We will get acquainted with the biography of the writer (tell us about this yourself), creativity, compare it with the work of Bunin and consider the story "Olesya".

2. Assimilation of new knowledge and improvement.

W.: The work of Bunin's peer, Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin (1870 - 1938) (slide 2), was known to the Soviet reader more widely because, unlike Bunin, Kuprin returned from emigration to his homeland a year before his death. These writers have a lot in common. First of all, following the traditions of Russian classical literature, adherence to realism in the depiction of life, attitude to the work of Leo Tolstoy as a model, the lessons of Chekhov's mastery. Kuprin is also interested in the relationship between man and nature, love as an element of living life. Kuprin develops the theme " little man", emphasizing the "need of everyone." But if for Bunin the main thing is a contemplative, analytical beginning, then for Kuprin, brightness, strength, integrity of character are important.

Let's hear about Kuprin's biography and write down the main points from his life (student's message).

Kuprin spent thirteen years of childhood and youth in closed educational institutions: the Alexander Orphan School, the Second Moscow Military Gymnasium, soon transformed into a cadet corps, the Third Alexander Cadet School. After the hard years of barracks life, Kuprin wandered around provincial Russia, was a reporter, a loader in the port of Odessa, and a construction manager, a land surveyor, worked at a foundry, performed on stage, studied dentistry, was a journalist ...

“He was always tormented by a thirst to explore, to understand, to study how people of various professions live and work ... His insatiable, greedy vision brought him festive joy!” - K. I. Chukovsky wrote about Kuprin. The mass of life observations, impressions, experiences became the basis of his work.

“You are a reporter of life ... stick your head everywhere ... get into the very thick of life” - this is how Kuprin defined his vocation. Kuprin is a temperamental, broad nature, a man of elements and intuition. His favorite characters have the same traits. The language of his prose is colorful and juicy(he did not write lyrics).

The first book, published in 1896, was called Kyiv Types. Two years later, the story "Olesya" was published, which posed the problem folk character and which was the embodiment of the writer's dream of a wonderful person, a free, healthy life about merging with nature.

Let's listen to a message about the history of the creation of the story (student's message).

The hero, as a writer, is attracted by everything! “Polesye… backwoods… the bosom of nature… simple customs… primitive nature,” the hero reflects, “a people completely unfamiliar to me, with strange customs, a peculiar language… and, probably, what a lot of poetic legends, traditions and songs!”

2. What breaks the habitual boredom of the city "gentleman"?

- Ivan Timofeevich learns about the existence of a witch. And decides to find this mysterious house.

3. How does Kuprin draw images of the main characters?

Ivan Timofeevich is described by Olesya herself: “although you are a kind person, you are weak… your kindness is not good, not cordial. You are not the master of your word ... You will not love anyone with your heart, because your heart is cold, lazy, and you will bring a lot of grief to those who love you.

And Ivan Timofeevich sees Olesya like this: “My stranger, a tall brunette about 20-25 years old, kept herself light and slender. A spacious white shirt freely and beautifully wrapped around her young, healthy breasts. The original beauty of her face, once seen, could not be forgotten, but it was difficult. Even getting used to it, describe it. His charm lay in those large, brilliant, dark eyes, to which thin eyebrows, broken in the middle, gave an elusive shade of slyness, authoritativeness and naivety; in a swarthy-pink skin tone, in a masterful curve of the lips, of which the lower, somewhat fuller, protruded forward with a determined and capricious look.

4. How simple people refer to Olesya and her grandmother?

They don't bother. But the authorities constantly humiliate and rob.

7. How does Ivan Timofeevich describe the time of love?

- “For almost a whole month, the naive, charming fairy tale of our love continued, and until now, together with the beautiful appearance of Olesya, these blazing evening dawns, these dewy, fragrant lilies of the valley and honey in the morning, full of cheerful freshness and ringing bird noise, live with unfading strength in my soul. , these hot, languid lazy June days ... "

8. And what do the heroes experience during this time of love?

- Olesya is the first to pour out her feelings. But Olesya is afraid that one day she will get tired of her beloved. And Ivan Timofeevich is afraid that Olesya will be torn out of her native environment.

9. How does the story end?

Ivan Timofeevich leaves. Olesya and her grandmother are forced to flee. Olesya went to church before that. But she was driven out. And Olesya threatened fellow villagers. On the same day there was hail. And killed the harvest. Everything was attributed to Olesya.

10. Why is the development of love shown in close connection with pictures of nature?

Homework Article in the textbook (p. 88 - 94). Read the story "Garnet Bracelet"

Having become acquainted with the work of A. I. Kuprin, I noted for myself the main theme of his works - this is the chanting of pure, immaculate, generous love. love different people: Olesya - “a whole, original, free nature, her mind, both clear and shrouded in unshakable mediocre superstition, childishly innocent, but not without crafty coquetry beautiful woman”, and Ivan Timofeevich -“ although a kind man, but only a weak one. They belong to different social strata: Ivan Timofeevich is an educated person, a writer who came

In Polissya “observe morals”, and Olesya is a “witch”, an uneducated girl who grew up in the forest. But despite these differences, they fell in love with each other.

However, their love was different: Ivan Timofeevich was attracted by the beauty, tenderness, femininity, naivety of Olesya, and she, on the contrary, was aware of all his shortcomings and knew that their love was doomed, but, despite this, she loved him with all her ardent soul. After all, for the sake of Ivan Timofeevich, she went to church, although she knew that it would end tragically for her, but I don’t consider the love of the protagonist as pure and generous. He knew that misfortune might happen if Olesya went to church, but did nothing to stop her: “Suddenly, a horror of foreboding seized me. I irresistibly wanted to run after Olesya, catch up with her and beg, beg, even demand, if necessary, that she not go to church.

But I restrained my unexpected impulse…”. Ivan Timofeevich, although he loved Olesya, was at the same time afraid of this love. It was this fear that prevented him from marrying her: “Only one circumstance frightened and stopped me: I did not even dare to imagine what Olesya would be like, dressed in a human dress, talking in the living room with the wives of my colleagues, torn out of this charming frame of the old forest ". The love of Olesya and Ivan Timofeevich is a tragedy, like the fate of Olesya herself, because she differed sharply from the Perebrod peasants, primarily in her pure, open soul, wealth inner world.

Olesya is the complete opposite of Ivan Timofeevich. In her image, Kuprin embodies his ideas about the ideal of a woman. She absorbed the laws by which nature lives, her soul is not corrupted by civilization. The writer creates an exclusively romantic image of the “daughter of the forests”.

Olesya's life passes in isolation from people, and therefore she does not care about what many devote their lives to modern people: fame, wealth, power, rumor. Emotions are the main motives for her actions. Moreover, Olesya is a sorceress, she knows the secrets of the human subconscious. It was this that gave rise to the hatred for her callous, limited people. And, as you know, people always strive to destroy someone they do not understand, someone who is different from them.

Therefore, the heroine is forced to part with her beloved and flee from her native forest. Olesya's love becomes the greatest gift that can give life to the hero of the story. In this love there is both selflessness and courage, on the one hand, and contradiction, on the other.

The writer sees the true meaning of love in the desire to disinterestedly give to his chosen one all the fullness of feelings that he is capable of. loving person. A person is imperfect, but the power of love can, at least for a short time, restore to him the sharpness of sensations and naturalness, which only people like Olesya have preserved in themselves.

The heroic epic, myths and epics are often oriented to reflect the events of the historical life of a certain people. The heroic epos is characteristic, as well as for the times of Kievan Rus, as well as for the 17-18 centuries, because in the works heroic epic embodied the moral ideals of different peoples.

Heroic epic as an expression of people's consciousness

Heroic songs, myths and epics act as an expression of the historical consciousness of the people. First of all, works of this genre embody the ideals of social justice and glorify true heroes, defenders of the people and their native land.

But the heroic epic combines both historical reality in images and fiction. Often such works have a solemn and pathetic tone, and this is justified by the fact that they glorify the great pages of history and great people - honest, brave and free.

Thus, it is the heroic epic that reveals social moral and aesthetic ideals. The very emergence of such a genre is due to the fact that the people needed a certain creative form in order to express their impressions of what was happening and create ideals that were close to them.

Therefore, the famous epic works, myths and epics are a reflection of that faith and ideals that were closer to the people of a certain country and a certain historical period. In the works of the epic, the main characters are heroes who embody the ideal of masculinity, they are an example of a defender of the people and a defender of their freedom.

If we talk about the ancient epic, then in it the main characters were endowed with some kind of superpowers, which suggests that the peoples of those times mystified their folk heroes. The Russian heroic epic includes such bold and courageous characters as Ilya Muromets and Dobrynya Nikitich.

They defend their land, and go alone against a whole army of opponents. Therefore, we can talk about such characters as the personification of the people's strength, which is able to resist any enemy.

Embodiment of moral ideals

The main characters of the epic and myths are the fruits of artistic generalization, since one person embodies the strength of the people and their faith in victory. Basically, the motives and images of the works of the heroic epic are the same, only different historical events different peoples.

Also, the heroic epic shows that the people believed in the truth of miracles, as they created heroes with inhuman capabilities. But the most important thing worth noting in the epics is the popular idea of justice, duty and honor. Thanks to many works of the heroic epic, we see not only the people's understanding of history, but also understand what the moral ideals of a particular time were.

The heroes of the epic are noble and honest people and this is their power for the people. They give up wealth for the sake of their freedom and their native land, they are not afraid of enemies and are always ready to protect those who are weak.

In the epic, the motive of supreme justice always occupies a separate place, and the position of the people can be traced in this. Good always triumphs, no matter how powerful and influential evil was, justice is always restored.

Equipment: portrait of A.I. Kuprin.

Methodical methods: teacher's story, student's report, analytical conversation.

During the classes.

1. The word of the teacher.

The work of I.A. Bunin, Alexander Ivanovich Kuprin (1870-1938), was known to the Soviet reader more widely because, unlike Bunin, Kuprin returned from emigration to his homeland a year before his death, in 1937. Therefore, the works of Kuprin were published in the Soviet Union, and the emigrant Bunin was not published until the end of the 50s of the 20th century.

These writers have a lot in common. First of all, following the traditions of Russian classical literature, adherence to realism in the depiction of life, attitude to the work of Leo Tolstoy as a model, the lessons of Chekhov's mastery. Kuprin is also interested in the relationship between man and nature, love as an element of living life. Kuprin develops the theme of the "little man", emphasizing the "extraordinary nature of each". But if for Bunin the main thing is a contemplative, analytical beginning, then for Kuprin brightness, strength, integrity of character are important.

2. Message from a student about the biography of A.I. Kuprin.

3. The word of the teacher.

Kuprin spent 13 years of childhood and youth in closed educational institutions:

Alexander Orphan School, Second Moscow Military Gymnasium, soon transformed into a cadet corps, Third Alexander Cadet School. After the hard years of barracks life, Kuprin wandered around provincial Russia, was both a reporter and a loader in the port of Odessa, and a construction manager, a land surveyor, worked at a foundry, performed on stage, studied dentistry, was a journalist.

“He was always tormented by a thirst to explore, understand, study how people of various professions live and work ... His insatiable, greedy vision gave him festive joy!” K.I. Chukovsky wrote about Kuprin. The mass of life observations, impressions, experiences became the basis of his work. “You are a reporter of life ... stick your head everywhere ... get into the very thick of life,” Kuprin defined his vocation. Kuprin is a temperamental, broad nature, a man of elements and intuition. His favorite characters have the same traits. The language of his prose is colorful and juicy (he did not write lyrics).

The first book, published in 1896, was called Kyiv Types. Two years later, the story "Olesya" was published, which posed the problem of a national character and was the embodiment of the writer's dream of a wonderful person, of a free, healthy life, of merging with nature.

4. Conversation on the story "Olesya".

- What is the significance of the setting of the story?

(The action takes place in the bosom of nature, in the wilderness of Polissya, where fate threw the hero, a city man, “for six whole months.” The hero expects new experiences, acquaintances “with strange customs, a peculiar language”, with poetic legends, traditions. And his expectations are justified.The place of action is also important when explaining the author's idea).

- What role does landscape play in the story? Give examples.

(The winter forest landscape contributes to a special state of mind, solemn silence emphasizes detachment from the civilized world, the howling of the wind intensifies melancholy and boredom. Nature is not just the background of the story. Gradually it becomes a participant in events. First, the forces of nature are personified: “The wind outside the walls of the house raged like an old , a chilled naked devil. In his roar, groans, squeals and wild laughter were heard ... Outside, someone furiously threw handfuls of fine dry snow at the windows. The nearby forest murmured and hummed with a continuous, hidden, dull menace. Gradually, the sounds of the wind almost materialize, and the hero imagines some "terrible guest" breaking into his old house.

Descriptions of the landscape are often imbued with a lyrical warm mood: “The snow turned pink in the sun and turned blue in the shade. I was seized by the quiet charm of this solemn, cold silence, and it seemed to me that I felt how time slowly and silently passes me by. Finally, nature, its strength, mystery, charm are embodied in the "sorceress" Olesya. The acquaintance of the heroes takes place in the spring: nature awakens, feelings awaken. In the last chapter - a sudden whirlwind, an unbearably stuffy day, a thunderstorm, hail - nature portends a break, separation, the collapse of love. stands out symbolic image mulberry tree, which "stood completely naked, all the leaves were knocked off it by terrible blows of hail." The hero's dreary anxiety is justified - the "unexpected grief" that he foresaw happened: Olesya is lost to him forever.

Nature either echoes the feelings of the characters, promotes the awakening and development of their souls, or serves as a means of creating an image (Olesya), emphasizing the natural, natural charm of a person, or is the antithesis of the “civilized”, selfish world).

- How Kuprin draws an image main character?

(The appearance of Olesya is foreshadowed by nature itself, Yarmola mentions the "witcher", the hero hears Olesya's "fresh, sonorous and strong" voice, and finally she herself appears - "a tall brunette about twenty to twenty-five years old" with a face that "could not be forgotten ,.. but it was difficult to describe it": "cunning, imperiousness and naivety" in the look of "large, shiny, dark eyes." Her face easily changes expression from severity to childish shyness. (Ch. 3) Olesya is compared with young Christmas trees, who grew up in the free space of an old forest (ch. 4), the Hero is also attracted by “the halo of mystery surrounding her, the superstitious reputation of a witch, life in the thicket of the forest among the swamp, and in particular, this proud self-confidence.” By nature, Olesya does not know calculation and cunning, selfishness... Everything that poisons the relationship of people in the civilized world, to which Ivan Timofeevich belongs, is alien to her.)

- What is the peculiarity of the image of the hero-narrator?

(Olesya herself describes the hero: “although you are a kind person, but only weak ... Your kindness is not good, not cordial. You are not a master of your word ... You will not love anyone with your heart, because your heart is cold, lazy, but those who you will be loved, you will bring a lot of grief.)

How is the plot of the story structured?

(Pictures of life and pictures of nature are connected in a single stream: for example, after the hero’s meeting with Olesya, a picture of a stormy spring, a declaration of love is accompanied by a description of the moonlit night. The plot is built on the opposition of the world of Olesya and the world of Ivan Timofeevich. He perceives relations with Olesya as “naive, a charming tale of love, "she knows in advance that this love will bring grief, but that it is inevitable,

that you can't run away from fate. His love gradually decreases, he is almost afraid of her, tries to delay the explanation, propose to Olesya and tell about his departure (ch. 11) He thinks first of all about himself: “Good and learned people marry seamstresses, maids ... and live beautifully ... I won’t be more unhappy than others, really? And Olesya's love gradually gains strength, opens up, becomes selfless. The pagan Olesya comes to the church and barely escapes from the brutal crowd, ready to tear the "witch" apart. Olesya turns out to be much taller and stronger than the hero, these forces are in her naturalness.)

-What color accompanies the image of Olesya?

(This is red, the color of love and the color of anxiety "Olesya's red skirt stood out as a bright spot on the dazzling white, even background of snow (first meeting); red cashmere scarf (first date, in the same scene Olesya speaks blood), a string of cheap red beads, “corals” is the only thing that remains “in memory of Oles6 and her tender, generous love” (last episode).

- Why was the happiness of the heroes so short?

(Olesya, possessing the gift of foresight, feels, realizes the inevitability of the tragic end of a short happiness. It is impossible to continue this happiness in a stuffy, cramped city. They are too different people. All the more valuable is her self-denial, an attempt to reconcile her independent way of life with what is deeply alien to her. The theme of "magic" love is replaced by another, constantly sounding in creativity Kuprin, - the theme the impossibility of happiness.)

-What do you think is the idea of the story?

(Kuprin shows that only in unity with nature, in preserving naturalness, a person is able to achieve spiritual purity and nobility.)
