The first doubts are that military glory is exactly what should be served: true heroes remain in the shadows.
3) Battle of Austerlitz:
a) dreams of glory on the eve of the battle: “I want glory, I want to be famous people I want to be loved by them”;
b) the feat of Bolkonsky;
c) the sky of Austerlitz - the collapse of Bolkonsky's former dreams: former aspirations for glory, for human love are vain and therefore insignificant. Something else a person should look for in life. But what?
III. Landowner - misanthrope Prince Andrei Bolkonsky

In the regiment he was called OUR PRINCE, they were proud of him, they loved him”).
5) At the dressing station. Meeting with Anatole Kuragin: there is no former hatred, "enthusiastic pity and love for this man filled his happy heart." What's this? Or, as he himself thinks, that patient love for people, which his sister taught, was revealed to him!
6) Wounded book. Andrei in the train of the Rostovs. The state of mind of the prince, his reconciliation with Natasha. The last moral struggle between life and death. (“That enthusiastic love for people, which he understood after being wounded, was replaced by indifference to them: to love everyone ... meant not to love anyone, it meant not to live this earthly life”).
“Ah, Marie, Marie, he is too good, he cannot, cannot live, because…”
Acquaintance with Prince Andrei takes place in the Scherer salon: “At this time, a new face entered the living room. The new face was the young Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, the husband of the little princess. Prince Andrei was short, a very handsome young man with definite and dry features. Everything in his figure, from the tired, bored look to the quiet measured step, represented the sharpest contrast with his little lively wife. He, apparently, was not only familiar with everyone in the drawing-room, but he was already so tired of looking at them and listening to them that he was very bored. Of all the faces that bored him, the face of his pretty wife seemed to bore him the most. With a grimace that spoiled his handsome face, he turned away from her.
Further, we learn from his conversation with Pierre that he is disappointed in his marriage, as he has lost the freedom that he needs to achieve his goal; in society, saying that drawing rooms, gossip, balls, vanity, insignificance - this is that vicious circle from which he cannot get out; in women, saying that they are selfish, vain, stupid and insignificant in everything. Andrey Bolkonsky therefore changes his life - he enters the service of the headquarters of the commander in chief. He dreams of conquering "his Toulon". But in reality, it turned out that things in the army did not look the way Andrei imagined. He is disappointed. The prince evaluates everything that happens in a new way. During Austerlitz, he is badly wounded. Lying on the ground, not noticing anything except the endless sky, which made an indelible impression on him, he understands that Napoleon is the same person as everyone else. “How could I not have seen this lofty sky before? And how happy I am that I finally got to know him. Yes! everything is empty, everything is a lie, except for this endless sky. The prince no longer believes that the outcome of a battle can depend on the actions of one person, on plans and dispositions. Andrei Bolkonsky understands for the first time the simple truth of life: a person's love for home, family, nature.
Therefore, he returns to his family, but there a new shock awaits him - the death of his wife Liza. This only sharpens the question that has arisen before him more than once: what is the meaning of existence? At first, he focuses all his attention on raising his son. It seems to him that a person should live only for himself, and a son, sister, father are a continuation of himself, and Prince Andrei is temporarily immersed in a narrow and closed home world.
But his active nature requires the application of strength, and he begins to take care of the household: an estate of three hundred souls was listed by him as free cultivators (this was one of the first examples in Russia), that is, the peasants were freed from serfdom, in other estates he replaced corvee dues. In Bogucharovo, a grandmother was discharged to help women in childbirth, and the priest was paid a salary for teaching peasant and courtyard children to read and write.
This is perhaps the first hero in Russian literature, so full of consciousness of the importance and responsibility of his intentions, deeds and aspirations, longing for large-scale, universally significant acts. Hence his rejection of secular society, dead, inauthentic, fettered by ceremonies and rituals. He is looking for a sphere of activity that would carry the solution of the problems of his personal existence and the most important national problems. This forces him to write a note on the restructuring of the army, which he witnessed the defeat of at Austerlitz, to take part in the development of new laws under the leadership of Speransky. Prince Andrei is already ready to put all his will, energy, and brilliant mind into the work of legislative reforms. But pretty soon he felt a deep separation of the reformist and bureaucratic activities of Speransky from the living demands and needs of the people. So, while working on the section "Rights of Persons", he tried to mentally apply these rights to the Bogucharov peasants, and "it became surprising to him how he could do such idle work for so long."
Finally, Prince Andrei is freed from his illusions and is disappointed in Speransky, seeing him at home, where the artificiality of behavior, the vacuity and deadness of his empty conversations, which concerned "if not the service world itself, then service persons," were especially clearly revealed.
The path of the moral and spiritual formation of Prince Andrei is complex and thorny. The story of Borodin is loss, unfulfilled hopes, the rejection of his ideals and beliefs. Disappointment in the activities of Speransky is no less powerful than the realization of the imaginary greatness of the universal idol - Napoleon.
Love for Natasha will also turn out to be a deceit, as if opening the possibility of happiness and harmonious existence to Prince Andrei. And it is no coincidence that in none of the sketches for the novel, nor in its original versions, Tolstoy connects the fates of Prince Andrei and Natasha. This would be contrary to the artistic idea of the novel. Only after everything experienced will peace and love come to him.
The war of 1812 finds Prince Andrei at the moment of the highest spiritual crisis, but it is the nationwide misfortune that has befallen Russia that brings him out of this state. Participation in the Patriotic War of 1812 was for Prince Andrei the true form of being, to which he walked for such a long and difficult time. This war opens before Prince Andrei the opportunity to enter the element of public life. For the first time he realizes the influence of the mass of soldiers on military operations, the outcome of which is decided by their spirit, their behavior and mood.
And he becomes closer to the soldiers, that is, to the people. Forever abandoning the career of a courtier, not wanting to be a staff officer, he goes to the regiment, where, according to his current concepts, only one can benefit his homeland. From now on, with all his behavior, he proves that although the desire for glory encourages feat, the true example of courage in battle is more often the behavior of warriors, which outwardly does not look heroic at all. A real feat is one that is accomplished without thinking about one's own glory, about oneself, but in the name of "others", simply, modestly, sacrificially, like the feat of Captain Tushin.
Yes, he had to survive the invasion of Napoleon, the death of his father, be mortally wounded, see the bleeding Anatole Kuragin, who had just been taken off his leg, Prince Andrei “remembered everything, and enthusiastic pity and love for this man filled his happy heart. Prince Andrei could no longer hold back and wept tender, loving tears over people, over himself and over their and his own delusions.
It is this new feeling that has opened up to him that makes him finally understand his guilt before Natasha and feel the full force of not only his own love for her, but also her love for him, her suffering.
Seriously wounded, lying in Mytishchi in peasant hut, “he vividly imagined Natasha not in the way he had imagined her before, with one of her charms, joyful for himself; but for the first time imagined her soul. And he understood her feelings, her suffering, shame, remorse. He now for the first time understood the cruelty of his refusal, saw the cruelty of his break with her.
And just like the old prince, dying in a house where the enemy is about to enter, in the face of trouble and death for the first time says tender words to his daughter: “Thank you ... daughter, friend ... for everything, for everything ... sorry ... thank you ... sorry ... Thanks!. . - And tears flowed from his eyes ... ”, in the same way, Prince Andrei, in a moment of spiritual supreme tension, realizing that his life ends when Natasha comes to him at night in Mytishchi, says to her such words that he could never have said before: "I love you more, better than before..."
The path of the ideological and moral quest of Andrei Bolkonsky. Performed by students of the 10th "D" class MOBU "Secondary School No. 73" of Orenburg Mezentseva Natalia, Palatova Xenia, Mamedova Shabnam, Lavrenchuk Julia. Teacher: Pukhalskaya L.V.
Andrei Bolkonsky. AT the art world Tolstoy there are heroes who persistently and purposefully seek the meaning of life, striving for complete harmony with the world. They are not interested in secular intrigues, selfish interests, empty talk in high-society salons. They are easily recognizable among haughty, self-satisfied faces. These, of course, include one of the most striking images of "War and Peace" - Andrei Bolkonsky. True, the first acquaintance with this hero does not cause much sympathy, because his handsome face "with definite and dry features" spoils the expression of boredom and discontent. 3
Prince Andrei Son of N. A. Bolkonsky, brother of Princess Marya. "... Small in stature, a very handsome young man with definite and dry features." This is a smart, proud person who is looking for great intellectual and spiritual content in life. The sister notes in him some kind of “pride of thought”. He is reserved, educated, practical and has a strong will.
I. First Acquaintance We first meet Prince Andrei in the salon of Anna Pavlovna Scherer. Prince Andrei sharply stands out from the high society environment with his education, breadth of interests. He feels the vulgarity, the illusiveness of the people of his circle. This gives rise to a thirst for real life and great achievements. He sees the possibility of their implementation in military service. To Pierre, he explains his decision by the desire to escape from the sphere of the secular and family life. But there are other, secret reasons that Andrei does not tell anyone about: “he dreams of accomplishing a feat, dreams of fame like Napoleon’s, dreams of his Toulon.” Of course, these dreams have nothing to do with the careerist plans of Berg or Drubetskoy. “After all, what is glory? - says Prince Andrew. “The same love for others, the desire to do something for them, the desire for their praise.”
II. spiritual crisis. Leaving for the war To achieve his goal, he appears in the most dangerous places of the battle. The unimaginable feat was not achieved. The harsh military events contributed to the fact that Prince Andrei was disappointed in his dreams. On the battlefield during the battle of Austerlitz (1805), he saw fierce battles of embittered and frightened people seeking to destroy a friend, felt the false patriotism of staff officers.
II. spiritual crisis. Leaving for the war Before the battle of Austerlitz, dreams are ready to become reality. Andrei feels that his hour is approaching, and that hour is coming. Raising the fallen banner, Bolkonsky stops the Russian soldiers who have taken flight, and drags them along to attack. Soon he falls, wounded in the head. By the time he woke up, the fight had already died down. Lying on his back, Andrei sees the blue sky. This sky, exciting, turning the soul, opens the way for him to a new life, becomes a symbol of a high understanding of life: "How could I not see this high sky before? And how happy I am that I finally recognized it. Yes! Everything is empty, everything is a lie, except this endless sky". At these moments, a new world opens before him, where there are no selfish thoughts, lies, but only the purest, highest, fair. The prince realized that there is something more significant in life than war and glory. Now the former idol (Napoleon) seems to him petty and insignificant.
1. Trying to break out of the vicious circle secular life, Prince Andrei dreams of personal glory in a military feat. 2-4. Participation in the Battle of Shengraben (1805), unfair assessment of the feat of Captain Tushin's battery by the highest military authorities, the feat of Prince Andrei himself on the field of Austerlitz and a serious wound - all this leads him to disappointment in his dreams of glory.
III. Return after being wounded It is not known how Bolkonsky's life would have turned out with his wife. But, when, “having risen from the dead,” he returned home kinder and gentler, a new blow fell upon him - the death of his wife, before whom he could not make amends. After that, Andrey goes to Bogucharovo.
Andrey Bolkonsky's occupations: - construction; - raising a son with his father and Princess Mary; - service for the collection of the militia under the command of the father. The discovery of the wealth of a peaceful life - without ambitious plans, in the family, at home, among loved ones. Happiness comes (incomplete - remorse in front of a wife who died in childbirth). Prince Andrey turns out to be attentive, gentle and touching in communication with his father, sister, son Nikolenka. In his soul, the natural needs of love and kindness lurk. But active, active by nature, Prince Andrei lives in a closed world. Therefore he suffers. “Extinct, dead look”, in a smile “concentration and death”. ten
IV. Gradual awakening from a moral crisis But Andrey's active nature, of course, could not be limited to this, he cannot live in such a narrow world: the search for the meaning of life as a hero begins again, the search for a new business useful to others. Andrey's meeting with Pierre on the ferry turns out to be fateful. Bezukhov's words: "We must live, we must love, we must believe" - show Andrei the path to happiness. He realized that life was far from over for him. He again sees an opportunity to be useful (this time in public administration), to be happy, to love. "We must live in such a way that everyone knows me, so that my life goes on not only for me ... so that it is reflected on everyone and that they all live with me together!"
4-7. He is trying to find the meaning of life - in civic activity (work in the Speransky commission), but a conversation with Arakcheev and his own observations convince him that there is no high civic goal in this field either.
V. Ball "I've been waiting for you for a long time," this frightened and happy girl seemed to say ... raising her hand on Prince Andrei's shoulder. A certain role in the spiritual quest was played by Andrei Bolkonsky's love for Natasha Rostova. “Now life opened before him, all life with all its joys. It seems to him that in love he found true happiness. To live, helping and sympathizing with people, to merge your life with their life - this is the new ideal that has awakened in Andrei's soul.
Anatole Kuragin But this happiness turned out to be short-lived. Suddenly, Anatole Kuragin stands in his way. Proud and proud Andrei is unable to forgive Natasha for her mistake. Prince Andrei is once again disappointed...
VI. Prince Andrei during the War of 1812 The most significant milestone in the life of Prince Andrei was the events of 1812, when the defense of the homeland from the enemy became the highest goal. Dreams of personal glory no longer excite him. Only on the Borodino field does he understand that the meaning of life is in unity with the people, in the struggle for the freedom and happiness of the Motherland. To live, helping and sympathizing with people - this is his new ideal. Prince Andrei meets a wounded man whose leg has just been cut off. In it he recognizes Anatole. He remembered everything that had happened between him and Kuragin, and enthusiastic pity and love for this man filled his happy heart. The love that God preached on earth, which Princess Mary taught him, was now accessible to his understanding.
11-12. Only on the Borodino field, he finally understands that the meaning of life is in unity with the people, in the struggle for the freedom and happiness of the Motherland.
VII. The last moments of the life and death of Andrei Bolkonsky It is symbolic that at the moment of a mortal wound, Andrei feels a great craving for a simple earthly life, but immediately thinks about why it is so sad to part with it. This struggle between earthly passions and an ideal coldish love for people is especially aggravated before his death. Having met Natasha and forgiving her, he feels a surge of vitality, but this quivering and warm feeling is replaced by some kind of unearthly detachment, which is incompatible with life and means death. Thus, having revealed in Andrei Bolkonsky many remarkable features of a patriotic nobleman, Tolstoy cuts off his path of search by heroic death for the sake of saving the fatherland. And to continue this search for higher spiritual values, which remained unattainable for Andrey, is destined in the novel to his friend and like-minded Pierre Bezukhov.
During his illness, he relentlessly thought about life and death. His spiritual path continued, he was looking for the last truth that would reconcile him with death. Tolstoy conveyed the thoughts that his hero came to shortly before his death. These are thoughts about love, about God, about eternity. They are very important, they are comforting for Prince Andrei. Prince Andrey's new and final knowledge is special knowledge and is not expressed in words. But it is manifested by immediate reality by the actions of the hero's life by the way he leaves this world. The death of Prince Andrei convinces those close to him present that he has learned the truth. But not everyone who was next to him, but only those closest to him, whose love for him allowed them to penetrate the essence of what was happening: Natasha and Princess Mary.
12 - 15. There is reason to believe that if the author had left his hero alive, then he would have been one of those who in 1825 would have gone to the Senate Square in St. Petersburg.
Stages of Andrei Bolkonsky's spiritual quest a) Orientation to the ideas of Napoleon, a brilliant commander, superpersonality b) Wound near Austerlitz, a crisis in consciousness. c) The death of his wife and the birth of a child, the decision to "live for yourself and your loved ones." d) Meeting with Pierre, conversation at the crossing, transformation in the estate. e) Meeting with Natasha in Otradnoye. f) Communication with Speransky, love for Natasha, awareness of the meaninglessness of "state" activities. g) Break with Natasha, spiritual crisis. h) Borodino. The final change in consciousness, rapprochement with the people. i) Before his death, Bolkonsky accepts God, a feeling of universal love, harmony with life.
Results: Happiness Bolkonsky Andrey all his life he was looking for happiness, but not earthly, but “proud, perfect”; And Natasha, and Princess Mary, and Pierre - everyone remembered him after his death, and each remembered him with some kind of deep philosophical sense but all is well. And most importantly, he became an idol, a deity for Nikolenka's son. Therefore, no matter what they say, Prince Andrei died happy. The fate of Andrei Bolkonsky The fate of Andrei Bolkonsky is the path of a person who makes mistakes and is able to atone for his guilt, striving for moral perfection. Attachment to the feeling eternal love revived the strength of spirit in Prince Andrei, and he accomplished the most difficult, according to Tolstoy, deed - he died calmly and with dignity. Andrei Bolkonsky went from ambitious egoism and pride to self-denial. His life is the evolution of the pride of the human mind, resisting the unconscious kindness and love that make up the meaning of human life. Death interrupted his moral search, but at the end of his life Andrei realized that the meaning of life is in serving the Fatherland and people.
Results: The fate of Andrei Bolkonsky (continued) The image of Prince Andrei is one of the most interesting, without him the novel would not have happened. If Bolkonsky had not died, then the "road of honor" would inevitably have led him to Senate Square on December 14, 1825. The poems of the poet A. Gorodnitsky speak of the fate of the Decembrists, as the fate of Prince Andrei Bolkonsky himself, if he had survived: The candle is ending, ending. The night twilight is long. Your friends are swinging in a noose At the Peter and Paul Wall. Your friends in the stage dust Wander, dejectedly bending over. How timely they killed you, Prince!
"Moral quest Andrei Bolkonsky (based on the novel by L. N. Tolstoy "War and Peace")"
If you carefully follow how the fate of the main characters of Leo Tolstoy's novel "War and Peace" developed, then we can say with confidence: each of them experienced a significant evolution of their views on life. One example is the absolute change in the outlook of Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. We first meet him at the reception of Anna Pavlovna Sherer. There, all the conversations in one way or another revolve around the personality of Napoleon Bonaparte. Moreover, members of the circle talk about Napoleon as if he is a frequent visitor to the salon of Anna Pavlovna Scherer: they tell various funny stories about him and present him as a well-known, even close, person. Andrei Bolkonsky has a completely different perception of Napoleon's personality, so salon conversations irritate him insanely. For him, Napoleon is an exceptional personality. Prince Andrei is afraid of his genius, which may "turn out to be stronger than all the courage of the Russian troops," and at the same time is afraid of "shame for his hero." With all his being, Bolkonsky rushes in pursuit of the ideal associated with the victorious career of Napoleon. As soon as Prince Andrei learns that the Russian army is in distress, he decides that it is he who is destined to save her and that “here it is, that Toulon that will lead him out of the ranks of unknown officers and open the first path to glory for him” . However, fate decreed otherwise. She gave him the opportunity to see his idol, but at the same time showed the insignificance of his search for earthly glory. Looking at the high Austerlitz sky, the wounded Prince Andrei says to himself: “Yes, I didn’t know anything, I didn’t know anything until now.” And when Napoleon approaches him - Napoleon Bonaparte himself, his recent idol - who, mistaking him for the murdered man, utters a pompous phrase: “Here is a beautiful death!” For Bolkonsky, this praise is like the buzzing of a fly. Napoleon seems to him small and insignificant in comparison with what was revealed to his mind at that moment. Overcoming the "Napoleonic" ideal is one of the stages in the evolution of the personality of Andrei Bolkonsky. However, when a person loses old ideals and does not acquire new ones, an emptiness forms in his soul. So, after overthrowing Napoleon from the pedestal and abandoning his former dreams of glory, Prince Andrei began a painful search for the meaning of life. He frightens Pierre Bezukhov with his gloomy thoughts caused precisely by the absence of this meaning.Prince Andrey no longer wants to serve in the army: "After Austerlitz! .. No, I humbly thank you, I promised myself that I would not serve in the active Russian army." He does not approve of Pierre's ideas about the emancipation of the peasants, believing that this will not benefit them. Having ceased to live for glory, Prince Andrei tries to live for himself. But such a philosophy only fills his soul with confusion. The mood of Prince Andrei is keenly felt at the moment when, on the way to Otradnoye, he sees a huge old oak tree. This oak "did not want to submit to the charm of spring and did not want to see either spring or the sun." Bolkonsky, as it were, tries to attribute to the oak the thoughts that overcome him: “Spring, love and happiness! .. And how do you not get tired of the same stupid, senseless deception!” This moment seems to be the highest, critical point of Prince Andrei's mental torment. But fate again surprises him - a small episode that radically changes his whole life. This is the first meeting with Natasha Rostova in Otradnoe. Not even so much a meeting as just an overheard conversation between her and her friend, a light touch on her inner world . This contributed to the fact that "in his soul suddenly rose ... an unexpected confusion of young thoughts and hopes that contradicted his whole life." Returning home the next day, Prince Andrei again saw the oak tree, which had made such a gloomy impression on him the day before. Bolkonsky did not immediately recognize him: “The old oak tree, all transformed, spread out in a tent of juicy, dark greenery, was thrilled, slightly swaying in the rays of the evening sun.” At that moment, Prince Andrei realized that life was not over, and it was necessary to make sure that it flowed not for him alone, but was reflected in everyone. He had an urgent need to take an active part in life. This was followed by the fascination of Prince Andrei with the personality of Speransky. He met Speransky at the moment when the latter's fame reached its zenith. It was a kind of "twin" of Napoleon - not only in terms of the strength of the impression, but even in appearance and character traits. However, the memory of Austerlitz did not allow Prince Andrei to create another idol for himself, despite all the admiration that Speransky aroused in him. Thus, Prince Andrei finally overcame the influence of Napoleon's personality. When the war of 1812 began, Bolkonsky seemed to have forgotten that he no longer wanted to serve in the Russian army. He went to war, this time not in search of glory, but with the only desire to share the fate of his people. There was not even a shadow of the former arrogance left in him, he changed his attitude towards the peasants, and they paid him love and trust, calling him “our prince”. After the Battle of Borodino, the mortally wounded Prince Andrei ends up in the hospital and there he suddenly recognizes Anatole Kuragin in one of the wounded. In the plot of the novel, their meeting is no less important than Bolkonsky's meeting with Napoleon on the Field of Austerlitz, since these are links in the same chain - the spiritual renewal of the hero who comprehends the meaning of life. In the camping hospital, Anatole is cut with a crushed leg, and Bolkonsky at this time is tormented not so much by a physical wound as by a spiritual wound. The contrast arising from the juxtaposition of the bodily and the spiritual very accurately characterizes both Anatole and Prince Andrei. Anatole, in fact, is already dead as a person, and Bolkonsky retained his spirituality. He plunged into memories "from the world of children, pure and loving." At that moment, the experiences of a child and a dying person were combined in his mind. And in such a connection, Bolkonsky felt an ideal state of mind. It was a moment. But at that moment, by exerting physical and spiritual strength, the hero brought together everything best qualities of his nature. He remembered Natasha at the ball in 1810, since it was at that time, perhaps, for the first time that he felt in himself with unusual clarity the power of “natural” life. And now love for Natasha made him color everything around with this living feeling and forgive Anatole Kuragin. The dying Bolkonsky demonstrates the victory of the natural principle in him. Death for Prince Andrei in his new state is devoid of horror and tragedy, since the transition “there” is as natural as the arrival of a person from non-existence into the world. The scene in the hospital is followed by a description of the results of the Battle of Borodino. The triumph of the spirit of Prince Bolkonsky and the triumph of the spirit of the Russian people echo each other. “The thought of the people” is thus organically embodied in the image of Prince Andrei. It is no coincidence that Pierre compares Bolkonsky with Platon Karataev. Before his death, Prince Andrei comes precisely to the Karataev worldview. The only difference is that this understanding of life and death was not given to Prince Andrei by nature, but was the result of hard work of thought. However, Tolstoy is closer to those heroes for whom this philosophy is natural, that is, it lives in them by itself and they do not even think about it. Such, for example, is Natasha, who lives by the principle: “You live and live.” The internal unity of Bolkonsky and Karataev is emphasized by the characteristic coincidence of the attitudes of others towards the death of both. Pierre took the death of Karataev as a natural event, and Natasha and Princess Mary reacted to the death of Prince Andrei in the same way. An aristocrat, a nobleman, Prince Bolkonsky passed away in the same way as the peasant Platon Karataev. This was a huge moral victory for Prince Andrei, for objectively, according to Tolstoy, he approached the faith, the bearers of which were Platon Karataev and thousands, millions of Russian people. Pierre Bezukhov compares Bolkonsky and Karataev as two equally beloved people who "both lived and both died." This reasoning for Pierre is full of deep meaning. Bolkonsky and Karataev are the children of the great mother nature. Their life and death are a natural link in nature, which gave them life and into the bosom of which they, like thousands of their kind, had to return. which is completely inaccessible to Nikolai, although he is older and more experienced: “For Dolokhov, she almost quarreled with her brother. She insisted that he evil person that in a duel with Bezukhov, Pierre was right, and Dolokhov was to blame, that he was unpleasant and unnatural. Natasha does not know how to explain, to prove logically, because she understands people not with her mind, but with her heart. And her heart always tells her right. It is interesting that Natashg, unlike Sonya, does not at all seek to sacrifice herself to someone else, she does not even set herself the goal of helping people, making them happy.
She simply lives and with her sensitivity, understanding one way or another helps everyone around her. Natasha gives people the warmth of her soul, infects with that irrepressible thirst for life that overwhelms her. There are many examples of this. When Nikolai returned home after losing at cards, Natasha “instantly noticed the state of her brother ... but she herself was so cheerful at that moment ... that she ... deliberately deceived herself” and continued to sing. And yet, without knowing it herself, Natasha sang for her brother and thus helped him. Listening to her singing, Nikolai understood: “All this, and misfortune, and money, and Dolokhov, and malice, and honor - all this is nonsense ... but here it is real ...” Prince Andrei went to Count Rostov in Otradnoye “unhappy and preoccupied,” thinking that love and happiness are “stupid, senseless deceit.” The very thought of rebirth to a new life, love, activity was unpleasant to him. However, when he saw a “strangely thin”, black-eyed girl running away from his carriage with a cheerful laugh, he was hurt that this girl “did not know and did not want to know about his existence.” Natasha’s nighttime conversation with Sonya, accidentally overheard by Prince Andrei, had such an effect on him that “an unexpected confusion of young thoughts and hopes suddenly arose in his soul, contradicting his whole life.” Only Natasha could evoke such feelings in people, only she could make them dream of “flying into the sky,” as she herself dreamed. Princess Mary is different. Growing up in the countryside, brought up by a stern and sometimes cruel father, she did not know the joys of life that Natasha fully enjoyed. For the old Prince Bolkonsky, there were “only two virtues: activity and intelligence.” He considered order to be the main condition for activity, and this "order in his way of life was brought to the last degree of accuracy." Princess Mary did not have a mother to whom she could run at night to chat and kiss "on the darling", as Natasha did. There was a father, whom she, of course, loved, but was so afraid that even "red spots shimmered over her face." When you read about how she does mathematics with her father, the heart is filled with such pity for this girl that one wants to protect her from her tyrant father. It becomes clear why “the princess’s eyes were dimmed, she didn’t see anything, didn’t hear anything ... and only thought about how she could leave the office as soon as possible and understand the task in her own space.” She is corresponding with Julie Karagina, sincerely believing that this is her friend. There is nothing surprising in the fact that the smart, subtle Princess Marya believes in the friendship of the false and narrow-minded Julie. After all, she no longer has friends, and in part she invented a friend for herself. Their letters are similar only at first glance, but they are like day and night: Julie's artificial and far-fetched sufferings have nothing to do with Princess Mary's completely sincere, bright and pure thoughts. Deprived of all joy, lonely, locked in a village with a stupid Frenchwoman and a despotic, albeit loving father, Princess Mary tries to console the poor, suffering Julie. She herself finds solace only in religion. The faith of Princess Marya commands respect, because for her it is, first of all, demanding of herself. She is ready to forgive the weaknesses of everyone, but not herself. Tolstoy loves the princess and, apparently, therefore, is merciless towards her. He takes her through many trials, as if in order to check whether she can stand it, whether she will not lose her sincerity and spiritual purity. But Princess Mary, who seems so weak and defenseless, is in fact so strong in spirit that she can withstand all the hardships sent down to her by fate.
Ways of finding a place in life by Pierre Bezukhov
Tolstoy's books are a documentary presentation of all the searches that a strong personality undertook in order to find a place and a deed in the history of Russia. AM. Gorky's novel "War and Peace" is the brightest work that has become the greatest achievement of Russian literature.
L. N. Tolstoy captures and combines into a single whole the most important questions of the era: about the ways of development of Russia, about the fate of the people, about their role in history. We are shown outstanding personalities, great historical events, which in early XIX centuries deeply touched the souls of many millions of people, the entire Russian people and were the center of events in this period of time, which later went down in history. Tolstoy's favorite character is Pierre Bezukhov. The image of this hero was conceived and written as the image of the future Decembrist. Not being a supporter of the uprising against the tsarist autocracy, the author, however, has great sympathy for the noble revolutionaries. Like Bolkonsky, Pierre is an honest, noble, highly educated nobleman, a comprehensively developed and intelligent person. Bezukhov is a spontaneous nature, capable of keenly feeling, easily excited. He is characterized by reflections and doubts in search of the “meaning of life”. His path is complex and tortuous. Tolstoy is very close to the search for his hero, because for a long time he himself could not understand the meaning of life, often looking for him in vain and in vain. Pierre Bezukhov is “a massive, fat young man with a cropped head, wearing glasses ... This fat young man was the illegitimate son of the famous Catherine’s nobleman, Count Bezukhov, who was dying in Moscow. He has not served anywhere yet, he has just arrived from abroad, where he was brought up, and was for the first time in society.” This is how Leo Tolstoy described his hero. But despite the appearance of Pierre, Tolstoy endowed him with magnificent human qualities and character. True, Pierre, even in his early youth, only having arrived in St. Petersburg, does not understand people well. He takes hypocrisy and lies for truth, sympathizes with false suffering. And therefore only, faced with the cruelty of this society, he seeks salvation in religion. At this critical moment, Bezukhov falls into the hands of Bazdeev. This "preacher" deftly sets up before the gullible count the nets of a religious-mystical society that called for moral self-improvement of people and united them on the basis of brotherly love. Pierre understood Freemasonry as “the teaching of equality, brotherhood and love”, and this helps him direct his forces towards the improvement of the life of serfs. But this good-natured and open person cheat here too. Rich, wealthy peasants and the steward profit from the good of the Count. This means that being a “good landowner” and a “benefactor” under the conditions of the feudal system is a real utopia. Masonic activity does not satisfy Pierre, his economic "transformations" fail. We know that Patriotic War 1812, especially the Battle of Borodino, played a huge role in the life of Pierre Bezukhov. The events of 1812 bring the young count out of a state of spiritual emptiness and disappointment. Bezukhov participates in the preparation of the militia. But he again fails, as in the period of Freemasonry, because he takes up the matter too ardently, with a passionate desire to benefit the Motherland. His bold speech, addressed to the Moscow nobility, caused general discontent. However, overwhelmed by patriotic feelings, Pierre equips a thousand militia with his own money, and he himself remains in Moscow to kill Napoleon, or die, or stop the misfortune of the Motherland, which, according to Pierre, came from Napoleon alone. An important stage on the path of Pierre's searches is his visit to the Borodino field at the time of the famous battle. He understood here that history is created by the most powerful force in the world - the people. Bezukhov approvingly perceives the wise words of the unknown soldier: “They want to pile on all the people, one word - Moscow. They want to make one end.” The sight of “lively and sweaty” militia men, “with a loud talk and laughter” working on the field, “acted on Pierre more than anything that he had seen and heard so far about the solemnity and significance of this moment.” An even closer rapprochement between Count Bezukhov and ordinary people takes place in Moscow, in the barracks of prisoners of war. There he meets a soldier, a former peasant, Platon Karataev, who, according to the author, is a part of the masses. Pierre understood the meaning of life, which for him consisted in the fact that if life exists, then you can’t look for some only bad sides in it, but you need to see a lot of good things and take everything good from life. From Karataev, Pierre gains "peasant wisdom", in communication with the peasants "finds that calmness and contentment with himself, to which he vainly aspired before." If earlier Bezukhov closed himself in, now he is interested in the world around him, critically evaluates the "phenomena of life. Pierre has gained confidence and firmness of character, which he has been striving to find in himself all this time. Pierre Bezukhov belongs to that best part of Russian society that attracts forward along an unknown path to an amazing future and touches the hearts with a gentle fire of creative search. Pierre, as an advanced person of his time, is characterized by his personality: his desire for the best, his non-reconciliation with society, which often strangled and humiliated him. In addition to its historicity, the novel " War and Peace” is the intertwining of the destinies of many people. The main idea of this novel is universal unity. It is important, relevant, topical, imbued with patriotism and heroism of the Russian people.
