What is the relationship between representatives of different generations based on? It is this question that arises when reading the text of V.P. Krapivina.

Revealing the problem of the relationship between generations, relations between adults and children, children's writer introduces us to a boy named Zhurka and his grandfather Yuri Savelyev. Grandfather left Zhurka a message in the book "Three Musketeers", knowing that his grandson liked this novel. In this message, the grandfather shares his childhood memories with his grandson, advises him to do his own thing, without justifying himself with other people's correct words.

After reading this letter, the boy understood that his grandfather yearned for loneliness, and felt his grandfather's love for himself, which he did not know about.

The author's position is as follows: representatives of different generations build their relationships on love, friendship, mutual understanding. Adults, seeking to support the younger generation, give it wise advice. Communicating with children, adults begin to remember their childhood.

I agree with the opinion of the author. Undoubtedly, between the older and younger generations there should be a close spiritual connection that does not break over the years. Mutual understanding contributes to strong friendship and love between parents and children. Often the instructions of adults warn children against mistakes. The older generations, communicating with the younger ones, are immersed in memories of their childhood, which give rise to bright feelings in their souls.

To prove the correctness of our reasoning, we turn to literary arguments. In the novel by L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" complete mutual understanding and continuity of generations are shown on the example of the relationship between father and son Bolkonsky. The old prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky, who fell into disgrace under Emperor Paul the First, lives without a break in his estate in the Bald Mountains, does not sit idle for a minute, his day is subject to a strict routine, which he does not violate even at the time of his son's arrival. Nikolai Andreevich recognizes only two virtues: activity and intelligence, and considers idleness and superstition to be vices. Approving his son's decision to go to war with Napoleon, the old prince gives him parting words to behave with dignity, but he could not have said this. Like his father, Prince Andrei is a man of honor, responsible, active, hardworking, he sees his personal success in the success of a common cause.

We can also find an example of the continuity of generations in the novel by I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". While waiting for his son at the inn, Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov plunges into sweet memories and dreams. Once, after graduating from the university as a candidate, he returned to his parents' house, and now the same thing is happening with his son Arkady. The father dreams of communicating with his son, that he will help him manage the estate. And so it happens. Freed from the influence of the nihilist Bazarov, Arkady becomes a good master, the father of a family. The thread that connects generations is not interrupted, but stretches on.

We came to the conclusion that relations between generations are built on mutual understanding, love and friendship, only in this case the connection between the younger and older generations is not interrupted, and society develops in an evolutionary way, improving.

Arguments

I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons". In this work, we see the real one. Pavel Petrovich and Nikolai Petrovich Kirsanov can be attributed to the generation of "fathers". The generation of "children" is Evgeny Bazarov and Arkady Kirsanov. Young people hold the same views: they say that they are nihilists - people who deny generally accepted values. The older generation does not understand them. The conflict comes to fierce disputes and a duel between Evgeny Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov. Gradually, Arkady Kirsanov realizes that his values ​​​​do not coincide with the teachings of Bazarov, and returns to the family.

N.V. Gogol "Taras Bulba". Ostap and Andriy, the father not only wants to give a decent education, but also to make them real warriors defending their homeland. Taras Bulba cannot forgive Andriy for his betrayal (he goes over to the side of the enemy because of his love for the Pole). Despite the seemingly paternal love, he kills his son. Taras Bulba is proud of Ostap, the eldest son, who fights the enemy selflessly, with all his might.

A.S. Griboyedov "Woe from Wit". The source of happiness for Famusov is money. He loves his daughter Sophia, wishes her all the best, so he accustoms the girl only to thoughts of financial well-being. Sofya Famusova is alien to such views, she diligently hides her feelings from her father, because she knows that she will not be supported. Things are completely different with Molchalin, whom his father taught to seek profit always and everywhere: he follows this principle in everything. Parents, wishing to ensure the happiness of their children, passed on their views on life to them. The problem is that these very views are wrong.

A.S. Pushkin "The Captain's Daughter" Father, sending Pyotr Grinev to the service, said a very important and correct thing: "Take care of your shirt again, and honor from a young age." The father's words became the most important moral guide for the young man. In the most difficult conditions, threatening death, Pyotr Grinev retained his honor. It was really important for him not to betray his father and Motherland. This example is a vivid confirmation of the fact that the instructions of parents help the child to learn the most important moral values.

A.S. Pushkin "The Stationmaster" Dunya committed an immoral act: she ran away from her parents' house with Minsky, who stopped at their station. Her father, Samson Vyrin, could not live without his daughter: he decided to go to St. Petersburg on foot to find Dunya. Once he was lucky to see a girl, but Minsky drove the old man away. After a while, the narrator learned that the caretaker had died, and Dunya, who had betrayed him, came to the grave with three bars and lay there for a long time.

K.G. Paustovsky "Telegram". Katerina Petrovna loved her daughter Nastya very much, who lives in Leningrad with a very bright, eventful life. Only the girl completely forgot about her old mother, she did not even try to find time to visit her. Even Katerina Petrova's letter that she has become very ill, Nastya does not take it seriously and does not consider the possibility of immediately going to her. Only the news that her mother is dying evokes feelings in the girl: Nastya understands that no one loved her as much as Katerina Petrovna. The girl goes to her mother, but no longer finds her alive, so she feels guilty before the person dearest to her.

F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment". Rodion Raskolnikov sincerely loves his mother and sister. Speaking about the motives for the murder of the old pawnbroker, he says that he really wanted to help his mother. The hero tried to get out of eternal poverty, trouble. Pawning the watch, he remembers with trepidation his father, who owned the thing.

L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace". In the work, we see several families whose life is based on completely different moral principles. Prince Vasily Kuragin is an immoral man, ready to go to any meanness for the sake of money. His children are guided by exactly the same principles: Helen marries Pierre Bezukhov in order to receive part of a huge inheritance, Anatole tries to run away with Natasha Rostova. The Rostovs have a completely different atmosphere: they enjoy nature, hunting, and holidays. Both parents and children are kind, sympathetic people, incapable of meanness. Prince Nikolai Bolkonsky brings up his children in severity, but this severity is good for them. Andrei and Marya Bolkonsky are moral people, real patriots, like their father. We see that there is a close relationship between parents and children. The worldview of children depends on the worldview of parents.

A.N. Ostrovsky "Thunderstorm". In the Kabanikh family, relationships are built on fear, cruelty, and hypocrisy. Her daughter Varvara has perfectly learned to lie, which she also wants to teach Katerina. Son Tikhon is forced to obey his mother unquestioningly in everything. All this leads to terrible consequences: Katerina decides to commit suicide, Varvara runs away from home, and Tikhon decides to "revolt" against Kabanikha.

A. Aleksin "The division of property." Verochka was raised by her grandmother Anisya: she literally put the child, who had suffered a severe birth injury, on her feet. The girl calls her grandmother her mother, which causes dissatisfaction with the real mother. The conflict gradually escalates and ends with a court in which property is divided. Most of all, Verochka is struck by the fact that her parents turned out to be such callous, ungrateful people. The girl is going through a difficult situation, she writes a note to her parents, where she defines herself as property that should go to her grandmother.


How should a person treat his parents, in particular, his mother? What qualities do we appreciate in her? The problem of attitude to the mother is raised by A. Aleksin in his text.

Reflecting on this topic, the author expresses his regrets about those words that he did not have time to convey to his mother. The work begins with a list of the smallest possibilities loving parent: the author's mother really wanted to be treated well, respected, so she probably enthusiastically told "close and familiar and even not very close, what kind of son she has."

Moreover, as Aleksin notes, the mother "tried to understand everything, based on the interests of her son," she forgave him every thing that the author forgot to do, with which he was angry, saying: "I understand how busy you are!" or "I understand how tired you are!". Toward the end of his essay, Aleksin notes an important thought, arguing about the duty of a person to pay more attention to what a mother sometimes sacrifices when helping a child: "Doesn't she give something without which a person cannot survive on earth"?

The author's position in this text is expressed clearly. Aleksin believes that each person should treat himself with care. close person in life, and asserts: "in time, during their lifetime, we must tell mothers all the good things that we can say and do for them."

I agree with the author's point of view. Often we really forget about such seemingly petty things, for example, "call at the appointed time", which in fact for a parent can be really important. We should spend more time with loved ones.

For the parents of Yevgeny Vasilyevich Bazarov, the hero of I. S. Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons", there is nothing in the world more precious than their son. It is understandable - this is their only descendant. Vasily Ivanovich and Arina Vlasyevna are kind to Yevgeny, even trying to do the almost impossible - to understand his nihilistic convictions. However, on parental care and young Bazarov responds to affection with relative coldness, asking relatives to restrain feelings. Only towards the end of the work can the reader confidently say that Evgeny Vasilyevich still had warm feelings towards his parents - he simply did not want to show them. This is confirmed by his remark: "People like them cannot be found in your great light during the day with fire."

S. A. Yesenin expresses concern for the parent in the poem "Letter to Mother". The poet is worried that "his old woman" is becoming uncomfortable with the news about his behavior, so he seeks to reassure his mother as gently as possible, calling the visions of the "Finnish knife under the heart" "painful delirium" and renouncing the title of "bitter drunkard" . Nevertheless, the lyrical hero asks not to return to the past ("do not wake up what was noted") and especially "to be so sad" about him - he understands that it will not be easy to come to terms with the current notoriety of the poet's mother, but still tries to calm and assure the mother of her health and order.

Thus, the problem of attitude towards parents was raised by writers and poets not only of the 18th-19th centuries: it undoubtedly remains one of the most important problems to this day.

Thank you for your attention.

The problem of relationships between generations is considered one of the eternal questions of morality. Time speeds up, people can't keep up with it. Social institutions, codes, norms preserve the traditions of the past. The trends of today, not to mention the future, turn into a storm in the musty crypt of the past.

In this article, we will try to highlight not only the relationship between generations, but also the study of this issue in the works of Russian writers.

The essence and origins of the problem

Today, in our rapidly rushing world, in the context of total intergenerational relationships, it becomes noticeably acute. It seems that children move away from their parents not one, but several steps at once.

The peculiarity of the struggle between the new and the old is that the first does not always emerge victorious from it. Adults have more leverage, confidence in their unshakable rightness, the need to be an authority and leader for the child.

In what follows, we will look at this problem from the perspective of the psychologists, as well as how it was seen by writers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The material will be of particular interest to students who are preparing for exams. Often one of the topics is the following: "Problems of relationships between generations." You can easily write an essay on this assignment after reading this article.

Today, the emphasis has shifted from the experience of older generations to the achievements of peers. Practically all knowledge from parents the child receives already in the "outdated" form. Nowadays, the life of an innovation sometimes fluctuates within a few days or hours.

In adolescence, boys and girls are forced to go through a kind of initiation stage. They need to learn to control emotions, become reasonable and wise. It's called "growing up". The difficulty is that with the acceleration of the pace of life, parents themselves often have not yet fully formed into a holistic mature personality. Or their image is suitable only for the heroes of the novel of the nineteenth century.

The problem is that often parents cannot even tell their offspring what to do in this or that situation. After all, they never spent their youth in the conditions of the present. What was previously considered revolutionary, today young people refer to the Stone Age.

Let's look at the issue of disagreements between parents and children. How do psychologists and writers see it?

What psychologists say

If the task concerns the problem of relationships between generations, the essay can begin with the opinion of experts on this topic.

Now we will talk about some of the studies carried out by scientists to study the psychology of the adult generation. They believe that the main problem lies in the inability of the elders to understand their failure in matters of education.

It turns out that self-satisfaction and the belief that past life experience is the standard against which to measure the "correctness" of the child, serves as the foundation for contention. It turns out that adults speak one language, and children speak a completely different one.

Moreover, from the point of view of psychologists, the problem of relationships between generations often comes from the parents. The most common complaint from children: "They don't want to hear me."

Experiments were carried out to confirm this hypothesis. We present a description and results of one of them.

The school asked tenth grade students to rate themselves on a five-point scale. It was necessary to measure internal qualities, such as kindness, sociability, initiative and others. The second task was to determine how these same qualities would be assessed by their parents. The older generation was asked to evaluate their children, and then predict their self-esteem.

As a result, it turned out that children accurately imagine what their parents think of them, and fathers and mothers, in turn, know absolutely nothing about their offspring.
The rest of the studies have proved, in addition to this point, a number of difficulties in the relationship between children and adults. So, it was revealed that the child is more frank with the mother than with the father. The second unpleasant moment is that many things that interest a teenager are not customary to discuss in our society.

Themes of feelings, openness, sexual life put an insurmountable barrier between generations in the family. This turn of events leads to formal communication and routinization of relationships.

Turgenev, "Fathers and Sons"

According to many critics, the problem of intergenerational relationships is most fully covered in the novel "Fathers and Sons". In principle, here it is given the most attention, but you will soon see that there are other works that touch on this issue.

Ivan Sergeevich in his novel shows not just the confrontation between father and son in a single family. The problem of intergenerational relationships is depicted here, since Kirsanov and Bazarov are not relatives.

The first is young, nihilist, democrat and revolutionary. Pavel Petrovich is shown as a monarchist and an aristocrat to the marrow of his bones. The clash of their worldviews is the basis of the plot.

We see that Evgeny Bazarov is inclined to deny everything, putting science above all other values. The image of the landscape of Switzerland, for example, is interesting to him only from a geological point of view. He is pragmatic, trying to prove the advantage of new views. However, at the end, Eugene dies with the thought that Russia did not accept him.

Bazarov's antagonist is Kirsanov. He likes to talk about the "Russian idea", the simplicity of a peasant's life. But in fact, all his words turn out to be an illusion. He is inclined to only talk about it, but by his actions he shows the opposite.

Like many other writers of the nineteenth century, Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is on the side younger generation. He shows through the prism of the novel the agony of the old worldview and the birth in the throes of a new philosophy of society.

Tolstoy, "War and Peace"

Next, we will consider the problem of intergenerational relationships in the novel "War and Peace". Here Tolstoy, being a fine connoisseur of human souls and motives of behavior, shows three different families. They have different social status, values ​​and traditions. On the example of the Bolkonskys, Kuragins and Rostovs, we see almost the entire palette of Russian townspeople of the nineteenth century.

However, the novel shows not only the relationship between different generations, but also the friction of various strata of society. Bolkonsky, for example, brings up children as part of the service to the Fatherland. He puts honor and benefit for other people above all else. Andrey and Maria grow up like that. However, the old prince often went too far in his upbringing, about which he laments on his deathbed.

Kuragins are shown as the complete opposite of Bolkonsky. These are careerists who put above all else social status. Their example illustrates the cold attitude of parents towards children. The lack of sensuality and trust becomes natural for Helen and Anatole.

In fact, Tolstoy shows with the help of empty people who are only interested in material values ​​and outward brilliance.

The Rostovs are the complete opposite. Here the parents fully support Nikolai and Natasha. Children can always turn to them for help when they need it. This clan is completely different from the aristocratic Bolkonskys and from the careerists Kuragins.

Thus, in the first two works mentioned by us, the problem of intergenerational relationships is most fully disclosed. An essay (USE) would be best written based on these novels.

Paustovsky, "Telegram"

When discussing the problem of relationships between generations, arguments "from life" will be the best. The story will touch the most painful strings human soul. It highlights the situation when children forget their parents.

This is the second extreme that a family can fall into. Often the cause is not so much as the harmful moments of social influence.

Sometimes unprepared for the aggression of the real world, teenagers fall into the whirlpool of other people's goals. They live by the ideals of other people and lose themselves. If the parents failed to accustom the child from childhood to the fact that they will be accepted at home in any condition, then the young man will move away.

Thus, we face a multifaceted problem of relationships between generations. Arguments in favor of proper education and others can be given, but it is better to show the terrible consequences of a deepening abyss.

We see such examples in the works of many writers. In Telegram, in particular, my daughter was late. When the girl came to her senses and came to visit her mother in the village, she found only a grave mound and a simple tombstone.

Paustovsky shows that pride, hidden anger and other barriers that prevent warm relations between relatives always lead to the tragedy of the “offended”. That's why the best way solving the problem of relationships between generations will be forgiveness and a sincere desire to understand the interlocutor.

Gogol, "Taras Bulba"

The problem of relations between generations in Russian literature is quite acute in Gogol's work. He addresses the unexpected and terrible side of the realization of this moment.

The story illustrates the murder of the father of his child for the sake of his own sense of honor and pride. Taras Bulba could not forgive and survive Andrei's betrayal of ideals. He takes revenge on him for the fact that the young man did not grow up as he was brought up.

On the other hand, he punishes the Poles for the death of their youngest son, Ostap.

Thus, in this work we see the bitter truth of reality. Fathers rarely seek to understand their children. They just want to realize their concept of "ideal life" in them.

That is why the problem of intergenerational relationships is an eternal problem. You will find the arguments of Russian writers in favor of the impossibility of solving it in our article. Next, we will look at different areas of this issue.

But after reading most of the works and studies, the impression remains that along with age, the ideals of house building wake up in people at the gene level.

Eldest Son - play and film

We are now discussing the problem of intergenerational relationships (the USE often includes it in the list of tasks). Let's look at Vampilov's comedy "The Elder Son". It was written in the late sixties of the twentieth century.

The significance of the work is that several generations are intertwined here. We see relationships between three: fathers, adults, and younger children.

The essence of comedy lies in an innocent joke that has grown into a significant stage in the life of the whole family. Two friends (Busygin and Silva) stay up late in a strange city, they are late for transport. They are looking for lodging for the night.

In the city they meet with the Sarafanov family. Silva tells their new acquaintance that Busygin is his son. The man takes the message at face value because he "had a sin of youth".

The essence of the work lies in the fact that Busygin has to become a link between the father and the children, who do not put their parent in anything.

We see already quite mature "younger" Vasenka, who, out of jealousy, burns down Natalya's house. Nina, the named sister of Busygin, wants to run away with her fiancé to the Far East, but her new brother keeps her.

Obeying the impulse of feelings, the deceiver confesses everything. Everything in the story ends well. But the main focus is still set. The situation is created in a comic form for convenient perception and a comfortable introduction to the comedy "family friend".

It is through the prism of a third-party view of the family that the problem of intergenerational relationships is revealed. Vampilov's writing is fundamentally different from similar works of the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries. It is here that we see the picture that exists in our time.

House building traditions have actually become obsolete, but the gentleness and thoughtless love of many parents plays a cruel joke on them when the children grow up.

Griboyedov and Fonvizin

The problem of relationships between generations in "Woe from Wit" is revealed on the example of Famusov and Chatsky. Let's take a closer look at these symbolic images.

The old generation is characterized by the worship of rank, wealth and position in society. It is afraid, does not understand and hates new trends. Famusov is stuck in the petty-bourgeois worldview of the last century. His only desire is to find a son-in-law for his daughter with ranks and stars on his chest.

Chatsky is the exact opposite of Pavel Afanasyevich. He not only denounces the domostroy foundations of the past in words, but also shows with his whole behavior the depravity of the old and the power of the new worldview.

Molchalin is a peer of Chatsky, but contrasts with him in thoughts, goals and behavior. He is pragmatic, two-faced and hypocritical. Above all for him - a warm and money place. That is why the young man pleases Famusov in everything, is quiet and modest with Sophia.

There is drama in Chatsky's personal life. The beloved girl calls him crazy and pushes him away, preferring "a serviceman with a rank." But, despite this, the result of the comedy is shown to readers openly. It is the "carbonari" and rebels who will replace the traditional ceremonial worship and mossiness of the old nobles.

The Undergrowth also highlights the problem of intergenerational relationships. The essay is an amazing decoding of the proverb: "The apple does not fall far from the apple tree." Here we see a separate aspect of the relationship between parents and children. Education, which is designed not to help the child find himself in life and realize himself, but to reflect the mother's outdated picture of the world.

So, in the comedy "Undergrowth" we see the result that Mrs. Prostakova received. She did her best to protect the child from the "hated" world and corrupted society. Teachers were hired to him only because Peter the Great “bequeathed” so. And the teachers at Mitrofanushka were not distinguished by scholarship.

The comedy is written in the vein of classicism, so all the names in it speak. Teachers Tsifirkin, Kuteikin, Vralman. Son Mitrofan, which in Greek means "like a mother", and Prostakova herself.

We see the disappointing results of blindly following dead dogmas without the slightest attempt to comprehend them.

Starodum, Pravdin and some other characters oppose the old traditions. They reflect the desire of the new society to see a soul in a person, and not an empty gilded shell.

As a result of the conflict, we get a completely merciless, greedy and stupid "undergrowth". "I don't want to study, but I want to get married" - this is the most accurate reflection of its essence.

Coverage of the problem in the works of Pushkin

One of the eternal moral issues It is a problem of intergenerational relations. Arguments from life modern society rarely match perfectly. literary images. The closest situation is mentioned in the Elder Son, which we talked about earlier.

The writings of the classics of the nineteenth century are often useful to young people only in a global sense. The general ethical and moral topics that are touched upon in them will be relevant for more than one century.

The problems of relationships between generations in Pushkin's works are covered many times. Examples include the following: "The Captain's Daughter", "The Stationmaster", "Boris Godunov", "The Miserly Knight" and some others.

Alexander Sergeevich, most likely, did not set himself the goal of reflecting this particular conflict, like Tolstoy and Turgenev. The clash of generations has been part of everyday life since the time of primitive people. It's just that over time, the gap between parents and children is getting bigger. This is influenced by progress, changes in social values, globalization and many other factors.

In particular, in stationmaster"The situation is similar to the one that Paustovsky later highlighted (we talked about this above). Here, Samson's daughter Vyrin escapes from her father's house with a hussar. She falls into urban society, becomes a rich and respectable lady.

When her father finds her, he does not recognize and does not want to accept new image daughters. Samson returns to the station, where he becomes an inveterate drunkard and dies. Here the conflict is formed due to the different meanings that the characters put into the concept of "happiness".

IN " Captain's daughter We see a completely different picture. Here Peter Grinev tightly remembered the traditional teachings of his father. Following these rules helped him save face and honor in difficult situations.

The old baron in The Miserly Knight loses his own son because he is committed to the old philistine ways. He does not want to change the ossified worldview, feudal views. In this essay, we see too big a gulf between father and son. The result is a final rupture of ties.

Ostrovsky, "Thunderstorm"

As you have already seen, if the problem of intergenerational relationships is to be touched upon in the essay, arguments (literary, life and others) will easily help to do this.

At the end of our article, we give one more example, which is the best fit for the task. Now we will talk about Ostrovsky's drama "Thunderstorm".

In this amazing work, the collision of the old Domostroevsky and From all actors decides to resist the ossified tyranny of the elders only main character- Catherine.

There is a saying that Russia is a country of facades. It is in this play that this phrase is deciphered in frightening nakedness. Behind the apparent well-being and piety of an ordinary Volga town, we discover true evil hidden in the hearts of people.

The problem lies not only in the cruelty, stupidity and hypocrisy of the older generation. Kabanikha, Wild tyrannize youth only when society does not see them. By such actions, they are just trying to "set the true path" of their unlucky children. However, the difficulty is that all the knowledge and traditions inherent in house building have long turned from norms of behavior into an unnecessary burden.

reverse side this issue becomes weak-willedness, weakness and bestial humility of the younger ones, as well as the indifference of the rest of the townspeople to what is happening before their eyes.

The problems of relationships between generations in the drama are shown in parallel with the impending storm. Just as nature seeks to free itself from what has been accumulated, sending life-giving rain on petrified soil, so Katerina's suicide makes the indifferent souls of people tremble.

Thus, we have examined the relationship of generations on examples from life, the origins and manifestations of this problem. In addition, we got acquainted with the works of many Russian writers who accurately, sharply and frighteningly truthfully shed light on this issue.

Good luck, dear readers! Try to find the strength in yourself to be better, so as not to become boars, simpletons and other house builders.

Text essay:

We all strive for mutual understanding with our parents. Mutual understanding plays an important role in our life. Boris Ekimov poses the problem of relationships between parents and children. This problem was relevant in the past, is relevant now, and will always be relevant.

The author claims that sometimes it is difficult for older children and elderly parents to understand each other, however, sincere love and care for each other make it possible to overcome this misunderstanding. I share the author’s opinion and believe that the conflict between parents and children is eternal problem, which sooner or later will overtake everyone, whether you are a child or a parent. The main thing is to learn to understand each other, to seek a compromise.

It is worth referring to fiction, and understand that the problem raised by the author is indeed eternal. In I. S. Turgenev, this problem is sharply expressed in the novel "Fathers and Sons". The name itself speaks of the opposition of the older generation to the younger. We also see the conflict of generations in the relationship between Bazarov and his parents. He has very conflicting feelings towards them: on the one hand, he admits that he loves his parents, on the other hand, he despises the “foolish life of fathers”. With all this, their son was really dear to Bazarov's parents. The Bazarovs love Yevgeny very much, and this love softens their relationship with their son, the lack of mutual understanding. It is stronger than other feelings and lives even when main character dies.

In addition, I want to give an example from life. I, like all children, loved to walk with the guys on the street, on warm summer evenings. And I always didn't like the fact that my mother constantly called me home, while the other guys were still on the street. Because of this, I was angry and offended at her, believing that my mother did not want me to go out with other guys, but to sit at home. Mom tried to convey to me that this was done for my own good, but I could not be convinced. But as I grew up, I realized that she did it because she was worried about me, which means that my mother loves me and takes care of me. All parents wish their children well, you need to understand this, not resist it, but, as mentioned above, find a compromise.

It turns out that the author was right when he said that sometimes it is difficult for parents and children to understand each other. But sincere love and care make it possible to overcome this misunderstanding. "Love for parents is the basis of all virtues" - Cicero Mark Tullius.
