One of the greatest Russian writers of the 19th century, Ivan Aleksandrovich Goncharov, is the author of well-known novels: "An Ordinary History", "Oblomov" and "Break".

Especially popular Goncharov's novel Oblomov... Although it was published over a hundred years ago (in 1859), it is still read with great interest today as a vivid artistic depiction of musty landlord life. It captures a typical literary image of enormous impressive power - the image of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov.

The remarkable Russian critic N. A. Dobrolyubov, in his article "What is Oblomovism?"

Oblomov's character

The main Oblomov's character traits- weakness of will, passive, indifferent attitude to the surrounding reality, a tendency to a purely contemplative life, carelessness and laziness. The common name "Oblomov" came into use to refer to an extremely inactive, phlegmatic and passive person.

Oblomov's favorite pastime is lying in bed. “Lying down for Ilya Ilyich was neither a necessity, like a sick person or a person who wants to sleep, nor an accident, like someone who is tired, nor pleasure, like a lazy person — this was his normal state. When he was at home - and he was almost always at home - he was still lying, and everything was always in the same room. " Oblomov's office was dominated by neglect and negligence. If not for the plate lying on the table uncleared from the evening dinner with a salt shaker and with a gnawed bone and a pipe not leaning against the bed or the owner himself lying in bed, "One would think that no one lives here - everything was so dusty, faded and generally deprived of living traces of human presence."

Oblomov is too lazy to get up, too lazy to get dressed, too lazy to even concentrate his thoughts on something.

Living a sluggish, contemplative life, Ilya Ilyich is not averse to dreaming sometimes, but his dreams are fruitless and irresponsible. So he, a motionless lump, dreams of becoming a famous commander, like Napoleon, or a great artist, or a writer, before whom everyone bows down. These dreams did not lead to anything - they are just one of the manifestations of idle passing of time.

The state of apathy is also typical of Oblomov's character. He is afraid of life, tries to isolate himself from life's impressions. He says with effort and entreaty: "Life touches." At the same time, Oblomov is deeply inherent in lordship. Once his servant Zakhar hinted that "others lead a different life." Oblomov answered this reproach as follows:

“Another works tirelessly, runs, fusses ... If he doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat like that ... But I? .. But do I rush about, do I work? .. Eat little, or what? .. Am I missing something? It seems there is someone to give, to do: I have never pulled a stocking on my legs, as I live, thank God! Am I going to worry? What am I from? "

Why Oblomov became “Oblomov”. Childhood in Oblomovka

Oblomov was not born such a worthless bum as he is presented in the novel. All his negative character traits are the product of depressing living conditions and upbringing in childhood.

In the chapter "Oblomov's Dream" Goncharov shows why Oblomov became "Oblomov"... But how active, inquisitive and inquisitive little Ilyusha Oblomov was and how these features were extinguished in the ugly surroundings of Oblomovka:

“A child looks and observes with a sharp and perceptive gaze how and what adults do, what they devote the morning to. Not a single trifle, not a single feature escapes the inquisitive attention of a child, a picture of home life cuts into the soul indelibly, a soft mind is saturated with living examples and unconsciously draws a program of his life according to the life that surrounds him. "

But how monotonous and boring are the pictures of household life in Oblomovka! The whole life consisted in the fact that people ate many times a day, slept to the point of stupidity, and in their free time from eating and sleeping, they wandered around.

Ilyusha is a lively, agile child, he wants to run, watch, but his natural childish inquisitiveness is hindered.

“- Let's go, mom, for a walk,” says Ilyusha.
- What are you, God bless you! Now go for a walk, - she replies, - it's damp, you'll catch a cold; and scary: now the goblin walks in the forest, he takes away small children ... "

Ilya was protected from labor in every possible way, created a lordly state in the child, taught him to be inactive. “Whether Ilya Ilyich wants anything, he has only to blink - already three or four servants rush to fulfill his desire; whether he drops something, does he need to get a thing, but does not get it, - whether to bring something, or why run away; sometimes he, like a playful boy, just wants to rush and redo everything himself, and then suddenly his father and mother and three aunts in five voices and shout:

"Why? Where to? And Vaska, and Vanka, and Zakharka for what? Hey! Vaska! Roly! Zakharka! What are you looking at, razini? Here I am! .. "

And Ilya Ilyich will never be able to do something for himself. "

Parents looked at Ilya's education only as an inevitable evil. They did not awaken respect for knowledge, not the need for it, in the child's heart, but rather disgust, and in every possible way tried to "facilitate" this difficult task for the boy; Under various pretexts, Ilya was not sent to the teacher: either under the pretext of ill health, then in view of someone's upcoming birthday, and even in those cases when they were going to bake pancakes.

The years of his studies at the university passed without a trace for the mental and moral development of Oblomov; nothing came of this man who was not accustomed to work with the service; Neither his smart and energetic friend Stolz, nor his beloved girl Olga, who set out to return Oblomov to an active life, did not have a deep influence on him.

Parting with his friend, Stolz said: "Goodbye, old Oblomovka, you have outlived your age."... These words refer to tsarist pre-reform Russia, but even under the conditions of the new life, there are still a lot of sources that nourished Oblomovism.

Oblomov today, in the modern world

No today, in the modern world Oblomovka, no and oblomovyh in the sharply expressed and extreme form in which it is shown by Goncharov. But with all this, from time to time we encounter manifestations of Oblomovism as a relic of the past. Their roots must be sought, first of all, in the wrong conditions of the family upbringing of some children, whose parents, usually without realizing it, contribute to the appearance of Oblomov moods and Oblomov behavior in their children.

And in the modern world there are families where love for children is manifested in providing them with such amenities, in which children, as far as possible, are freed from work. Some children reveal the traits of Oblomov's weakness only in relation to certain types of activity: to mental or, on the contrary, to physical labor. Meanwhile, without a combination of mental work with physical development, development is one-sided. This one-sidedness can lead to general lethargy and apathy.

Oblomovism is a sharp expression of weak character. To prevent it, it is necessary to educate in children those strong-willed character traits that exclude passivity and apathy. First of all, one of these features is purposefulness. A person with a strong character has the traits of volitional activity: decisiveness, courage, initiative. Especially important for a strong character is perseverance, manifested in overcoming obstacles, in the struggle with difficulties. Strong characters are formed in the struggle. Oblomov was freed from all efforts, life in his eyes was divided into two halves: “one consisted of labor and boredom - these were his synonyms; the other is from peace and peaceful fun. " Unaccustomed to labor effort, children, like Oblomov, tend to identify work with boredom and seek peace and peaceful fun.

It is useful to re-read the wonderful novel "Oblomov", so that, imbued with a feeling of disgust for Oblomovism and its roots, carefully monitor whether there are any remnants of it in the modern world - even if not in a harsh, but sometimes, disguised form, and take all measures to overcome these remnants.

Based on the materials of the magazine "Family and School", 1963

The central character of the novel by I. A. Goncharov "Oblomov" is Ilya Ilyich Oblomov - the master of "thirty-two years of age." The work is dedicated to the disclosure of his life philosophy, way of existence, his psychology.
The main character traits of Oblomov are apathy, laziness, inactivity. He lies on the couch all day, taking no interest in anything. But this state of affairs does not bother the hero at all: in this existence he is satisfied with everything: “Lying down for Ilya Ilyich was neither a necessity ... nor an accident ...: this was his normal state”. On the contrary, Oblomov's discomfort is caused by annoying "touches of life."
However, this hero also has his own dreams. In the chapter "Oblomov's Dream" the author outlines them to us quite clearly. We see that native Oblomovka brought up in Ilya Ilyich a love of home comfort, silence, peace: "Happy people lived thinking that it should not and could not be otherwise."


r /> This person needed love, care, warmth and affection. Let's remember his dreams of his family life. Oblomov dreamed of a wife-mother, a wife-mistress, and not of a passionate mistress: “Yes, passion must be limited, strangled and drowned in marriage ...” He imagined a very warm pastime - in a peaceful circle of family and loving friends. There would be conversations about art, about events taking place in the world, etc.
It is the need for such a life - where everyone loves each other, is happy with each other and with themselves - that is, it seems to me, Oblomov's ideal in life. It was for this that Olga Ilyinskaya called the hero a "heart of gold", because he knew how not only to take love, but also to generously give it, share it.
Of course, Oblomovka cultivated not only this in her Ilya. She brought up in him a fear of life, and indecision, and laziness, and helplessness, and snobbery. And, besides, she formed a completely distorted idea of ​​adult life.
All this - both positive and negative - manifested itself in the hero's life later. We know that in his youth Oblomov, supported by Stolz, dreamed of improving himself, changing himself and the world around him. However, if Stolz began to realize his dreams in life, then Oblomov's words remained just words.
Arriving in St. Petersburg, the hero gradually became disillusioned with the service ("When to live?"), Withdrew from all business and lay down on the sofa. Somehow imperceptibly Oblomov lost almost all of his acquaintances, because in order to maintain communication, you need to make some effort. And this was completely unbearable for the hero.
Only once Ilya Ilyich revived and began to change - having fallen in love with Olga Ilyinskaya.
r /> Then the hero was ready to do whatever his beloved wanted. Ilya Ilyich really began to change - he forced himself to be interested in the life around him, to move more, to eat less. But in this story, Oblomov's uncertainty, his fear of change, played its tragic role. At one fine moment he felt that he was not worthy of Olga, and wrote the girl a letter with explanations: “Listen, without any hints, I’ll tell you bluntly and simply: you don’t love me and you cannot love me.”
After that, Oblomov's life went on as usual - he continued to lie in seclusion, communicating only with Zakhar and occasionally with Stolz.

Composition Oblomov's character traits reasoning

Goncharov's novel Oblomov was written in the middle of the nineteenth century and accurately described a prominent representative of the noble society, who has a consumer attitude towards life and the people around him, cannot find application for his knowledge and abilities. This is the fruit of upbringing, accustomed from generation to generation to use slave labor, to live at the expense of another person.

The main character of the novel is named Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. He repeats not only the name of his father, but also his habits and lifestyle. Oblomov's life test was his studies at the boarding school. He studied well, but was more happy when his parents, having come up with dozens of reasons, left him at home. After graduating from a boarding house, and then in Moscow, Ilya Ilyich enters the service. But even there he cannot hold out for more than two years. He is bored and not interested in doing any work.


He justifies his passivity by the fact that he has big plans for the future. Lying on the couch, he ponders a plan for rebuilding the estate. But the matter does not go further than dreams. And even his friend Andrei Stolz cannot stir him up. Leaving abroad on business, Andrei introduces Oblomov to Olga Ilyinskaya. But this acquaintance only for a short time revived Oblomov's life. Kind and honest by nature, Ilya Ilyich suddenly realizes that he cannot make Olga happy, that their views on life are very different.

He wants a calm measured life, without difficulties and shocks, to be surrounded by kind and loving people. Such a life could be provided for him by the owner of the house where he rented an apartment - Pshenitsyn's widow. Over time, she became his wife, the mother of his son, was a nurse for him, a guardian angel. Even Stolz, having arrived to Oblomov, realized that he could not change a friend's life.

After Oblomov's death, Stolz told a writer about his fate. He wanted readers to appreciate his pure soul and constant struggle with himself and the life around him.

  2. Conclusion

Introduction

Goncharov's novel Oblomov was written during the period of transition of Russian society from outdated, house-building traditions and values ​​to new, enlightening views and ideas. This process became the most difficult and difficult for the representatives of the landlord social class, since it required an almost complete rejection of the usual way of life and was associated with the need to adapt to new, more dynamic and rapidly changing conditions. And if a part of society easily adapted to the renewed circumstances, for others the process of transition turned out to be very difficult, since it was essentially opposed to the usual way of life of their parents, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is the representative of just such landowners who have not been able to change along with the world, adjusting to it. According to the plot of the work, the hero was born in a village far from the capital of Russia - Oblomovka, where he received a classic landowner, house-building upbringing, which formed many of Oblomov's main character traits - weakness, apathy, lack of initiative, laziness, unwillingness to work and the expectation that someone would do everything for him.
Excessive parental care, constant prohibitions, the pacifying and lazy atmosphere of Oblomovka led to a deformation of the character of a curious and active boy, making him introverted, prone to escapism and unable to overcome even the smallest difficulties.

The contradictory character of Oblomov in the novel "Oblomov"

The negative side of Oblomov's character

In the novel, Ilya Ilyich does not solve anything on his own, hoping for help from the outside - Zakhara, who will bring him food or clothes, Stolz, who can solve problems in Oblomovka, Tarantiev, who, although he will deceive, will figure out the situation that Oblomov is interested in, etc. The hero is not interested in real life, it causes him boredom and fatigue, while he finds true peace and satisfaction in the world of illusions invented by him. Spending all the days lying on the couch, Oblomov makes unrealizable plans for arranging Oblomovka and his happy family life, much like the calm, monotonous atmosphere of his childhood. All his dreams are directed to the past, even the future that he draws for himself - echoes of the distant past, which is no longer possible to return.

It would seem that a lazy, lazy, lazy hero living in an uncleaned apartment cannot arouse sympathy and favor with the reader, especially against the background of Ilya Ilyich's active, active, purposeful friend - Stolz. However, the true essence of Oblomov is revealed gradually, which allows you to see all the versatility and inner unrealized potential of the hero. Even as a child, surrounded by quiet nature, care and control of parents, subtly feeling, dreamy Ilya was deprived of the most important thing - knowledge of the world through its opposites - beauty and ugliness, victories and defeats, the need to do something and the joy of what he acquired through his own labor.
From an early age, the hero had everything he needed - helpful courtyards, at the first call, carried out orders, and parents pampered their son in every possible way. Finding himself outside the parental nest, Oblomov, not ready for the real world, continues to expect that everyone around will treat him as warmly and welcomingly as in his native Oblomovka. However, his hopes were shattered already in the first days in the service, where no one cared about him, and everyone was only for himself. Deprived of the will to live, the ability to fight for his place under the sun and perseverance, Oblomov, after an accidental mistake, leaves the service himself, fearing the punishment of his superiors. The first failure becomes the last for the hero - he no longer wants to move forward, hiding from the real, "cruel" world in his dreams.

The positive side of Oblomov's character

The person who could get Oblomov out of this passive state, leading to the degradation of the personality, was Andrei Ivanovich Stolts. Perhaps Stolz appears in the novel as the only character who thoroughly saw not only the negative, but also the positive features of Oblomov: sincerity, kindness, the ability to feel and understand the problems of another person, inner calmness and simplicity. It was to Ilya Ilyich that Stolz came in difficult moments when he needed support and understanding. Oblomov's dovish tenderness, sensuality and sincerity are revealed during a relationship with Olga. Ilya Ilyich is the first to realize that he is not suitable for the active, purposeful Ilyinsky, who does not want to devote herself to "Oblomov" values ​​- this betrays him as a subtle psychologist. Oblomov is ready to give up his own love, as he understands that he cannot give Olga the happiness she dreams of.

The character and fate of Oblomov are closely related - his lack of will, his inability to fight for his happiness, together with spiritual kindness and gentleness, lead to tragic consequences - fear of difficulties and griefs of reality, as well as the complete departure of the hero into a pacifying, calm, wonderful world of illusions.

National character in the novel "Oblomov"

The image of Oblomov in Goncharov's novel is a reflection of the national Russian character, its ambiguity and versatility. Ilya Ilyich is the same archetypal Emelya the fool on the stove, about which the nanny told the hero in childhood. Like the character of a fairy tale, Oblomov believes in a miracle that should happen to him by itself: a benevolent firebird or a kind sorceress will appear, who will take him to the wonderful world of honey and milk rivers. And the chosen one of the sorceress should not be a bright, hard-working, active hero, but necessarily "quiet, harmless", "some kind of lazy person whom everyone offends."

An unquestioning belief in a miracle, in a fairy tale, in the possibility of the impossible is the main feature not only of Ilya Ilyich, but also of any Russian person raised on folk tales and legends. Falling on fertile soil, this faith becomes the basis of a person's life, replacing reality with an illusion, as happened with Ilya Ilyich: “his fairy tale is mixed with life, and he sometimes unconsciously sad, why is a fairy tale not life, but life is not a fairy tale”.

In the finale of the novel, Oblomov, it would seem, acquires that "Oblomov" happiness that he had long dreamed of - a calm, monotonous life without stress, a caring kind wife, an arranged life and a son. However, Ilya Ilyich does not return to the real world, he remains in his illusions, which become more important and significant for him than real happiness next to a woman who adores him. In fairy tales, the hero must withstand three tests, after which he will be expected to fulfill all desires, otherwise the hero will die. Ilya Ilyich does not pass a single test, first giving in to failure in the service, and then to the need to change for Olga's sake. Describing Oblomov's life, the author seems to be ironic about the hero's excessive faith in an impossible miracle, for which one does not need to fight.

Conclusion

At the same time, the simplicity and complexity of Oblomov's character, the ambiguity of the character himself, the analysis of his positive and negative sides, allow us to see in Ilya Ilyich an eternal image of an unrealized personality “not of his time” - “an extra person” who could not find his own place in real life, and therefore left into a world of illusion. However, the reason for this, as Goncharov emphasizes, is not a fatal coincidence or the plight of the hero, but the wrong education of Oblomov, sensitive and soft in character. Growing up as a "houseplant", Ilya Ilyich turned out to be unadapted to reality, which was harsh enough for his refined nature, replacing it with the world of his own dreams.

Positive and negative traits of Oblomov's character, his inconsistency in Goncharov's novel | a source

Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, the protagonist of the novel by I. A. Goncharov, is a collective image of Russian landowners. It presents all the vices of the noble society of the times of serfdom: not just laziness and idleness, but taking it for granted.
Ilya Ilyich whole days

He spends in inaction: he does not even have a civil service, does not go to the theater, does not go to visit. It would seem that a person who lives such a useless life can only be called a negative hero. But even at the beginning of the novel, Goncharov makes us understand that this is not so: Oblomov mentions Andrei Stolz, his childhood friend, who more than once rescued Ilya Ilyich and settled his affairs. If Oblomov did not represent anything of himself as a person, then with such a lifestyle he would hardly have retained such a close friendship with Stolz.
What made the German take care of Oblomov and try to “save” him from “Oblomovism” even after so many years of vain attempts? The first part of the novel, the scene of Oblomov's meeting with “friends”, will help to understand this. All of them continue to visit Ilya Ilyich, but each for his own needs. They come, talk about their life, and leave without listening to the owner of the hospitable house; so Volkov leaves, Sudbinsky also leaves. Leaves the writer Penkin, who tried to advertise his article, which undoubtedly caused success in society, but did not interest Oblomov at all. Alekseev leaves; he seems to be a grateful listener, but a listener without his own opinion; a listener who cares not about Oblomov himself, not the speaker's personality, but his presence. Tarantiev also leaves - he generally came to benefit from the kindness of Ilya Ilyich.
But at the same time, one can notice one feature of Oblomov - he not only receives guests, but also notices their shortcomings. A life of inaction made Oblomov reasonable and calm; he looks at everything from the outside and notices all the vices of his generation, which young people usually take for granted. Oblomov sees no point in haste, he does not care about ranks and money; he knows how to reason and realistically assess the situation. Ilya Ilyich did not have a passion for reading, therefore he did not know how to argue beautifully and intelligently about politics or literature, but at the same time he subtly noticed the real state of affairs in society. Lying on the sofa became not only Oblomov's vice, but also his salvation from the “rottenness” of society - having renounced the bustle of the world around him, Ilya Ilyich reached in his reflections the true values.
But, alas, no matter how Oblomov reasoned about how to live, no matter how he reproached himself for lying on the couch, he still could not push himself to take any action, and Oblomov's ideas remained inside him. Therefore, Ilya Ilyich cannot be called a positive hero, just as one cannot be called a negative one.
Stolz, in contrast to Oblomov, is a man of action. He thinks narrowly and cynically, not allowing himself free thoughts and dreams. Stolz clearly thinks through the plan, assesses his capabilities, and only then makes a decision and follows it. But he cannot be called a positive or negative hero. Both Stolz and Oblomov are two different types of people, a driving and thinking force, who are able to support humanity only together. I believe that the essence of the Oblomov novel is not to eradicate Oblomovism, but to channel its strengths into acting hands. During serfdom, "Oblomovism" was strong: the inaction and laziness of the landowners, leaving work to the peasants and knowing only fun in life. But now, I think, the big problem is the “Stoltsy”, people who are active, but not able to think as deeply as Oblomov.
In society, both the Oblomovs, who are able to make the right decisions, and the Stolts, who implement these decisions, are important. And only with an equal presence of both those and others is it possible to improve society.

Characteristics of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov very ambiguous. Goncharov made it complex and mysterious. Oblomov separates himself from the outside world, fenced off from it. Even his dwellings bear little resemblance to inhabited ones.

From early childhood, he saw a similar example from his relatives, who also fenced off from the outside world and protected him. It was not customary to work in his home. When he, as a child, played snowballs with peasant children, he was then warmed up for several days. In Oblomovka, they were wary of everything new - even a letter that came from a neighbor, in which he asked for a beer recipe, was afraid to open it for three days.

But Ilya Ilyich recalls his childhood with joy. He worships the nature of Oblomovka, although this is an ordinary village, nothing particularly remarkable. He was raised by a rustic nature. This nature instilled in him poetry and love of beauty.

Ilya Ilyich does nothing, only complains about something all the time and engages in verbiage. He is lazy, does nothing himself and does not expect anything from others. He accepts life as it is and does not try to change anything in it.

When people come to him and tell him about their lives, he feels that in the hectic life they forget that they are wasting their lives in vain ... And he does not need to fuss, act, he does not need to prove anything to anyone. Ilya Ilyich just lives and enjoys life.

It is difficult to imagine him in motion, he looks funny. At rest, lying on the sofa, it is natural. Looks at ease - this is his element, his nature.

Let's summarize what we have read:

  1. Ilya Oblomov's appearance. Ilya Ilyich is a young man of 33 years old, good-looking, medium height, overweight. The softness of the expression on his face betrayed him as a weak-willed and lazy person.
  2. Family status. At the beginning of the novel, Oblomov is not married, he lives with his servant Zakhar. At the end of the novel he marries and is happily married.
  3. Description of the dwelling. Ilya lives in St. Petersburg in an apartment on Gorokhovaya Street. The apartment is neglected, the servant Zakhar rarely sneaks into it, who is as lazy as the owner. In the apartment, a special place is occupied by the sofa, on which Oblomov lies around the clock.
  4. Behavior, actions of the hero. Ilya Ilyich can hardly be called an active person. Only his friend Stolz manages to get Oblomov out of his slumber. The main character lies on the couch and only dreams that he will soon get up from him and get down to business. He cannot even solve pressing problems. His estate has fallen into disrepair and does not bring money, so Oblomov has nothing to pay for the apartment with.
  5. The attitude of the author to the hero. Goncharov sympathizes with Oblomov, he considers him a kind, sincere person. At the same time, he sympathizes with him: it is a pity that a young, capable, not stupid person has lost all interest in life.
  6. My attitude to Ilya Oblomov. In my opinion, he is too lazy and weak-willed, therefore he cannot command respect. In places he just pisses me off, I want to come up and shake him. I don't like people who live their lives so mediocre. Perhaps I react so sharply to this hero because I feel the same flaws in myself.

Oblomov's character

Roman I.A. Goncharov's "Oblomov" was published in 1859. It took almost 10 years to create it. It is one of the most prominent novels in classical literature of our time. This is how famous literary critics of that era spoke of the novel. Goncharov was able to convey realistically, objectively and reliable facts of the reality of the layers of the social environment of the historical period. Presumably, his most successful achievement was the creation of the image of Oblomov.

He was a young man of 32-33 years old, of average height, with a pleasant face and intelligent eyes, but without any definite depth of meaning. As the author noted, the thought walked over the face as a free bird, fluttered in the eyes, dropped to half-open lips, hid in the folds of the forehead, then completely disappeared and a careless young man appeared in front of us. Sometimes on his face one could read boredom or fatigue, but still there was a softness of character and the warmth of his soul in him. All his life Oblomov is accompanied by three attributes of bourgeois well-being - a sofa, a robe and shoes. At home Oblomov wore an oriental soft roomy robe. He spent all his free time lying down. Laziness was an integral part of his character. The house was cleaned superficially, creating the appearance of cobwebs hanging in the corners, although at first glance one might think that a well-tidied room. There were two more rooms in the house, but he did not go there at all. If an uncleaned dinner plate with crumbs were everywhere, a half-smoked pipe, one would think that the apartment was empty, no one lived in it. He was always amazed at his energetic friends. How can you waste your life, being scattered over dozens of cases at once. His financial condition wished to be the best. Lying on the sofa, Ilya Ilyich always thought of how to correct him.

Oblomov's image is a complex, contradictory, even tragic hero. His character predetermines an ordinary, not interesting fate, devoid of the energy of life, its bright events. Goncharov draws his main attention to the prevailing system of that era, which influenced his hero. This influence was expressed in the empty and meaningless existence of Oblomov. Helpless attempts to revive under the influence of Olga, Stolz, marriage to Pshenitsyna, and death itself are defined in the novel as Oblomovism.

The very character of the hero, as conceived by the writer, is much larger and deeper. Oblomov's dream is the key to the whole novel. The hero moves to another era, to other people. A lot of light, joyful childhood, gardens, sunny rivers, but first you have to go through obstacles, an endless sea with raging waves and groans. Behind him are rocks with abysses, a crimson sky with a red glow. After the exciting landscape, we find ourselves in a small corner where people live happily, where they want to be born and die, it cannot be otherwise, they think so. Goncharov describes these inhabitants: “Everything in the village is quiet and sleepy: the silent huts are wide open; not a soul is visible; some flies fly in clouds and buzz in the stuffy atmosphere. " There we meet young Oblomov. As a child, Oblomov could not get dressed himself, he was always helped by servants. As an adult, he also uses their help. Ilya grows up in an atmosphere of love, peace and excessive care. Oblomovka is a corner where calmness and imperturbable silence reign. This is a dream within a dream. Everything around seemed to stand still, and nothing could wake up these people who uselessly live in a distant village without any connection with the rest of the world. Ilyusha grew up on fairy tales and legends that his nanny told him. Developing dreaminess, the fairy tale tied Ilya more to the house, causing inaction.

Oblomov's dream describes the hero's childhood, his upbringing. All this helps to find out the character of Oblomov. The Oblomovs' life is passivity and apathy. Childhood is his ideal. There, in Oblomovka, Ilyusha felt warm, reliable and very protected. This ideal and doomed him to aimless further existence.

The clue to the character of Ilya Ilyich in his childhood, from where straight threads stretch to the adult hero. The character of the hero is an objective result of the conditions of birth and upbringing.
