The history of the creation of the poem by M.Yu. Lermontov "Mtsyri", its theme and idea.
Life is not about living, but about feeling that you are living. Vasily Klyuchevsky, Russian historian of the 19th–20th centuries.
Mtsyri (translated from Georgian) non-serving monk, novice, stranger, foreigner, stranger. The manuscript of the poem by Lermontov’s hand is marked with the date of its completion: “1839. August 5.”
Tasting, I tasted little honey, and now I’m dying.” Where did the epigraph to the poem come from? How do you understand the meaning of these words? The original (crossed out) epigraph to the poem was the phrase: “On n’a qu’une seul patrie” (There is only one homeland) Why do you think the poet eventually removed this epigraph?
The epigraph to the poem was a phrase from the biblical legend about the Israeli king Saul and his son Jonathan, who violated his father’s ban on not eating until evening. The whole earth exuded honey, and the warriors were hungry after the battle. Jonathan violated the ban and the phrase “When I tasted it, I tasted little honey, and now I died,” he uttered while awaiting execution. Historical reference
Dictionary of popular words and expressions Tasting, I taste a little honey and now I’m dying From the Bible (Church Slavonic text). The first book of Kings, the words of Jonathan (chapter 14, v. 43): “...Tasting, I tasted a little honey, having wet the end of the rod that was in my hand, and now I die.” Translation into modern Russian: “...I tasted a little honey with the end of the stick that is in my hand; and now I must die.” Allegorically: regret that man’s life is short, not all the joys of life have been experienced.
The prototype of the monastery described in the poem was the Jvari monastery, standing on the mountain opposite Sveti Tskhoveli, on the other side of the river. Jvari (Cross Monastery), sung by the poet M. Yu. Lermontov... “Where, merging they make noise, Embracing as if two sisters Streams of Aragva and Kura There was a monastery...”
Georgian Military Road near Mtskheta. Drawing by M.Yu. Lermontov The basis of the plot (2 options) The story of an old monk whom he met in Mtskheta, a Georgian city near Tbilisi, located at the confluence of the Aragvi River with the Kura. Here, on the tops of the mountains, rises the Jvari (Cross) temple and the Svetitskhaveli Cathedral - the tomb of the Georgian kings. According to this story, conveyed by P. A. Viskovatov from the words of Lermontov’s relatives, General A. P. Ermolov “carried with him and left a sick child of the monastic brethren”
The creation of “Mtsyri” was inspired by the completely extraordinary story of a child who was captured in the Chechen village of Dada-Yurt and was soon baptized under the name Pyotr Zakharov. The boy amazed everyone with his drawing abilities; General P. N. Ermolov drew attention to the little Chechen and took him with him to Tiflis. Ermolov fell in love with him, sent him to Moscow, where he studied painting for eight years, and then entered the Academy of Arts (in St. Petersburg). The basis of the plot

Slide description:
Lermontov permeates the entire poem with the idea of the struggle for freedom, a protest against the social conditions that constrain the human personality. The happiness of life for Mtsyri is in the struggle for the goal he has set for himself - to find his homeland and freedom. To emphasize this determination of Mtsyri, his loyalty to the end to his “fiery passion” for freedom, Lermontov changed the life story of the old monk, which is the basis of the plot of the poem: Mtsyri dies because he cannot come to terms with life in the monastery.

Slide description:
What inspired Lermontov to create the poem “Mtsyri”? Back in 1830-1831, Lermontov conceived the idea of creating the image of a young man rushing to freedom from a monastery or prison. In 1830, in his unfinished poem “Confession,” he told the story of a young Spanish monk imprisoned in a monastery prison. The character created here is close to Mtsyri. But the poem did not satisfy Lermontov and remained unfinished. However, the poet’s idea to create such a character did not disappear. In one of the notes from 1831 we find: “Write notes of a young monk aged 17. Since childhood he has been in a monastery... A passionate soul languishes. Ideals..."

But several years passed before Lermontov managed to implement this plan. In 1837, while traveling along the Georgian Military Road, Lermontov met an old monk in Mtskheta who told the poet the story of his life. He is a mountaineer by birth; As a child, he was captured by the troops of General Ermolov. The general took him with him, but the boy fell ill on the way and was left in the monastery in the care of the monks. Here he grew up, but for a long time he could not get used to monastic life and repeatedly tried to escape to the mountains, to his homeland. The consequence of one of these attempts was a long and serious illness, after which the young highlander reconciled with his fate and remained in the monastery.

The description of Mtsyri's wanderings in the forest in search of a way to his homeland made it possible for Lermontov to fill the poem with pictures of Caucasian nature, which he knew perfectly well, and to use the folklore of the peoples of the Caucasus: the scene of Mtsyri's fight with the leopard was suggested by the Khevsur song about the tiger and the young man and the scene of Tariel's fight with the tigress from the poem Georgian poet Shota Rustaveli “The Knight in the Skin of a Tiger.”

Theme of the poem The theme of the poem is the image of a strong, courageous, freedom-loving personality, a young man eager for freedom, to his homeland from a monastic environment that is alien and hostile to him. Expanding this main theme, Lermontov also poses private themes representing its various facets: man and nature, the connection of a person with his homeland, with the people, the severity of forced loneliness and inaction.

The image of Mtsyri In the image of Mtsyri, the poet expressed his dreams of a heroic man who strives for a free life and is capable of fighting for it. Noting the similarity between the aspirations of Mtsyri and Lermontov himself, Belinsky wrote: “What a fiery soul, what a mighty spirit, what a gigantic nature this Mtsyri has! This is our poet’s favorite ideal, this is the reflection in poetry of the shadow of his own personality. In everything that Mtsyri says, he breathes his own spirit, amazes him with his own power!” The poet Ogarev, Herzen’s friend, also understood the image of Mtsyri. He said that Mtsyri is “his (Lermontov’s) clearest or only ideal.”
