An essay on the topic of the image of Pechorin.
1. Introduction: The novel “Hero of Our Time” is the most mature and major work of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov, a thoughtful writer-philosopher. Main character novel - Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin.
2. Introduction to the character: Pechorin is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a hero who is caring, inquisitive, and wants to take as much as possible from life. At first we do not understand the motives of his actions; we are surprised by his unusual eccentric nature young man. Pechorin steals the girl he likes, without thinking about the actions that may follow this act. He sincerely believes that he is in love with the “maiden of the mountains”, that this love will become a saving bridge along which the hero can move into a new life for him, full of meaning. Grigory Alexandrovich soon realizes the futility of hopes: “I was wrong again: the love of a savage is little better than the love of a noble young lady,” he admits.
3. Portrait characteristics: Gradually, in the fight against society, Pechorin loses his activity, becomes an indifferent, cold contemplator. If in the chapter “Taman” Grigory Aleksandrovich is active, even curious, then the chapter “Mary” shows us an already infantile person, floating with the flow, only the departure of Vera (the woman whom he deeply and sincerely loves) for a short time revives in him the desire to radically change own life. We see the hero's despair and tears. We rejoice that the “man” in Pechorin has not died, he is still capable of deeply and sincerely loving. But the impulse ends very quickly. Before us again is a reserved, cold, secretly suffering man. When meeting Pechorin, the narrator is struck by the hero’s eyes: “they didn’t laugh when he laughed!.. This is a sign of either an evil disposition or deep constant sadness... his gaze is short and heavy, leaving behind the unpleasant impression of an indiscreet question and could seem impudent if he were not so indifferently calm.”
4. Character's actions: His fate is tragic. Grigory Pechorin was expelled from St. Petersburg for a certain “story” (obviously, for a duel over a woman) to the Caucasus, several more stories happen to him along the way, he is demoted, goes to the Caucasus again, then travels for some time and, returning home from Persia , dies. During all this time, he experienced a lot himself and influenced the lives of other people in many ways. During his life, Pechorin destroyed many human destinies - Princesses Mary Ligovskaya, Vera, Bela, Grushnitsky.
5. My attitude: I believe that Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is very bright image, created by M.Yu. Lermontov. He is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a caring, inquisitive hero who wants to take as much as possible from life. Pechorin is an adventurer, a man who constantly tests his fate. At first it seems that he is fearless - he rushes into various adventures, plays with death. However, Pechorin has a secret, but very strong fear - he is afraid of marriage. Once a fortune teller predicted his death at the hands of his evil wife, and since then Pechorin has been afraid of marriage like fire. However, this did not save him: in the chapter “Maksim Maksimych” we learn that Grigory Alexandrovich died on the way from Persia. I cannot express my attitude towards Pechorin in just one phrase.
I hope so much is suitable for the essay, but in some places it needs to be corrected. I wish all the best.
MY ATTITUDE TO PECHORIN
I believe that Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin is a very bright image created by M.Yu. Lermontov. He is a young aristocrat who actively intervenes in the life around him. From the very first pages of the novel, we are presented with a caring, inquisitive hero who wants to take as much as possible from life. Pechorin is an adventurer, a man who constantly tests his fate. At first it seems that he is fearless - he rushes into various adventures, plays with death. However, Pechorin has a secret, but very strong fear - he is afraid of marriage. Once a fortune teller predicted his death at the hands of his evil wife, and since then Pechorin has been afraid of marriage like fire. However, this did not save him: in the chapter “Maksim Maksimych” we learn that Grigory Alexandrovich died on the way from Persia.
I cannot express my attitude towards Pechorin in just one phrase. This is a hero who cannot be treated unequivocally. Of course, this is an intelligent person who knows his worth and calculates situations in advance. But he is unfamiliar with such feelings as friendship and love. Grigory Alexandrovich perceives the world as a raging ocean of passions. He is loved by a girl, Vera, who does everything to see her lover. And this despite the fact that she is married. Pechorin also seems to love Vera, respects her and feels sorry for her. But at the same time, this does not prevent him from caring for Princess Mary and experiencing tender feelings for her. Pechorin steals the girl he likes, without thinking about the actions that may follow this act. He sincerely believes that he is in love with the “maiden of the mountains”, that this love will become a saving bridge along which the hero can move into a new life for him, full of meaning. But soon Grigory Alexandrovich understands the futility of hopes: “I was wrong again: the love of a savage is little better than the love of a noble young lady,” he admits to Maxim Maksimych. It turns out that Pechorin first deceives women, makes them fall in love with him, gains their trust, and then? Then, when the girls begin to hope for a marriage proposal, Grigory Alexandrovich either disappears or makes the woman disappointed in him. In the latter case, this happened to Princess Mary. The first opinion about Pechorin may be wrong: “He’s just an egoist!” Belinsky defended Pechorin from such accusations: “You say that he is an egoist? But doesn’t he despise and hate himself for this? Doesn’t his heart thirst for pure and selfless love?” In fact, the hero of the novel arranges tests for others, he asks himself: “Can we be friends?”
Pechorin is a contradictory, ambiguous person. He combines so many different qualities that it is very difficult for the reader to determine whether Pechorin is a negative character or a positive one. But real man is not exceptionally good.
I first read the novel “A Hero of Our Time” a long time ago, when I still knew almost nothing about Lermontov and had not read his poems. Therefore, acquaintance with Pechorin became an impetus for me to study the poet’s work.
The state in which I was after the first reading of “A Hero of Our Time” is difficult to convey. I didn’t understand the thoughts and actions of the characters well, and I almost didn’t remember the plot of the novel. I just discovered amazing world- not very clear to me yet. And he captured me completely. Lermontov's world seemed endless: you go further and further, and new, unprecedented horizons open up.
I saw this world through the eyes of Pechorin, felt it with my soul. None of the heroes of previously read books were so close to me or captivated me so much. I fell in love with Pechorin as a living person. I loved Vera, Mary, Werner as Pechorin loved them. She despised Pechorin's world with his contempt. I didn’t blame him for anything, because I understood him and because I loved him for who he was: with all his mistakes, vices and shortcomings. My love absorbed all the bitterness, annoyance, and torment of Pechorin, and they became mine. I suffered because he suffered. But I felt Pechorin’s era in my own way, from the height of my era: what caused Pechorin only boredom and cold contempt aroused anger and indignation in me. Because I couldn’t help Pechorin in any way, this anger sometimes turned into despair.
This is my first impression of Pechorin that has not faded over the years. My attitude towards him has remained the same. It only deepened, with each reading new shades appeared in the perception of the image. Gradually, Pechorin’s thoughts became clearer to me, his actions and relationships with other characters in the novel became clearer. If earlier the novel acted mainly on the feelings, now it provided rich food for the mind.
I was afraid of the time when I would have to study the novel at school. I believe that one cannot speak about Pechorin out loud, discuss his actions, blame or justify him. I was afraid that poetry would perish from the brutal invasion of prosaic, boring analyses.
“A Hero of Our Time” is a diary, a frank confession of a person to himself. Therefore, I believed, the novel, like any diary, cannot be read aloud. Material from the site
But it turned out that “A Hero of Our Time” not only did not fade, but also sparkled with new colors; something was discovered in it that had not been noticed before. He is like a person: the more you get to know him, the more you love him and the better you understand him. I seriously thought about Pechorin’s philosophical thoughts, which reflected his inner world, over his subtle perception of nature and people.
Now I still love Pechorin, but now it's more deep feeling. Because now I see in the image of Pechorin the features of Lermontov himself. Reading the novel, I hear the music of his poems. I realized that Lermontov’s poetry, he himself and his hero are connected by invisible threads.
My opinion about Pechorin is not final. He remains a mystery to me that can be solved forever. There is a limit to everything, only the human thirst for knowledge is limitless, and I am sure that my recognition of Pechorin will never end.

The novel “A Hero of Our Time” shows a portrait of not one person, but an entire generation, made up of vices. the main role is assigned to Pechorin, but it is the other characters in the novel with whom he had to intersect in life that allow us to better understand the inner world of this person, the depth of his soul.
The relationship between Pechorin and Princess Mary is one of the brightest storylines novel. They began casually, ending quickly and tragically. Once again, showing Pechorin as a man with a callous soul and a cold heart.
Acquaintance
The first meeting of Pechorin and Princess Mary took place in Pyatigorsk, where Grigory was sent after completing another military mission. The princess and her mother underwent treatment with the mineral waters of Pyatigorsk.
The princess and Pechorin constantly revolved in secular society. A common circle of friends brought them together at one of the meetings. Grigory stirred up interest in his person, deliberately teasing the girl, ignoring her presence. He saw that she paid attention to him, but Pechorin was much more interested in watching how she would behave next. He knew women very well and could calculate several steps ahead how the acquaintance would end.
He took the first step. Pechorin invited Mary to dance, and then everything had to go according to the scenario he had developed. It gave him unprecedented pleasure to lure his next victim, allowing her to get carried away. The girls fell in love with the handsome military man, but quickly got bored and he, pleased with himself, with a feeling of complete self-satisfaction, put another tick on his record of love affairs, happily forgetting about them.
Love
Mary truly fell in love. The girl did not understand that the toy was in his hands. Part of the insidious heartthrob's plan. Pechorin benefited from meeting her. New emotions, sensations, a reason to distract the public from the affair with Vera, married woman. He loved Vera, but they could not be together. Another reason to hit on Mary, to make Grushnitsky jealous. He was truly in love with the girl, but his feelings remained unanswered. Mary did not love him and was unlikely to love him. In the current love triangle he is clearly superfluous. In retaliation for unrequited feelings, Grushnitsky spread dirty rumors about the affair between Pechorin and Mary, ruining her reputation. He soon paid for his vile act. Pechorin challenged him to a duel, where the bullet reached its target, killing the liar outright.
The final
After what happened, Mary began to love Pechorin even more. She believed that his action was noble. After all, he defended her honor, making it clear that she had been slandered. The girl was waiting for confessions from Gregory, tormented by love and the feelings that gripped her. Instead, he hears the bitter truth that he never loved her and certainly had no intention of marrying her. He achieved his goal by breaking the heart of another victim of his love spells. She hated him. The last phrase I heard from her was
"…I hate you…".
Once again, Pechorin acted cruelly towards loved ones, stepping over their feelings and trampling on love.
