Interesting names of literary heroes. Literary heroines that inspire us
Recently, BBC showed a series of "war and peace" Tolstoy. In the West, everything like us - there, too, the release of cinema (body) adaptation sharply increases interest in literary source. And here the masterpiece of Lev Nikolayevich suddenly entered the name of bestsellers, and with him the readers became interested in all Russian literature. On this wave, the popular literary site Literary Hub published the article "10 Russian literary heroines, who need to know" (The 10 Russian Literary Heroines You Should Know). It seemed to me that this is a curious side view on our classics and translated an article for his blog. I post here. Illustrations taken from the original article.
Attention! There are spoilers in the text.
_______________________________________________________
We know that all happy heroines are happy equally, and every unfortunate is unhappy in his own way. But the fact is that there are few happy characters in Russian literature. Russian heroines tend to complicate their lives. So it must be, because their beauty as literary characters is largely coming from their ability to suffer from their tragic fate, from their "rusticity".
The most important thing to understand the Russians female characters: Their fate is not the history of overcoming obstacles in order to achieve "and they lived for a long time and happily." The keeper of the original Russian values, they know that there is something more in life than happiness.
1. Tatyana Larina (A.S. Pushkin "Evgeny Onegin")
At the beginning was Tatiana. This is a kind of Eva Russian literature. And not only because it is chronologically the first, but also because Pushkin occupies a special place in Russian hearts. Almost any Russian is capable of reading the poems of the father of Russian literature (and after several piles of vodka, many will do it). Pushkin's masterpiece, the poem "Eugene Onegin", this story is not only Onegin, but also Tatiana, a young innocent girl from the province, who falls in love with the main character. Unlike Onegin, which is shown by cynical bonvivan, spoiled fashionable European values, Tatiana embodies the essence and purity of the mysterious Russian soul. Including a tendency to self-sacrifice and disregard for happiness, which shows its famous refusal of the person she loves.
2. Anna Karenina (L.N. Tolstoy "Anna Karenina")
Unlike Pushkinskaya Tatiana, who is not a temptation to fall with Onegin, Anna Tolstoy throws her husband and son to run with Vronsky. As a real dramatic heroine, Anna voluntarily does not right choice, the choice for which it will have to pay. The sin of Anna and the source of her tragic fate is not that she left the child, but in the fact that it is selfishly hidden with his sexual and romantic desires, she forgot the lesson of the dedication of Tatiana. If you see the light at the end of the tunnel, do not share, it can be a train.
3. Sonya Marmaladova (F.M. Dostoevsky "Crime and Punishment")
In the "crime and punishment" of Dostoevsky Sonya acts as an antipode of Skolnikov. Slut and Holy at the same time, Sonya takes its existence as a path of martyrdom. Having learned about the crime of Raskolnikov, she does not push him, on the contrary, attracts to himself to save his soul. It is characteristic of the famous scene, when they read the biblical history about the resurrection of Lazarus. Sonya is able to forgive Skolnikova, as it believes that everything is equal before God, and God forgives. For a repentant killer, this is a real find.
4. Natalia Rostov (L.N. Tolstoy "War and Peace")
Natalia is a dream of everyone: smart, funny, sincere. But if Pushkinskaya Tatyana is too good to be true, Natalia seems alive, real. Partly because Tolstoy supplemented its image and other qualities: it is capricious, naive, coquetty and, for the lavetles of the beginning of the 19th century, a little sucking. In the "war and the world", Natalia begins as a charming teenager, enjoying joy and vitality. Throughout the novel, it becomes older, knows the lessons of life, tightened his changeful heart, becomes more wise, its character acquires integrity. And this woman, which is generally uncharacteristic for Russian heroines, after a thousand with excess pages still smiles.
5. Irina Prozorova (A.P. Chekhov "Three sisters")
At the beginning of the Plays of Chekhov "Three Sisters" Irina is the youngest and most complete hopes. Her older brother and sisters of Plaxiva and Caprican, they are tired of life in the province, and the naive soul of irin is filled with optimism. She dreams of returning to Moscow, where, in her opinion, find his true love And it will be happy. But, as the chance to move to Moscow evaporates, it is increasingly aware that it is stuck in the village and loses his spark. Through Irina and her sisters, Chekhov shows us that life is just a series of dull moments, only occasionally intermitted by short flashes of joy. Like Irina, we spend our time on trivia, dreaming about the best future, but gradually understand the insignificance of our existence.
6. Lisa Kalitina (I.S. Turgenev "Noble Nest")
In the novel " Noble Nest"Turgenev created a sample of Russian heroine. Lisa is young, naive, clean with heart. It bursts between two workers: a young, beautiful, fun officer and old, sad, married man. Guess who she chose? The choice of Lisa says a lot about the mysterious Russian soul. She clearly comes towards suffering. The choice of Lisa shows that the desire for sorrow and melancholy is no worse than any other option. At the end of the story, Lisa is disappointed in love and goes into the monastery, choosing the path of victims and deprivation. "Happiness is not for me," she explains his act. "Even when I was hoping for happiness, it was always hard on my heart."
7. Margarita (M. Bulgakov "Master and Margarita")
Chronologically latter in the list, Bulgakovskaya Margarita, an extremely strange heroine. At the beginning of the novel, this is an unfortunate woman in marriage, then she becomes a mistress and the Museum of the Master, to then contact the witch flying on a broom. For Master Margarita, this is not only a source of inspiration. She becomes Sonya for Skolnikov, his healer, beloved, Savior. When the Master finds himself in trouble, Margarita appeals for help to anyone else, like Satan himself. Enclosing, like a Foust, a contract with the devil, she is still reunited with his beloved, albeit not quite in this world.
8. Olga Semenova (A.P. Chekhov "Dreshek")
In the "dullness" of Chekhov tells the story of Olga Semenovova, loving and gentle soul, simple manwhich is said to live with love. Olga becomes widow early. Twice. When there is no one who can be like to love, it closes in the cat. In the reviews on the "dullness", Tolstoy wrote that intending to ridiculously a nearby woman, Chekhov accidentally created a very relaxing character to himself. Tolstoy went even further, he condemned Chekhov for an unnecessarily sharp attitude towards Olga, urging to judge her soul, and not intelligence. According to Tolstoy, Olga embodies the ability of Russian women to love unconditionally, unknown to men.
9. Anna Sergeyevna Odintova (I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Children")
In the novel "Fathers and Children" (often incorrectly translate "fathers and sons") Mrs. Odentyova - a lonely woman of mature age, and the sound of her surname in Russian hints on solitude. Odentyova is an atypical heroine, who has become a kind of pioneer among women's literary characters. Unlike other women, the novels, which follow the obligations imposed on them by society, Mrs. Odenty is childless, she has no mother and her husband (she is a widow). She persistently defends his independence, like Pushkin Tatiana, refusing the only chance to gain real love.
10. Nastasya Filippovna (F.M. Dostoevsky "Idiot")
Heroine "Idiot" Nastasya Filippovna gives an idea of \u200b\u200bhow difficult Dostoevsky is. Beauty makes her victim. Wostering in childhood, Nastasya becomes the content and mistress of an elderly person who picked up it. But every time she is trying to break out of the testicles of his position and build his own destiny, she continues to feel humiliated. The feeling of guilt throws the fatal shadow on all its solutions. According to tradition, like many other Russian heroines, Nastasi has several options for fate associated mainly with men. And in full compliance with the tradition, it is not able to make the right choice. Communicating fate instead of fighting, heroine drifts to his tragic end.
_____________________________________________________
The author of this text is a writer and a diplomatic worker Guillermo Erades. For some time he worked in Russia, he knows Russian wells well, is the fan of Chekhov and the author of the book "Back to Moscow" (Back to Moscow). So this look is not quite an extraneous. On the other hand, how to write about Russian literary heroines, not knowing Russian classics?
Hilvero does not explain his choice of characters. In my opinion, surprisingly the lack of princess Mary or " poor Lisa"(Which, by the way, the early Pushkin Tatiana was written) and Katerina Kabanova (from the" thunderstorm "of dislike). It seems to me that these Russian literary characters are more famous for us than Lisa Kalitina or Olga Semenova. However, this is my subjective opinion. And who would you add to this list?
In the world literature, many images of female heroines have developed, which fought in the soul of the reader, loved, they began to quote.Some works of world literature will be shielded and the audience believes that the picture is successful if the plot of booksfully disclosed in the film, and the actors correspond to the loved literary hero.
A very important woman is given a very important and outstanding role in the literature: it is the subject of admiration,the source of inspiration that was lined with a dream and the personification of the most elevated in the world.
Undoubtedly, beautiful women of world literature are different fate: someone is an eternal ideal like Juliet,someone is a fighter and just a beautiful woman, like Scarlett about Hare, and someone is forgotten.For how much heroine literary work linger in the memory of the cheat, directly connected with its appearance,character and actions. Literary heroine, as in life, must be self-sufficient, pretty,patient, purposeful, with a sense of humor and, of course, wise.
Our site site decided to make up Rating of the most beautiful literary heroines. In some photos, famous actresses or models that were not filmed in the roles of the presented literary heroines, but our view is very suitable for these roles. Descriptions of the appearance of the heroine taken from the books of the authors of world literature of England, France, Australia, America, Turkey and Russia. The books who loved us are not yet shielded,but we sincerely believe that this time will not wait a long time.

The gods gave Irene dark brown eyes and golden hair - a kind of combination of shades that attracts men's eyes and, as they say, testifies to the weakness of character.

9. Rose Del Valle
Roman Character Isabel Allende "House of Spirits", Sister of the Main Heroine Clara. The first beauty of magical realism.
"Her striking beauty caused confusion even in the mother; It seemed that it was created from some other material other than human nature. Niveya knew that the girl did not belong to this world, even before Rosa was born, because she saw her in her dreams. Therefore, she did not surprise the opening of the midwife when she looked around the girl. Rose was white, smooth, without wrinkles, like a porcelain doll, with green hair and yellow eyes. The most beautiful being, ever born on Earth since the times of original sin, as an obstetric exclaimed, hiding. At the first ablution, the Nyanyushka slipped the girl's hair with Nasty Manzanili, who had a property to soften the color of the hair, giving them a shade of old bronze, and then began to endure her in the sun to harden the transparent skin. These tricks turned out to be in vain: very soon there was a rumor that an angel was born in the family Del Valle. Niveya was waiting for, while the girl would grow, any imperfections will open, but nothing like this happened. By eighteen years, Rosa did not drink, acne did not spoke on the face, and her grace, given not otherwise as a marine element, became more beautiful. The color of her skin with a light bluish tint, the color of the hair, the slowness of movements, silence was given a resident of the water in it.

Do not talk, from where ?;))) On this heroine, we look at Romeo in love with her, and this is a wonderful feeling ...

To this, you need to add one more thing - you can say with confidence that many women are whatever , I would give to exchange your life on the life of Margarita Nikolaevna. The childless thirty-year-old Margarita was a very large specialist in the same way the most important discovery State value. "
6. Tatyana Larina
What about without it? Smart, beautiful, modest, feminine ... \u003d)) Everything is in it.
"So, she called Tatiana.
Neither the beauty of his sister,
Neither the freshness of her ruddy
She did not attract any eyes.
Dick, sad, silent,
Like lan forest fearless
She in the family of his native
It seemed like a small girl. "
5. Esmeralda
Gypsy from Roman Hugo, which still captivates our hearts with their beauty and dancing.
"She was low in growth, but it seemed high - so built her thin camp. She was smoothed, but it was not difficult to guess that in the afternoon her skin appeared a wonderful golden shade inherent in Andaluscs and Romans. The little leg was also a leg of Andalus, "she went so easily in her narrow elegant shoe. The girl danced, flushed, spinning at her casually thrown under her legs with the old Persian carpet, and whenever her shining face arose in front of you, her view of her big black eyes blinded you like a zipper. The faces of the crowd were chained to her, all the mouths are crushed. She danced under the roking of the tambourine, which her rounded virgin hands were highly ended over her head. Thin, fragile, with naked shoulders and occasionally flashed from under the skirt with slender legs, black-haired, fast, as an Osa, in a goldist, tightly embarrassed her waist in the pastry, in a motley swollen dress, shining eyes, she seemed to be a truly unearthly ... "
4. Assol
I do not even know, maybe she was not beautiful, but for me Assol is a living embodiment of a dream. Isn't the dream of a dream?
"Behind the nut frame in a light emptiness of the reflected room was a thin low girl, dressed in a cheap white Muslin with pink flowers. On her shoulders lay a gray silk brazer. Sea-Pestician, in a bright tan, the face was moving and expressive; beautiful, somewhat serious for her age. The eyes looked with a timid focusing of deep shower. Her wrong face could touched with a fine cleanliness of the outlines; each bend, each bulge of this person, of course, would find a place in a lot of female appears, but their totality, style - was completely original, - Mil ; On this we will dwell. The rest is beyond the words, except for the word "charm". "
3. Scarlett O "Hara
In every woman there is something from Scarlett. But as the heroe of the literary work, it is unique. Such strong female image Could not repeat yet anyone.
"Scarlett O'Hara was not a beauty, but the men were unlikely to give themselves a report in this if they, like the twins of Tarltons, became victims of her Char. Very bizarre was combined in her face the sophisticated traits of the mother - the local aristocrat of French origin - and large, expressive features of the father - the breathtaking Irish healthy. Swirling, with an accurate chin face Scarlett involuntarily faced his eyes. Especially the eyes are slightly diagonal, light green, transparent, in the rim of dark eyelashes. On white, like petal of magnolia, forehead - ah, this white leather, which is so proud of the women of the American south, carefully guarding it with hats, veluts and mitnesses from the hot sun of Georgia! - Two immaculately clear lines of eyebrows rapidly sealed up - from the bridges to the temples. ".
2. Armen.
For me, Arwen is the embodiment of magical beauty. It combines all the best of people and magical creatures. She is harmony itself and light.
"Opposite Elrond, in a chair near the Baldakhin, sat beautiful, like a fairy, guest, but in the features of her face, feminine and gentle, repeated or, rather, a man-minded appearance of the owner of the house, and looked attentive, Frodo understood that she was not a guest , and Elrond's relative. Was she young? And yes, and not. Moraza seeds did not silver her hair, and her face had a juniorly fresh, as if she had just washed with dewy, and her light gray eyes were blued with a clean brilliance of predawn stars. , but they were trampled by the mature wisdom, which only life experience gives, only the experience of years lived on earth. In her low silver diadem, round pearls glowed softly, and on the side of gray, without decorations, the dresses stretched a slightly noticeable garland of leaf-embroidered silver leaves Thread. It was the daughter of Elrond, Arven, which was seen a few mortals - in her, as People's Molva said, the beauty of Luchieni returned to Earth, and the elves gave her the name Andomel; for them she was an evening star. "\\Sienna Gillory as Elena.
FavoritesThey are real heroes. Not just characters of books, namely the heroes: they fight evil. And even if they do not defeat, they are embodied by the ideas of the era about what is good and what is bad. The views on justice and good, the enemies take new bleits, but, despite all the conventions and the impermanence of the rules of the game, even our ironic era appear books about those who fight with injustice. Of course, yesterday's characters may look comical today. But the same thing can happen tomorrow and with the heroes of our time.
1. Ilya Muromets
The epics about Ilya Muromster
Heroilee Muromets, son of Ivan Timofeevich and Efrosiny Yakovlevna, the peasants of the village of Karachair, under Murom. The most popular character of the epics, the second in force (after the Siberian Federal District), the Russian Bogatyr and the first domestic superman.

What is the essence. Until 33 years old Ilya lay, broken by paralysis, on the furnace in parental Houseuntil it was miraculously healed by wanderers ("Kalikov overlooking"). Having gained strength, he has equipped his father's economy and went to Kiev, along the way, taking captain of the terrorizing neighborhood of the nightingale-robber. In Kiev, Ilya Muromets joined the squad of Prince Vladimir and found the hero of the Siberiana, who handed him a sword-Clapiest and mystical " real force" In this episode, he demonstrated not only physical power, but also high moral qualities, without responding to the flirting of the wife's wife. Later, Ilya Muromets broke "the greatness of the Great" under Chernigov, dismissed the direct road from Chernigov to Kiev, inspected the roads from Alatyr-stone, tested the young hero of Dobryna Nikitich, saved the hero of Mikhail Pota from captivity in the Saratiqing kingdom, won idolis, together with his buddy won To Tsargrad, one broke the Calina-king's army.
Ilya Muromstsu was not alien and simple human joy: In one of the episodes of the episodes, he walks through Kiev with the "Glands of Kabataki", and his sibling Sokolnik was born out of marriage, which later leads to a fight between his father and son.
What looks like. Superman. The epics describe Ilya Muromets as "Delivent Dorodic Good Well done," he fights the Palcers "in Ninety Pood" (1440 kilograms)!
For what fights. Ilya Muromets and his squad extremely clearly formulate the purpose of his service:
"... stand up one for faith for the Fatherland,
... stand up one for Kiev-hail,
... stand up one behind the church for the cathedral,
... Be careful by the prince yes Vladimir. "
But Ilya Muromets is not only a historicist - he is at the same time one of the most democratic wrestlers with evil, as it is always ready to fight "for widows, for orphans, for poor people."
Way of struggle. Duel with an enemy or battle with superior enemy forces.
What result. Despite the difficulties caused by the numerical advantage of the enemy or dismissive attitude of Prince Vladimir and Boyar, invariably wins.
Against what fights. Against the internal and external enemies of Russia and their allies, violators of law and order, illegal migrants, invaders and aggressors.

With an inherent temperament, Avvakum led a fierce struggle against Nikon, speaking for the old order of church rite. Avvakum, not at all embarrassed in expressions, led public and journalistic activities, for which he repeatedly went to prison, was cursed and deprived of Sana, referred to Tobolsk, Transbaikalia, mezzan and empty. From the spot of the last link continued to write appeals, for which it was sharpened in the "Earth pit." Had many followers. Church hierarchs tried to persuade Avvakum to abandon the "delusions", but he remained adamant and eventually burned.
What looks like. One can only guess: Avvakum did not describe themselves. Maybe, as the priest looks like on the painting of Surikov "Boyaryn Morozova" - Theodosius of Prokopyevna Morozova was the faithful convergence of Avvakum.
For what fights. For purity orthodox faith, for the preservation of tradition.
Way of struggle. Word and business. Avvakum wrote inductal pamphlets, but he could pursue the screamers to break into the village and break their musical instruments. Considered self-immolation of the form of possible resistance.
What result. The passionate preaching of Avvakum against the church reform did the resistance to it by mass, but he himself was executed in 1682 in 1782 in 1782.

He loved simple life Kozakov and rebuilded with those from their comrades who were inclined to the Warsaw side, calling them by the Hops of Polish Panov. Always restless, he considered himself a legitimate defender of Orthodoxy. Self-important was part of the village, where they complained about the oppression of tenants and for the increase of new duties with smoke.

There, in Moscow, Ivan Grozny, I was found (or rather, invented) the bogatyr with the names of the name of Kalashnikov. A young Ochrichnik Kiribayevich falls in love with his wife and attacks her at night, persuading surrender. The next day, an offended husband raises an ryrichnik on a fist fight and kills him with one blow.

Yes, and the first (he is the last) blow, this face of Eastern Nationality causes the merchant, but in orthodox cross With my relics from Kiev, what hangs on the youth breast. Alena, Dmitrievna, he says: "I'm not a thief of what, the ruin of the forest, / I was a king's servant, the king of Grozny ..." - that is, hides the highest grace. So that heroic deed Kalashnikova is nothing but a deliberate murder on the basis of national retail.

It turns out that the "man scattered from the street of the pool" from the poem Samuel Marshak existed in fact! They were the famous Chudak, Academician Ivan Heel, who was famous for its impracticality and scattered. For example, instead of the words "Chemistry and Physics", the professor often spoke to students "Chemist and physiya". And instead of the phrase "the flask burst, and a piece of glass got into the eyes." He could have turned out: "The lopa scum, and a piece of eyes got into the glass." The expression "Mendelshutkin" meant "Mendeleev and Menshutkin", and the usual words of Ivan Alekseevich were "not at all" and "I, that is, not me."
The professor read the poem, and once he recalled Brother Marshak, writer Ilyin, shook his finger: "Your brother, of course, methyl in me!" In the draft Marshak there is such an option of the beginning of the poem, in which the hero was directly named after the name and surname of the prototype:
In Leningrad lives
Ivan heel.
He calls himself
Ivanov heel.

The man walked around several dozen doctors who were pucked by his bunch of medicines from headaches. And Thomas Bolt clinched for the fact that the patient did not tolerate egg yolk. He once again carefully studied the tests and realized that the patient had been suffering from poisoning with heavy metals for 40 years. After treatment, a man forgot what migraine is. And this is not a single case - talent and erudition allow the cake to be taken for the most difficult cases. He is even called a "medical detective."
Howe's creators were inspired by cases of cruise practices and several eccentric behavior. He himself from the series is not delighted: "Yes, there is some similarity between us, but I don't like the film. I am categorically opposed to go on heads like a house to make a diagnosis. " But by the way, after that, the doctor's career had gone to the mountain, and now he is the official doctor of the MTV office.
