and ice... I hired six bulls and several Ossetians. .. Behind my cart, four bulls were dragging another as if nothing had happened, despite the fact that it was loaded to the brim... Its owner walked behind her, smoking from a small Kabardian pipe trimmed in silver. He was wearing an officer’s frock coat without epaulettes. and a Circassian shaggy hat. He seemed to be about fifty; his dark complexion showed that he had long been familiar with the Transcaucasian sun, and his prematurely gray mustache did not match his firm gait and cheerful appearance...” This is how Maxim Maksimych first appeared to the narrator.
Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is an officer, a young man of about 25. “...He was so thin, white, his uniform was so brand new. He was a nice guy,... just a little strange. After all, for example, in the rain, in the cold all day long on the hunt, everyone will be cold and tired - but he has nothing to do. And another time he sits in his room, the wind smells, he says he’s caught a cold, he shudders and turns pale; you won't get a word for hours, but sometimes when he starts telling you, you'll burst your stomach with laughter... and he must be a rich man: how many different expensive things he had!.. There are, really, such people who are born It is written that various extraordinary things should happen to them!..
About six versts from the fortress lived a peaceful prince. His little son, a boy of about 15 years old, got into the habit of visiting us... And what a thug he was, agile at anything you want: raising his hat at full gallop, or shooting from a gun. There was one bad thing about him: he was terribly greedy for money... And sometimes we would try to tease him, and his eyes would become bloodshot, now for a dagger..."
Once the old prince Maxim Maksimych and Pechorin invited him to his wedding eldest daughter. Lermontov describes a Circassian wedding. There Pechorin saw Bela, the prince’s youngest daughter and Azamat’s sister. She was about sixteen years old.
MY ATTITUDE TO PECHORIN
I believe that Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin is a very bright image, created by M.Yu. Lermontov. He is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a caring, inquisitive hero who wants to take as much as possible from life. Pechorin is an adventurer, a man who constantly tests his fate. At first it seems that he is fearless - he rushes into various adventures, plays with death. However, Pechorin has a secret, but very strong fear- He is afraid of marriage. Once a fortune teller predicted his death at the hands of his evil wife, and since then Pechorin has been afraid of marriage like fire. However, this did not save him: in the chapter “Maksim Maksimych” we learn that Grigory Alexandrovich died on the way from Persia.
I cannot express my attitude towards Pechorin in just one phrase. This is a hero who cannot be treated unequivocally. Of course this is smart man, who knows his worth, calculates situations in advance. But he is unfamiliar with such feelings as friendship and love. Grigory Alexandrovich perceives the world as a raging ocean of passions. He is loved by a girl, Vera, who does everything to see her lover. And this despite the fact that she is married. Pechorin also seems to love Vera, respects her and feels sorry for her. But at the same time, this does not prevent him from caring for Princess Mary and experiencing tender feelings for her. Pechorin steals the girl he likes, without thinking about the actions that may follow this act. He sincerely believes that he is in love with the “maiden of the mountains”, that this love will become a saving bridge along which the hero can move into a new life for him, full of meaning. But soon Grigory Alexandrovich realizes the futility of hopes: “I was wrong again: the love of a savage is little better than the love of a noble young lady,” he confesses to Maxim Maksimych. It turns out that Pechorin first deceives women, makes them fall in love with him, gains their trust, and then? Then, when the girls begin to hope for a marriage proposal, Grigory Alexandrovich either disappears or makes the woman disappointed in him. In the latter case, this happened to Princess Mary. The first opinion about Pechorin may be wrong: “He’s just an egoist!” Belinsky defended Pechorin from such accusations: “You say that he is an egoist? But doesn’t he despise and hate himself for this? Doesn’t his heart thirst for pure and selfless love?” In fact, the hero of the novel arranges tests for others, he asks himself: “Can we be friends?”
Pechorin is a contradictory, ambiguous person. He combines so many different qualities that it is very difficult for the reader to determine whether Pechorin is a negative character or a positive one. But real person is not exceptionally good.
