Life story

Pavel Petrovich was brought up in the page corps. Having become an officer, he enjoyed great success in the world: Kirsanov was self-confident, mocking and “amusingly bilious.” Women liked him, easily had affairs, and aroused the envy of men. At twenty-seven he was already a captain, waiting for him brilliant career. And suddenly everything changed. A woman appeared in St. Petersburg society who became fatal for Kirsanov.

Pavel Petrovich fell passionately in love with Princess R., who was known in the world as a frivolous coquette. However, love did not bring Kirsanov happiness: having initially reciprocated his feelings, Princess R. soon lost interest in him. However, this obstacle did not stop the hero. For many years he tried to maintain this relationship; for many years this withering, debilitating passion did not give him peace.

Having become painfully attached to Princess R., Kirsanov could never understand her; he was struck by her strangeness, imbalance, something cherished and inaccessible” in her soul, where no one could penetrate. After tender meetings, he felt only “tearing and bitter disappointment” in his heart. Having parted with Princess R., Kirsanov tried to live his old, familiar life, but he could no longer get back into the old rut. He grew old, turned grey, and no longer thought about novels. Soon Pavel Petrovich and his brother settled in Maryino. At the end of his life he moved to Dresden, where he lived out his life alone.

Kirsanov has a number of advantages: he is intellectual, insightful, noble, has a strong-willed character (Pavel Petrovich does not have a truly strong-willed character - his high liberal principles about freedom and equality remain in words (although who said that a person with a strong-willed character must be a liberal?), but in terms of the strength of his character he is truly a worthy rival to Bazarov).

Answers to the test based on the novel by I.S. Turgenev "Fathers and Sons"

Answers to test option 2

What was the idea behind the novel Fathers and Sons? How was the socio-political struggle of the 60s of the 19th century reflected in it? Did they coincide in in this case the writer’s intentions and the objective meaning of his work?

“My whole story is directed against the nobility as an advanced class,” argued I. S. Turgenev. In Bazarovo he pictured an extraordinary, titanic figure, growing from the soil of the people, but lonely and therefore doomed to death. The author conceived the main conflict of the novel as a conflict of ideologies: the moderate liberal position of the “fathers” and the extreme left views of nihilists (read revolutionaries, the author notes). The writer wanted to show the triumph of democracy over the aristocracy, but was sure of the defeat of the revolutionaries. Therefore, he categorically objected to the revolutionary conclusions made by Dobrolyubov after reading Fathers and Sons, and because of this he broke with his dear Sovremennik. The writer, who served “the revolution with the heartfelt meaning of his works” (from the proclamation of the People’s Volunteers), turned out to be wrong: the objective meaning of his novel outgrew the concept and turned out to be broader and more convincing than Turgenev had imagined.

What is the main conflict in Fathers and Sons? Does the novel show the struggle of two generations or two ideologies?
Which of the characters in the novel immediately attracts attention and evokes sympathy? Who can be called a hero of his time? Why do you think so?
What does the generation of “fathers” (the Kirsanov brothers, Vasily Ivanovich Bazarov) look like in Turgenev’s image? What do you think about their attitude towards to the younger generation? Does the author sympathize with them or despise them?
What is the essence of ideological disputes between “fathers” and “children”? Whose side is Turgenev on?
Why do you think Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov became Bazarov’s main opponent? What does the duel scene characterize each of them?
What are Bazarov's views? What attracts (or repulses) him? Why does Turgenev show him alone not only in the camp of the “fathers”, but also among the “children”?
Prove that Bazarov is a fighter and thinker. What is the essence of Bazarov's nihilism? Does he have the moral right to call himself self-destructive?

Bazarov has the character of a fighter. He never backs down in an argument with ideological opponents, does not change his beliefs, most often developed through experience. His aphorisms, often controversial, are the result of a lot of mental work. Bazarov's nihilism is not denial for the sake of denial, but firm belief that “science “in general” does not exist at all,” that one must look at everything critically, check the results of one’s research in the laboratory, etc. Bazarov is confident that “every person must educate himself,” and cites himself as an example . He has the right to call himself “self-deluded” because he never gives in to his weaknesses and fearlessly defends what he considers true.

How does Bazarov feel about his parents? Why can’t there be spiritual intimacy between them?
It is known that the test of love is a difficult exam for Turgenev’s heroes. How does Bazarov reveal himself in love? How does Turgenev show the sincerity and strength of his hero’s feelings? Is Anna Sergeevna Odintsova worthy of his love?
“To die the way Bazarov died is the same as having accomplished a great feat.” Do you agree with this opinion of D.I. Pisarev? Why do you think the novel ends with the picture of Bazarov’s death? How does D.I. Pisarev answer this question? Why did Turgenev call Bazarov a “tragic face”?
What is the role of landscape in Fathers and Sons?
Why does Arkady belong to the camp of the “fathers”?

Arkady in the epilogue “has become a zealous owner,” his “farm brings in significant income.” This suggests that the influence

How are the ideological views of the characters revealed in the novel “Fathers and Sons” by I.S. Turgenev?

Bazarov quickly disappeared - after all, Arkady, despite the search social ideal outside the ideology of the nobility, he remained a “liberal gentleman.” He is the keeper of the traditions of the “fathers” not only in relation to culture. The ideological views of the heroes of I.S. Turgenev are most fully revealed in the disputes between the Kirsanovs and Bazarov.

Describe the portrait of Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov.

Pavel Petrovich Kirsanov is an aristocrat, which is emphasized by his beautiful white hands “with long pink nails”, “English suit, fashionable low ties”, “amazing collars”. He speaks with emphasized refined politeness, slightly tilting his head.

Which principles of Bazarov cannot stand up to a dispute with life?

Bazarov's nihilistic attitude towards love is shattered by his own feelings for Odintsova. For the first time, he realizes that he is powerless to give up love for the sake of reason, that he becomes dependent on a woman whose words, glance, and manners arouse in him a storm of irresistible passions. After defeat in a love match, Bazarov loses optimism and comes to gloomy discussions about the insignificance of man in the face of eternity.

How do you understand the meaning of the word “nihilist”?

The concept of “nihilism” by I.S. Turgenev introduced into the Russian language as a designation for the system of views of the “new people” who entered the Russian social life from the late 50s of the 19th century. Nihilism is a simplified, crudely materialistic understanding of life, in which rational, experienced knowledge through natural sciences, religion, art, beauty, morality are denied as useless in society. “We act because of what we recognize as useful. At the present time, the most useful thing is denial - we deny.”

What is the weakness of Bazarov’s position?Material from the site
The weakness of Bazarov's position lies in the total denial of everything that goes beyond the scope of empirical knowledge: art, the beauty of nature, love, religion.

His materialism is superficial and crude, identifying physiology and morality (“each of us has a brain, spleen, heart, and lungs that are constructed in the same way,” which means that we all have the same “moral qualities”). Bazarov has no loyal supporters, he is alone, and therefore doomed.
