What was the intention of Fathers and Sons? How did it reflect the socio-political struggle of the 60s of the XIX century? Did the intentions of the writer and the objective meaning of his work coincide in this case?
“My whole story is directed against the nobility as an advanced class,” I. S. Turgenev argued. In Bazarov, he was drawn to an outstanding, titanic figure, grown out of the people's soil, but lonely and therefore doomed to death. The author conceived the main conflict of the novel as a conflict of ideologies: the moderate-liberal position of the "fathers" and the extreme left views of the nihilists (read, revolutionaries, the author notes). The writer wanted to show the triumph of democracy over the aristocracy, but he was sure of the defeat of the revolutionaries. Therefore, he categorically objected to the revolutionary conclusions made by Dobrolyubov after reading Fathers and Sons, and because of this he broke with his dear Sovremennik. The writer, who served “the revolution as the heartfelt meaning of his works” (from the proclamation of the Narodnaya Volya), turned out to be wrong: the objective meaning of his novel outgrew the plan, turned out to be wider and more convincing than Turgenev had supposed.
What is the main conflict in Fathers and Sons? Is the struggle of two generations or two ideologies shown in the novel?
Which of the characters in the novel immediately attracts attention, evokes sympathy? Who can be called a hero of his time? Why do you think so?
What does the generation of “fathers” look like in Turgenev’s image (the Kirsanov brothers, Vasily Ivanovich Bazarov)? What do you think of their attitude towards young generation? Does the author sympathize with them or despises them?
What is the essence of ideological disputes between "fathers" and "children"? Whose side is Turgenev on?
Why do you think it was Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov who became Bazarov's main opponent? What does the duel scene give to characterize each of them?
What are the views of Bazarov? What attracts (or repels) you? Why does Turgenev show him lonely not only in the camp of "fathers", but also among "children"?
Prove that Bazarov is a fighter and a thinker. What is the essence Bazar's nihilism? Does he have the moral right to call himself self-broken?
Bazarov has the character of a fighter. He never retreats in disputes with ideological opponents, does not change his convictions, most often developed by experience. His aphorisms, often controversial, are the result of great mental work. Bazarov's nihilism is not denial for the sake of denial, but firm conviction in the fact that “science “in general” does not exist at all”, that everything must be looked at critically, check the results of their research in the laboratory, etc. Bazarov is sure that “every person must educate himself”, and cites himself as an example . He has the right to call himself "self-broken", because he never gives in to his weaknesses, fearlessly defends what he considers true.
How does Bazarov feel about his parents? Why can't there be spiritual intimacy between them?
It is known that the test of love is a difficult test for Turgenev's heroes. How does Bazarov reveal himself in love? How does Turgenev show the sincerity and strength of his hero's feelings? Is Anna Sergeevna Odintsova worthy of his love?
"To die the way Bazarov died is the same as doing a great feat." Do you agree with this opinion of D. I. Pisarev? Why do you think the novel ends with the picture of Bazarov's death? How does D. I. Pisarev answer this question? Why did Turgenev call Bazarov a "tragic face"?
What is the role of landscape in Fathers and Sons?
Why does Arkady belong to the camp of "fathers"?
Arkady in the epilogue "became a zealous owner", his "farm brings a significant income." This means that the influence
How are the ideological views of the characters revealed in the novel “Fathers and Sons” by I.S. Turgenev?
Bazarov quickly disappeared - after all, Arkady, despite the search for a social ideal outside the noble ideology, remained a "liberal gentleman." He is the guardian of the traditions of the "fathers" not only in relation to culture. The ideological views of the heroes of I.S. Turgenev are most fully revealed in disputes between the Kirsanovs and Bazarov.
Describe the portrait of Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov.
Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov is an aristocrat, which is emphasized by his beautiful white hands “with long pink nails”, “English suite, fashionable low ties”, “amazing collars”. He speaks with accentuated refined courtesy, tilting his head slightly.
What principles of Bazarov do not withstand a dispute with life?
Bazarov's nihilistic attitude towards love is broken by his own feeling for Odintsova. For the first time, he realizes that he is powerless to give up love for the sake of reason, that he becomes dependent on a woman whose words, look, manners cause a storm of irresistible passions in him. After losing a love match, Bazarov loses optimism, comes to gloomy arguments about the insignificance of man in the face of eternity.
How do you understand the meaning of the word "nihilist"?
The concept of "nihilism" I.S. Turgenev introduced into the Russian language as a designation of the system of views of the "new people" who entered the Russian public life since the late 1950s. Nihilism is a simplified, grossly materialistic understanding of life, in which rational, experiential knowledge comes to the fore through natural Sciences, religion, art, beauty, morality are denied as useless in society. “We act by virtue of what we recognize as useful. At the present time, denial is most useful - we deny.
What is the weakness of Bazarov's position?
The weakness of Bazarov's position is in the total denial of everything that goes beyond empirical knowledge: art, the beauty of nature, love, religion. Life itself breaks his rejection of love. His materialism is superficial and crude, identifying physiology and morality (“each of us has a brain, spleen, heart, and lungs are arranged in the same way,” which means that everyone has the same “moral qualities”). Bazarov has no devoted supporters, he is lonely, therefore, doomed.
Why does I. S. Turgenev end Bazarov's line with the death of a hero?
I. S. Turgenev believed that the “Russian Insarovs” had come, but their time had not come. Bazarov is a premature person who does not have a close social perspective, which is why he had to die.
What is the meaning of the title of the novel "Fathers and Sons" by I.S. Turgenev?
The name has double meaning: confrontation between two social forces - liberal nobles ("fathers") and democrats-raznochintsy ("children"); eternal contradiction of generations.
What details of the portrait emphasize Bazarov's democracy?
I.S. Turgenev in appearance emphasized the democracy of Bazarov. His face is "long and thin, with a wide forehead, flat top, pointed nose, large greenish eyes and drooping sideburns. sand color animated by a calm smile and expressed self-confidence and intelligence. He dresses simply and emphatically casually - in a "long hoodie with tassels", and his hands are "red and naked", never wearing gloves.

Therefore, he categorically objected to the revolutionary conclusions made by Dobrolyubov after reading Fathers and Sons, and because of this he broke with his dear Sovremennik. The writer, who served “the revolution as the heartfelt meaning of his works” (from the proclamation of the Narodnaya Volya), turned out to be wrong: the objective meaning of his novel outgrew the plan, turned out to be wider and more convincing than Turgenev had supposed.
Bazarov has the character of a fighter. He never retreats in disputes with ideological opponents, does not change his convictions, most often developed by experience. His aphorisms, often controversial, are the result of a great deal of mental work. Bazarov’s nihilism is not a denial for the sake of denial, but a firm conviction that “science “in general” does not exist at all”, that everything must be looked at critically, the results of one’s research in the laboratory must be checked, etc. Bazarov is sure that “everyone a person must educate himself, ”and cites himself as an example. He has the right to call himself "self-broken", because he never gives in to his weaknesses, fearlessly defends what he considers true.
Arkady in the epilogue "became a zealous owner", his "farm brings a significant income." This means that the influence
Bazarov quickly disappeared - after all, Arkady, despite the search for a social ideal outside the noble ideology, remained a "liberal gentleman." He is the guardian of the traditions of the "fathers" not only in relation to culture. The ideological views of the heroes of I.S. Turgenev are most fully revealed in disputes between the Kirsanovs and Bazarov.
Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov is an aristocrat, which is emphasized by his beautiful white hands “with long pink nails”, “English suite, fashionable low ties”, “amazing collars”. He speaks with accentuated refined courtesy, tilting his head slightly.
Bazarov's nihilistic attitude towards love is broken by his own feeling for Odintsova. For the first time he realizes that he is powerless to give up love for the sake of reason, that he becomes dependent on a woman whose words, look, manners cause a storm of irresistible passions in him. After losing a love duel, Bazarov loses optimism, comes to gloomy arguments about the insignificance of man in the face of eternity.
The concept of "nihilism" I.S. Turgenev introduced into the Russian language as a designation of the system of views of the "new people" who entered Russian public life from the end of the 50s of the XIX century. Nihilism is a simplified, grossly materialistic understanding of life, in which rational, experimental knowledge through the natural sciences comes to the fore, religion, art, beauty, morality are denied as useless in society. “We act by virtue of what we recognize as useful. At the present time, denial is most useful - we deny.
I. S. Turgenev believed that the “Russian Insarovs” had come, but their time had not come. Bazarov is a premature person who does not have a close social perspective, which is why he had to die.
The name has a double meaning: the confrontation between two social forces, liberal nobles ("fathers") and democrats-raznochintsy ("children"); eternal contradiction of generations.
I.S. Turgenev emphasized the democratism of Bazarov in outward appearance. His face was “long and thin, with a broad forehead, a flat top, a pointed nose, large greenish eyes and drooping sandy sideburns, animated by a calm smile and expressing self-confidence and intelligence.” He dresses simply and emphatically casually - in a "long robe with tassels", and his hands are "red and naked", never wearing gloves.
