What wins in Oblomov mind or feelings. “The main thing in a person is not the mind, but what controls it - the heart, good feelings ...” (Based on Goncharov’s novel “Oblomov”)

People are driven by different impulses. Sometimes they are driven by sympathy, a warm attitude, and they forget about the voice of reason. You can divide humanity into two halves. Some people constantly analyze their behavior, they are used to thinking through every step. Such individuals are practically not amenable to deception. However, it is extremely difficult for them to arrange their personal lives. Because from the moment they meet a potential soulmate, they begin to look for benefits and try to derive a formula perfect match. Therefore, noticing such a mindset, others move away from them.

Others are completely subject to the call of feelings. During love, it is difficult to notice even the most obvious realities. Therefore, they are often deceived and suffer greatly from this.

The complexity of the relationship between representatives of different sexes is that on different stages relations, a man and a woman use a reasonable approach too much, or vice versa, they trust the choice of a course of action to the heart.

The presence of fiery feelings, of course, distinguishes humanity from the animal world, but without iron logic and some calculation it is impossible to build a cloudless future.

There are many examples of people suffering because of their feelings. They are vividly described in Russian and world literature. An example is the work of Leo Tolstoy "Anna Karenina". If the main character had not fallen in love recklessly, but had trusted the voice of reason, she would have remained alive, and the children would not have to experience the death of their mother.

Both reason and feelings must be present in consciousness in approximately equal proportions, then there is a chance for absolute happiness. Therefore, one should not refuse in some situations the wise advice of older and more intelligent mentors and relatives. Exists folk wisdom: "A smart person learns from the mistakes of others, and a fool learns from his own." If you draw the correct conclusion from this expression, you can humble the impulses of your feelings in some cases, which can adversely affect fate.

Although sometimes it is very difficult to make an effort on yourself. Especially if sympathy for a person overwhelms. Some feats and self-sacrifices are made from Great love to faith, country, own duty. If the armies used only cold calculation, they would hardly raise their banners over the conquered heights. It is not known how the Great Patriotic War if not for the love of the Russian people for their land, relatives and friends.

Composition 2 option

Mind or feelings? Or maybe something else? Can reason be combined with feelings? This is the question every person asks himself. When you are faced with two opposites, one side screams, choose the mind, the other screams that you can’t go anywhere without feelings. And you don't know where to go and what to choose.

Intelligence necessary thing in life, thanks to him we can think about the future, make our plans and achieve our goals. Thanks to our mind, we become more successful, but it is the feelings that make people out of us. Feelings are not inherent in everyone and they are different, both positive and negative, but it is they that make us do unimaginable things.

Sometimes, thanks to feelings, people perform such unrealistic actions that it took years to achieve this with the help of reason. So what to choose? Everyone chooses for himself, having chosen the mind, a person will follow one path and, perhaps, be happy, choosing feelings, a completely different road promises a person. No one can predict in advance whether it will be good for him from the chosen path or not, we can draw conclusions only at the end. As to the question whether the mind and the senses can cooperate with each other, I think they can. People can love each other, but understand that in order to create a family, they need money, and for this they need to work or study. Here in this case mind and senses work together.

It seems to me that these two concepts only start working together when you grow up. As long as a person is small, he has to choose between two roads, little man it is very difficult to find points of contact between reason and feeling. Thus, a person always faces a choice, every day he has to fight with it, because sometimes the mind can help in difficult situation, and sometimes feelings are pulled out of a position where the mind would be powerless.

Brief essay

Many believe that the mind and feelings are two things that are not at all compatible friend with a friend. But to me, they are two parts of the same whole. There are no feelings without reason and vice versa. Everything we feel, we think about, and sometimes when we think, feelings appear. These are two parts that create an idyll. If at least one of the components is missing, then all actions will be in vain.

For example, when people fall in love, they must turn on their mind, since it is he who can evaluate the whole situation and tell the person whether he made the right choice.

The mind helps not to make a mistake in serious situations, and feelings are sometimes able to intuitively suggest the right path, even if it seems unrealistic. Mastering the two components of one whole is not as easy as it sounds. On life path you will have to face considerable difficulties until you yourself learn to control and find the right facet of these components. Of course, life is not perfect and sometimes it is necessary to turn off one thing.

You can't always balance. Sometimes you need to trust your feelings and make a leap forward, this will be an opportunity to feel life in all its colors, regardless of whether the choice is right or not.

What is the power of human feeling? The power of feelings is unusually great. Power can change a person: awaken his best or worst sides. So strong feeling is love (faith, fear): it resurrects and kills, forgives and hates, spiritualizes and devastates. The world is filled with the power of love from birth to death: mother's love knows no boundaries, the depth of feelings between a man and a woman is difficult to describe in words; love for creativity shows the strength of the individual, for animals - sensitivity and mercy. This topic has worried many generations and still remains important and significant in the life of every person. Examples of the manifestation of the power of human feeling are often found in the works of Russian classical literature.

thesis Let us recall the work of A.I. Kuprin "Olesya". This story shows the power of love. main character: her selflessness, sincerity, spirituality.

illustration Olesya grew up in the forest, she knew the peculiarities of life in the wild, she was alien to the petty problems of the inhabitants of Polesye. Her meeting with Ivan Timofeevich took place in early spring, nature itself blessed their love. Olesya knew that their feelings were doomed, that she would have to suffer greatly, but she did not refuse her love, did not exchange it for peace. Olesya's magic is not in witchcraft, as she thought, but in amazing sincerity, depth of feelings. Knowing the deer heart of her chosen one, the girl accepted all his weaknesses, without reproaching, without condemning. Olesya really wanted to keep her love, but fate cannot be changed! The decision taken by Olesya is admirable. She went to church, hoping to change the predestination, thereby saving their feelings. She takes full responsibility. Only a person who has huge force love! Unfortunately, the inhabitants of Polissya treated her extremely cruelly: they beat her, smeared them with tar. Olesya is forced to leave, but not once does she accuse Ivan Timofeevich of anything, gratitude and still love sound in her words.

Mini-conclusion The amazing power of Olesya's love lies in the ability to give, not to take, in self-sacrifice.


In Goncharov's novel, several types of ideal people are deduced.

In the first part of the novel, we see a sloth lying on a sofa in a dusty room. And, of course, we cannot say that Oblomov is the ideal man. He does not live in harmony with his consciousness, with his heart and with the outside world.

Stoltz is another matter. 11a against the background of the motionless and constantly lying Oblomov, Stolz is an ideal. He is in constant motion, does not stop at something achieved. He achieved everything himself and from a poor boy turned into a successful businessman. Such a person will never be superfluous for society. Already in the Stolz-child one could see the Stolz of today. He is a harmonious personality, which was facilitated by his upbringing. His German father taught him to work and achieve everything on his own, and his mother brought up spirituality in him.

Unlike Oblomov, in Stolz reason, consciousness and coldness prevail over feelings, the heart. Oblomov is a dreamer, but Stolz does not like and is afraid to dream. Therefore, it is ideal only from the point of view of the new society. Stolz is a sober-minded person, but there is no poetry or romance in him. And this already speaks of some "inferiority", that not in everything this person can serve as a role model.

Moreover, we cannot call Oblomov's ideal. Especially when you first meet him. But suddenly - a miracle! Olga appeared. And we no longer recognize the former Oblomov, because his true soul finally wakes up in him. Oblomov the sloth turns into Oblomov moving, wanting to live, to sing, into Oblomov the poet. At this moment, perhaps, the Stolz-ideal ceases to exist for us and the Oblomov-ideal appears. We begin to see not a sloth, but a great creator, poet, writer. But now Oblomov is overwhelmed only with feelings that are ready to splash out at any moment, consciousness has ceased to exist in him. And again, we cannot say that Oblomov is an absolute ideal. Perhaps only by connecting Stolz and Oblomov, you can get what Olga is looking for.

Separately, Stolz and Oblomov can also be perfect, but with different points vision. The problem of these two ideals, on the one hand, is that Stolz restrains his feelings too much, and on the other hand, that Oblomov, on the contrary, cannot restrain his feelings and his passions.

Another heroine of the novel, who claims to be ideal, is Olga. I think that Olga is the real ideal. Both feelings and consciousness are balanced in her, although she is closer to Oblomov than to Stolz. Olga is almost perfect, and therefore it is to her that Goncharov transfers the role of an educator and preacher. She must awaken the real Oblomov. For a moment, she succeeds. But Olga constantly wants something new, she constantly has to transform, create. For her, the main thing is duty. She saws her purpose in re-educating Oblomov.

Olga, unlike Oblomov and Stolz, will never calm down, she is constantly moving, she cannot stand still. Perhaps Olga's problem is her incessant movement. She herself does not know what she wants, does not know her ultimate goal, but strives for it.

From everything written, we can conclude that, in fact, all the main characters of the novel are ideal. But they are perfect in every way. In Oblomov - the ideal of a poet, in Stolz - the ideal of a sober-minded person, in Olga - the ideal of a person who is aware of his duty. Oblomov is ideal for Pshenitsyna and Oblomovka. And Stolz and Olga are ideal for society. A harmonious personality is not Stolz, not Oblomov, not Olga in particular. That's all of them put together.

Collection of essays: Mind and heart in the fate of the heroes of the novel by I. A. Goncharov "Oblomov"

Mind and heart are two substances, often having nothing in common with each other and even conflicting with each other. Why do some people tend to weigh their every decision and look for a logical justification in everything, while others do their actions solely on a whim, as their heart tells them? Many writers thought about this, for example, Leo Tolstoy, who gave great importance what guides his characters in their actions. At the same time, he did not hide the fact that he nicer people"souls". It seems to me that I. A. Goncharov, paying tribute to the work of the mind in his heroes, appreciated the work of the heart in them more.

N. A. Dobrolyubov considered feature Goncharov as an artist that "he is not amazed by one side of the object, by one moment of the event, but rotates the object from all sides, waits for the completion of all moments of the phenomenon."

The characters of the characters are revealed in the novel with all their inherent contradictions. So, the main character, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, has a lot of shortcomings - he is lazy, apathetic, inert. However, he also has positive features. Nature fully endowed Oblomov with the ability to think and feel. Dobrolyubov wrote about it this way: "Oblomov is not a stupid apathetic nature, without aspirations and feelings, but a person who is also looking for something in his life, thinking about something" -.

The novel speaks more than once about the kindness, kindness, conscientiousness of Oblomov. Introducing us to his hero, Goncharov writes that his softness “was the dominant and main expression, not only of his face, but of his whole soul.” And further: “A superficially observant, cold person, glancing casually at Oblomov, would say: must be, simplicity!" A deeper and more sympathetic person, peering into his face for a long time, would walk away in pleasant thought, with a smile. What could cause people to smile thoughtfully at the mere sight of this man? I think this is due to the feeling of warmth, cordiality and poetry of Oblomov's nature: "His heart, like a well, is deep."

Stolz - a man completely opposite in temperament - admires spiritual qualities friend. "There is no heart purer, brighter and simpler!" - he exclaims. Stolz and Oblomov have been friends since childhood. They love each other very much, but at the same time there is a certain internal conflict between them. Even, rather, not a conflict, but a dispute between two absolutely different people. One of them is active and practical, and the other is lazy and careless. Stoltz is constantly horrified by the lifestyle of his friend. He tries with all his might to help Oblomov, to pull him out of this swamp of idleness, which mercilessly sucks him into his depths. Stolz - faithful and devoted friend Oblomov, ready to help him in word and deed. It seems to me that only truly kind people are capable of this. Therefore, I am not inclined to consider Stolz only as a rationalist and pragmatist. In my opinion, Stolz - a kind person, and he is active in his kindness, and does not get off with sympathy alone. Oblomov is different. He, of course, "is not alien to universal human sorrows, the pleasures of high thoughts are available to him." But in order to bring these lofty thoughts to life, you need to at least get off the couch. Oblomov is no longer capable of this.

The reason for the complete dissimilarity of the characters of the two friends is their completely different upbringing. Little Ilyusha Oblomov was from childhood surrounded by boundless love, affection and exorbitant care. Parents tried to protect him not only from some troubles, but also from all types of activities. Even in order to put on stockings, it was necessary to call Zakhar. Education was also not given much importance, and as a result, the naturally gifted boy had irreparable gaps in education for the rest of his life. His curiosity was ruined, but the measured and calm life in Oblomovka awakened dreaminess and gentleness in him. The soft Ilyusha Oblomov was also influenced by Central Russian nature with the leisurely flow of rivers, with the great calmness of fields and vast forests.

Andrei Stolz was brought up in a completely different way. His education was handled by a German father, who took his son's deep knowledge very seriously. He sought to educate Andryusha, above all, industriousness. Stolz began to study at early childhood: sat with his father over geographical map, analyzed biblical verses, taught Krylov's fables. From the age of 14-15, he already independently traveled with his father's orders, and carried them out accurately, never confusing anything.

If we talk about education, then, of course, Stolz went far ahead of his friend. But as for the natural mind, Oblomov was not at all deprived of it. Stolz tells Olga that in Oblomov "there is no less intelligence than others, only buried, he is littered with all sorts of rubbish and fell asleep in idleness."

Olga, it seems to me, fell in love with Oblomov precisely in his soul. And although Oblomov betrayed their love, unable to break out of the shackles of familiar life, Olga never managed to forget him. She was already married to Stolz and, it would seem, lived happily, but she kept asking herself, “what does it ask for from time to time, what does the soul search for, but only asks and searches for something, even as if, it’s scary to say, it yearns.” I understand where her soul was torn - towards the same dear and close soul. Stolz, for all his virtues - intelligence, energy and determination - could not give Olga the happiness that she experienced with Oblomov. Oblomov, despite all his laziness, inertia and other shortcomings, left an indelible mark on the soul of an outstanding and talented woman.

Thus, after reading the novel, the impression remains that Goncharov is closer to Oblomov with his rich and tender soul. Ilya Ilyich had an amazing property: he knew how to arouse the love of others, seemingly without giving anything in return. But thanks to him, people discovered their best qualities in themselves: gentleness, kindness, poetry. This means that people like Oblomov are necessary, if only to make this world more beautiful and richer.

"ordinary story"and" Oblomov "the last novel occupies a special place and is the most famous.

Briefly about the novel

The idea of ​​a new work was formed by Goncharov as early as 1847, but the reader had to wait another 10 years for the appearance of this novel, which was published in its entirety in 1859 and brought great success to the author. A feature of this work is that Ivan Andreevich for the first time in domestic literature considered the life of a person from birth to death. The hero himself, his life - main topic works, therefore it is named after his last name - "Oblomov". It belongs to the category of “talkers”, since its carrier, “a kind of decrepit fragment”, reminds us famous hero epics by Ilya Muromets, who lay on the stove until the age of 33 (when we meet Oblomov, he was also about 32-33 years old). However, the epic hero, after getting up from the stove, did many great things, and Ilya Ilyich remained lying on the sofa. Goncharov uses the repetition of the name and patronymic, as if emphasizing that life goes in an established circle, the son repeats the fate of his father.

Love in the novel "Oblomov", as in many other Russian novels, is one of the main themes. Here, as in many works, it is the spiritual development of the characters. Let's analyze in detail Oblomov's love in the novel Oblomov.

Love for Olga

Let's start our discussion with the relationship between Ilya Ilyich and Olga. Love in the life of Oblomov, short description the relationship between the characters, which we present to you in this article, can be divided into two parts: the feelings of Ilya Ilyich for Olga Ilyinskaya and for Agafya Matveevna.

Olga was the first lover of the protagonist. Feelings for Olga bring him happiness, enliven, at the same time making him suffer, because with the departure of love, Oblomov loses his desire to live.

A bright feeling for Olga comes to the hero suddenly and completely absorbs him. It ignites his passive soul, for which such violent shocks were new. Oblomov is used to burying all his feelings somewhere deep in the subconscious, and love awakens them, revives him to a new life.

Never thinking that he could fall in love with a girl like Olga, the hero with his romantic and bright soul falls passionately in love with her.

Is this true love

Olga manages to change the character of Ilya Ilyich - to beat boredom and laziness out of him. For the sake of his beloved, he is ready to change: to refuse an afternoon nap, from dinner, to read books. However, this does not mean that Ilya Ilyich really wanted this. The hero is characterized by Oblomovism, his integral part.

In a dream, as you know, desires and motives hidden in the subconscious are revealed. Turning to the chapter, we see what this hero really needs. His companion should be a quiet domestic girl, but by no means Olga, striving for self-development and active life. And Oblomov writes to her that I "love" her - not real, but future love. And indeed, Olga loves not the one who is in front of her, but the one who he will become, having overcome his apathy and laziness. Noting warns Olga, writes that they need to leave and no longer meet. However, as Ilya Ilyich predicted in his letter (“you will be annoyed and ashamed of your mistake”), the heroine cheated on Oblomov, falling in love with Andrei Stolz. Does this mean that her love was only an introduction to a future romance, an expectation of real happiness? After all, she is selfless, pure, selfless. Olga believes that she really loves Oblomov.

Olga's love

At first, this heroine, who does not enjoy much attention among gentlemen, seems to us an adult child. However, it was she who was able to pull Oblomov out of the maelstrom of his inaction, at least for a while bringing him back to life. Stolz noticed her first. He joked, laughed, entertained the girl, advised the right books, in general, did not let her get bored. She was really interesting to him, but Andrei remained only a teacher and mentor. Oblomov, however, was attracted by her voice and the crease above her forehead, in which, in his words, "stubbornness nests." Olga, on the other hand, loves in Ilya Ilyich the mind, although crushed by "all sorts of rubbish" and asleep in idleness, as well as a pure, faithful heart. Presumptuous and bright, she dreamed that she would make the hero read newspapers, books, tell the news, discover true life and not let him doze off again. Oblomov fell in love when Olga sang Casta Diva at his first appointment with the Ilyinskys. A lilac branch mentioned several times on the pages of the novel, either on Olga's embroidery during a meeting in the park, or abandoned by the heroine and picked up by Ilya Ilyich, became a kind of symbol of their love.

End of the novel

But this love in Oblomov's novel was frightening for him, Oblomovism turns out to be stronger than such high and sincere feelings. She absorbs the desire to create and act - such an inappropriate image for Oblomov, and the lovers are forced to end the relationship without ceasing to love each other. The love of Olga and Oblomov was doomed from the very beginning. Olga Ilyinskaya and Ilya Ilyich family happiness, love, the meaning of life understood differently. If for the hero the relationship between a man and a woman is a passion, a disease, then for Olga it is a duty. Oblomov loved her sincerely and deeply, gave her all of himself, idolized her. In the feelings of the heroine, a consistent calculation was noticeable. She took Oblomov's life into her own hands, having agreed with Stolz. Despite her youth, she managed to discern in him a kind soul, open heart, "pigeon tenderness". At the same time, Olga liked the realization that she, an inexperienced young girl, would revive a man like Oblomov. The gap between them is inevitable and natural: they are too dissimilar natures. This Oblomov love story was thus completed. The thirst for a sleepy, serene state turned out to be more expensive than romantic happiness. Oblomov sees the ideal of existence as follows: "a man sleeps serenely."

New sweetheart

With her departure, the protagonist still does not find what to do with the formed one and again lies idle all day long and sleeps on his favorite sofa in St. Petersburg, in the house of the hostess Agafya Pshenitsyna. She attracted the hero with full bare elbows, neck and housekeeping. New sweetheart she was hardworking, but she did not differ in intelligence ("she looked at him stupidly and was silent"), but she cooked well and kept order.

New Oblomovka

Having got used to the measured and unhurried rhythm of the life of this mistress, over time Ilya Ilyich will subdue the impulses of his heart and begin again. All his desires, as before meeting with Olga, will be limited to food, sleep, empty rare conversations with the businesslike Agafya Matveevna. She is contrasted by the writer Olga: a faithful, kind wife, an excellent housewife, but she does not have the height of the soul. Ilya Ilyich, having plunged into the unpretentious semi-village life in the house of this hostess, seemed to have fallen into the former Oblomovka. Slowly and lazily dying in his soul, he falls in love with Pshenitsyna.

Lyubov Pshenitsyna

But what about Agafya Matveevna herself? Is that what her love is? No, she is devoted, selfless. In her feelings, the heroine is ready to drown, to give all the fruits of her labors, all her strength to Oblomov. For his sake, she sold some of her jewelry, gold chains and jewelry, when Tarantiev tricked Ilya Ilyich into paying him a large sum ten thousand per month. One gets the impression that Agafya Matveevna's entire former life passed in anticipation of the appearance of a person who can be taken care of like a son, who can be devotedly and selflessly loved. Main character the works are exactly like this: he is soft, kind - this touches the female heart, accustomed to the ignorance and rudeness of men; he is lazy - this allows you to take care of him and take care of him like a child.

Before Oblomov, Pshenitsyna did not live, but existed without thinking about anything. She was uneducated, even dumb. She was not interested in anything but housekeeping. However, in this she reached true perfection. Agafya was constantly on the move, realizing that there is always work. It contained the meaning and content of the whole life of the heroine. It was to this activity that Pshenitsyna owed the fact that she captured Ilya Ilyich. Gradually, after the beloved settled in her house, significant changes take place in the nature of this woman. Love Oblomov in the novel "Oblomov" contributes to the spiritual elevation of the heroine. It awakens glimpses of reflection, anxiety and, finally, love. She expresses it in her own way, caring for Ilya during his illness, taking care of the table and clothes, praying for his health.

new feelings

This love in Oblomov's life did not have the passion and sensuality that was present in relations with Olga. However, it was precisely such feelings that fully corresponded to "Oblomovism". It was this heroine who fixed her favorite "oriental robe", which Oblomov refused, falling in love with Olga.

If Ilyinskaya contributed to the spiritual development of Ilya Ilyich, then Pshenitsyna made his life more calm and carefree, without informing him of problems with money. He received care from her, but Olga wanted his development, she wanted him to communicate with people, appear in society, understand politics and discuss the news. The hero could not, and did not want to, do everything that Olga wanted, and therefore surrendered. And Agafya Matveevna created a new Oblomovka in St. Petersburg, caring for him and protecting him. Such love in Oblomov's novel for Pshenitsyna fully satisfied his needs. As well as in home Ilya Ilyich, on the Vyborg side the sound of knives was heard all the time.

Andrey Stolz's opinion

Andrei Stolz, Oblomov's friend, this love in Oblomov's life is incomprehensible. He was an active person, he was alien to the orders of Oblomovka, her lazy homeliness, and even more so the woman who had become coarse in her environment. Olga Ilyinskaya is the ideal of Stolz, romantic, subtle, wise. There is not a shadow of coquetry in her. Andrei offers Olga a hand and a heart - and she agrees. His feelings were disinterested and pure, he does not seek any benefit, despite the fact that he is a restless "dealer".

Ilya Ilyich about the life of Stolz

In turn, Ilya Ilyich does not understand the life of Andrei Stolz. The title character of the work continues the gallery " extra people", discovered by M.Yu. Lermontov and A.S. Pushkin. He avoids secular society, does not serve, leads an aimless life. Ilya Ilyich does not see any point in violent activity, because he does not consider it true manifestation the essence of man. He did not want a bureaucratic career, mired in papers, he also denies the high society, where everything is false, hardened by heart, hypocritical, there is neither free thought nor sincere feelings.

Marriage of Stolz and Olga

While the relationship between Oblomov and Pshenitsyna is close to life, natural, it should be noted that the marriage of Stolz and Olga is utopian. In this sense, Oblomov turns out, oddly enough, closer to reality than such a seemingly obvious realist Stolz. Andrei, together with his beloved, lives in the Crimea, in their house they find a place for things necessary for work, as well as romantic trinkets. Even in love, they are surrounded by perfect balance: passion subsided after marriage, but did not die out.

Olga's inner world

However, Stolz does not at all suspect what riches Olga's sublime soul conceals. She outgrew him spiritually, because she did not stubbornly strive for one specific goal, but saw different paths and chose independently which one to follow. Having chosen Stolz, she wanted to find an equal husband or even a life partner who was trying to subdue her with his strength. At first, Ilyinskaya really finds happiness in his face, but as they get to know each other better, she begins to realize that there is nothing special in such a life, that she is exactly the same as everyone else. Stolz lives exclusively by reason, not interested in anything other than business.

Footprint in Olga's soul

The love of Olga and Oblomov left a huge mark in the heart of the heroine. She sought to love and understand Oblomov's life, because for her life is love, and love is a duty, but she failed to do this. After marriage, Ilyinskaya feels in her life some features of Oblomov's former idyll, and this observation alarms the heroine, she does not want to live like this. However, the love of Stolz and Olga is the feelings of two developing people who help each other in everything, and they must certainly find a way out in order to continue searching for their own path.

Ilya Ilyich

In order to characterize the main character as a whole, as well as love in Oblomov's life, quotes from the text can be given in different ways. The next one is especially interesting: "What a fuss here! And outside everything is so quiet, calm!". Andrei and Olga believe that if you lie quietly on the couch, and do not run like crazy through life, then you are certainly lazy and do not think about anything. However, such battles took place in Oblomov's soul that Ilyinskaya could not imagine. He thought about such complex issues, his thoughts went so far that Stoltz would have gone mad. Ilya did not need a wife who throws tantrums, she herself does not know what she wants. In the depths of his soul, he was looking for a companion, whom not only Ilya Ilyich himself would love, but who, for her part, accepted him as he was, without trying to remake him. Such is the ideal love in Oblomov's life.

So it turns out that the hero loved Olga sincerely, in a way that no one else loved and could not love, and she wanted to heal him, after which, when he was on the same "level" with her, love. And Ilyinskaya paid dearly for this, when Oblomov died, she realized that she loved him exactly as he was, with all the obvious flaws.

The role of love in the life of a hero

The role of love in Oblomov's life, therefore, was very great. She, according to the author, is the most important driving force, without which it is impossible spiritual development people, nor their happiness. According to I.A. Goncharov, love in Oblomov's life was milestone his internal formation, which is why she is given so much space in the development of the novel.
