I erected a monument to myself, not made by hands,

The people's path to him will not be overgrown,

He ascended higher with his rebellious head

Alexandrian Pillar.

No, all of me will not die - the soul is in the treasured lyre

My ashes will survive and decay will escape -

And I will be glorious as long as I am in the sublunary world

At least one piit will be alive.

Rumors about me will spread throughout Great Rus',

And every tongue that is in it will call me,

And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn, and now wild

Tungus, and friend of the steppes Kalmyk.

And for a long time I will be so kind to the people,

That I awakened good feelings with my lyre,

That in my cruel age I glorified Freedom

And he called for mercy for the fallen.

By the command of God, O muse, be obedient,

Without fear of insult, without demanding a crown;

Praise and slander were accepted indifferently

And don't argue with a fool.

Historical and biographical material

History of creation and date of writing of the poem

The poem was written a few months before the poet's death in 1836. It was read by Pushkin at the New Year's ball.

The place of the poem in the poet’s work

The poet sums up his work, trying to look into the future.

The main theme of the poem

The poem “Monument” is dedicated to reflections on the purpose of the poet and poetry on earth. It seems to me that this poem expresses the poet’s strong, already established views. According to Pushkin, the poet is God's messenger who brings the righteous word to the people. The author is confident that his work will not fade over the years, and people will always be interested in his creations.

Theme of creativity, poet and poetry.

Lyrical plot

The plot of the poem is an understanding of the poet’s fate on a historical scale.

The problem of the poem

The problem of consolidating one's fame as a poet over time.

Poem composition

Pushkin believes that his soul, contained in poetry, is immortal:

Soul in the treasured lyre

My ashes will survive and decay will escape.

In the last stanza, the poet calls on the muse to be supportive, that is, he asks that inspiration not leave him. He also asks you to “accept praise and slander indifferently,” because the crowd is fickle: today it praises, and tomorrow it shames and hates your poems. Of course, this will confuse or confuse anyone.

The last line exhorts the muse to “not challenge a fool.” If a person does not understand everything that the poet wanted to convey in poetry, then there is no need to prove to him the importance of the poet and poetry on our land.

In the first four stanzas, the lyrical hero reflects on his poetic heritage, the last stanza is an appeal to the muse.

Lyrical hero

Prevailing mood and its changes

The mood is solemn and sublime throughout the poem.

By its sublimity, the work can be defined as an ode. It glorifies the poet and his merits.

Five stanzas, quatrains.

Basic images

The image of the miraculous monument is created in comparison with a real granite column installed in 1834 on Palace Square in St. Petersburg in honor of the winner Napoleon, one of the organizers of the Holy Alliance of Emperor Alexander I.

The image of the muse is pure, untainted by pride. She does not accept flattery and does not condemn critics.

Vocabulary of the poem

Vocabulary of high style, which is typical for this genre: “erected”, “head”, “command”.

Poetic syntax

The poem uses many vivid means of linguistic expressiveness. For example, an allegory (the word “monument” means something that the poet created during his life), epithets (a monument not made by hands, with an unruly head, in the treasured lyre, the sublunary world, according to Great Rus', a living language, a friend of the steppes Kalmyk, wild Tungus), personifications (the soul will survive the dust and flee corruption; muse, be obedient, accept praise and slander indifferently, do not challenge a fool), antitheses (miraculous and rebellious, good feelings and cruel ages, praise and slander), archaic words that give the poem solemnity ( drink, until, in the treasured lyre, throughout Great Rus', he erected the miraculous, accepted, existing, do not dispute).

Complex sentences, inversion used.

Visual means of allegory

epithets: “monument not made by hands”, “rebellious head”, “treasured lyre”.

Sound recording

The dynamics of the development of the lyrical plot are conveyed by phonic means. The repetition that prevails in the first stanza emphasizes the key idea (sound associations):

I remember Nick erected for himself Not man-made ny,

TO Not mu Not will be overgrown on genus Naya trail,

WHO Not sit higher He head Not submissive Noah

Alex en Dry pillar.

No, all of me Not I'll die...

In the next three stanza-quatrains, such a phonic system as onomatopoeia comes to the fore. Thanks to the repetition of “d” with vowels, the echo of a bell can be heard. The impression is created not only solemn, but also alarming, since the assonant sound “u” is activated. In the last stanza he prevails, emphasizing tragic notes in the psychological state of the lyrical hero.

Iambic hexameter, two-syllable foot with stress on the 2nd syllable.

Rhythm and rhyme. Methods of rhyming

The rhyme is cross.

Emotions evoked while reading

In my opinion, the poem “Monument” is one of the most striking and beautiful poems by A.S. Pushkin, which occupies a significant place in his work.

The poem “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands...” is notable for the fact that it was written just a few months before the tragic death of Pushkin. It is called the spiritual testament of the poet, and a brief analysis of “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands” according to plan will help you understand why. It can be used in literature lessons in 8th grade.

Brief Analysis

History of creation- the poem was written in 1836 and published in the first posthumous collection of Pushkin’s poems in 1841. Zhukovsky made minor changes to it.

Theme of the poem– the role of the poet and his works in public life, their important purpose.

Composition- classic five-strophe. The first stanza elevates the poet above society and time, the last one speaks of his divine destiny, thus the thought develops consistently.

Genre- Oh yeah.

Poetic size– iambic, but the rhythm is also based on anaphors.

Metaphors- “The folk trail will not be overgrown.”

Epithets– “a monument not made by hands,” a folk trail,” “a proud grandson.”

Inversions- “a disobedient head,” “and I will be glorious...”.

Anaphora- “that I awakened good feelings with the lyre, that in my cruel age I glorified freedom.”

History of creation

This work, on the one hand, echoes “Monument” by Gabriel Derzhavin, on the other hand, it is a response to a poem written by Delvig, Pushkin’s friend from the time of the Lyceum. A year after it was written, the poet would die from a wound received in a duel with Dantes, so it is called the spiritual testament of the “sun of Russian poetry.” It is believed that he had a presentiment of death and knew that this moment would come soon, so he outlined his views on poetry as they were at that time.

During Pushkin's lifetime, the poem was never published - it was published only in 1841, edited by Vasily Zhukovsky. It was published not in a magazine, but in a collection of poems - the first published after the death of the poet.

Subject

The main problem posed by the poet is the role of the creator and poetry in public life, how the word influences people and the resulting responsibility of the poet. Pushkin believed that a creator should be a citizen, because he can and should change the world for the better.

The lyrical hero of this work is a poet who, from the very beginning, stands not only above the people around him, but also above time itself; he is immortal thanks to the soul contained in the “cherished lyre.” Pushkin says that even after death everyone will remember him and his poems, and at the end he gives instructions to everyone who has decided to connect their lives with a changeable muse: you need to be obedient only to God, accept both praise and slander with equal indifference, and don't argue with stupid people. A very important line is “without fear of insult, without demanding a crown,” which teaches the poet not to pay attention to hostility and, most importantly, not to demand recognition of his merits.

This is the main idea of ​​the work, the theme of which is the purpose of the poet.

Composition

The idea in the poem develops logically from the first to the last stanza, and to further highlight the last line in the stanza, Pushkin used an interesting technique: the first three lines in the stanza are written in iambic trimeter, while the fourth is written in iambic tetrameter.

First, the poet says that the creator is above his time, then the thought turns to his purpose - awakening goodness in people, glorifying freedom, showing mercy. The final, fifth stanza, instructs the “muse,” that is, those whom she visits, to be indifferent to earthly recognition or worse, to obey only God.

Genre

This is an ode filled with solemnity and high pathos, which is further emphasized by the use of various Slavicisms. The citizen poet delivers his ceremonial speech, demonstrating a strong creative and human position, which is why this genre is best suited.

Means of expression

Pushkin used a wide poetic arsenal to express his thoughts. There is only one in this work metaphor- “the folk trail will not be overgrown,” however, there are much more other means of expression and images. So, in the work there are such stylistic figures as antithesis– “praise and slander” – and anaphora- “that I awakened good feelings with the lyre, that in my cruel age I glorified freedom”, epithets– “monument not made by hands”, “folk trail”, “proud grandson”, “cruel age”, inversions- “a disobedient head”, “and I will be glorious...”.

The fourth stanza, very important for understanding what role Pushkin assigned himself in Russian poetry, stands out precisely due to anaphora, while the last one stands out with the help of the address “about the muse” - in fact, the poet addresses not the muse itself, but to to those who create with its help. He shows how he sees ideal poetry - free from human weaknesses and obeying only the highest court, that is, God.

History of creation. The poem “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands...” was written on August 21, 1836, that is, shortly before Pushkin’s death. In it, he sums up his poetic activity, relying on the traditions of not only Russian, but also world literature. The immediate model from which Pushkin started was Derzhavin’s poem “Monument” (1795), which became very famous. At the same time, Pushkin not only compares himself and his poetry with his great predecessor, but also highlights the features characteristic of his work.

Genre and composition. According to genre characteristics, Pushkin's poem is an ode, but it is a special variety of this genre. It came to Russian literature as a pan-European tradition, originating in antiquity. It is not for nothing that Pushkin took the lines from the poem by the ancient Roman poet Horace “To Melpomene” as the epigraph to the poem: Exegi monumentum - “I erected a monument.” Horace is the author of "Satire" and a number of poems that glorified his name. He created the message “To Melpomene” at the end of his creative career. Melpomene in ancient Greek mythology is one of the nine muses, the patroness of tragedy, and a symbol of performing arts. In this message, Horace evaluates his merits in poetry. Subsequently, the creation of this kind of poems in the genre of a kind of poetic “monument” became a stable literary tradition. It was introduced into Russian literature by Lomonosov, who was the first to translate Horace’s message. Then G.R. made a free translation of the poem with an assessment of his merits in poetry. Derzhavin, calling it “Monument”. It was in it that the main genre features of such poetic “monuments” were determined. This genre variety was finally formed in Pushkin’s “Monument”.

Following Derzhavin, Pushkin divides his poem into five stanzas, using similar verse form and meter. Like Derzhavin's, Pushkin's poem is written in quatrains, but with a slightly modified meter. In the first three lines, like Derzhavin, Pushkin uses the traditional. The odic meter is iambic 6-foot (Alexandrian verse), but the last line is written in iambic 4-foot, which makes it stressed and puts a semantic emphasis on it.

Main themes and ideas. Pushkin's poem is. a hymn to poetry. Its main theme is the glorification of true poetry and the affirmation of the high purpose of the poet in the life of society. In this, Pushkin acts as the heir to the traditions of Lomonosov and Derzhavin. But at the same time, given the similarity of external forms with Derzhavin’s poem, Pushkin largely rethought the problems posed, and put forward his own idea of ​​​​the meaning of creativity and its evaluation. Revealing the topic of the relationship between the poet and the reader, Pushkin points out that his poetry is largely addressed to a wide addressee. This is clear." Already from the first lines. ". "The people's path will not grow to it," he says about his literary "monument." The first stanza is a traditional statement of the significance of a poetic monument in comparison with other ways to perpetuate merits.. But Pushkin introduces here the theme of freedom, which is a cross-cutting theme in his work, noting that his “monument” is marked by a love of freedom: “He rose higher with the head of the rebellious pillar of Alexandria.”

The second, the stanza of all the poets who created such poems, affirms the immortality of poetry, which allows the author to continue to live in the memory of descendants: “No, all of me will not die - the soul in the treasured lyre / My ashes will survive and will escape decay.” But unlike Derzhavin, Pushkin, who in the last years of his life experienced misunderstanding and rejection of the crowd, emphasizes that his poetry will find a wider response in the hearts of people close to him in spirituality, creators, and we are talking not only about domestic literature, “about and about the poets of the whole world: “And I will be glorious, as long as in the sublunary world / At least one poet will live.”

The third stanza, like Derzhavin’s, is devoted to the theme of the development of interest in poetry among the widest sections of the people, previously unfamiliar with it, and wide posthumous fame:

Rumors about me will spread throughout Great Rus',
And the spirit that is in her will call me. language,
And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn, and now wild
Tungus, and friend of the steppes Kalmyk.

The main semantic load is carried by the fourth stanza. It is in it that the poet defines the main thing that constitutes the essence of his work and for which he can hope for poetic immortality:

And for a long time I will be so kind to the people,
That I awakened good feelings with my lyre,
That in my cruel age I glorified freedom
And he called for mercy for the fallen.

In these lines, Pushkin draws the reader’s attention to the humanity and humanism of his works, returning to the most important problem of late creativity. From the poet’s point of view, the “good feelings” that art awakens in readers are more important than its aesthetic qualities. For the literature of the second half of the 19th century, this problem will become the subject of fierce debate between representatives of democratic criticism and the so-called pure art. But for Pushkin the possibility of a harmonious solution is obvious: the last two lines of this stanza return us to the theme of freedom, but understood through the prism of the idea of ​​mercy. It is significant that in the initial version, Pushkin wrote “after Radishchev” instead of the words “in my cruel age.” It was not only because of censorship considerations that the poet refused such a direct indication of the political meaning of love of freedom. More important for the author of “The Captain's Daughter,” where the problem of mercy and mercy was very acutely posed, was the affirmation of the idea of ​​goodness and justice in their highest, Christian understanding.

The last stanza is an appeal to the muse, traditional for “monument” poems:

By the command of God, O muse, be obedient,
Without fear of insult, without demanding a crown,
Praise and slander were accepted indifferently
And don't argue with a fool.

In Pushkin, these lines are filled with a special meaning: they return us to the ideas expressed in the program poem “The Prophet”. Their main idea is that the poet creates according to a higher will, and therefore he is responsible for his art not before people, who are often unable to understand him, but before God. Such ideas were characteristic of Pushkin’s late work and were expressed in the poems “The Poet”, “To the Poet”, “The Poet and the Crowd”. In them, the problem of the poet and society arises with particular urgency, and the fundamental independence of the artist from the opinions of the public is affirmed. In Pushkin’s “Monument” this idea acquires the most succinct formulation, which creates a harmonious conclusion to reflections on poetic glory and overcoming death through divinely inspired art.

Artistic originality. The significance of the theme and the high pathos of the poem determined the special solemnity of its overall sound. The slow, majestic rhythm is created not only due to the odic meter (iamb with pyrrhic), but also the widespread use of anaphora (“And I will be glorious...”, “And he will call me...”, “And the proud grandson of the Slavs...” ”, “And for a long time I will be kind to you...”, “And mercy to the fallen..”), inversion (“He ascended higher as the head of the rebellious pillar of Alexandria), syntactic parallelism and series of homogeneous members (“And the proud grandson of the Slavs, and the Finn , and now the wild Tungus..."). The selection of lexical means also contributes to the creation of a high style. The poet uses sublime epithets (monument not made by hands, head unruly, cherished lyre, in the sublunary world, proud grandson of the Slavs), a large number of Slavicisms (erected, head, piit, until). One of the most significant artistic images of the poem uses metonymy - “That I awakened good feelings with the lyre...”. In general, all artistic means create a solemn hymn to poetry.

The meaning of the work. Pushkin's "Monument", continuing the traditions of Lomonosov and Derzhavin, has a special place in Russian literature. He not only summed up Pushkin’s work, but also marked that milestone, that height of poetic art, which served as a guide for all subsequent generations of Russian poets. Not all of them strictly followed the genre tradition of the “monument” poem, like A.A. Fet, but every time the Russian poet turns to the problem of art, its purpose and assessment of his achievements, he recalls Pushkin’s words: “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands...”, trying to get closer to its unattainable height.

Keep me in the days of persecution,
In days of repentance and excitement:

The waves are roaring around me,
When the clouds burst into thunder,
Keep me safe, my talisman.

In the solitude of foreign countries,
In the bosom of boring peace,
In the anxiety of a fiery battle
Keep me safe, my talisman.

Holy sweet deception
A magical luminary of the soul...
It hid itself, changed...
Keep me safe, my talisman.

Let it be in the age of heart wounds
It won't spoil the memory.
Farewell hope; sleep, desire;
Keep me safe, my talisman.

1 quatrain

On days of joy and desires

I was crazy about balls:

Or rather, there is no room for confessions

And for delivering a letter.

2 quatrains

It’s not the wind that bends the branch,

It’s not the oak tree that makes noise -

Then my heart groans

Like an autumn leaf trembling.

S. Stromilov

3 quatrains

The blue dove is moaning,

He moans both day and night

His dear little friend

Flew away for a long time.

Teacher: Pushkin continued to live an energetic creative life until his very last days. The poet died, as Herzen said, “in the prime of his life, without finishing his songs, without finishing what he could have said.” The last hours of life... (Sviridov's waltz sounds quietly). Listen to what they were like for the poet.

Student 1: (slide 9) The news of the duel quickly spread throughout St. Petersburg. Hundreds of people were rushing to the house on the Moika. There were only no court nobility. Zhukovsky, in a letter to Pushkin’s father, reported on the last hours of the poet’s life: “Having sent Dahl to encourage his wife with hope, Pushkin himself had none. One day he asked, “What time is it?” And in response to Dalya’s answer, he continued in an intermittent voice: “How long... should I... suffer like this? Please hurry!” Pushkin’s last words: “Life is over...”

Student 2: the poet died. In the “St. Petersburg” of 1837, a message was made: “Yesterday, January 29, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin died.” The poet's grave is located in the Svyatogorsk Monastery, not far from Mikhailovsky. In honor of the great poet, twice a year - on the day of his birth and his death - the bells of the Svyatogorsk Church ring (slide 10).

Be proud, centuries-old Russia,

You gave Pushkin to the world.

Grieve and cry, suffering,

Why didn't you save it...

Teacher: Years and centuries have passed since the birth and death of Pushkin, but Pushkin still teaches us to believe in people, to seize the beautiful moments of life, to end all disputes and to see the beauty in life, he unites us, people of different nationalities.

D\Z: Write an essay “My Pushkin”

The latest and most indicative for the political life of Novokuznetsk and the region was the news related to the request of a simple worker Anton Vladimirovich Leonov to name the today unnamed passage between Aviator and Zvezdova streets in Novoilinka after the governor Aman Tuleyev, who laid down his life for the prosperity of a common man in the region.

He left his proposal, written with virtually no spelling or punctuation errors and reflecting the aspirations of all workers, in the virtual reception room of the City Head. It was immediately picked up by the media and conveyed to other indignant ordinary people: how is it that a man has been hunching over for the good of Novokuznetsk for 16 years, and only trams, garbage trucks and buses adorn his name.

For example, an entire square in Leninsk-Kuznetsky has already been named after Deputy Governor Mazikin, the author of the initiative laments. At the same time, he also understands the insignificance of implementing a request that does not correspond to the image and deeds of the leader: “I agree,” writes the author, “the figure of Aman Gumirovich deserves much more than a small passage in the Novoiliinsky district. But this could be a start.”

However, the message of the appeal to the mayor of Novokuznetsk Sergei Kuznetsov, elected popularly and by an absolute majority, was the results of the vote that took place on September 8. Anton Vladimirovich Leonov (unless, of course, this is a real figure, and not born in the quiet of the offices of the much more imaginary team of marketers of the governor himself - which, like the very results of free expression of will, raises doubts) on behalf of the kneeling people begins his appeal: “Past the elections once again showed how much people trust and how important the opinion of Governor Aman Tuleyev is in Kuzbass and Novokuznetsk. People from his team won in almost the entire region. Those he trusts and supports." Well, you already know the rest. The imposition of fundamentally alien eastern social relations on the inhabitants of the region - Caucasians - continues.

Meanwhile, politicians continue to evaluate the elections held in the regions. Following A Just Russia and the LDPR, she voiced her attitude towards political life in Kuzbass at a meeting of the State Duma and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Deputy Nikolai Kolomeytsev, speaking on behalf of the party, also demanded “a complete recount of votes in the Rostov and Kemerovo regions. There were essentially no elections there.”

In our region, as you remember, the regional election commission wisely, in order to avoid unnecessary scandals, decided not to spend money on electronic ballot boxes and video surveillance, because where else could elections be more transparent and honest, if not in Kuzbass, where the governor is the very personification of honesty and impartiality . It was more difficult in Rostov. “KOIB stands nearby - 17 percent, in the neighboring area - 80 or 90. Well, at least you are friends with your head,” Nikolai Kolomeytsev is indignant at the organization of open lawlessness of the party in power. A party that, as if not noticing its own mockery of common sense, hints: “Well, we tried to make the elections fair, so what? You still lost." And after that they claim respect, for monuments in our cities, as if speaking through the same Leonov: “Listen, people, you have your own wedding, we have ours”?!

Communist Kolomeytsev, addressing his colleagues in the State Duma, demands tougher responsibility for violating the process of free expression of the will of citizens. “In many countries,” he notes, “this is called a seizure of power and 20 years without the right to correspondence on the dark side of prison.” In the meantime, an ordinary member of the election commission is afraid not of prison, but of some deputy head, in our country it will always be like this, as in this video.
