I remember A.S. Griboyedov’s comedy “Woe from Wit”. The conflict between "fathers and sons" here lies in the field of worldviews, views on the world. Famusov boasts that, in his opinion, he lived his life with dignity. He argues that Sophia should not look for another role model, if in the eyes of "an example of a father." What is interesting in this work is that the “fathers” include not only Famusov and his entourage, but also Chatsky’s peers, Sofya and Molchalin, who are members Famus Society, and Chatsky - a representative of the new world - is alien to them. Alien because he thinks about the world and acts differently in life.
This social phenomenon was also reflected in Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons", where Yevgeny Bazarov, with his behavior and statements, shows that the time in which the older Kirsanovs and his father lived is irreversibly fading into the past, and it is being replaced by an era with other principles and ideals. But even in this work it can be noted that in its finale, Arkady, a former companion of Bazarov, and his wife Katya, young people, join the camp of "fathers". Interesting in this novel is the fact that N.P. Kirsanov is ready to agree with Bazarov's reproaches: "The pill is bitter, but you need to swallow it!"
I can conclude that disagreements between "fathers" and "children" have always existed. Their reasons are completely different, but the essence is the same - a misunderstanding of people different eras, which is easy to avoid if you are at least a little more tolerant of each other. At the same time, I want to emphasize that no matter how the fathers and children argued, they still remained and remain close people ...
Essay-reasoning
Is the conflict between fathers and children eternal?
But the children grow up, and in almost every family there is some kind of misunderstanding, and often a conflict flares up between the elder and younger generation. Why is this happening? Why relatives, close people do not feel comfortable next to each other, cannot or do not even want to be together? These are not today's questions: the problem has existed for centuries and, unfortunately, not only has not been solved, but is becoming more and more aggravated. The conflict of "fathers and sons", of course, could not help but get on the pages of the works of Russian writers.
In the 19th century I.S. Turgenev just called one of his significant novels - "Fathers and Sons". Basically, the writer talks about the clash of ideas, but I would like to dwell on an everyday situation that is close to any person: on the relationship between Yevgeny Bazarov and his parents.
Bazarov's parents, Vasily Ivanovich and Arina Vlasyevna, are madly in love with their only son. When, after a long separation, he comes to them, they cannot breathe on their "Enyushenka", they do not know what to feed and where to put their son. The father experiences undisguised joy and pride when Arkady calls Bazarov "one of the most wonderful people whom he has ever met. "But what about Bazarov? Does he have the same feelings towards old people? He loves his parents, but judges sharply, calling their life insignificant, stinking. Such an existence causes boredom and anger in him. Having not lived in the family for even two days, Eugene is going to leave: his father's adoration and mother's troubles interfere with him.
The situation is understandable and typical: it always seems to young people that parents are "retired people, and their song is sung," that everything new and interesting is outside their home. That they, young people, will do much more and better than their ancestors. Of course, this is how it should be, otherwise life would stand still! But young man should remain a sense of spiritual attachment to parents and home, a sense of sincere thanks to everything that the elders gave him.
In the last tragic moments of his life, Bazarov is surrounded by the love of his parents and speaks of them with tenderness: "After all, people like them cannot be found during the day with fire ..." Wherever the hero aspired, whatever goals he set for himself, it was enough him warmth to give the old people their due before they die.
I would like to recall one more work that makes us think about how callous and cruel we are sometimes towards ourselves. close person- mothers. In the story of K. Paustovsky "Telegram" the old loving mother Katerina Petrovna has been waiting for her daughter Nastya for a long time. And that business, worries, everyday fuss, and there is not even time to answer a mother's letter. But since the mother writes, it means she is alive and well. Nastya sends money to the old woman and does not think that the mother just needs to see her daughter, hold her hand, stroke her head. When the girl received an alarming telegram and finally arrived in the village, her mother had already been buried by strangers. She can only come to a fresh grave mound. She feels the bitterness and weight of her loss, but nothing can be returned.
Writers show that often at the heart of the eternal conflict lies the ordinary callousness and ingratitude of children.
Life is not easy: parents and children cannot live without ever arguing, quarreling, offending each other. But if both of them remember that they are one link in an endless chain of generations, that life is tightly connected links of this chain, that everything rests on love, kindness, mutual understanding, then, perhaps, the long-standing conflict of generations will exhaust itself, and people on earth will be happier. I think it's possible.
An eternal problem in front of which people are often powerless different generations, is the conflict of fathers and children. Previously considered the basis of human existence life principles older, tend to go into the past, and be replaced by new life ideals in which the younger generation believes. At the same time, the generation of “fathers” does not want to give in and makes attempts to preserve everything that inspired faith in it, and by which it lived all its life.
Often, representatives of the older generation do not want to reckon with the new beliefs of young people, expressing a desire for peace. They want to leave everything as it was. But “children” are distinguished by more progressive views on life, they are in constant motion, striving to subject everything to restructuring, changes, not understanding the passivity of the elders.
The clash between “fathers” and “children” has always taken place, it remains relevant today, and will disturb the lives of future generations. This became a reflection of the thoughts of many Russian writers. Everyone has a different way of solving this problem.
in your creativity. Among these classics of literature is I. S. Turgenev, who wrote the work “Fathers and Sons”, which deserves special attention. The novel describes the main opponents and antagonists - Evgeny Bazarov and Pavel Kirsanov. A conflict unfolds before the reader, considered as the emergence of the problem of “fathers and children”. This refers to social, political and social differences. It is important to note the difference between Bazarov and Kirsanov in terms of their social background which, of course, was reflected in the formation of the views of these individuals.
Bazarov's progenitors were serfs. In order to achieve his goals in life, he needed to think and work hard. Eugene was attracted by the study of medical and natural sciences, conducting experiments, collecting beetles and insects. Unlike him, Pavel Petrovich grew up in a prosperous atmosphere of prosperity, even settling in the village with his brother, Kirsanov managed to observe secular decorum. Appearance given character attached great importance. Kirsanov Pavel Petrovich's hobby was poetry. He considered it his duty to observe the noble way of life.

All children love their parents. Although kids are sometimes capricious and do not obey, nevertheless, for them, their mother is the kindest and most beautiful, and their father is the strongest and smartest.

(Biblical commandment)
"The connection of times is broken"
(W. Shakespeare)

is in short supply
spiritual bonds"
(V.V. Putin)
2. The teacher's word about the goals and objectives of the lesson
Word-by-word thinking about the wording of the topic. The teacher emphasizes that every word is really important here. And the key words here are:
Conflict is a clash, irreconcilability, contradiction, protest.
Continuity is the continuation of what was started by the predecessors, following their path.
How do you understand epigraphs?
Introduction by the teacher.
“It hurts me to talk about it today, but I have to say it. Today, Russian society is experiencing a clear shortage of spiritual bonds,” these are the words from the message to the Federal Assembly of President V.V. Putin.
Indeed, our society has lost over the past decades traditional moral values. The disunity of "Fathers and Sons", misunderstanding even within one generation is especially acute now, when the former meanings and goals have been lost, and new ones cause confusion and uncertainty.
True, such disputes were obvious in the old days.
I propose to recall the essence of the disputes between fathers and children in the novel by I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons".
Remember what marked the arrival of Bazarov in Maryino?
First of all, Bazarov does not consider it necessary to change his usual behavior in order to please the elementary rules of courtesy. Once in the society of people of the older generation who do not share revolutionary democratic convictions, he shows intolerance towards their opinion, becomes rude among his comrades.
3. Examination homework(advance homework)
As an early homework assignment, you should have thought about the following questions:
- How did Turgenev oppose the nihilist Bazarov to the Kirsanov brothers?
Is Bazarov endowed with reflection, a certain discrepancy between words (beliefs) and deeds (willingness and ability to “get out of hand”)? In what episodes does it show up?
How do Bazarov characterize his cynical judgments about women and his deep, passionate love for Odintsova?
What can be said about the hero's rude statements about his parents and tender love for his old people?
In what episodes of the novel is Bazarov's "great heart" and the unconditional tragedy of his fate revealed? Where does the tragedy of senseless denial of what is beautiful (music, poetry, painting, nature) manifest itself?
4. Conversation behavior
The problem littered with Turgenev in the title of the novel is a problem for all time. Actually, this is the problem of rethinking the life values of the generation that precedes the generation that comes to replace it. Not every generational change is accompanied by such a rethinking and such a break, as happened with Bazarov.
It is important to note that the ideological conflict that arose in the novel between Bazarov and the "fathers" cannot be resolved by reconciliation. Worldview confrontation leads to a complete rupture - to a violation of connections of times. (see 1 epigraph). The figure of Bazarov is tragic because of his loneliness. He does not have real followers in his main field (do not think that medicine is his main field). He is lonely in his personal life. His old parents are almost afraid of him, and he misses them. And in relations with Odintsova, he fails. This story completely broke him.
It suddenly turns out that with the people, knowledge and understanding, of which he boasts so much, he also does not have a true affinity. A simple peasant pronounces a sentence on him: “It is known, master: does he understand anything?”
Skepticism embraces the hero. He himself ceases to believe in the necessity of any useful activity. Fatigue, inaction, longing of the hero lead to a tragic dead end of his life path.
5. Transition to the analysis of scenes from The Captain's Daughter
Teacher
And yet, how good it is when not a war, not a protest against the older generation, but continuity, which gives an understanding of the meaning of the life of fathers, is established in the minds of children. "Spiritual bonds" forever connected Peter Grinev with his parents.
Recall the main episodes that reveal the behavior of the hero, following the covenant of the father, in the story " Captain's daughter».

We draw a conclusion
An example of perseverance, loyalty to one's convictions, to the tsar and the Fatherland and, of course, to God, is Pyotr Grinev. Despite the difficult dramatic circumstances in which he found himself, Pyotr Grinev did not drop his honor, remained faithful to the empress and did not dishonor the honor of his family. The hero always hoped for the mercy of the Lord and got out of the most difficult situations thanks to his moral character. IN difficult moments life, he is guided not by momentary interests, but by higher principles that help him make the right decisions. No matter how Pugachev persuaded him to go over to his side, Grinev did not betray himself, his convictions, while maintaining dignity and honor.

Essay 1
Both heroes (Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich) felt hostility towards each other at the first meeting. Pavel Petrovich dubbed Bazarov a cynic, a plebeian, a doctor, a hairy, charlatan. Bazarov calls Kirsanov an aristocrat, an idiot. And the very first meeting over tea led to a verbal duel, which lasted until the real duel.
Argued over various issues that worried at that time: about backgammon, his life, about science, patriotism, religion, art. Here and below, the nihilistic views of Bazarov came to light. He believes that "a decent chemist is 20 times more useful than a poet", that "nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man is a worker in it." Bazarov does not recognize feelings, believing that there are only sensations. Being a naturalist, the hero does not recognize any higher spiritual values.
But life begins to test Bazarov's views. Gradually, after meeting with Odintsova, Bazarov begins to realize his helplessness before eternity and the power of nature: “... And the part of the time that I manage to live is so insignificant before eternity, where I was not and will not be! ..” - he exclaims. We feel sadness and confusion in these words.
Yes, and love, which he also denied, enters his life. As it turned out, he is capable of a deep feeling. Although it remained unanswered, and in fact before he was so cynical in relation to a woman.
Bazarov's conflict with his parents gives particular sharpness and piercing. Bazarov's feelings are contradictory. On the one hand, in a burst of frankness, he admits that he loves his parents, and on the other hand, contempt for “ stupid life fathers", dictated by his life position, his firm convictions. This discord, apparently, cannot be resolved. Bazarov claims: "Every person should educate himself - well, at least like me." But he is wrong. Only thanks to the example of parents, their upbringing, was Bazarov's intellectual growth possible. Its tragedy is that having lost the opportunity to understand them, to accept them as they are. As it is, forgive. There is a great gulf between them, and Bazarov himself does not want to get close to them, considering this a step back.
“Honor your father and your mother, may it be good for you, may you live long on earth,” says the fifth commandment given by the Lord God. What is the right way to honor your father and mother? First of all, it is to love them, to be grateful to them for the life they gave, not to judge their actions, to take care of them until their death, to listen to them in everything.
Complete oblivion of this commandment in Bazarov: "be it good to you, you will have to on earth." I forgot about God, excluded him from my life: “I look at the sky when I want to sneeze,” says the hero. And here's why tragic ending story.
Essay No. 2
So what is the novel about? About the tragedy of a man corroded with the world of his fathers. A novel about a man who trampled on many universal, Christian values: love for one's neighbor, the commandments "thou shalt not kill" (he still shot himself in a duel) and "what is his father and mother."
What else can be blamed on him. Guilty, because he was burdened by his parents, was condescending and arrogant in friendship, cynical in relation to a woman, treated Sitnikov and Kukshina with contempt, people, albeit miserable and narrow-minded, but still people. And most importantly, he excluded the thought of God. So all the same, apart, and not together with the fathers of the mountain. He never changed his beliefs. The extremes in the views of Bazarov were brought to all subsequent times, because they carried a destructive, immoral beginning.
Essay No. 3
Problems of fathers and children exist in many works of literature. In the family, from his parents, a person receives the first knowledge about life, about relationships between people. Therefore, the relationship in the family, between parents and children, depends on how a person will treat other people in the future, what moral principles he will choose for himself, what will be the main and sacred for him.
“Take care of honor from a young age,” this is how the father of his son Peter, setting off for military service. And Peter Grinev fulfilled this covenant to the end. In difficult circumstances, the hero often finds himself, but he never sullied his honor or dropped his dignity. Spiritual bonds, speaking modern language, tied him to his roots forever. Nowhere in the story does Grinev retreat from honor out of cowardice, out of fear. Here in the Belogorsk fortress, the captured Grinev, recognized and spared by Pugachev, is dragged to the chieftain to kiss the hand of the “sovereign”. "Kiss the hand, kiss the hand!" they were talking about me. But I would have preferred the cruelest execution to such vile humiliation.”
In the story, nowhere does Grinev consciously compromise his officer's honor. He is spared, he is given gifts and Pugachev helps to free his bride. Grinev himself does not help the impostor in any way, except for moral help. Moreover, he forces Pugachev to treat his ideas of honor and oath with a certain respect.
“God sees that with my life I would be glad to pay you for what you have done for me. Just do not demand what is contrary to my honor and Christian conscience, ”Grinev says to Pugachev when Masha is released.
Essay No. 4
Nowhere in the story does honor contradict conscience. What to hold on to What won't let you down? It is necessary to hold on to conscience, to honor in the eyes of God (I think this was what the father had in mind when instructing his son), for God. This will help to maintain honor in the eyes of people. Such a deeply Christian, deeply Russian answer is given by Pushkin in the story The Captain's Daughter. His hero, of course, from an early age, knew the commandment to honor parents. And it was good for him, but he was long-lived on earth, for he remained a true citizen, good family man and a true Christian.
Essay No. 5
Fathers are different. There were also those who in their instructions, which for them was the most important thing in life. Father punished Pavlusha Chichikov most of all to please teachers and mentors, to save and save a penny. "You will do everything and break through the world with a penny." Spiritual emptiness and carrion emanates from the hero. All thoughts and feelings of this person are subordinated to one desire - to become rich at any cost. For the sake of the cherished goal, he resorts to cunning and deceit, showing the most disgusting qualities: resourcefulness, dexterity, flattery, fraud. There is nothing sacred in this man, and it could not be, judging by the instruction, which he clearly surpassed. Gogol calls Chichikov a scoundrel.
But another character is Molchalin. He fully shares the views of the older generation. It helps him a lot in life. He also achieved the rank of assessor, and became the secretary of Famusov, the Moscow ace, he is loved by the daughter of a rich man. And all this because he adhered to the covenant of his father:
First, to please all people without exception-
the owner, where you happen to live,
the boss with whom I will serve,
his servant who cleans the dress,
doorman, janitor to avoid evil,
janitor's dog, so that it was affectionate.
In addition to this servility and servility, "moderation and accuracy" brought him significant success. But the reader is not mistaken: everything is disgusting in this man, everything is hidden, concealed. Clever Chatsky can see the insignificance and stupidity of Molchalin, his voicelessness and cringing. At the end of the play, the cowardice and meanness of Molchalin, his prudence and hypocrisy, his sycophancy and insincerity were revealed to Sofya.
Final word from the teacher.
This is how we talk in the lesson about the conflict and continuity of generations, the problem of fathers and children. This problem has always existed and remains relevant today.
What values will the younger generation inherit from the older ones? What “spiritual bonds will unite people in a family, society? What basic values are most in demand by young people today? And what to do, what would still " Eternal values» the highest human qualities - such as faith, honor and nobility, service to one's cause, work in revealing the talents given to a person by God, kindness, love for people, one's Fatherland, loyalty to it - were honored by everyone who enters adulthood life. For forgetfulness, neglect of them leads to misunderstanding between people and generations, tragic breaks.
Roman I. S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons" - the most famous work a writer who raises questions that have remained relevant for centuries. Chief among them is the relationship between fathers and children. Therefore, it is no coincidence that today any school program provides an essay on the topic "The Dispute of Generations".
Curriculum vitae
Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a nobleman by birth. His childhood was spent in family estate where the boy was raised by personal teachers and tutors. In 1827 the family moved from Orel to Moscow. Here Turgenev enters a boarding school, and then to Moscow University, from which a year later he is transferred to St. Petersburg. He traveled a lot in his younger years in Europe, attended literary circles.
1843 was marked by the beginning of Turgenev's service in the Ministry of the Interior. The writer meets Belinsky, begins work on the first works. But only after the death of Nicholas II saw the light major works, including "Fathers and Sons". This became most famous largely due to the fact that each of us wrote an essay at school on the topic "Fathers and Sons - the conflict of two generations."
Ivan Sergeevich showed an incredible craving for Western literature, because of which he even moved to Baden-Baden. Here he participated in the literary and cultural life and got to know foreign writers: Dickens, Merimee, Hugo, Thackeray and many others. After some time, Turgenev began to translate the works of Russian writers into foreign languages. His tireless activity is eventually rewarded with a doctorate from the University of Oxford. The last took place in Paris, where he died in 1883.
Creativity Turgenev
An essay on the topic “The Dispute of Generations” is best to start with a small paragraph containing short review the entire work of the writer.
Belinsky and Gogol were the first to notice and appreciate Turgenev's talent. Having met the future writer at a young age, they immediately noticed the potential in his work. Belinsky succeeded in early works Turgenev to determine the features of the writer's work: observation, realism, lightness and elegance of style, attention to detail.
Turgenev could not be called a revolutionary, but his interest in the fate of the motherland, the desire to alleviate its fate and correct shortcomings is strongly manifested in his works. Many Russian revolutionaries were brought up precisely on these ideas of the writer.
The history of the creation of the novel "Fathers and Sons"
You can also start writing an essay on the topic “The Dispute of Generations” by describing the process of creating a work.
The idea of writing a novel arose in 1860. Turgenev immediately gets to work, and the first chapters appear very quickly. However, for productive activity stagnation comes, and it resumes only after a year. But in general, the novel was written very quickly. The history of the creation of the work can be completed with a report on its last edition, which Turgenev carried out before publication in 1862. Later, the author himself never made any changes to his text.
The main conflict of the novel
The dispute between two generations in the novel by I. S. Turgenev “Fathers and Sons” is the main conflict of the work. The sharp controversy between senior and junior representatives of society became a plot-forming one and raised a number of serious issues: the inevitability of changing values, the perception of the experience of ancestors, its comprehension and transformation, the difference in worldview among representatives of different ages.
In addition to this leading conflict, the problem of social strata is also raised in the novel. From the origin of the hero depend on his Political Views and ideas about the world.
The image of Bazarov
Yevgeny Bazarov is the key character of the novel, he is a nihilist, he believes only in science and does not see the point in beauty and useless art. This is a strong and self-confident person, he is endowed with sharp mind and inclined to exact sciences. Bazarov is a materialist, the main thing for him is work, the strength of his personality is such that it is easy to fall under his influence. Everything ephemeral, abstract and not bringing concrete benefit in his understanding is useless. Eugene sometimes appears as a very tough, even cruel and ruthless person. He freely criticizes and insults his opponents without looking back at their feelings.
All this characteristic can be freely transferred to written work on the topic "Dispute of generations: together and apart". The final essay must necessarily include an analysis and its evolutions.
Changes in Eugene's worldview occur at the moment when he falls in love. After meeting with Odintsova, his former ideals and theories collapse. Bazarov finds himself at a crossroads, he can no longer hide behind cynicism, now he is aware of the complexity of human relationships.
Bazarov and Pavel Kirsanov
It is impossible, without considering these two images, to write an essay on the topic “The Dispute of Generations”. Bazarov and Pavel Petrovich are the characters on whose contradictions the entire conflict of the work is built. Bazarov rebels against what he calls the inventions of inactive aristocrats: art, friendship, love, soul, religion. Of course, his main adversary just one of the "inventors" of all this is Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov.
Kirsanov believes that the nobility is called upon to preserve the main values of mankind - spiritual ones, therefore it is natural that Evgeny's reasoning leads him to anger and indignation. He is alien to "newfangled influences."
A mini-essay on the topic “The Problem of the Generation Conflict” can be started by describing the acquaintance of Pavel Petrovich and Bazarov and the quarrels that immediately begin to flare up between them. These heroes have different ideas about everything, be it science, politics, morality, feelings. Any topic leads them to confrontation.
But in these disputes, Bazarov invariably comes out victorious. All Kirsanov's arguments remain unsubstantiated. Pavel Petrovich does not have original thoughts and beliefs, he voices long-known and already outdated truths. Eugene expresses original ideas who can really change the world and help people. Bazarov is a man of physical and mental labor, Pavel Petrovich is a contemplator and philosopher. There can be nothing in common between these heroes, they are representatives of diametrically opposed worldviews.
Indicative in the characterization of the image of Pavel Petrovich is an episode in which his life abroad is described. The only reminder of the homeland that Kirsanov has preserved is an ashtray made in the form of a peasant's bast shoes.
Arkady's conflict with his father
Arkady's confrontation with his father is not as open as the conflict between Pavel Kirsanov and Bazarov. Therefore, an essay on the topic “The Dispute of Generations: Together and Apart” can include only a brief mention of these disagreements.
Nikolai Petrovich, unlike his brother, is endowed by Turgenev with wisdom and an exalted soul. The son is in many ways similar to his father, which does not allow these two heroes to finally move away and become irreconcilable enemies. Arkady himself is different from his idol Yevgeny, he is not so convinced of nihilistic ideas and theories. The cynicism and disregard for the feelings of Kirsanov Jr. are simulated, which leads Nikolai Petrovich to indignation. However, Kirsanov's wisdom is so great that he does not blame his son and does not try to convince him. He waits, and gradually Arkady returns home, abandoning false ideals. In fact, Kirsanov Jr. needs peace, prosperity and a quiet happy life from life. Therefore, the conflict of these two characters cannot be as strong as the confrontation between Bazarov and Uncle Arkady.
Conclusion
Thus, the essay on the topic “The Dispute of Generations: Together and Apart” should reflect the main conflict between the nihilist commoner Bazarov and the idealist aristocrat Pavel Petrovich. The contradiction between Arkady and his father is only a reflection of the desire of Kirsanov Jr. to appear independent and independent.
