Moral problems of the story lilac bush presentation. Presentation on the topic "Lilac Bush" by A.I.

For the creativity of A.I. Kuprin is characterized by special attention to the concept of love. What is true love? What is it like? This same story is dedicated to one of the types of love - between husband and wife. Therefore, it seems to give the reader the opportunity to think about what kind of family relationships can be called deep, sincere, and on what they are built.

“The Lilac Bush” - a story by A.I. Kuprin, written in 1894 and published in October of the same year in the magazine “Life and Art”. It refers to the author's early prose. This writer's work is characterized by great thematic diversity and a humane, sensitive attitude towards the characters.

The work immediately caught the fancy of reviewers and ordinary readers. It can be said to have made a name for the author in the literary world. It is not surprising, since the writer began his creative career with a description of human virtues. Only then did he begin active journalistic activity, which led him to the social bottom. The plots of that period no longer delighted the public, but confused them.

Meaning of the name

Why did Kuprin title his story that way? The image of lilac appears more than once in Russian literature and, in particular, in prose. So, in “Spring Waters” I.S. Turgenev's lilac symbolizes emerging love and at the same time separation, just as in the novel by I.A. Goncharov’s “Oblomov” with a branch of lilac is associated with the beginning of the relationship between Oblomov and Olga, and the same image correlates with the separation.

In the story by A.I. Kuprin’s image of lilac is also associated with a love theme: it symbolizes true marital affection and love, sincere participation and mutual assistance, which is the main problem, the semantic center of the work. In addition, this bush means the beginning of spring, and in the context of the work it indicates that the spouses have not grown cold towards each other, on the contrary, a wonderful time has opened in their relationship, where mutual warmth enlivens everything around.

Genre and direction

Story by A.I. Kuprin's "Lilac Bush" refers to the method and direction of realism. Kuprin is one of the most famous representatives of this trend in Russian literature. His works are distinguished by very vivid and detailed descriptions of everyday life (daily conversations, events), filled with a feeling of the author-narrator’s living participation in them.

A story, as a rule, depicts one or several events in the life of a hero or heroes, one storyline stands out - these features are characteristic of the work “The Lilac Bush”, and therefore, we can define it as a story (the plot is built around how Vera and Nikolai Evgrafovich solve the problem of successfully passing the exam).

Composition

Compositionally, the work can be divided into three parts:

Nikolai Evrgafovich’s return from work and message to his wife about failure;
Verochka's energetic help to her husband - every effort to rectify the situation;
Happy ending - Vera meets Almazov again, and he tells her the good news of success.

This composition is called a mirror composition: both at the beginning and at the end of the story, Vera’s husband returns with news from work.

About what?

The story “The Lilac Bush” is about marital love. This theme is revealed in the relationship between Vera and Nikolai Evgrafovich. So, Verochka takes an active part in everything that happens in her husband’s life. She constantly supports him, denies herself everything, even the necessary, for the sake of his success. So, a woman pawns her jewelry to get money for a gardener who could plant bushes so that her husband can pass the exam. The fact is that he accidentally put a blot on the drawing, and instead of it, so as not to redo it, he drew a bush. The professor got angry and didn’t take the paper in because he knew the area by heart. But the heroine planted a lilac in that place, and the embarrassed teacher, seeing it, changed the grade. At the end of the story, the happy spouses laugh and share their joy and mutual love with each other. In this short episode, revealing the essence of the story “The Lilac Bush,” the writer showed a recipe for getting rid of life’s problems. Alone, a person has a hard time, he loses faith in himself, but in marriage he gains not only emotional attachment, but also a faithful ally in the person of his lover or beloved. The main thing is to learn to put common interests above personal ones.

The other side of the story is the theme of life values. For Verochka and her husband this is love, prosperity, mutual understanding. Professor Nikolai Evgrafovich, for example, is shown as a person who devoted himself all his life to his favorite work.

The main characters and their characteristics

Nikolai Evgrafovich Almazov- a young, poor officer who only entered the General Staff Academy on his third try. All the exams were very difficult for him and cost a lot of work. He is described as a strong person, but failure in the last exam hit his self-control very hard, and he was so upset that he almost wanted to cry from resentment. In difficult times, he listens to his wife, does not resist her desire to help, and carries out her short orders.
His wife supported him in everything Verochka capable of deep sympathy, able to take on the role of head of the family in difficult times, resolve a difficult situation, and become a peacemaker.
So, she addressed her husband very carefully and affectionately, her quick decisive actions were caused by sincere concern for her husband’s state of mind and his possible future failure.

Themes

The main themes of the story, closely related to each other, are: love and happiness. What is true love? Is this where happiness lies? True feeling is based on mutual trust, on the ability to self-sacrifice for the sake of a loved one, on the ability to understand the pain and joy of a loved one, and in its possession there can be real happiness, spiritual and elevating the personality. This is why we can call Vera happy: she is capable of such deep love, and her husband values her as much as she values him.

The story gives brief descriptions of the details of everyday life, the environment in which the action itself takes place, and sketches of nature convey a special feeling at one time or another, such as, for example, the silence and beauty of late evening:

When the Almazovs arrived at the gardener’s, the white St. Petersburg night had already spread across the sky and in the air like blue milk.

This state of evening peace also continues because at this time people are already returning home to their family.

The gardener, a Czech, a little old man in gold glasses, had just sat down with his family for dinner.

Problems

The work raises, first of all, the problem of love and the related problem of happiness. In particular, this is the difficulty of true, sacrificial love, and the ability to sincere participation and sympathy. This is both the main character’s lack of fortitude and the difficult task on Vera’s shoulders - to take on the role of the main one and resolve a difficult situation when a loved one is at a loss.

One way or another, the problems of the work are connected with the moral categories of love relationships between people. What properties does true love have, and how does it manifest itself? Is it capable of making a person truly happy and spiritually free in his happiness? Moral problems also affected Vera's husband when he realized his deception and realized that he had not acted very well towards the professor.

Meaning

The main idea of the work is that deep affection, mutual love, trust and respect of spouses are built on the ability to sacrifice oneself for the sake of a loved one, to support, sympathize - to be close. A life of harmony can only arise if both people treat each other very carefully and with love. It is this kind of marriage that can make a wife and husband happy, elevating them above routine and everyday life.

It is interesting that Kuprin’s main idea focuses on the role of a woman in marriage. The weather in the house largely depends on it. If she had not shown proper understanding and had only attacked her husband for his lack of attentiveness, then Nikolai would have broken down completely, and the family would have turned into mutual torture. But the support, sympathy and love of Vera, who sacrifices her interests for the good of her husband, saved the situation and rescued the hero, who is again ready to conquer the granite cliffs of science.

Conclusion

So, the story of A.I. Kuprin’s “The Lilac Bush,” presenting a certain ideal of marital relations, and a completely realistic one at that, inspires the reader with the natural beauty of human feelings: mutual respect, trust, sacrifice, participation. Thus, our consciousness can absorb this ideal, accordingly, rise and approach it, understand its essence and unconsciously reach for its beauty.

You need to learn to love. Many people think that this feeling falls from the sky or depends entirely on the mysterious compatibility of hearts, but the writer draws our attention to the fact that he needs to learn, overcoming difficulties together. True love is not a gift, but an achievement achieved by moral and virtuous people who are ready to work on themselves to achieve harmony in the family. This is what Kuprin teaches in his story.

Criticism

Story by A.I. I perceived Kuprin’s “Lilac Bush” as something very integral, organic, and natural. The relationship between Vera and Nikolai Evgrafovich, everyday, seemingly everyday, is described so carefully and faithfully that it is easy to be charmed by the mutual friendship and love of the spouses. The impression from the story is that a certain example of a marital relationship appeared somewhere in the memory, natural, completely close to real life and at the same time very noble and beautiful.

The writer's contemporaries received the story enthusiastically. Thus, I.V. Terentyev wrote that “A. Kuprin’s work has the healing power of the purest moral source.” In his article, he especially praised the image of Verochka as the author’s most successful discovery.

However, the new creative plans were not destined to come true. In August 1938 Kuprin died in Leningrad from cancer.

Presentation

The lesson can begin with a conversation.

Happiness is a big word. Almost everyone considers happiness when you have a full family, when there are reliable friends nearby, when a person does not have serious material and other problems, some consider a person happy who has a goal in life. In general, the feeling of happiness is subjective. One correlates it with material wealth, the other - with a pleasant pastime. The feeling of happiness is largely determined by a person's relationships with other people. Therefore, friendship and love also bring happiness to a person.

How do you feel about the statement of A.S. Makarenko: “You cannot be a happy person by chance, like at roulette - you need to be able to be a happy person”? (Slide No. 2)

What is happiness?
Some say: “These are passions:

All the thrills."

Others believe that happiness is
With a large salary and power,
In the eyes of the secretaries of the prisoners
And the trembling of subordinates.

Still others believe that happiness is
This is a great participation:
Care, warmth, attention
And a commonality of experience.

According to the fourth, this is -
Sit with my dear until dawn,
One day confess your love
And never part again.

And daring wings of takeoff!

And happiness, in my opinion, is simple
Comes in different heights:
From the hummock to Kazbek,
Depending on the person

6. Lesson summary.

The teacher suggests discussing the entries in the analytical cards and asking questions.

As homework, students are asked to write an essay-argument on the topic: “What does it mean to be happy?”

A good marriage rests on talent and friendship.

Happiness is...

Happiness is when you are understood

great happiness is when you are loved, real happiness is when you love. Confucius

As it turns out, you don’t need much to be truly happy. Is not it?

I agree with the aphorism: happiness is not your best friend, it comes when you feel good and goes away when you feel bad! Indeed, a person’s happiness consists of those moments when a person feels good and when he experiences true satisfaction, the moment passes and misfortune is right there!
`...don’t desire wealth and love, desire happiness, and you will find what will make you happy!

What a blessing that we have Someone
Who needs you, needs you anyone!
Who cares for us,
On whose shoulder do we find peace?
Who will listen to us and not judge us,
Who will lend a faithful hand in need,
Who will cool down the anger in the raging soul
And he will never betray you into misfortune.
It’s so good that this Someone is nearby,
When there is no strength in the world to live anymore.
He will understand everything and with a warm, kind look
He will tell you what to do, how to be.
Also, someone will simply regret it,
And he will sympathize with your fate
And gently warms you on your chest,
Without thinking about yourself.
Oh, how we need this simple Someone...
A straw on life's journey.
The salvation of our souls is his concern,
But it's very difficult for us to find him
Cherish happiness, cherish it!
Notice, rejoice, take
Rainbows, sunrises, stars' eyes -
It's all for you, for you, for you.
We heard a trembling word -
Rejoice. Don't ask for a second one.
Don't waste time. To nothing.
Rejoice at this, him!
And for very, very kind eyes
There are no squabbles, no envy, no torment.
Joy itself will stretch out its hands to you,
If your heart is bright.
See the beauty in the ugly,
See the river floods in the streams!
Who knows how to be happy in everyday life,
He really is a happy man!

What is happiness? Some say: “These are passions: Cards, wine, hobbies - All the thrills.”
Others believe that happiness is in a large salary and power, in the eyes of captive secretaries and the awe of subordinates.
Still others believe that happiness is a great participation: Care, warmth, attention and commonality of experience.
According to the fourth, this is to sit with your sweetheart until dawn, confess your love one day and never part again.
There is also an opinion, That happiness is burning: Search, dream, work And daring wings of take-off!

Prepare to write a home essay on the topic: “What does it mean to be happy?”

Happiness- a state of a person that corresponds to the greatest internal satisfaction with the conditions of one’s existence, the fullness and meaningfulness of life, the fulfillment of one’s human purpose

The heroine of A. I. Kuprin’s story “The Lilac Bush” is a young woman, Vera Almazova, the wife of an officer studying at the Academy of the General Staff. They are not rich, and Vera has to make every effort to run the household. “She denied herself everything she needed,” creating the comfort her hard-working husband needed. She must support her husband in every possible way, helping him pass the exams for the Academy. If it weren’t for her, he would “give up on everything,” not finding enough energy in himself.

This is a Russian name, it has the same meaning as the word `vera`.
Vera in childhood was a balanced girl with a logical mind. She loves a variety of trinkets, and all the unnecessary things in the house eventually end up among her toys. She avoids noisy companies and is not subject to whims. He studies diligently and willingly looks after his younger brother or sister. Vera has few close friends.
Vera has a well-organized practical mind. She is able to soberly assess the situation and shows intelligence in specific matters. Vera has musical abilities. She is able to learn to play any musical instrument well.

The surname Almazov comes from the word “diamond”, which was borrowed from the Turkic-speaking peoples and, in addition to the meaning of “precious stone”, also had the meaning of “hardened steel”. The name Almaz (Almas), which can be translated as “will not touch, will not take,” was extremely common and popular in Tatar onomastics. Almazov has been found as a Russian surname since the 15th century.

Vera shared all his problems with him and “learned to meet every failure with a clear, almost cheerful face.” For her husband, she was a “scribe, draftswoman, reader, tutor and memory book.” Her husband easily loses heart, gets irritated, and takes out all his grievances on Vera. But she finds the patience not to be offended, but to console him and find a way out of the situation.

She offers an unusual solution - to plant lilac bushes in the place where her husband spilled ink on the plan. Vera argues with her husband and gets her way. Verochka easily decides to part with her jewelry; it is clear that her husband’s peace of mind is most important to her. Nikolai accepts his wife’s care, he loves her too, just in a different way.

A lilac bush planted outside the city helped Almazov enter the Academy. ... “Lilac will now forever be my favorite flower...” Why does the author end the story this way? ... The author respects Vera because she gives up her jewelry for the sake of her loved one, his happiness

Vera's husband really loves her, but he is a weak man who easily gives in to despair. Vera has to bear the double burden of responsibility for her family, look for ways to overcome difficulties, and constantly maintain vigor in her loved one. It’s difficult for her, but she’s happy, and her difficult happiness deserves respect because she suffered through it

All this often leads to the fact that Nikolai’s character seems to be entirely created from contradictions, so difficult is it to understand him. On the other hand, this may be reflected in his versatility and breadth of views. It will almost certainly be difficult to find any area in communication with him in which he does not have his own opinion. However, there is no need to imagine Kolya as such a know-it-all, this is simply a property of any fast mind, obeying intuition more than logic. By the way, this statement is easy to verify - just find out what game he prefers - “slow” chess or “fast” checkers? Most likely, he will choose the second one.

Nikolai Almazov studies at the Academy of the General Staff. It is very difficult, there are difficult exams, and due to an accidental mistake, the young officer found himself in a difficult situation. It is necessary to justify yourself to the professor, but how? Nikolai believes that everything is lost. He is completely crushed by this failure and responds sharply to his wife. “It was clear that this strong man wanted to cry.” He is afraid of the upcoming shame: “In a month again to the regiment, and even with shame, with misery.”

“...he let go of the briefcase, which fell to the floor and almost opened, and he threw himself into a chair, angrily crunching his fingers folded together...”

Vera has a stronger and more decisive character; she helped her husband enter the Academy. The Almazovs are not rich, and Vera “denied herself everything she needed” to make Nikolai’s life comfortable because he worked hard. She suffers for him and is quickly ready to act to rescue her husband from an unpleasant situation (the husband spilled ink on a drawing of the area because he had been working too long). Vera comes up with an idea to plant lilac bushes and justify the spot that has appeared on the terrain plan.

Having collected the last valuables of the family, she pawns them in a pawnshop, and with this money she buys lilac bushes from the gardener. At night they hire workers to plant the bushes.

Vera accepts her husband’s victory as her own. Forces her husband to tell in every detail about the story with the bushes. She realized that her husband had entered the General Staff Academy.

Triumph of love

“Almazov was covered in dust, but his face shone with the triumph of the victory.” They walked home, “holding hands and laughing incessantly.”

Nikolai changes for the better under the influence of his wife. At first he even hated the professor of the Academy, called him “German”, “Pedant”, and after the story with the lilacs he began to say “Such a clever fellow”, “Knowledge is simply monstrous”.

The power of love helped Vera do everything for her husband to overcome adversity. It is a great happiness for him that such a faithful and devoted person as Vera is in his life.

The story is named so because thanks to the lilac bush and Vera’s resourcefulness, Nikolai entered the Academy of the General Staff. He realized that their lives depended not on the “German”, “Pedant”, but on themselves. People are the creators of their own happiness.
