Karamzin, poor Lisa, analysis of the work, plot plan. Literature lesson plan (9th grade) on the topic: N. Karamzin “Poor Liza”

How does the work you read differ from those discussed in previous lessons? (the language of the story is much closer to us, it is easier to read than the works of those Russian authors with whom you met before Karamzin).

II. Getting to know the personality of N.M. Karamzin.

- N.M. Karamzin was born on December 1 (12), 1766 in the Simbirsk province into a well-born but poor noble family. The Karamzins descended from the Tatar prince Kara-Murza, who was baptized and became the founder of the Kostroma landowners.

The writer's father for his military service received an estate in the Simbirsk province, where Karamzin spent his childhood. He inherited his quiet disposition and penchant for daydreaming from his mother Ekaterina Petrovna, whom he lost at the age of three.

When Karamzin was 13 years old, his father sent him to the boarding school of Moscow University professor I.M. Schaden, where the boy listened to lectures, received a secular education, studied German and French languages, read in English and Italian. At the end of the boarding school in 1781, Karamzin left Moscow and joined the Preobrazhensky Regiment in St. Petersburg, to which he was assigned at birth.

By the time military service These are the first literary experiments. Writer's inclinations young man brought him closer to prominent Russian writers. Karamzin started as a translator, edited the first children's magazine in Russia “ Children's reading for the heart and mind.”

After the death of his father in January 1784, Karamzin retired with the rank of lieutenant and returned to his homeland in Simbirsk. Here he led a rather absent-minded lifestyle, typical of a nobleman of those years.

A decisive turn in his fate was made by a chance acquaintance with I.P. Turgenev, an active Freemason and associate famous writer and the book publisher of the late 18th century N.I. Novikova. Over the course of four years, the aspiring writer moved in Moscow Masonic circles and became close friends with N.I. Novikov, becomes a member of the scientific society. But soon Karamzin experiences deep disappointment in Freemasonry and leaves Moscow, setting off on a long journey through Western Europe(SLIDE 3).

- (SLIDE 4) In the fall of 1790, Karamzin returned to Russia and from 1791 began publishing the Moscow Journal, which was published for two years and had great success with the Russian reading public. The leading place in it was occupied by fiction, including the works of Karamzin himself - “Letters of a Russian Traveler”, the stories “Natalia, the Boyar’s Daughter”, “Poor Liza”. New Russian prose began with Karamzin's stories. Perhaps, without even expecting it, Karamzin outlined the features of an attractive image of a Russian girl - a deep and romantic nature, selfless, truly folk.

Beginning with the publication of the Moscow Journal, Karamzin appeared before Russian public opinion as the first professional writer and journalist. IN noble society Literature was considered more of a hobby and certainly not a serious profession. The writer, through his work and constant success with readers, established the authority of publishing in the eyes of society and turned literature into an honorable and respected profession.

Karamzin’s merit as a historian is enormous. For twenty years he worked on the “History of the Russian State,” in which he reflected his view on political, cultural, civil life country for seven centuries. A.S. Pushkin noted the “witty search for truth, a clear and accurate depiction of events” in Karamzin’s historical work.

Slide 4. All creative path Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin as a writer-artist and even a journalist is confined to a short, slightly more than ten-year period of time from 1791 to 1803. After this, Karamzin devoted 23 years of his life to professional historiography - the creation of the 12-volume “History of the Russian State.”

Slide 5. Still thirteen years old literary creativity It turned out to be enough to gain fame as a great writer, a reformer of Russian literature and language, and to mark with his name a whole long period of development of Russian literature.

Slide 6. Belinsky, outstanding literary critic says that Karamzin created a Russian public that did not exist before him, created readers - and since literature is unthinkable without readers, we can safely say that literature, in modern meaning of this word, began with us from the era of Karamzin and began precisely thanks to his knowledge, energy, subtle taste and extraordinary talent: “Karamzin was the first in Rus' to write stories that interested society... stories in which people acted, the life of the heart was depicted and passions in the midst of ordinary everyday life,” stories in which “like a mirror, the life of the heart is truly reflected... as it existed for the people of that time.” “The pure, high glory of Karamzin belongs to Russia, and not a single writer with true talent, not a single learned person, even those who were his opponents, refused him a tribute of deep respect and gratitude,” wrote A.S. Pushkin.

Slide 7. Karamzin's works enjoyed enormous success not only among “educated” readers, but also among ordinary readers. One of the writer’s contemporaries spoke about the popularity of Karamzin’s prose: “What could be sweeter for Mr. Karamzin?.. Men, artisans, monks, soldiers - everyone knows about him, everyone loves him!...”

Slide 8. This is what Karamzin saw as the secret of literary creativity: “They say that the author needs talent and knowledge: a sharp, insightful mind, a vivid imagination, and so on. Fair, but not enough. He also needs to have good things, tender heart, if he wants to be a friend and favorite of our soul..."

*Highlight in this statement main idea and write it down in your notebook.

Slide 9. All contemporaries and literary descendants saw in Karamzin a pioneer and reformer who accomplished a revolution in Russian literature. Karamzin came into Russian life simultaneously with the penetration of the first sentimentalist trends into Russian literature.Sentimentalism – literary direction, marked by increased interest in human feeling, emotional perception the surrounding world. Sentimentalists assessed a person in a new way: whether he was capable of great, sincere and deep experiences.

IV. Conversation about the story “Poor Liza”, read at home (SLIDE5).

Sentimentalism is artistic direction(current) in art and literature of the late XVIII - early XIX centuries. Remember what a literary movement is. (You can check it on the last slide of the presentation). The very name “sentimentalism” (from the English sentimental - sensitive) indicates that feeling becomes the central aesthetic category of this direction.

Comparative characteristics of classicism and sentimentalism:

You have read N.M. Karamzin’s story “Poor Liza”. What is this work about? Describe its content in 2–3 sentences.

From whom is the story told?

How did you see the main characters? How does the author feel about them?

Is Karamzin's story similar to the works of classicism?

What do you expect from works of sentimentalism? (Students make the following assumptions: these will be “beautifully written” works; these will be light, “calm” works; they will talk about simple, everyday life person, about his feelings, experiences).

Slide 10 .- Paintings will help us more clearly show the distinctive features of sentimentalism, because sentimentalism, like classicism, manifested itself not only in literature, but also in other forms of art. Look at two portraits of Catherine II. The author of one of them is a classicist artist, the author of the other is a sentimentalist. Determine which direction each portrait belongs to and try to justify your point of view. (Students unmistakably determine that the portrait made by F. Rokotov is classicist, and the work by V. Borovikovsky belongs to sentimentalism, and prove their opinion by comparing the background, color, composition of the paintings, pose, clothing, facial expression of Catherine in each portrait).

Slide 11,12. Write down the definition of sentimentalism.

Slide 13. In 1792, the Moscow Journal published N.M. Karamzin’s story “Poor Liza.” This work brought fame and popularity to the author. For short time it was reprinted 6 times. An indicator of the literary shock that his story brought to Russian fiction was the wave of imitations that swept Russian literature at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries. One after another, stories appear, varying the Karamzin plot: “Poor Masha” by A. Izmailov, “Seduced Henrietta” by I. Svechinsky, “Dasha, a Country Girl” by P. Lvov, “Unhappy Margarita” unknown author, “Beautiful Tatiana” by V. Izmailov, “The Story of Poor Marya” by N. Brusilov. ").

Why did the story, written in 1792, have unprecedented success? What did the public find in her? (The public had compassion for ordinary people, sympathized with victims of passion).

LESSON 2. Analysis of the story

1) Landscape. And now Let's take a short walk around the outskirts of Moscow. Students find lines at the beginning of the story that describe objects.

Slide 18 . The story “Poor Liza” begins with a description of the surroundings of the Simonov Monastery, associated in the associative memory of the author-narrator with “the memory of the deplorable fate of Liza, poor Liza.” We will also follow the writer on a tour of the outskirts of Moscow. “Perhaps no one living in Moscow knows the outskirts of this city as well as I do, because no one wanders on foot more often than I do, without a plan, without a goal - wherever the eyes look - through meadows and groves, over hills and plains. Every summer I find new pleasant places or new beauty in old ones,” the author states at the beginning of the story.

Slide 19. Simonov Monastery. Let's read Karamzin's lines: “But most pleasant for me is the place where the gloomy gothic towers Si...new monastery. Standing on this mountain, you see on the right side almost all of Moscow, this terrible mass of houses and churches<...>: a magnificent picture, especially when the sun shines on it, when its evening rays glow on countless golden domes<...>. Below are lush, densely green flowering meadows, and behind them, along the yellow sands, flows a light river, agitated by the light oars of fishing boats or rustling under the helm of heavy plows that<...>supply greedy Moscow with bread.”

Slide 20. Moscow River. "On the other side of the river you can see oak grove, near which numerous herds graze: there young shepherds, sitting under the shade of trees, sing simple, sad songs and reduce the summer days, so monotonous for them.”

Slide 21 . Danilov Monastery. “Farther away, in the dense greenery of ancient elms, the golden-domed Danilov Monastery shines”...

Slide 22. Vorobyovy Gory - “... even further, almost at the edge of the horizon, the Vorobyovy Gory is blue.”

Slide 23 . The village of Kolomenskoye. “On the left side you can see vast fields covered with grain, forests, three or four villages and in the distance the village of Kolomenskoye with its high palace.”

We will end this excursion with the author’s statement: “There, leaning on the ruins of tombstones, I listen to the dull groan of times, swallowed up by the abyss of the past, a groan from which my heart shudders and trembles.<...>All this renews the history of our fatherland in my memory - sad story those times when the ferocious Tatars and Lithuanians devastated the surrounding area with fire and sword Russian capital and when unfortunate Moscow, like a defenseless widow, expected help from God alone in any of its disasters.”

*What mood does the landscape create in you? What is his role in the story? (The author not only introduces the scene of action, but also conveys to readers a sad mood, foreshadowing the tragic development of events. The unusualness of the landscape is that it has a spiritual and emotional character.)

*Why does the description of the surrounding area precede the plot of the story? What is the narrator contrasting in this landscape? (Depicting the outskirts of Moscow, the author contrasts the “greedy” Moscow with the “terrible bulk of houses” and the beautiful natural nature, described using the epithets “blooming”, “light”, “light”. This theme will be continued in the plot of the story.)

The story "Poor Liza" is written on the classic plot about the love of representatives different classes: her heroes - the nobleman Erast and the peasant woman Liza - cannot be happy not only for moral reasons, but also for social conditions life.

*Name the works you know in which the authors touch on the topic “Love and social inequality.” (“Cinderella”, “The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom”, “The Young Lady-Peasant”)

*What does the word “poor” mean in the title of the work? This word can be understood in two ways ( slide 24 ): indication of social status the heroine or the author’s attitude towards her? Choose synonyms. (The word “poor” conveys to the reader the author’s attitude towards the heroine.)

*Is it only class barriers that separate the heroes? To answer this question, let's compare the heroes.( Slide 25)

2) Comparison of heroes(Slide 26)

Find words and expressions that characterize the characters and fill out the table.

1. Draw a conclusion about whether it is only social barriers that separate the heroes. (The heroes are separated not only by social, but also by moral barriers.)

Based on the text of the story, we determine which values ​​are significant in each of the characters’ worlds. Two students write down the versions suggested by the students on the board. The following is written on the board and in the notebook:

3) The image of Lisa.

4) The image of Erast.

5) Relationships between heroes.

IV. Summing up.

Why couldn’t the heroes be happy? Was it only social inequality that was an obstacle to their happiness?

Slide 27 - What is the role of landscape in the story? (The entire love story of Lisa and Erast is immersed in a picture of the life of nature, constantly changing according to the stages of development of love feelings. Examples of emotional fullness landscape sketch: melancholic autumn landscape introduction, foreshadowing the overall tragic denouement of the story, a picture of a clear, dewy May morning, in which Lisa and Erast declare their love, and a picture of a terrible night thunderstorm that accompanies the beginning of a tragic turning point in the heroine’s fate. Thus, the landscape from an ordinary background of action turned into a means of psychological characterization of the heroes and acquired “correlation with the inner world of man as a kind of mirror of the soul”).

Slide 28. - Describe the character of the narrator? (The image of the author-narrator is included in the figurative structure of the story as its full-fledged hero and acting (speaking) person - this is a kind of aesthetic center of the entire narrative structure, to which all its semantic and formal levels are drawn, since the author-narrator is the only intermediary between the reader and the life of the heroes, embodied by his word. The narrator sets the emotional tone of the story with his experience for the fate of the heroes, his emotions are conveyed to the reader).

How do you understand the meaning of Karamzin’s words: “And peasant women know how to love”? (The idea of ​​the extra-class value of the human person is connected with the image of poor Lisa)

Why is “Poor Lisa” a work related to sentimentalism? (Since it traces allfeatures of sentimentalism: The main theme of the story is love; ideological basis - protest against the depravity of aristocratic society;

The story expresses an educational character, sharply contrasting the village with the city;

aesthetics is based on imitation of nature, idealization of patriarchal life;

heroes are more individualized; their feelings become the central aesthetic category of the story; the idyllic life of the heroine - in the lap of nature; spiritual world the commoner is rich, in her there is a cult of innate moral purity; the author presents the heroine in the movements of the soul, thoughts, feelings, aspirations).

Why did the reader fall in love with Karamzin’s story so much? (According to V.N. Toporov, “for the first time in Russian literature, literary prose created such an image of authentic life, which was perceived as stronger, sharper and more convincing than life itself.”)

Thus, on the pages of the story, the author talks about different types of love: on the one hand, love-friendship, on the other, love-passion, thereby showing the many faces of this feeling and, as it were, making it clear that it can be both beautiful and dangerous.

Compare the image of the heroine in N. M. Karamzin’s story “Poor Liza” and in his poem “The Choice of the Groom.”
V. Lesson summary. Grading. Homework: Letter to the hero (Liza or Erast)

Analysis of the work

This story is one of the first sentimental works in Russian XVIII literature century. Its plot was not new, as it had been encountered more than once by domestic and foreign novelists. But feelings play a decisive role in Karamzin’s story.

One of the main characters of the work is the narrator, who tells the story with immense sadness and... sympathy for the fate of the girl. The introduction of the image of a sentimental narrator turned out to be Karamzin’s innovation in Russian literature, since previously the narrator remained as if on the sidelines and was neutral in relation to the events described. Already the title of this story combines a proper name with a certain attitude of the author towards him. Karamzin’s plot develops in an unusual way; the ideological and artistic center is not the event and constancy of the characters, but their experiences, that is, the plot is psychological in nature.

The exposition of the work is a description of the outskirts of Moscow; the author recalls the times when this city was waiting for help in severe disasters.

The meeting begins

Lisa, a poor girl, with the young nobleman Erast.

The culmination is Lisa's chance meeting with Erast, during which he asks her to leave him alone because he is getting married.

The denouement is the death of Lisa. She chooses death in order to solve all problems, not to live deceived and abandoned by her loved one. For Lisa, life without Erast does not exist.

It was very important for the sentimentalist writer to address social issues. The author does not condemn Erast for the death of Lisa. After all, a young nobleman is just as unhappy as a peasant girl. For the rest of his life he feels guilty about Lisa, his own life path didn't work out.

Karamzin was one of the first in Russian literature to discover the subtle and vulnerable inner world representatives of the lower class, as well as the ability to love unselfishly and selflessly. It is from his story that another tradition of Russian literature begins - compassion for ordinary people, sympathy for their joys and experiences, protection of the disadvantaged and oppressed. Thus, we can say that Karamzin prepared the basis for the creativity of many writers of the XIX century.

Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766-1826) one of the largest Russian writers of the times of sentimentalism. He was called "Russian Stern". Historian, creator of the first generalizing historical work “History of the Russian State” in 12 volumes.

History of the creation of the work

Wherever the name of N.M. Karamzin appears, his story “Poor Liza” immediately comes to mind. Having glorified the young poet, it is one of the brightest works in Russian. This work is considered the first sentimental story that brought fame and popularity to the author.

In 1792, Nikolai Karamzin, who was 25 years old, worked as the editor of the Moscow Journal. The story “Poor Liza” was first published in it. According to contemporaries, at that time Karamzin lived in the vicinity of the Simonov Monastery at Beketov’s dacha. He knew those places well and transferred all their beauty to the pages of his work. Sergius Pond, allegedly dug by S. Radonezh, subsequently became the center of attention for couples in love who came there for walks. Later the pond was renamed “Lizin Pond”.

Literary direction

Since the end of the 17th century, an era with its own clear rules and boundaries of genres has triumphed. Therefore, the sentimentalism that replaced it, with its sensuality and simplicity of presentation, close to simple speech, took literature to a new level. With his story N. Karamzin laid the foundation for noble sentimentalism. He did not advocate the abolition of serfdom, but at the same time showed all the humanity and beauty of the lower class.

Genre

Karamzin is the creator of a short novel - a “sensitive story”. Before this, multi-volume works were widespread in the 18th century. “Poor Liza” is the first psychological story based on a moral conflict.

Creative method and style

The innovative approach in the story is the very image of the narrator. The narration is told on behalf of the author, a person who is not indifferent to the fate of the main characters. His empathy and participation are conveyed in the manner of presentation, which makes the story comply with all the laws of sentimentalism. The narrator sympathizes with the characters, worries about them and does not condemn anyone, although during the course of the story he gives vent to his emotions and writes that he is ready to curse Erast, that he is crying, that his heart is bleeding. Describing the thoughts and feelings of his characters, the author addresses them, argues with them, suffers with them - all this was also new in literature and also corresponded to the poetics of sentimentalism.

Karamzin was also able to show the landscape in a new way. Nature in the work is no longer just a background, it harmonizes and corresponds to the feelings that the heroes of the story experience. Becomes the active artistic force of the work. So, after Erast’s declaration of love, all nature rejoices with Lisa: the birds are singing, the sun is shining brightly, the flowers are fragrant. When the young people were unable to resist the call of passion, a storm roared as a menacing warning, and rain poured from the black clouds.

Problems of the work

• Social: the story of lovers belonging to different social strata, despite all the beauty and tenderness of feelings, leads to tragedy, and not to the happy ending that is accustomed to in old novels.
• Philosophical: the struggle of the mind with strong natural feelings.
• Moral: moral conflict of the story. Wonderful feelings between the peasant woman Lisa and the nobleman Erast. As a result, after short moments of happiness, the sensitivity of the heroes leads Lisa to death, and Erast remains unhappy and will forever reproach himself for Lisa’s death; It was he, according to the narrator, who told him this story and showed Liza’s grave.

Characteristics of heroes

Lisa. The main character is a peasant girl. The author showed her true image, which is not similar to the general idea of ​​peasant women: “a beautiful villager in body and soul,” “tender and sensitive Lisa,” a loving daughter of her parents. She works, protects her mother from worry, without showing her suffering and tears. Even in front of the pond, Lisa remembers her mother. She decides to take a fatal action, confident that she helped her mother in any way she could: she gave her the money. After meeting Erast, Lisa dreamed that her lover would be born a simple shepherd. This emphasizes the unselfishness of her soul, as well as the fact that she really looked at things and understood that there could be nothing in common between a peasant woman and a nobleman.

Erast. In the novel his image corresponds social society, in which he grew up. A wealthy nobleman with the rank of officer who led wild life in search of joy in secular amusements. But not finding what he wanted, he was bored and complained about fate. Karamzin in the image of Erast showed a new type of hero - a disappointed aristocrat. He was not a “cunning seducer” and sincerely fell in love with Lisa. Erast is also a victim of tragedy, and he has his own punishment. Subsequently, many more heroes of works of Russian literature are presented in the image of “ extra person", weak and unadapted to life. The author emphasizes that Erast was a kind person by nature, but a weak and flighty person. He was dreamy, imagined life in pink color, having read novels and lyric poems. Therefore, his love did not stand the test of real life.

Lisa's mother. The image of Lisa's mother often remains out of sight, since the reader's attention is focused on the main acting persons. Nevertheless, we should not forget that Karamzin’s famous words “even peasant women know how to love” refer not to Lisa, but to her mother. It was she who devotedly loved her Ivan, lived with him in happiness and harmony for many years and took his death very hard. The only thing that kept her on earth was her daughter, whom she could not leave alone, so she dreams of marrying Lisa off in order to be calm about her future. The old woman cannot stand the grief that befalls her - the news of Lisa's suicide - and dies.

Plot and composition

All the events of the story take place over three months. However, the author talks about them as events that happened thirty years ago. In addition to the psychology of the characters, which is revealed to the smallest detail in the story, the ending is also influenced by external events that pushed the main character to take a decisive step.

The story begins and ends with a description of the surroundings of the Simonov Monastery, which remind the narrator of the deplorable fate of poor Lisa. Near her grave, he likes to sit thoughtfully under the shade of trees and look at the pond. This description was made by Karamzin so accurately and picturesquely that a pilgrimage of fans of the story to the monastery began, a search for the place where the hut was, a search for Lisa’s grave, etc. Readers believed that this story really happened in reality.

What was new and unusual in the story was that instead of the expected (according to usual novels) happy ending, the reader encountered the bitter truth of life.

As Karamzin said about the story “Poor Liza”: “The fairy tale is not very complicated.” Erast, a young, rich nobleman, falls in love with the daughter of a settler, Lisa. But due to class inequality, their marriage is impossible. He is looking for a friend in her, but friendly communication develops into deeper mutual feelings. But he quickly lost interest in the girl. While in the army, Erast loses his fortune and, in order to improve his financial situation, marries a rich elderly widow. Having accidentally met Erast in the city, Lisa decides that his heart belongs to someone else. Unable to come to terms with this, Lisa drowns herself in the very pond near which they once met. Erast remains unhappy until the end of his days; he suffers from the pangs of repentance for many years and reveals this story to the narrator a year before his death. “Now maybe they have already reconciled!” - Karamzin concludes his story with these words.

Meaning of the work

N. M. Karamzin, having created “Poor Liza,” laid the foundation for a cycle of literature about “little people.” Created a modern literary language, which was spoken not only by nobles, but also by peasants. Bringing the story closer to colloquial speech, which further added reality and intimacy to the reader to the plot.

Working with the story “Poor Lisa” is designed for two lessons. It begins with the words of Karamzin: “They say that the author needs talent and knowledge: a sharp, insightful mind, a vivid imagination, and so on. Fair, but not enough. He needs to have a kind, gentle heart if he wants to be a friend and favorite of our soul...” From the epigraph we move on to reflections on the essence of love. The guys read prepared statements about love that reflect their life positions, argue their point
Tatyana Alekseevna IGNATENKO (1983) - teacher of Russian language and literature. Lives in the village of Novominskaya, Kanevsky district, Krasnodar region. Working with the story “Poor Lisa” is designed for two lessons. It begins with the words of Karamzin: “They say that the author needs talent and knowledge: a sharp, insightful mind, a vivid imagination, and so on. Fair, but not enough. He needs to have a kind, gentle heart if he wants to be a friend and favorite of our soul...” From the epigraph we move on to reflections
Karamzin described the relationship between Lisa and Erast in pastoral, idyllic tones, emphasizing that the tragic end of their relationship was the result of the prevailing circumstances and the frivolous nature of the protagonist, and the reason was not at all social inequality. Erast is a “rather rich nobleman” with a “kind by nature,” but a “weak and flighty heart.” “He led a distracted life, thinking only about his own pleasure.” At first, Erast thought only about “pure joys” and wanted to “live with Liza like brother and sister,”
The farewell scene between Lisa and Erast is very touching. It is permeated with the bitterness of separation and tenderness. In this episode you can feel the emotions of the characters, their love, but at the same time the fact that their happiness cannot be returned. In describing this scene, N.M. Karamzin is laconic. The heroes are full of despair before separation, and the reader sees this in their actions: “Liza sobbed - Erast cried - left her - she fell - knelt down, raised her hands to
Karamzin's story "Poor Liza", written in 1792 and dedicated to love theme, the story of two loving hearts, gained particular popularity among contemporaries. His heroes seek happiness in love, but they are surrounded by a big and cruel world with its inhuman and terrible laws. This world deprives Karamzin’s heroes of happiness, makes them victims, brings them constant suffering and dooms them to death. Lisa lived with her mother in the Moscow region, in a small house on the banks of the Moscow River, nearby
The simple plot of "Poor Liza", its simple-minded heroes, and most importantly - its overly "sensitive" style seem today too archaic to arouse interest among the general public. However, such ideas are refuted by the film of the same name, shot in 1998 by the famous American-Russian director Slava Tsukerman and noted by several prestigious awards. The mentioned director became convinced that the story told by Karamzin is capable of attracting keen attention today even at the stage of thinking about the future film, when his acquaintances shared
The poetics of sentimentalism differed from the poetics of classicism, a style that preceded sentimentalism. In the works of classicism, the heroes are assigned a certain role: they are either positive or negative. In "Poor Liza" the heroes are endowed with both traits. Lisa is kind, loves her mother and takes care of her, sincerely loves Erast, but does not follow Christian tradition, cannot maintain his chastity and falls into sin (from the point of view of the church). Erast is sensitive, kind, but flighty and fickle. However, he doesn't

Work on completing tasks in groups for 5-7 minutes.

Group performance.

Students listen to messages by filling out columns 2 and 3 of the Logbook.

That is why the story “Poor Liza” was extremely popular, despite the simple plot, which was far from new. A similar situation was considered in many works before and after Karamzin.

The public found in the work compassion for poor people, sympathy for victims of passion, understanding of sin itself and non-condemnation of it. It is imbued with respect for people and evokes noble feelings. One of Karamzin’s contemporaries testified: “We felt all the sweetness of participation and, despite the flowing tears, our hearts secretly admired, seeing ourselves capable of this.” Readers, like the author of the story, shed “tears of tender sorrow” about Lisa.

"Poor Lisa" became the first national work, whose heroes could be empathized with in the same way as the heroes of Rousseau or Goethe.

Let us, readers of the 21st century, hear the author’s voice and try to understand the heroes of the story, expressing to them our compassion and empathy

4.Comprehension stage. Analysis of the story "Poor Lisa".

What is the plot and composition of the story?

(The plot is based on social conflict. The aristocratic hero Erast is contrasted with a simple peasant girl. His love for Lisa was short-lived; he leaves the seduced girl and tries to buy her off with money. Lisa is shocked by what happened. Hopeless love, feelings of resentment, annoyance and guilt towards mother created a strong emotional intensity - “the most terrible heartache.” The thought of suicide arises in her mind. the only possibility overcome the contradiction that has arisen between her love and Erast’s dislike for her. “And peasant women know how to love” - the idea of ​​the story is largely connected with these words. However, Karamzin showed not only the disastrous consequences of class inequality. The story warns young people from committing rash acts and fosters a sense of responsibility). This was innovative at the time.

From whom is the story told? Who tells the narrator about Lisa's love and death? Why? What is the role of the narrator?

Slide 4. Lisa

Lisa's life in her parents' house before meeting Erast.

What did her father and mother teach her? What are her main character traits? What epithets does Karamzin give to his heroine? How does Karamzin show the development of the heroine’s feelings, because for sentimentalism it is important to show the human personality in the movements of the soul?

Reading by role of the episode “Lisa’s first meeting with Erast.”

Examples from the text about the development of the heroine’s feelings.

(The writer emphasizes that Liza is simple, simple-minded, straightforward, like her virtuous mother. They love each other and live honestly. Karamzin calls on the reader to love little man, to a man from the people, in many ways idealizing the village, contrasting it with the depraved city. “Truth lives not in palaces, but in huts.” This statement of the writer taught to see a healthy moral principle in the people).

Slide 5.

How helpful is the landscape to understanding the emotional state of the characters? Show with examples.

Slide 6. Erast

What does the reader learn about Erast before meeting Lisa?

What did the flaring up feeling mean for Lisa and for Erast, who had already tasted “secular fun”?

When and why did Erast’s attitude towards Lisa change?

Reading by episode roles " Last meeting Erast with Lisa."

Does he condemn Erast?

(Erast himself is sensitive and dreams of immaculate love. Sensuality and innocence become the cause of tragedy. Lisa loses her innocence, and after her fall she loses her halo in Erast’s eyes. Nothing stopped Erast from living a bad life anymore).

Slide 7. Lisa's suicide. The author's attitude towards the characters.

(The narrator mourns overly sensitive heroes. But he himself is not disappointed in the sentimental ideal. He retained the belief that heightened sensitivity is for the good of people. The story of Erast and Lisa is valuable to him because it encourages compassion. Karamzin is not a moralist, but an artist. He is not afraid to show the contradictions of his favorite idea.In certain situations, the life of the heart leads to trouble. The reader must draw his own conclusion.
