Oblomov and Stolz

Stolz - Oblomov's antipode (Principle of antithesis)

All figurative system novel by I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov" is aimed at revealing the nature, essence of the protagonist. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a bored gentleman lying on the couch, dreaming of transformations and a happy life with his family, but doing nothing to make dreams come true. The antipode of Oblomov in the novel is the image of Stolz. Andrei Ivanovich Stolz is one of the main characters, a friend of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, the son of Ivan Bogdanovich Stolz, a Russified German who manages an estate in the village of Verkhlev, five miles from Oblomovka. In the first two chapters of the second part goes detailed story about the life of Stolz, about the conditions in which his active character was formed.

1. Common features:

a) age (“Stolz is the same age as Oblomov and he is already over thirty”);

b) religion;

c) studying at the boarding house of Ivan Stolz in Verkhlev;

d) service and quick retirement;

e) love for Olga Ilyinskaya;

e) kindness to each other.

2. Various features:

a ) portrait;

Oblomov . “He was a man of about thirty-two or three years of age, of medium height, of pleasant appearance, with dark gray eyes, but with absence: any definite idea, any concentration in facial features.

«… flabby beyond years: from lack of movement or air. In general, his body, judging by the matte, too white color neck, small plump arms, soft shoulders seemed too effeminate for a man. His movements, when he was even alarmed, were also restrained softness and laziness not devoid of a kind of grace.

Stolz- the same age as Oblomov, he is already over thirty. The portrait of Sh. contrasts with the portrait of Oblomov: “He is all made up of bones, muscles and nerves, like a blooded English horse. He is thin, he has almost no cheeks at all, that is, bone and muscle, but no sign of fat roundness ... "

Getting to know portrait characteristic of this hero, we understand that Stolz is a strong, energetic, purposeful person who is alien to daydreaming. But this almost ideal personality resembles a mechanism, not a living person, and this repels the reader.

b) parents, family;

Oblomov's parents are Russian, he grew up in a patriarchal family.

Stolz - a native of the bourgeois class (his father left Germany, wandered around Switzerland and settled in Russia, becoming the manager of the estate). “Stolz was only half German, according to his father; his mother was Russian; he professed the Orthodox faith, his native speech was Russian ... ". The mother was afraid that Stolz, under the influence of his father, would become a rude burgher, but the Russian environment of Stolz interfered.

c) education;

Oblomov passed "from embraces to embraces of relatives and friends", his upbringing was of a patriarchal nature.

Ivan Bogdanovich raised his son strictly: “From the age of eight, he sat with his father at a geographical map, sorted out the warehouses of Herder, Wieland, biblical verses and summed up the illiterate accounts of peasants, burghers and factory workers, and read sacred history with his mother, taught Krylov’s fables and disassembled the warehouses of Telemachus.”

When Stolz grew up, his father began to take him to the field, to the market, forced him to work. Then Stoltz began to send his son to the city with instructions, "and it never happened that he forgot something, changed it, overlooked it, made a mistake."

Upbringing, like education, was ambivalent: dreaming that a “good bursh” would grow out of his son, the father in every possible way encouraged boyish fights, without which his son could not do a day. If Andrei appeared without a lesson prepared “by heart”, Ivan Bogdanovich sent his son back to where he came from, and every time young Stlz returned with lessons learned.

From his father, he received a “labor, practical education”, and his mother introduced him to the beautiful, tried to put love for art, for beauty into the soul of little Andrei. His mother "in her son ... dreamed of the ideal of a gentleman," and his father taught him to work hard, not at all lordly work.

d) attitude towards studying in a boarding house;

Oblomov studied "out of necessity", "serious reading tired him", "but the poets touched ... to the quick"

Stolz always studied well, was interested in everything. And he was a tutor at his father's boarding school

e) further education;

Oblomov lived in Oblomovka until the age of twenty, then graduated from the university.

Stolz Brilliantly graduated from the university. Parting with his father, sending him from Verkhlev to St. Petersburg, Stolz. says that he will certainly fulfill his father's advice and go to an old friend of Ivan Bogdanovich Reingold - but only when he, Stolz, has a four-story house, like Reinhold. Such autonomy and independence, as well as self-confidence. - the basis of the character and worldview of the younger Stolz, which his father so ardently supports and which Oblomov lacks so much.

f) lifestyle;

“Lying at Ilya Ilyich’s was his normal state”

Stolz has a thirst for action

g) housekeeping;

Oblomov did not do business in the village, received an insignificant income and lived in debt.

Stolz serves with success, retires to pursue his own business; makes a house and money. He is a member of a trading company that sends goods abroad; as an agent of the company, Sh. travels to Belgium, England, throughout Russia.

h) life aspirations;

Oblomov in his youth "prepared for the field", thought about the role in society, about family happiness, then he excluded from his dreams social activities, his ideal was a carefree life in unity with nature, family, friends.

Stoltz, chose an active principle in his youth ... Stoltz's ideal of life is unceasing and meaningful work, it is "the image, content, element and purpose of life."

i) views on society;

Oblomov believes that all members of the world and society are “dead, sleeping people”, they are characterized by insincerity, envy, a desire to “get a high-profile rank” by any means, he is not a supporter of progressive forms of housekeeping.

According to Stolz, with the help of the construction of “schools”, “marinas”, “fairs”, “highways”, the old, patriarchal “fragments” should turn into well-maintained estates that generate income.

j) attitude towards Olga;

Oblomov wanted to see loving woman capable of creating a serene family life.

Stolz marries Olga Ilyinskaya, and Goncharov tries in their active alliance, full of work and beauty, to imagine an ideal family, a true ideal that fails in Oblomov's life: “worked together, had lunch, went to the fields, played music< …>as Oblomov also dreamed ... Only there was no drowsiness, despondency with them, they spent their days without boredom and without apathy; there was no languid look, no word; the conversation did not end with them, it was often hot.

k) relationship and mutual influence;

Oblomov considered Stolz his only friend, able to understand and help, he listened to his advice, but Stoltz failed to break Oblomovism.

Stolz highly valued the kindness and sincerity of the soul of his friend Oblomov. Stolz is doing everything to awaken Oblomov to activity. In friendship with Oblomov Stolz. also turned out to be on top: he replaced the rogue manager, destroyed the intrigues of Tarantiev and Mukhoyarov, who tricked Oblomov into signing a fake loan letter.

Oblomov is used to living at the behest of Stolz in the smallest matters, he needs the advice of a friend. Without Stolz, Ilya Ilyich cannot decide on anything, however, and Oblomov is in no hurry to follow the advice of Stolz: their concept of life, work, and application of forces is too different.

After the death of Ilya Ilyich, a friend takes on the upbringing of Oblomov's son, Andryusha, named after him.

m) self-esteem ;

Oblomov constantly doubted himself. Stolz never doubts himself.

m) character traits ;

Oblomov is inactive, dreamy, sloppy, indecisive, soft, lazy, apathetic, not devoid of subtle emotional experiences.

Stolz - active, sharp, practical, neat, loves comfort, open to mental manifestations reason prevails over feeling. Stolz could control his feelings and was "afraid of every dream". Happiness for him was constancy. According to Goncharov, he "knew the value of rare and expensive properties and spent them so sparingly that he was called an egoist, insensitive ...".

The meaning of the images of Oblomov and Stolz.

Goncharov reflected in Oblomov the typical features of the patriarchal nobility. Oblomov absorbed the contradictory features of the Russian national character.

Stolz in Goncharov's novel was assigned the role of a person who could break Oblomovism and revive the hero. According to critics, the vagueness of Goncharov's idea of ​​the role of "new people" in society led to the unconvincing image of Stolz. As conceived by Goncharov, Stolz is a new type of Russian progressive figure. However, he does not portray the hero in a specific activity. The author only informs the reader about what Stoltz was, what he achieved. Showing the Parisian life of Stolz with Olga, Goncharov wants to reveal the breadth of his views, but in fact reduces the hero

So, the image of Stolz in the novel not only clarifies the image of Oblomov, but is also interesting to readers for its originality and the complete opposite of the main character. Dobrolyubov says about him: “He is not the person who will be able to tell us this almighty word “forward!” in a language understandable to the Russian soul. Dobrolyubov, like everyone else revolutionary democrats, saw the ideal of a "man of action" in serving the people, in the revolutionary struggle. Stoltz is far from this ideal. However, next to Oblomov and Oblomovism, Stolz was still a progressive phenomenon.

I.A. Goncharov in his novel touches upon very hot topic the opposition of labor and laziness, which for centuries has remained the most discussed and debatable. In our time, this topic is very problematic, since in our modern society there is a progress in technology and people stop working, laziness develops into the meaning of life.

The heroes of the novel Oblomov and Stolz are friends with early childhood. Their acquaintance takes place while studying at the house of Stolz's father, who taught the basics of the most important sciences.

Ilya Oblomov comes from a noble family, from early childhood little Ilya is groomed and cherished. Parents and nannies forbid him to show any independent activity. Ilyusha, seeing such an attitude towards himself, immediately realized that he could do nothing, since other people would do it all for him. His training took place in the house of Stolz, he did not particularly want to study, and his parents indulged him in this. So passed the whole youth of Oblomov. Adult life was no different from childhood and youth, Oblomov continues to lead a calm and lazy lifestyle. His passivity and idleness are reflected in Everyday life. He woke up for dinner, slowly climbed out of bed, lazily took food and was not interested in any business. Laziness, laid down since childhood, did not give Oblomov the slightest chance of striving for science, for knowledge of the world around him. Despite all this, his imagination was very well developed, because due to idleness, Oblomov's imaginary world was very rich. Oblomov was also a very gullible person, and the main person whom Ilya trusted was Andrei Stoltz. Shtolts is the complete antipode of Oblomov. From early childhood Andrei was accustomed to order, to work. His parents brought him up strictly but fairly. His father, who was German by nationality, instilled in Andrei accuracy, diligence and punctuality. From a young age, Andrei carried out various assignments from his father, tempering his character. He studied with Ilya, with his father, unlike Oblomov, Andrei was good at science, and he studied them with curiosity. The transition from childhood to adulthood in Stolz happened very early, so Andrei was very active person. He strove for constant replenishment of knowledge, because “learning is light, and ignorance is darkness. He had a sober and practical view of events, he never did anything hastily without thinking this issue which he needed to solve. Pledged from childhood, prudence and punctuality found a place for themselves in Stolz's adult life. Mobility and vigor contributed to him in any undertakings. Considering life positions Oblomov and Stolz in relation to Olga Ilyinskaya, the following conclusions can be drawn: Oblomov, living in his own world - "Oblomovshchina", was a romantic who decided for a long time to take concrete steps in real life. Their acquaintance with Olga Ilyinskaya is due to Stolz. Their relationship was not strong from the very beginning. Olga, knowing a lot about Oblomov from Stolz's stories, tries to bring Oblomov back to life by means of her love, but she fails to do this and Oblomovshchina wins. The relationship between Olga and Andrey develops by itself throughout life, "she laughs at his jokes, and he listens to her singing with pleasure." They had a lot in common, but the most important thing was that they strove for life, and this contributed to their rapprochement and the formation of a family.

Be that as it may, the fates of both heroes are relatively successful. Stolz finds his happiness with Olga, and Oblomov finds his Oblomovka in a house on the Vyborg side and lives out his life there with the woman he has always dreamed of. Such a denouement shows that the author's position in relation to both of his characters is positive.

After reading the novel by I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov", I tend to think that the events described in this work can be applied to our time, since in modern society there are many people like Stolz and Oblomov. And their opposition will be eternal.

	Oblomov	Stolz
origin	from a wealthy noble family with patriarchal traditions. his parents, like grandfathers, did nothing: serfs worked for them	from a poor family: his father (a Russified German) was the manager of a rich estate, his mother was an impoverished Russian noblewoman
upbringing	his parents accustomed him to idleness and peace (they did not allow him to pick up a dropped thing, dress, pour water for himself), labor in the block was a punishment, it was believed that it was stigmatized with slavery. there was a cult of food in the family, and after eating, a sound sleep	his father gave him the upbringing that he received from his father: he taught him all the practical sciences, forced him to work early, and sent his son who had graduated from the university away from him. his father taught him that the main thing in life is money, strictness and accuracy
pledged program	Vegetation and sleep-passive onset	energy and vigorous activity - an active beginning
characteristic	kind, lazy most of all worries about their own peace. For him, happiness is complete peace and good food. he spends his life on the couch wearing a comfortable bathrobe. does nothing, is not interested in anything. He loves to withdraw into himself and live in the world of dreams and dreams he created. The amazing childish purity of his soul and introspection, worthy of a philosopher, is the embodiment of gentleness and meekness.	strong and intelligent, he is in constant activity and does not shun the most menial work. thanks to his hard work, willpower, patience and enterprise, he became a rich and famous person. formed a real "iron" character. but somehow he resembles a machine, a robot, so clearly programmed, verified and calculated his whole life before us is a rather dry rationalist
love test	he needs love, not equal in rights, but maternal (such as Agafya Pshenitsyna gave him)	he needs a woman equal in views and strength (Olga Ilyinskaya)

• Despite the significant volume of the work, there are relatively few characters in the novel. This allows Goncharov to give detailed characteristics of each of them, to draw up detailed psychological portraits. were no exception and female images in the novel. In addition to psychologism, the author widely uses the method of oppositions and the system of antipodes. Such couples can be called "Oblomov and Stolz" and "Olga Ilyinskaya and Agafya Matveevna Pshenitsyna." The last two images are complete opposites of each other, […]
• Andrei Stolz is Oblomov's closest friend, they grew up together and carried their friendship through life. It remains a mystery how such dissimilar people with such different outlooks on life could maintain a deep attachment. Initially, the image of Stolz was conceived as the complete antipode of Oblomov. The author wanted to combine German prudence and the breadth of the Russian soul, but this plan was not destined to come true. As the novel developed, Goncharov realized more and more clearly that under the given conditions such a […]
• Wonderful Russian prose writer II half of XIX century Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov in the novel "Oblomov" reflected the difficult time of transition from one era of Russian life to another. Feudal relations, the estate type of economy were replaced by a bourgeois way of life. The centuries-old views of people on life collapsed. The fate of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov can be called an “ordinary story”, typical of landowners who lived serenely at the expense of the labor of serfs. The environment and upbringing made them weak-willed, apathetic people, […]
• The image of Oblomov in Russian literature closes a number of "superfluous" people. An inactive contemplative, incapable of active action, at first glance really seems incapable of a great and bright feeling, but is it really so? In the life of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov there is no place for global and cardinal changes. Olga Ilinskaya, extraordinary and beautiful woman, strong and strong-willed nature, undoubtedly, attracts the attention of men. For Ilya Ilyich, an indecisive and timid person, Olga becomes the object of […]
• The novel by I.A. Goncharov is full of different opposites. The reception of antithesis, on which the novel is built, helps to better understand the character of the characters, the author's intention. Oblomov and Stolz are two completely different personalities, but, as they say, opposites converge. They are connected by childhood and school, which can be found in the chapter “Oblomov's Dream”. It becomes clear from him that everyone loved little Ilya, caressed, did not allow him to do anything himself, although at first he was eager to do everything himself, but then […]
• In the novel "Oblomov" the skill of Goncharov the prose writer manifested itself with full force. Gorky, who called Goncharov "one of the giants of Russian literature", noted his special, plastic language. Goncharov's poetic language, his talent for imaginative reproduction of life, the art of creating typical characters, compositional completeness and the enormous artistic power of the picture of Oblomovism presented in the novel and the image of Ilya Ilyich - all this contributed to the fact that the novel "Oblomov" took its rightful place among the masterpieces […]
• In I. A. Goncharov’s novel Oblomov, one of the main techniques for revealing images is the antithesis technique. With the help of opposition, the image of the Russian master Ilya Ilyich Oblomov and the image of the practical German Andrey Stolz are compared. Thus, Goncharov shows what are the similarities and what are the differences between these heroes of the novel. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov - typical representative Russian nobility of the 19th century. His social status can be briefly described as follows: “Oblomov, a nobleman by birth, a collegiate secretary […]
• There is a type of book where the reader is carried away by the story not from the first pages, but gradually. I think Oblomov is just such a book. Reading the first part of the novel, I was inexpressibly bored and did not even imagine that this laziness of Oblomov would lead him to some kind of sublime feeling. Gradually, boredom began to leave, and the novel captured me, I read it with interest. I have always liked books about love, but Goncharov gave it an interpretation unknown to me. It seemed to me that boredom, monotony, laziness, […]
• Introduction. Some people find Goncharov's novel Oblomov boring. Yes, indeed, the entire first part of Oblomov lies on the couch, receiving guests, but here we get to know the hero. In general, there are few intriguing actions and events in the novel that are so interesting to the reader. But Oblomov is “our people's type”, and it is he who is a bright representative of the Russian people. Therefore, the novel interested me. In the main character, I saw a particle of myself. Do not think that Oblomov is a representative of only Goncharov's time. And now live […]
• Oblomov's personality is far from ordinary, although other characters treat him with slight disrespect. For some reason, they read it almost flawed compared to them. This was precisely the task of Olga Ilyinskaya - to wake up Oblomov, to force him to show himself as an active person. The girl believed that love would move him to great accomplishments. But she was deeply mistaken. It is impossible to awaken in a person what he does not have. Because of this misunderstanding, people's hearts were broken, heroes suffered, and […]
• By the middle of the XIX century. under the influence of the realistic school of Pushkin and Gogol, a new remarkable generation of Russian writers grew up and formed.

Vitalideals of Oblomov and Stolz

All his life, I. A. Goncharov dreamed of people finding harmony between feelings and reason. Hethought about the strength and poverty of "a man oncemind", about the charm and weakness of the "man of the heart".In Oblomov, this idea became one of the leading ones,In this novel, two types of male characters are contrasted: passive and weak Oblomov, withhis heart of gold and pure soul, and energetic Stolz, able to overcome anystanding by the power of your mind and will. However, whatGoncharov's ideal of love is not personifiedvan in none of them. Stolz doesn't seema writer with a more complete personality than ObLomov, at whom he also looks "sobereyes." Impartially exposing "extremes"nature of both, Goncharov advocatedflatness spiritual world man in all his various manifestations.

Each of the main characters in the novel had their ownunderstanding the meaning of life, their life ideasalas that they dreamed of realizing. At the beginningnarration Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is a little over thirty years old, he is a pillar nobleman, possessingbody of three hundred and fifty souls of serfsyang he inherited. Having served after graduating from Moscow University for threeyear in one of the metropolitan departments, heretired with the rank of collegiate secretary.Since then, he lived in St. Petersburg without a break. novelbegins with a description of one of his days, his habits and character. Oblomov's life to thattime turned into a lazy 'cross crawlfrom day to day". Retiring from vigorous activity, he lay on the sofa and irritatedlyquarreled with Zakhar, a serf servant whoRoy took care of him. Revealing socialthe roots of Oblomovism, Goncharov shows that

“it all started with the inability to put on stockings, and it was an inability to live."

Raised in a patriarchal nobilityfamily, Ilya Ilyich perceived life in Oblomovka, his family estate, with its peace and withoutaction as the ideal of a human beingniya. The norm of life was ready and taught oblomovtsam parents, and they took it from their parents. The three main acts of life were constantly played out before the eyes of little Ilyusha in childhood; home, weddings, funerals. Then next gave their divisions: christenings, name days,family holidays. It focuses on thisthe whole pathos of life. This included "shifatal expanse of aristocratic life "with her holidaysness, which has forever become the ideal of life for Ob lomov a.

All Oblomovites treated work as a punishment and did not like it, considering it something humiliating.nym. Therefore, life in the eyes of Ilya Ilyich oncewas divided into two halves. One consisted ofand boredom, and these were synonyms for him.The other is from peace and peaceful fun. V About Lomov ke Ilya Ilyich was also instilled with feelingssuperiority over other people. "Another"cleans his own boots, dresses himself, runs awayfor what you need. This "other" has towork tirelessly. Ilyusha is “brought up tenderlybut, neither cold nor hunger he endured, he did not needI knew I didn’t earn my own bread, it was a dirty businessdid not work." And he considered studying a punishment sent by heaven for sins, and he avoided schoolclasses whenever possible. After graduating from uni university, he was no longer engaged in his education, was not interested in science, art, politics.

When Oblomov was young, he expected a lot fromfate, and from himself. Ready to serve fatherland, play a prominent role in public

life, dreamed of family happiness. But the days went byday by day, and he was still going to start life, everythingpictured my future in my mind. However, "the flower of life blossomed and did not bear fruit."

The future service seemed to him not in the formharsh activities, but in the form of some "familiesnogo occupation. It seemed to him that the officialsemployees together constitute a friendly and closea family, all members of which tirelessly care for mutual pleasure. However, his youthfulrepresentations were deceived. Not youpowers of difficulties, he resigned, servedalive only three years and having done nothing significant body.

Only the youthful glow of Stolz could stillstrike Oblomov, and in his dreams he sometimes burned fromthirst for work and a distant but attractive pricewhether. It happened, lying on the couch, it flared updesire to point out to mankind its vices.He will quickly change two or three poses, with shiningwith his eyes he will rise up on the bed and with inspirationlooks around. It seems that his high mustachewhich is about to turn into a feat and bring good consequences to mankind.
