The allegorical "Arion" was written by A. S. Pushkin in 1927, after returning from exile to Mikhailovskoye. It is interesting that during the stay of Mikhailovsky, the poet’s worldview changes.
Changes and changes
In 1926, Mikhailovsky, he reads a lot, writing out the necessary literature from St. Petersburg. Even in the south in Odessa, Pushkin began to read Russo, whose ideas were close to the leaders of the Southern Secret Society, who adhered to republican convictions. And in a remote village he follows literary controversy about the problems of classical and romantic tragedy and participates in it. The sentence was executed by the Decembrists when the poet was in Mikhailovsky.
Pushkin reacted approximately like this - it was terrible that five were hanged, but hard labor for 120 people was terrible. In September, after the coronation, he was introduced to Emperor Nicholas I. The results were as follows: Pushkin received freedom of movement, Benckendorff, chief of the gendarmes, as an intermediary, he transferred his works for review by the emperor personally. Pushkin took it as a fact that the only power in society is the autocratic government. The poet hoped for his progressive reforms, since the Decembrists themselves were not blamed for their political convictions. They were accused of attempting regicide and preparing an uprising. And in December 26, Pushkin wrote the stanza “in the hope of glory and goodness”, which sets out the program of actions of Nicholas (Peter the Great was taken as a model) and where in the end it is proposed to forget the decembrists’s acts, that is, to return them from Siberia. For Pushkin, the fact of cooperation with the government was important, but he did not renounce his friends. In Moscow in 27, he writes a message to Siberia, then a poem, where the main characters are a team of Decembrists and a free singer Arion. Pushkin analyzes in the form of an allegory.
Drama Arion
Kifared Arion, singing and accompanying himself on cifar, sang like an unforgettable Orpheus. He sailed on a ship, bringing wealthy earnings from Italy to Greece. But the sailors, not fulfilling their delivery obligations, simply decided to rob and drown him. They simply threw him into the open sea.
There he was picked up by Apollo himself, who assumed the form of a dolphin, and saved the unfortunate one. So the singer Arion survived thanks to divine providence. Pushkin’s analysis of this legend is cardinal, completely changing its meaning.
Legend Processing Result
Even trusting the team, one cannot be as nonchalant as Arion. Analysis (Pushkin composes a poem of only fifteen stanzas) of the work shows that the unforeseen can always happen. Half of the verse is dedicated to the team, and the second part to the lyrical hero. Measured work of the team takes place before the storm, that is, before the uprising. Each of the many team members has a business that they perform in unison. Which, incidentally, was not really the case. There were completely different programs of the Southern and Northern societies; there were no concerted actions during the uprising itself. Ryleyev, speaking ill, did not go to Senate Square at all. But in hindsight, the poet idealizes the actions of all team members. Of course, I would like to know who the poet considered as a leader, an intelligent feeder, but comments on this do not give an answer. And what is the singer doing at this time? Young Arion sings a song to swimmers. Pushkin's analysis of his character gives epithets - heedless, mysterious. The poet himself, like the singer, was nonchalant and did not reliably know about the impending uprising and what would follow.
Arion's actions
Suddenly, a noisy whirlwind flies up - there is no one else - neither swimmers nor a feeder. The sea took all of them to their fold.
After a sudden storm, only Arion remains alive. Pushkin in the second part of the poem consistently shows his actions. Here he is washed ashore, that is, the poet is released from exile. So he sings the old hymns, yes, Pushkin did not forget his friends and gives them hope in verse that they will be joyfully greeted by freedom and the star will captivate them with captivating happiness. Finally, the singer dries a wet robe - a hint of gospel motifs, since the Decembrists have nothing left except faith.
Poetic paths, or analysis of the poem "Arion" by Pushkin
The poem is written by a four-foot iamba. Antithesis is the contrast between peaceful and well-coordinated work on a shuttle that suddenly collapsed and turned everything upside down. Alliterations "W - U - S - U" of the peaceful part of the poem transmit measured noise and splashing waves under the oars and songs of the kifared "PLN - PLV - PL". The peaceful part ends with a significant ellipsis in the middle of the stanza. The accumulation of consonants in the next word “suddenly”, starting a new sentence, reveals the tension that swimmers will now experience: a noisy (epithet) whirlwind sweeps them away. The alliterations of this sentence changed to chaotic "LN - VLN - ML - NL - MN - X - R - RM - C". How can we finish the analysis of the poem “Arion” by Pushkin? With the words that the tragedy of the death of the shuttle with its inhabitants is underlined by an exclamation mark at the end of the stanza.
