The poem “Mtsyri” by the famous Russian writer Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov really touched me. Main character This work is about a young man who, having been taken from his homeland as a child, subsequently became a novice in a monastery. He was called “Mtsyri”, which in Georgian means “novice”. I think that each of us, having read this work, will find something familiar and dear to us in the image of Mtsyri.
The guy had a very difficult fate: He had to live and grow up away from home with people he didn’t know. At just six years old, he had his first encounter with death. The child fell ill and could have died, but he was saved. It is very hard to imagine that a boy at such a young age had already been captured by a Russian general.
The image of Mtsyri is truly dear to me, first of all, because for me he is the personification of human strength and courage. After all, not even every adult can endure what the guy had to endure.
It is very important that the boy is a patriot of his country: he always wanted to live and die in his homeland, in the Caucasus. What is also important to me is that there is a lot to learn from him. I'm proud of people like him. After all, many would have already resigned themselves to their fate and would not even try to do anything. Mtsyri’s willpower and patriotism are what amazed me. I realized that you need to love your homeland with every fiber of your soul, and only then will you have the right to call yourself a true citizen of your country. And it doesn’t matter at all where you live - the main thing is that you always remember the place where you were born and who you really are, then you can achieve everything you want.
Mtsyri taught me to be a persistent and purposeful person. He showed that even in the most difficult situations you need to go towards your goal and never give up.
The image of Mtsyri is very close to me, and all because I also love my small homeland, but, unfortunately, I, like the hero of Lermontov’s poem, had to leave it. But I am not discouraged and dream of returning there to work for the good of my country and make it better for myself and the people around me.
I, like Mtsyri, have my own goals in life. I really want to finish school and go get higher education to my homeland - I hope that, unlike the unfortunate hero Lermontov, I will be able to fulfill my dream.
I am a very purposeful person, in this Mtsyri and I are also very similar. I always try to achieve the goals that I have set for myself and never pay attention to the obstacles that stand between me and my goal. I, just like the boy, am ready to do anything to achieve everything I have planned.
Mtsyri for me is the embodiment of a real living human soul.

The beauty of the surrounding world leaves an indelible impression on Mtsyri’s soul. The harmony of nature delights him and makes him feel that he is part of it. amazing world. And the mountain stream, strengthened by the thunderstorm, trying to escape from the narrow gorge, also makes “friendship” with Mtsyri, just like the thunderstorm. The “mighty spirit” of the young man is best demonstrated in his battle with the leopard. The fugitive's heart is ignited with a thirst for fight
The work of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov “Mtsyri” tells the story of the short life of a young man raised within the monastery walls and who dared to challenge the despotism and injustice reigning around him. The poem poses questions to the reader about the meaning of existence, the cruelty of fate and inevitability, and individual rights.
Maksimov D.E. wrote that the meaning of Lermontov’s poem is “to glorify the search, the power of will, courage, rebellion and struggle, no matter what tragic results they lead to.”
The image of Mtsyri is the image of a prisoner desperately fighting for his freedom, this is the embodiment of human dignity, courage and selfless courage. This young man is a picture of strength human character.
In the poem, the story of Mtsyri’s entire life is presented in one chapter, and several days of wandering occupy the main part of the work. This was not done by accident, since it was in last days The hero's life reveals the strength of his character, the originality of his personality.
Mtsyri passionately desires to find freedom, he wants to find out what it means to truly live, and after all his adventures he speaks about it:
Do you want to know what I did when I was free?
Lived - and my life without these three
blissful days Howled 6 sadder and gloomier...
Mtsyri's courage, courage and extraordinary thirst for life are revealed in the episode of the fight with the leopard. The hero fights with the leopard, not paying attention to physical pain, not knowing the fear for his life:
I waited, grabbing the horned branch, for the moment of battle:
My heart suddenly lit up with a thirst for fight.
All actions and deeds of Mtsyri are an example of inflexibility of spirit and strength of character. He is looking for his homeland, without even knowing where it is, he controls himself in any situation, does not pay the slightest attention to the fact that he is hungry, that he has to sleep right on the ground.
The episode with the beautiful Georgian woman going down the path to get water once again confirms the integrity of the young man’s nature. Mtsyri is overcome by a passionate impulse, he wants to go after the girl, but, having overcome his desire, he remains true to his goal and continues the difficult path through the forest wilds in search of his home.
Already within the walls of the monastery and feeling the inevitable approach of death. Mtsyri is still firmly convinced that he did everything right. To prove that he did not repent of his action, that he remained true to his views and convictions, the hero asks to be buried in the garden, in freedom, and not within the walls of this terrible prison.
In the image of Mtsyri, a strong and courageous man, one can easily guess the features of the author of the work, M. Yu. Lermontov. The main feature that unites the creator and his hero is a passionate desire to be free, not to limit oneself to conventions and dogmas. The author rebels against the oppression of the individual, puts brave words into the mouth of his brave hero, thereby raising the eternal question of individual rights.
In the poem "Mtsyri" there is a romantic plot, romantic hero And romantic landscape. Confirm this.
IN romantic works one can always feel the author’s direct assessment of his characters and their actions and the events depicted. Lermontov openly glorifies Mtsyri’s love of freedom, his courage, and thirst for a life full of “anxiety and battles” that the young man dreams of. The events depicted in romantic works are always bright, exceptional, in them the character of the hero is revealed with extraordinary force (Mtsyri’s escape from the monastery in a thunderstorm, meeting with a young Georgian woman, wandering in a dark forest in search of the lost road to his homeland, a fight with a leopard and Mtsyri’s victory ).
The author is interested not so much in the events themselves as in the inner world of the hero, hence Lermontov’s use of Mtsyri’s confessional monologue, which helps “tell his soul” and introduce the reader to his thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
At the center of romantic works there is always a bright, rebellious, heroic personality - such is Mtsyri. Lermontov's hero is characterized not only by courage, willpower, and contempt for death, but also by the ability to live with one all-consuming feeling, one passion:
I knew only the power of thoughts,
One but fiery passion...
She called my dreams from stuffy cells and prayers into that wonderful world of worries and battles,
Where rocks hide in the clouds,
Where people are as free as eagles.
This statement by Mtsyri and all his subsequent actions emphasize his love of freedom, desire to experience the “bliss of freedom” and exceptional determination. The atmosphere of humility and submission is alien to the fiery, rebellious nature of the young man. The dying Mtsyri, at the last moment of saying goodbye to life, thinks about the “holy homeland”, which he was unable to reach.
Romantic works are characterized by a bright contrast of heroes (Mtsyri - monks). Although Mtsyri’s monologue is given in Lermontov’s poem, the attentive reader feels that the hero of the poem constantly contrasts his idea of life with the beliefs of the monks, as if entering into an argument with them. For monks, the main thing in life is humility, life without shocks and storms, renunciation of earthly joys in the name of eternal happiness “in the holy transcendental land.” For Mtsyri, the main thing is freedom, liberty, a life full of joys, excitement, anxiety, struggle, an active life with its stress, storms, dangers, the hero’s readiness to change “paradise and eternity” in a few minutes of being in his homeland. These are two contrasting ideas about life and their incompatibility, hence Mtsyri’s sharp contrast between himself and the monks:
And at the hour of the night, terrible hour,
When the thunderstorm scared you,
When, crowded at the altar,
You were lying prostrate on the ground,
I ran away...
The landscape in romantic works, as a rule, is exotic (steep cliffs, mountains covered with dense forest, stormy streams) and is the most important means of revealing the character of the hero. “The gray, unshakable Caucasus”, all the surrounding nature is close to Mtsyri’s rebellious nature. It is no coincidence that he constantly heard the call of powerful nature while in the monastery, and felt that he understood its language. Pay attention to the metaphors and comparisons that are used in Mtsyri’s speech when describing mountain ranges and rocks (stanza 6). The landscape helps to feel the psychological state of the hero (a thunderstorm is close to his soul, he subtly feels the beauty of the world around him, joy and surprise are felt in his words). Nature in the poem is not a background, but an active force: it causes both joy and despair of the hero at the moment when he feels a hostile force in it (the onset of night at the end of the second day of wandering).
Mtsyri's last wish is to be buried outside the walls of the monastery, in order to feel once again how beautiful the world is, which he has to leave so early, to feel the farewell greetings of his native Caucasus.
What role does the sound of the monastery bell play in the poem?
The distant ringing of the monastery bell is for Mtsyri evidence of the catastrophe that has befallen him: what is unexpected for him is the return to the place from which he set off: “I returned to my prison.” This was the end of my dream of breaking free and finding my way home. The church bell is compared to the blows of iron beating in the chest and depriving Mtsyri of his last hope:
And then I vaguely realized
Why should I never lay a trail to my homeland?
Try to prove the accuracy of V. G. Belinsky’s statement that Mtsyri is “our poet’s favorite ideal.”
Reference. The ideal is the perfect embodiment in in this case in the artistic image of traits that the author of the work especially highly values in a person.
In Mtsyri, Lermontov’s favorite character, the poet embodied traits close to himself: love of freedom, thirst active life, full of storms and anxieties, rebellion, unwillingness to submit to fate, fearlessness, courage, exceptional determination (in one of the poet’s early poems there are the following lines: “I need to act”). Only a person who closely perceives Mtsyri’s condition could convey the feelings of his hero so vividly, heartfeltly, figuratively. The reader feels this constantly and, together with the unconquered Mtsyri, experiences his tragedy.
In 8th grade, it is customary to write an essay based on Mtsyri’s poem. And, of course, we cannot ignore the main character. Why is Mtsyri close to us? What's special about it?
Lermontov, as the author of the work, shows us the serious social problems that he faced in real life. It was they who led him to write this work. In the image of Mtsyri he shows special person and a heroic personality.
The main theme is freedom.
This is what I really like about the hero. He longs for her. The episode of the young man’s fight with the leopard is especially striking. How jealously he fought, how passionately he went into battle. The other half of the readers pay more attention to why Mtsyri fled during the thunderstorm. It’s difficult to answer right away, since this is a strong and multifaceted image.
I think the author tried to show himself, his face and his thoughts. Even the conclusion of Mtsyri’s poem somehow emphasizes the author’s personality. The main character is an amazing character. Readers always find something that is similar to them personally. And I believe that Mtsyri is close to me in spirit and thirst for freedom. No one will steal a person's freedom. No matter how many arguments are given.
