A poem as a poetic genre is a poetic narrative work. Pushkin's poems, a list of which will be presented in the future, occupy a fairly large part in his work. He wrote twelve poems, and another twelve remained unfinished in the outline and initial lines. Beginning in 1820, from the period of southern exile, the poet creates, one after another, very serious and deep in content romantic poems, very modern and complex in their highly poetic form and problems.
The general meaning of poems
Pushkin’s southern poems, the list of which includes such works as The Robber Brothers, The Prisoner of the Caucasus, The Bakhchisarai Fountain, etc., bring a completely new direction to Russian literature, which has become known as revolutionary revolutionary romanticism. It expressed the poetic feelings and views of modern noble youth, the most active of which were the Decembrists. In this environment, dissatisfaction was ripening with the way of life and the whole political system of then-Russia. Life for such people was worse than prison, and the man presented himself as a prisoner, ardently striving for freedom, which was generally a cult of revolutionary romantics of the 20s. However, their social loneliness and the absence of any connection with the people, the suffering of which they so much sympathized, often gave an extremely subjective and tragic character to the worldview of the romantics.
Pushkin's romantic poems: a list
The mournful feelings and feelings of a proud and lonely person standing above the crowd became the main content in the poet's work. Thus he protests against social, moral and religious oppression, therefore the heroes whom the poet portrayed in poems were often criminals and violators of generally accepted norms in society. Pushkin was inspired by Byron, as, by the way, by other leading Russian romantic writers. Pushkin also used the form of the “Byronic” poem, in the narrative form of the poem a fictional hero and events that were presented absolutely far from the realities of the poet’s life, perfectly expressed his soul, thoughts and life. Either he imagined himself to be a prisoner in the Caucasus, then Aleko, who had escaped from the "bondage of stuffy cities", etc.
The poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus"
Amazing and unique in their own way, Pushkin's poems, his list also includes the famous poem "Prisoner of the Caucasus." On the example of her analysis, we can say that this is the first poem written by the poet in 1821, where romanticism is pronounced.
The hero, cooling his heart and rushing after the "ghost of freedom", is captured by the Circassians. Cherkesshenko, in love with him, frees the hero, but she rushes into the stormy water of the Terek River.
Until this time, no one had created such a work, so the poem brought Pushkin great success, as it reflected a romantic hero - a captive, who escaped from civilized society and accepted undeserved suffering. He was captured because of his refined and sensual nature, which not every ordinary person will find. Here Pushkin sees in complete imprisonment the freedom of the soul. His captive considers the diverse world to be completely empty and worthless. He found spiritual freedom, but never found happiness in it. So figuratively you can interpret the whole meaning of this work.
The poem "Bakhchisarai Fountain"
This poem was written by Pushkin in 1823, and it turned out to be the most romantic, as it is saturated with very deep drama and severity of emotions. It tells the story of Khan Giray 's love for the Polish beauty Mary, but he has a harem, and one of the beautiful concubines named Zarema is jealous, passionate and decisive. She did not want to retreat from her goals. But Mary in captivity only prayed before the icon of the Mother of God. The death of her day was the best salvation, which happened after a while. In memory of this love, the khan built a beautiful Bakhchisarai fountain. This is how the poem reflects not just two completely different natures of women, but also culture.
Pushkin Alexander Sergeevich: poems (list)
Pushkin, creating romantic images of people and nature in his poems, practically did not invent them, since very often he relied on his personal and lively impressions, for example, about the Crimea, the Caucasus, the Bessarabian steppes, etc.
Here, in fact, very briefly about what they carried to the reading masses of Pushkin's poems. The list of these works was made by such works as “Angelo”, “Brothers-robbers”, “Bakhchisarai fountain”, “Vadim”, “Gavrliiada”, “House in Kolomna”, “Count Nulin”, “Jezersky”, “Prisoner of the Caucasus”, “Poltava”, “The Bronze Horseman”, “Tazit”, “Ruslan and Lyudmila”, “Gypsies”. This, of course, is not all of Pushkin’s poems - the list can be continued further, but for the most part these works will be incomplete, since the life of this great literary artist was cut short and tragically.
