By imperial decree of Alexander I on October 19 (31) on the outskirts of St. Petersburg, in Tsarskoye Selo, Lyceum was opened. This day was celebrated by his graduates, who always gathered for a "lyceum dinner." These memoirs are devoted to the poetic lines of A. S. Pushkin “October 19”. An analysis of the poem will be conducted below.
Mikhailovsky
Since August 1824, Pushkin was already in exile, on his estate near Pskov. He spent in it alone a little over two years.
The link ended in September 1826. On October 19, 1925, the poet spent one, as the first stanza of the poem narrates about this. From his one-story village house, he was sitting in his office, in a “sad cell” - according to the poet’s definition, he looked out the window and beautiful languid lines of the first stanza lay on the paper, which describes the wonderful landscape of late autumn outside the window, but which is on this day not happy with him.
The fireplace is hotly melted, and only wine will give a few minutes of oblivion from loneliness on such a significant day when all friends gathered for a common feast, and an unstable chorus of their voices interrupting each other is heard. All this is clearly imagined by the poet. No matter how his living imagination calls his comrades around him, he still does not hear their approach early. The soul does not wait for their sweet arrival. Thus begins the first two stanzas of October 19th. An analysis of the poem speaks of the bitter loneliness of a person who is accustomed to companionship.
On the banks of the Neva
30 boys became friends over six years of study at the Lyceum and promised each other to meet every year on the anniversary of its opening. But someone may have reasons not to appear at dinner on this significant day. There is no me, says the poet, and who has not come yet? Who is not yet, he is trying to imagine. He knows for sure that curly Nikolai Korsakov could not come. Five years ago, the musician-composer died in Florence. His grave is in Italy, and to find it, if you do not know exactly where to look, is impossible for a Russian person. Not a single Russian word is inscribed at the place of his repose. On this occasion, the poet covers grief on October 19. An analysis of the poem confirms this.
Who isn’t there yet?
About "Federnelka" - his weather Fedor Matyushkin - the poet reflects. The one who had another nickname "I want to swim," was in the third round-the-world trip.
Matyushkin will make a brilliant naval career, become an admiral, but will not cease to be a man. When Pushkin is killed, in desperation he will ask M. L. Yakovlev, also a former lyceum student, how did he allow this? And, violating the Charter, he will give the order to make a volley of all the guns of the ship, which he then commanded. As Pushkin had supposed in the sixth stanza, life does not change the lyceum mores among Fedor Fedorovich Matyushkin. On a beautiful day, the lives of many wonderful people of the time crossed on October 19th. An analysis of the poem will tell about what else the poet was given to know, but what he felt with his heart and soul.
Beautiful union
Unwavering and eternal with delight seems to be a lonely poet lyceum union. He sees him free and careless. And wherever they may be, the whole world is alien, only Tsarskoye Selo is native. And new friendships, as the 8th stanza narrates, are false and always ready for betrayal. A.S. Pushkin has in mind his acquaintance with the count - a rake, a sharpie, Breter Fedor Ivanovich Tolstoy, who spread dirty gossip in Moscow about the poet, who was in exile in the south.
Pushkin later wrote about him that he surprised all parts of the world with his outrages. I also recall a false envious "friend" A.N. Raevsky, who, seeing the mutual enthusiasm of Pushkin and E.K. Vorontsova, envious, made an effort to how Pushkin believed to be sent to exile in Mikhailovskoye. But the poet will not revel in bitter memories. After all, this is the day of October 19th. An analysis of the poem will reveal his best encounters.
Who visited the poet
Of course, the first was Ivan Pushchin. Not for long, just a day friends stayed together, but January 11 turned into Lyceum Day.
The second Pushkin saw in the vicinity of Mikhailovsky Prince A. M. Gorchakov, the one whom he considered "lucky from the first days." On a country road, they met by chance, hugged, and their paths did not cross in the future.
Gorchakov was engaged in the diplomatic service, at which he rose to the highest level in the state. You can find out what the poet thought about when analyzing the poem “October 19”. Pushkin asked himself: who will be left alone to celebrate Lyceum Day? Looking at the end of the poem, it must be said that it will be A. M. Gorchakov, who will die in Baden-Baden in Germany at the age of 84.
Welcome friend
In April, Anton Delvig came to Mikhailovskoye and lived for a while visiting AS Pushkin. The wonderful poet, who wrote the lyceum anthem, which has been performed for many years by many generations of lyceum students, aroused vigor and desire to create in the poet. Both of them at the lyceum began to write verses already noticed by all. A gifted, but lazy, poet subsequently collaborated with Pushkin in the publishing field. They both equally disdained the businessman from literature, Bulgarin, wrote epigrams on him. But this is all in the future, as well as the early death of Delvig, about which friends do not yet know and simply enjoy communicating with each other. Pushkin gives an accurate and concise description of the poet-sybarite, who shy of pomp and lives in silence. This is evidenced by a careful analysis of the poem "October 19". Pushkin in 1931 will have a hard time surviving the death of a close friend, all the more so since Pushchin and Küchelbecker will already be in exile after the uprising on Senate Square.
Building a poem
The work is written in the first person. The lyrical hero does not hide behind any disguise - this is the poet himself, his personal experiences and experience are given here. When a brief analysis of the poem “October 19” is carried out, one should pay attention to the sad solemn beginning, which continues with a description of the bitterness of loneliness, pleasing soul memories of the arrival of friends, and ends with the hope of meeting in the near future, at a feast dedicated to the beloved Lyceum. And after that, the supposed toasts will go, when everything is forgiven to everyone and everywhere the joy of meeting is poured. An analysis of the poem “October 19” (Pushkin) briefly speaks of the transformation of reality by the poet’s imagination from a painfully long separation into a joyful meeting. At the very end, it should be noted that the poem was written in an eight-line stanza (the beginning being solemn five-footed iambic, then the size can change), and this completes the analysis of the poem “October 19”.
