Alexander Aleksandrovich Blok was a special person with a fine mental organization and a tendency to solitary thoughts, perhaps this was precisely the main reason for his choice of his life path as the “master of rhymes”. In Russian literature, he took his rightful place as a symbolist poet, who created his amazingly penetrating works in the cultural period of the Silver Age.
One of the most striking and memorable readers was the verse of Blok “The Stranger”. The time of his writing (1906) falls on one of the most difficult periods of the poet's life. Then, 26-year-old Alexander Blok was experiencing a temporary breakdown in relations with his beloved wife, Lyubov Dmitrievna Mendeleeva (it was to him that he had previously devoted his "Poems about the Beautiful Lady"), the reason for which was her relationship with the poet's friend - Andrei Bely.
The analysis of the Blok’s poem clearly shows the whole gamut of feelings and emotions of the young poet in the dramatic period of family conflicts. The cycle of poems later in the collection “The Terrible World” dates to the same time. Through the renunciation of mundane and gross reality, the pain of loneliness and the dream of the sublime beauty of another, unreal world, Blok tries to comprehend the reality surrounding him and find in it a secret key that opens the door to a perfect world of beauty and harmony.
Performing the analysis of the poem of the “Stranger” Block, we can clearly see the contradictions between the rude and vulgar world of reality and ideal ideas about the world that live in the poet’s soul. Blok himself clearly speaks of this in the final lines of the poem: "In my soul lies a treasure, and the key is entrusted only to me."
The contradictions of the worlds are exposed with the help of bright and contrasting images contrasted with each other. Here we notice such contrasts as “spring and corrupting spirit”, lexical repetitions of “children's crying” and “female screech”, the boredom of “country cottages” and the “pointlessly curving disk” of the moon, and the vulgarity of the “wise witches” walking among the ditches with the ladies .
An analysis of Blok’s verse by the Stranger shows us how the poet’s soul wants to rebel against commonplace routine, but since all the events of the surrounding reality are predictable and invincible in their constancy, which is clearly shown in the poem by repeating the phrase “every evening” three times, the young dreamer prefers to stay every day "Humble and stunned by wine," as "tart and mysterious moisture." It seems that it is this "tart moisture" that allows him to dissolve the surrounding reality, enveloping it with "spirits and mists" (read - wine pairs), allowing you to see everything in a different light.
An analysis of Blok’s poem “The Stranger” shows that the mention of “fogs” is found twice in the text of the work, namely, when the stranger “moves through a foggy window” and when she is alone, “breathing in spirits and fogs”, sits by the window. It is these “fogs” that create in the imagination of the lyric hero of the poem the entire romantic image of a stranger (“Is this just me dreaming?” He asks himself), which, in fact, according to the poet himself, in real life is just a “drunken monster” .
An analysis of the poem of Blok “The Stranger” gives an answer to the question of finding a way out into another reality of an ideal world. In the last lines, the poet exclaims: “I know: the truth is in fault”, which means that he has already found his “key” to the “treasure” of the ideal world of his own soul.
