• Pushkin's freedom-loving lyrics

The concepts of freedom and a free soul were Pushkin’s main theme in his works and writings. All his life he was convinced that there is nothing more important than human freedom, and freedom of choice, respectively. Pushkin was essentially an arrogant man who did not tolerate anything being taken away from him or prohibited. This was reflected in his work.

In his works, he always emphasized the idea that one must value and respect both one’s own freedom and the freedom of others. In her works you can also find lines about the homeland, nature, love for it, and other things that personify his freedom-loving soul.

However, Pushkin always tried to convey the freedom-loving spirit that hovered in him, and always tried to convey it to his surroundings. He actively promoted the idea of ​​liberalism, so that everyone would be free and manage their own lives. Which could not but cause indignation on the part of the ruling authorities. Pushkin sometimes experienced persecution from the authorities, but thanks to his authority he always managed to get away with it. But thanks to his status, he also could not leave a conflict with someone just like that. Because of which, in the end, he was injured and died from it. Pushkin has always been and is a man for whom his freedom and moral state of soul were above all, and he could not keep it in peace while he was deprived of freedom, or while this freedom was dulled.

In most of his works, he also literally insulted most poets for their stereotyping, cheerfully making fun of them, which is why there were people who openly disliked him and asked him not to do anything else like that, but because of him, again, freedom-loving, he believed that speech should be free and should not be hidden from public view. Thus, he had many enemies in his environment, but he also felt great, because he thought that if they hate you, it means that you are somehow better than those who hate you. Such was Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, a wayward, undoubtedly arrogant man.

In this essay, I analyzed the poetry and lyrics of Pushkin and made the conclusion that is described above. My opinion is subjective, which is why you should not treat it as truly true.

Essay Freedom-loving lyrics by Pushkin

Throughout his work, the poet repeatedly addressed the theme of freedom in his poems, while the expression of the author’s thoughts in this regard changed depending on the events taking place in the country and the poet’s growing up.

For the first time, freedom-loving notes were heard with the ode “Liberty” written by the young poet, in which the author reflects on the need to combine freedom with laws, mentioning the murdered French king, but suggests that calling for rebellious calls to achieve a free life is impossible.

Reflecting on the idea of ​​freedom, the poet combines freedom with a patriotic feeling and love for his native land, discusses this in a friendly message “To Chaadaev.” In the work, the poet highlights the image of the homeland, which is in a difficult situation, and the ruling power. Here the revolutionary thoughts of the author and his dreams of liberating his homeland from the power of autocracy begin to be traced.

An expression of the ideas of noble youth is the poet’s writing of the work “Village,” in which he reflects on the problem of serfdom. Using antithesis as an artistic device, the author, using the example of a rural landscape, draws magical pictures of nature with the absence of struggle and disagreement, and then focuses the reader’s attention on the terrifying facts of life of serfs.

After several years, the poet changes his attitude to the concept of freedom, being under the influence of romantic moods, and displays the idea of ​​freedom as an absolute abstract fact, as a free element in the image of a mighty ocean, personifying absolute freedom (“To the Sea”, “Prisoner”).

Later, the poet becomes disappointed with the liberation movements; he speaks harshly about people who are unable to feel a sense of freedom (“The Desert Sower of Freedom”).

After the suppression of the Decembrist uprising, the poet’s works begin to contain thoughts that the long-awaited freedom comes at an incredible price, taking the lives of loved ones (“In the depths of the Siberian ores”, “Arion”).

A number of poems are dedicated by the author to poetic freedom, which he glorifies as the commitment of a creative person to his own inspiration, independent of the unenlightened opinion of society (“The Poet”, “The Poet and the Crowd”).

In the last years of his life, being in adulthood, the poet again turns to freedom-loving themes, revealing the concept of internal liberation, when a person dreams of peace in life, far from revolutions (“It’s time, my friend, it’s time!”).

At the end of his work, the poet creates a poetic testament, again and again preaching various manifestations of love of freedom (“I erected a monument to myself not made by hands”).

• What causes the genre contrasts in the poem?

(The first part,
up to the words “ But the thought is terrible...” is an idyll, the second part is a satire. The change in genre is caused by the presence of peace in the village - and the terrible vices of serfdom. The second part differs from the first graphically - it does not contain spaces).

All this creates a “shelter of peace”, provides “free idleness”; the “traces of contentment” of peasant life are also reassuring).

• What are the consequences of freeing the lyrical hero “from vain shackles”?

(“The free soul” of the lyrical hero is manifested in the fact that he learns to find bliss in the truth, to idolize the law, not to depend on the unenlightened crowd, to be sympathetic to shy prayer, not to envy the fate of an exalted villain or fool - and to see the “slavery” of others).

• Who are the “Oracles of the Ages”?

(Oracles are predictors; here we mean writers, thinkers whose books the hero reads in his solitude).

(This is facilitated by solitude, moreover, in the midst of beautiful nature, which makes solitude “majestic.” In such conditions, “the gratifying voice of thinkers and poets is more audible”).

(The problem of education closes part 1 and opens part 2. The poet reads and thinks, but the peasants are illiterate).

• Show the object and result of the influence of the “horrible thought” of ignorance.

(This “thought” affects not the mind, but the “soul” and “darkens” it. This speaks of the responsiveness of the hero’s soul, the strength and depth of the influence of the “thought” and the decisiveness of the consequences for a person.)

• What contradiction in the surrounding reality does “the friend of humanity sadly notice”?

(Among the beauty of nature there is the shame of ignorance).

• What vice of serfdom is named second?

(“Barshchina” - i.e. corvee - forced labor on the land of the landowner and with the help of his tools. Corvee is called wild, devoid of “feeling” and “law”).

• How did the “friend of humanity” see the soul of the serfs?

(In their souls they do not dare to harbor “hopes and inclinations,” which is a psychological consequence of their economic enslavement).

• What other evils of serfdom did the poet point out?

(Debauchery, destruction of peasant families, humiliation of human dignity).

• What poetic gift does a poet dream of?

(He wishes that fate would give him the gift of solemn and formidable speech).

(Will the beautiful dawn of enlightened freedom finally rise over the fatherland?).

Homework:

• 1. Learn by heart one of the freedom-loving poems (your choice).
• 2. Formulate in writing the political views of A. S. Pushkin during the St. Petersburg period.

Option 3

What is freedom? Sooner or later everyone asks this question. In my understanding, freedom is a state of mind in which a person does what he wants, and not what others tell him. This is the absence of bondage, slavery, boundaries and restrictions. When a person is free, he is free to choose and be happy.

The theme of freedom has become one of the central ones in the works of many poets, writers and philosophers. Each of them understood the will in his own way; Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin also sang her praises. Even in his youth, while studying at the Lyceum, the poet could not imagine his life without freedom, devoting many poems to it. One of these works was the ode “Liberty,” in which Pushkin categorically rejects slavery, preferring equality and humanity. “I want to sing Freedom to the world,” says the poet. For Pushkin, will is the main value in life, the highest good and happiness. At the same time, the poet sees the source of unfreedom in the state, serfdom and in the people themselves.

During the years of Southern exile, the theme of freedom becomes the main one for Pushkin. At this time, he writes the poem “Prisoner”, where the main motive is personal freedom. Pushkin’s soul languished in captivity, to which state power condemned him, therefore, in the work “The Prisoner,” he associates himself with an eagle, which is forced to live behind bars in a dungeon. During his exile in the Mikhailovsky village, Alexander Sergeevich writes another poem about freedom - “In the depths of the Siberian ores...”. In it, Pushkin uses many allegories of captivity, such as “dark locks” and “heavy shackles.” The final work on freedom can be considered the poem “I erected a monument to myself not made by hands...”, written in 1836. It was then that the poet took a new look at freedom and slavery. Pushkin realized that no tyrants can take away a person’s spiritual freedom. Everyone has the right to enjoy nature and freedom.

Thus, we can conclude that freedom for Pushkin is independence, the absence of slavery and suppression of the individual, the opportunity to have one’s own opinion and express it. Will, according to Alexander Sergeevich, must be respected, because only with it can a person be truly happy.
