Chernyshevsky, N.G. What Is to Be Done?

Vera Pavlovna Rozalskaya is the main heroine of the novel. She is a beautiful girl with Southern features. She grew up in St. Petersburg in a multi-story building on Gorokhovaya Street. From the age of twelve, she attended a boarding school. She has a great talent for sewing; at the age of fourteen, she sews for the whole family, and at sixteen, she starts giving lessons at the boarding school. She has a cheerful, sociable nature. Even in her youth, the heroine demonstrates maturity of character. The son of the landlady, Storeshnikov, is courting her. When advised to marry him, V.P. resolutely refuses: "I want to be independent and live my own way; I am ready to do what I need; I do not want what I do not need, and I will not... I do not want to demand anything from anyone, I want not to restrict anyone's freedom, and I want to be free myself." Unable to bear the difficult home environment any longer, V.P. enters into a fictitious marriage with the tutor of her brother, Lopukhov, who loves her. Discussing with him the plan for their joint life, she asks her future husband to treat her as a stranger, as this prevents rudeness and strengthens family harmony. They live like brother and sister, in separate rooms, meeting in a neutral place for meals or conversations. V.P. begins to pursue her own business: she opens a sewing workshop. The profits in this workshop are distributed equally among the workers. In this way, she saves many young girls from poverty and a dissolute life. The workshop becomes the main business of her life. Over time, V.P. realizes that she truly loves not Lopukhov, but his friend, Kirsanov. Lopukhov frees her from their marital relationship, and she finds true happiness with Kirsanov. Very important in the work are V.P.'s dreams: about the emancipation of women; about the real dirt from which a harvest is born, and the rotten dirt that produces nothing; about her diary, from which she understands that she actually loves not Lopukhov, but Kirsanov; about different eras of human development and about the people of the future.

Bulgakov, M.A. The Master and Margarita

In this character, Bulgakov created a very unique image of Satan. He is not absolute evil. V. came to Moscow to judge. And it is important to note that no innocent person suffered because of him. At the very beginning of the novel, when V. appears on Patriarch's Ponds, he has a cane with a poodle's head on the handle. The black poodle is a sign of Satan. V.'s appearance is very remarkable. He has different eyes: "The right one with a golden spark at the bottom, piercing anyone to the depths of their soul, and the left one - empty and black, like a narrow needle's eye...". V.'s face is slightly tilted to one side, "the right corner of his mouth is pulled down," and his skin is very dark. V. is wise, and his philosophy is extremely interesting. One could say that he does not create evil; he creates justice, but in his own, diabolical ways. But he also performs good deeds. For example, it is V. who helps Margarita reunite with the Master in gratitude for her being the queen at his ball. He also frees these heroes from the burden of life in this reality and rewards them with peace. These people did not deserve the light, so Yeshua cannot take them to himself. And Satan can provide peace. V. says that darkness and light are inseparable. One cannot exist without the other. These concepts are interconnected. Bulgakov conveyed the image of a very wise and charming Devil. He should not be feared by those who have a completely clear conscience.

Dostoevsky, F.M. Crime and Punishment. Sonya Marmeladova

“She was short, about eighteen years old, thin, but quite pretty, with remarkable blue eyes.” The daughter of Marmeladov. To help her starving family, she began to engage in prostitution. We first learn about her from Marmeladov’s story. The first time she returns home with money, Sonya gives it to her stepmother, Katerina Petrovna, and lies face down on the wall, “only her shoulders and body tremble.” Raskolnikov confesses his crime to the girl, shifts part of his suffering onto her, and hates her for it. According to Dostoevsky, Sonya is also a criminal. She transgressed against herself for the sake of others. Her willingness to sacrifice herself turned into a defilement of her own soul. Sonya fell in love with Raskolnikov. She pities him, is ready to share the fate of the young man, and to bear his cross together with him. It is Sonya who reads the Gospel to Raskolnikov, the chapter about the resurrection of Lazarus, which symbolizes the possibility of resurrecting any, even the most dead, soul. And it is Sonya who pushes Raskolnikov to repentance. She follows him when he goes to confess. The girl goes with Raskolnikov to Siberia. There, all the prisoners treat her with great respect and love. The heroine herself, with her love, revives Raskolnikov to a new life. “Sonya, Sonya Marmeladova, eternal Sonya, as long as the world exists!” This heroine is a symbol of self-sacrifice for the sake of one’s neighbor and endless suffering.

Good test. Ar, here's a plus :)

O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.

Lermontov, M.Yu. Demon

DEMON is a hero from M.Yu. Lermontov's "Eastern Tale" entitled "Demon" (1829-1841). The image originates from the biblical myth about being banished from paradise, the content of which is freely and poetically reworked by Lermontov. In the tale, the Demon is a personified human spirit, endowed with divine immortality. In the characterization of the Demon, the initial symbolic meaning is acquired by his position as an "exile from paradise." God's punishment consists of the Demon being doomed to wander and eternal loneliness. The Demon, as a "spirit of negation," a "spirit of doubt," is endowed with exceptional keenness in relation to the imperfections of the world. His position is tragic: by his nature, he cannot accept anything on faith (before experience), and as a result of experience (knowledge), the integrity of the knowable phenomena is destroyed. As a kind of world substance, the Demon acts as a source of evil, but remains in constant interaction with the opposite principle. A transformed angel, he remembers the times of paradisiacal bliss. In essence, the evil represented by the Demon is revenge on the world for its non-identity with the ideal of beauty and perfection. It should be added that Lermontov's Demon does not coincide with Christian-biblical sources and is not equal to Lucifer or Satan. He is an individual myth of a Russian poet.

I didn't expect that. However, my favorite painting is Vrubel's "Demon Sitting," so it's definitely a plus

Pushkin A.S. Eugene Onegin

Eugene Onegin is a young nobleman, the main character of the novel. He received a "French" education at home. His education is quite superficial (a little Latin, anecdotes from world history, an inability to distinguish "iamb from trochee," an interest in the works of the fashionable economist Adam Smith at the time). However, the hero has fully mastered the "science of tender passion." He "hurries to live and is eager to feel." O. entertains himself in every possible way: he attends the theater, balls, friendly dinners, social lunches, etc. But soon the hero becomes disillusioned with everything. He is overcome by "melancholy." The reason for O.'s sadness is his spiritual emptiness. The hero's external brilliance indicates an inner coldness; his sarcasm speaks of arrogance and contempt for the whole world. O. himself is aware of his "spiritual disability." Hoping to dispel his boredom, O. goes to the village to visit his ailing uncle. Here he meets Lensky, who introduces him to the Larin family. Tatyana Larina falls in love with O. and confesses her feelings to him. The meeting with Tatyana touches something in his "cold and lazy soul." But O. rejects the girl, saying that he is not made for love and family life. Some time later, the offended Lensky challenges the hero to a duel, where he dies at his hand. The death of the young L. shocks O. He leaves to travel. At the end of the novel, O. appears again. He arrives in St. Petersburg, where he meets Tatyana, who is now married. Seeing the brilliant princess, O. discovers in his soul the ability to love sincerely ("like a child"). The letter he writes to Tatyana confirms this. Not receiving a response, O., in despair, begins to read indiscriminately and tries to write. But if in the village he read "out of duty" and out of boredom, now it is out of passion. It is out of passion that he commits an "improper" act: he visits Tatyana without warning, in her boudoir. The hero's emptiness began to be filled with a strong feeling, with the life of the heart. Tatyana's rejection dashed all of O.'s hopes, but at the same time, it caused a revolution in all his thoughts and feelings. The ending of the novel remains open: one can only guess about the further fate of O., who was reborn thanks to love.
