In the literature of every nation there are books that, in the words of V. Belinsky, "are destined to never grow old." One of such eternally young works of Russian classical literature is a novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time". Written in the late 30s of the century before last, the novel touched upon the most acute and significant issues public life and reflected the Russian reality of that time.
The action of the novel "A Hero of Our Time" takes place in the Caucasus in the first half of the 19th century. Lermontov knew well the nature of the Caucasus and the warlike life of the mountain peoples. He first came to North Caucasus at the age of five with his grandmother, where she brought him to improve his health. Then Lermontov again ended up in the Caucasus in 1837. He lived in Pyatigorsk, visited Tiflis. A new arrival in the Caucasus was associated with the participation of Lermontov in hostilities in the ranks of the Tenginsky Infantry Regiment. And, finally, the last visit to the Caucasus in 1841, which ended in a duel and the death of the great poet. A good acquaintance with the nature of the country, the customs and traditions of its peoples allowed Lermontov to create a number of works with Caucasian themes: the poem "Ismail-Bey", the poem "Mtsyri", the poem "Demon", the novel "Hero of Our Time". For Lermontov, the Caucasus was "a home of simple liberty", "a harsh land of freedom".
The novel "A Hero of Our Time" realistically depicts the nature of the Caucasus, the life and characters of the highlanders. Majestic mountains, peaks covered with snow, deep gorges, where it is scary to look, fast mountain rivers, realistic details of warlike life, customs of the highlanders, all this appears before us on the pages of the novel. In Lermontov's novel truthfully depicted and cruel morals, which have existed in mountain villages since ancient times, and true descriptions of the harsh lifestyle of the highlanders, their poverty are given: “The saklya was stuck with one side to the rock; three slippery, wet steps led up to her door. I groped in and stumbled upon a cow ... two old women, many children and one lean Georgian, all in rags, were sitting by the fire ... ”Pechorin saw such a picture when he entered the Georgian hut. Highlanders on the pages of the novel appear in the description of Maxim Maksimych and Pechorin. sad tale we hear about Bel from the lips of Maxim Maksimych. He also tells us about Kazbich and Azamat, about the customs and customs of the highlanders. These stories bear, however, the stamp of the well-known limitations of Maksim Maksimych's concepts. For him, "Circassians" (as all the inhabitants of the mountains were then called) were "thugs" and "desperate heads." And yet Maxim Maksimych cannot but approve, for example, of the fact that the highlanders are extremely hospitable. No matter how Maksim Maksimych tries to “humiliate” Kazbich (to “his mug is a robber”, and his Karagoz is “such a robber horse”), but from these stories about Kazbich the image of a strong, courageous horseman arises, for whom “valiant will” - the most precious thing in life. Drawing the character of Kazbich, Lermontov gives his portrait in a realistic way. Power is felt behind the ordinary appearance: “small, dry, broad-shouldered”, “beshmet in patches, and weapons in silver”, an outstanding character is guessed. Indifferent to money, he most of all appreciates freedom, courage, daring, and abusive deeds. Hence his attachment to the horse Karagez, his love for weapons. Kazbich is a man of decisive and lightning-fast actions, unable to forget the harm done to him. He cruelly avenges the stolen horse: he kills Azamat's father and Bela. But Kazbich is not a romantic villain. His actions reflect the way of life of the highlanders, whose custom imperiously demanded revenge for insults and insults. Kazbich is a whole, true to himself nature, there is no gap between his consciousness and actions, he is not a natural person spoiled by the contradictions of civilization, but formed in accordance with the simple and clear suggestions of nature itself. His experiences are full of passionate will, his affections are incorruptible.
Bela's brother Azamat wants to be like Kazbich in everything. But he is too young and unbalanced, quick-tempered and touchy. The desire to take possession of Kazbich's horse completely blinded him. However, it was not easy for him to decide to agree to Pechorin's proposal - to steal his sister in exchange for Karagez. “Pale as death,” he answers Pechorin in a whisper: “I agree.” Azamat is also a "child of nature." He is distinguished by the same integrity of nature, bright activity and the same range of concepts as Kazbich.
An important place in the novel is occupied by Bela - the Circassian princess, the daughter of a peaceful prince and the sister of the young Azamat, who kidnaps her for the Russian officer Pechorin. The image of Bela is captivating, full of wild grace and female charm. It preserved the natural simplicity of feelings, the immediacy of love, a living desire for freedom, inner dignity. Insulted by the abduction, she withdrew, not responding to signs of attention from Pechorin.
When she fell in love with Pechorin, she was ready for anything for her beloved. Bela's love is a deep and devoted feeling. All falsehood, pretense, subtle calculations and intricate tricks are alien to her. love on a short time brings her happiness, but in the end ends with the death of the heroine.
Fate throws Pechorin into this circle of mountain life. In many ways, he is close to these "children of nature" - the stubbornness of the will, the restless activity of nature. For Pechorin, the environment of the Caucasus is an opportunity to show a craving for adventure, to get rid of the emptiness and aimlessness of existence. He is attracted by the life of the highlanders. In hunting, war, love of the "savage" Bela, he longs to find the lost taste for life again. Pechorin invades the life of the highlanders as an active, but destructive beginning. Through his fault, Bela dies, Bela's father dies, Azamat goes missing, Kazbich turns into a militant enemy, participates in all skirmishes with the Russians. IN sad story Bela Lermontov reveals Pechorin's egoism. No matter how much Pechorin was passionate about Bela, and no matter how little he was to blame for the fact that he became bored with her, one thing is clear: he turned a living, feeling person into an instrument of his egoistic goals and passions. Explaining what happened to him to Maxim Maksimych, he says: “... the love of a savage is few better than love noble lady; ignorance and simple-heartedness of one are just as annoying as the coquetry of another ... "
Thus, already in "Bel" Lermontov outlines the "hero of time", establishing that the basis of his character can be "either decisive inaction, or empty activity." The reason for this is the contradiction between consciousness, goals, aspirations and life practice. In Pechorin's diary, we find his sincere confession, in which he reveals his thoughts and feelings, mercilessly scourging his inherent weaknesses and vices. Feeling “immense forces” in his soul, he failed to guess his high purpose and squandered his spiritual strength on empty deeds, which is why he “lost forever the ardor of noble aspirations - best color life."
Lermontov's novel is, as it were, woven from opposites, which merge into a single harmonious whole. It is classically simple, accessible to everyone, even the most inexperienced reader, at the same time it is unusually complex and ambiguous, and at the same time deep and incomprehensibly mysterious. At the same time, the novel has the properties high poetry: its accuracy, capacity, brilliance of descriptions, comparisons, metaphors; phrases brought to the brevity and sharpness of aphorisms - what was previously called the "syllable" of the writer and constitutes the unique features of his personality, his style and taste - brought in "A Hero of Our Time" to the highest degree perfection.
Secondary characters in the novel they have quite independent meaning as full-blooded artistic types, which corresponds realistic principles Images. Nevertheless, in some of them, realism coexists with more or less pronounced elements and traditions of romanticism. Such, in particular, are the images of the highlanders in the story "Bella". They do not look like romantic heroes, but, as Apollon Grigoriev claimed, they have something of the “wildly raging passions of Ammalat-Bek and Mulla-Nur.”
In the initial characterization of Kazbich, which Maxim Maksimych gives him, there is neither elation nor deliberate lowering: “He, you know, was not that peaceful, not that peaceful. There were many suspicions about him, although he was not involved in any pranks. And then there is mention of Kazbich's everyday occupation as the sale of rams, although it is casually noticed that he did not like to bargain, it is said about an unsightly outfit, although attention is drawn to his passion for rich weapons and his horse.
In the future, the image of Kazbich is revealed in sharp plot situations that demonstrate his active, strong-willed, wildly impulsive nature. But Lermontov substantiates these inner qualities in the course of the narrative to a large extent realistically, revealing their connection with the customs and rules prevailing in real life highlanders. As E. Mikhailova noted, in them he "put some kind of reflection of his dream of a strong, free and whole man."
The relationship between Pechorin and Kazbich, included in the "big dialogue" of Lermontov's novel, not only compares the characters, but also opposes them. For the "natural man" and "Asiatic" Kazbich main value- a horse, his favorite Karagoz, in retaliation for the kidnapping of which he kidnaps and then kills Bella. The object of passion, love for Pechorin is a woman, a person. In fact, by the time Bella was kidnapped by Kazbich, Pechorin did not love her: “I will give my life for her, but I’m bored with her ...”, nevertheless, he protected her dignity from the encroachment of a predatory and vindictive person, which was Kazbich.
Beauty, the ability to work well, dance, and sing were considered the virtues of a girl in the Caucasus. The author writes that Bella was beautiful: tall, thin, eyes black, like those of a mountain chamois. But, having fallen in love with Pechorin and surrendering to him, she dishonored her family. Bella, Kazbich, Azamat are not only varieties of a natural person, but also complex, contradictory characters. Drawing their pronounced human qualities, the depth of feelings, the strength of passions, Lermontov also shows their inherent social and specific limitations, due to the inseparability of their lives, their harmony, with the environment that Pechorin so lacks, is based on the strength of customs, traditions, and not on a developed self-consciousness, and this is one of the reasons for the fragility and fragility of this harmony in a collision with "civilization".
Pechorin, as a “civilized” person, of course, differs in the most serious way from the “natural person” living in each of the highlanders with whom he has to communicate. However, the complexity of this character lies precisely in the fact that a concrete-historical and general-historical man, a generic one, intricately coexists in him with a naturally natural man. Therefore, the "savage" Kazbich is to some extent a double of the savage living in the subconscious depths of Pechorin
In "Bella" Pechorin is in the closest contact with such "natural people" - the highlanders.

- Curiosity, fearlessness, an unjustified craving for adventure are the characteristics of the protagonist of the novel. Throughout the book, the author shows it to us from the very different sides. First, this is the view of Maxim Maksimych, and then the notes of Pechorin himself. I cannot call the “fate” of the hero tragic, since neither the death of Bela, nor Grushnitsky, nor the sadness of Maxim Maksimych make his life more tragic. Perhaps even own death not much worse than all of the above. The hero is very detached from people, plays […]

Composition on the topic: Pechorin and the highlanders in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time".
Composition: Pechorin and mountaineers in the novel by M.Yu. Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time".
Lermontov "A Hero of Our Time"The novel "A Hero of Our Time" is the first Russian psychological and realistic novel in prose. In the center of the work is “the history of the human soul”. Lermontov explores the thoughts, impulses, causes and consequences of the actions of such a complex personality as Pechorin. In each chapter, the author shows various aspects of the hero's mental life, considers the manifestation of his instincts, passions, will, spirit, and mind. The rest of the characters set off the character of Pechorin - in contrast and in similarity - and illustrate his thoughts about people.
In "Bel" highlanders are shown - people of passion in pure form. Azamat, Kazbich are effective, strong-willed, decisive, impetuous natures. Pechorin has a lot in common with these characters.
The highlanders of Azamat and Kazbich have a hereditary traditional passion for horses. “The first time I saw your horse ... something incomprehensible became in my soul, and since then everything has disgusted me ... I will die, Kazbich, if you don’t sell it to me! Azamat said in a trembling voice. So enslaved by his desire to have a wonderful horse, a fifteen-year-old boy. An adult highlander experiences the same strong feelings. Here is how he tells about the pursuit of the Cossacks for his Karagoz, while he himself was forced to hide at the bottom of the ravine: “... I heard how they rushed to catch my horse. My heart bled ... " Kazbich perceives the loss of his beloved horse as a tragedy: he "... fell on his side and sobbed like a child ..." Maxim Maksimych, shocked by the strength of the mountaineer's suffering, sympathetically tells how Kazbich "... did not notice anyone ... lay prone, like dead. Believe me, he lay like that until late at night and all night? .. ”Like the“ children of nature ”, Pechorin is also able to get carried away passionately. He really fell in love with Bela, and after her death "was unwell for a long time."
The protagonist and the highlanders are brought together by the fact that in order to satisfy their whims, they go to any lengths, showing not only desperate courage, determination, but also audacity, cruelty, deceit. Both Pechorin and the highlanders are kidnappers. Grigory Aleksandrovich helps Azamat steal a horse, and Azamat assists in kidnapping Bela. Kazbich, killing Bela, takes revenge on both for the horse and the girl.
The same instincts live in Pechorin as among the highlanders. He is not afraid of dangers, risks, stubbornly achieves his goal, cannot deviate from his desires. Pechorin says about Bel: “The devil, not a woman! .. only I give you mine honestly that she will be mine ... "Obstacles only inflame Pechorin. He, like a gambler, makes the last bet in the game with Bela: “I am guilty before you and must punish myself; goodbye ... "Maxim Maksimych, who secretly observed this scene, saw Pechorin trembling, and understood that he would certainly carry out his plan. And when Kazbich, in front of the officers, raced on a horse with the kidnapped Bela in the saddle, "Grigory Alexandrovich squealed no worse than any Chechen."
So, both a horseman and a hunter live in Pechorin. It is no coincidence that the author notes that Pechorin was hardy, like a highlander, and "went one on one against a wild boar." The meaning of comparing the main character with Azamat and Kazbich is that the wild customs of the highlanders can be justified to some extent by the power of customs, tradition, heredity, and temperament.
Pechorin, on the other hand, must be condemned for the fact that he hunts not only a wild boar, but also human hearts. The main character is a man who knows how to play on the feelings of people. He learned to use those around him to satisfy his whims. Pechorin has no moral restrictions.
In the environment ordinary people Pechorin is shown as a destroyer. It is he who pushes Kazbich and Azamat onto the path of crimes. With his game on the shortcomings of people main character increases evil: Azamat runs away from home, fearing the revenge of Kazbich. Bela's father loses his peace after the disappearance of his son and daughter, and then dies at the hands of the same Kazbich. The author presents us with a Chechen as a murderer. However, all his bloody deeds are predetermined by the actions of Pechorin. I think that even in the physical death of Bela, Pechorin is more to blame. It was because of his hasty shot that Maxim Maksimych failed to capture Kazbich, and he hit Bela with a dagger. Pechorin does not kill anyone himself, but what is more terrible is that he is an intellectual killer. The hero rudely invades someone else's life and brings misfortune to people.
It is no coincidence that the chapter of the novel is named after a mountain woman. The image of Bela is one of the most striking and tragic female images novel. This is a deep, whole nature. Bela has something that Pechorin lacks. She found the meaning of life in love, but Pechorin did not understand his destiny. Pechorin's passion is an instinctive attraction, and the impulses of the girl's heart are deeply humane and reasonable. Fidelity in feelings and constancy of Bela favorably distinguish her from Pechorin, who is not capable of selfless love. And it's not even that there is a social and intellectual gulf between the characters. Lermontov shows how morally crippled the "hero of our time", because he himself admits: "I loved for myself, for my own pleasure ...".
I think that the author condemns the extreme individualism and selfishness of his hero. Pechorin explains his cooling towards Bela in this way: “I was mistaken again: the love of a savage is a little better than the love of a noble lady; the ignorance and simple-heartedness of one are just as annoying as the coquetry of another.” However, living hearts pay for the mistakes and experiments of the protagonist.
