The ninth episode of the first part of the novel by Ivan Alexandrovich Goncharov is the chapter "Oblomov's Dream". In it, a young landowner, who has recently stepped over thirty years of age, falls asleep in his unkempt rented four-room St. Petersburg apartment, and in his sleep scenes from his own childhood appear to him. Nothing fancy or far-fetched. Agree, in a dream it is rare when we see documentary in its purest form. Of course, this is the author. Oblomov's dream is a kind of journey to the time when Ilya Ilyich was still a child surrounded by blind parental love.
Why did Goncharov choose such an unusual form of storytelling? The need for her presence in the novel is obvious. A young man in his prime, at the age at which his peers have achieved significant success in life, spends whole days lying on the couch. Moreover, he does not feel any inner need to rise and do something. Oblomov did not come to such an empty inner world and a crippled personality by chance or suddenly. Oblomov's dream is an analysis of those primary impressions and sensations of the boy Ilya, which later developed into convictions, formed the very basis, the foundation of his personality. Goncharov's appeal to his hero's childhood is no coincidence. It is childhood impressions, as is known, that bring either a constructive or a destructive principle into a person's life.
Oblomovka - laziness serf reserve
Oblomov's dream begins with his seven-year-old stay in his parental estate, the village of Oblomovka. This little world is on the outskirts. News does not reach here, there are practically no visitors here with their troubles. Oblomov's parents come from an old noble family. A generation ago, their home was one of the best in the area. Life was in full swing here. However, the blood in the veins of these landowners gradually cooled. There was no need to work, they decided; three hundred and fifty serfs would still bring in income. Why bother if life will still be well-fed and comfortable. This generic laziness, when the only concern of the whole family before dinner was its preparation, and after it the whole noble house fell into slumber, like a disease, was transmitted to Ilya. Surrounded by a host of nannies hurrying to fulfill any child's wishes, not even letting him get up from the couch, a lively and active child absorbed an aversion to work and even fun with peers. He gradually became lethargic and lethargic.
A senseless flight on the wings of fantasy
Then Oblomov's dream transferred him to the moment when the nanny was reading fairy tales to him. The creative potential of the child, embedded deep inside, found a way out here. However, this way out was peculiar: from the perception of Pushkin's fairy-tale images to their further transfer into their dreams. Oblomov's dream indicates to us the fact that Ilyusha perceived the stories differently than other children who, having heard a fairy tale, begin to actively play up with their peers. He played in a different way: having heard a fairy tale, he immersed its heroes in his dream, so that together with them he could virtually perform feats and noble deeds. He did not need peers, did not need to participate in anything. Gradually, the dream world supplanted the boy's real desires and aspirations. He weakened, any work began to seem boring to him, unworthy of his attention. Work, Oblomov believed, was for the serfs Vanek and Zakharok.
School that has not changed its position in life
Oblomov's dream immersed him in his school years, where, together with his peer Andryusha Stolts, the father of the latter taught a course in elementary school. The studies took place in a neighboring village, Verkhlevo. Ilyusha Oblomov at that time was a boy of about fourteen years old, plump and passive. It would seem that next to him he saw the father and son of the Stoltsev, active, active. This was a chance for Oblomov to change his outlook on life. However, this did not happen, unfortunately. Crushed by serfdom, one village turned out to be similar to another. In the same way as in Oblomovka, laziness flourished here. People were in a passive, drowsy state. “The world does not live like the Stoltsy,” Ilyusha decided and remained in the grip of laziness.
Goncharov. Oblomov. Audiobook
“The sky is there, it seems ... it squeezes closer to the ground, but not in order to throw arrows stronger than arrows, but only to hug it tighter, with love: it stretched so low above your head, like a parent's reliable roof, in order to protect, it seems like a chosen corner from any adversity.
The sun shines brightly and hot there for about six months and then moves away from there not suddenly, as if reluctantly, as if it turns back to look once or twice at a favorite place and give it in the fall, in the midst of bad weather, a clear, warm day. "
Instead of mountains, there is a series of gentle hills, from which it is pleasant to ride. The river runs there merrily, naughty and playing. It will spill into a wide pond, then it strives with a fast thread, or it will become subdued, as if in thought, and creeps a little over the pebbles.
Correctly and calmly, the annual circle is performed there. Each season begins on time, and each is beautiful in its own way. Neither terrible storms nor destruction can be heard in that region.
“The Lord did not punish the other side with either Egyptian or simple ulcers. None of the inhabitants saw or remembers any terrible heavenly signs, no balls of fire, no sudden darkness, there are no poisonous reptiles, locusts do not fly there, there are no roaring lions, no roaring tigers, not even bears and wolves, because there is no forests. Only in abundance are chewing cows, bleating sheep and cackling chickens wandering through the fields and around the village. "
Everything is quiet and sleepy in the three or four villages that make up this corner! Silence and serenity reign in the customs of the people here.
"There were no robberies, no murders, no terrible accidents happened there, no strong passions, no brave ventures worried them."
The nearest villages and the county town are twenty-five and thirty versts away. The inhabitants of this side did not even have anything to compare their life with: whether they live well, are they not, are they rich, are they poor.
“Happy people lived thinking that it should not and could not be otherwise, confident that all others live exactly the same way and that it is a sin to live differently ... They never embarrassed themselves with any vague mental or moral questions, because and bloomed with health and joy, that's why they lived there for a long time, men at forty looked like young men, old people did not struggle with a difficult, painful death, but, having lived to the point of impossibility, died as if by stealth, quietly freezing and imperceptibly letting out their last breath. That is why they say that before the people were stronger. "
They believed that "nothing is needed: life, like a dead river, flowed past them, they could only sit on the banks of this river and observe the inevitable phenomena that, in turn, without a call, appeared before each of them."
Of the three or four villages scattered there, there was one Sosnovka, the other Vavilovka, one verst from each other. Both of them were the hereditary ancestor of the Oblomov family and therefore were nicknamed by the common name Oblomovka.
Oblomov now sees in a dream how he, a seven-year-old pretty, red, plump boy, wakes up in his bed. The nanny dresses him up, laughing at the childish pranks. She carries him to her mother, who showers Ilyushechka with passionate kisses and carefully examines him. This is followed by morning tea with several elderly relatives living with them. Then Ilya goes for a walk under the supervision of a nanny. The nanny makes sure that he does not go into the ravine - the only place that is considered dangerous in the village.
Ilyusha hears the clatter of knives chopping cutlets and greens from the kitchen. Lunch is the main concern in their home. Relatives confer for a long time in the morning about what to cook for dinner. Everyone offers their own dish: some soup with giblets, some noodles or a stomach, some scars, some red, some white gravy for the sauce. In Oblomovka, delicious honey, kvass, and pies are prepared.
After dinner, the entire manor house falls asleep. Both the bar and the courtyards are asleep, except for the restless Ilya, who is running around the rooms alone. The nanny falls asleep too. Seizing the moment, little Oblomov runs towards the "terrible" ravine, but, having reached almost to its edge, turns back in fear, remembering the words of his mother that goblin, robbers and terrible animals live there.
But the heat of the day begins to subside, and the inhabitants of the master's house, one by one, wake up. A sluggish conversation ensues. Drink tea again. Mom puts Ilya on her lap and strokes his head, dreaming with her aunts about the boy's brilliant future.
Evening falls. It gets dark in the yard. The birds fall silent. The distant birch trees now seem like fabulous monsters. “That day has passed, and thank God! - say Oblomovites. - We lived happily, God forbid, and so tomorrow! "
Evenings are especially long in winter, and then the nanny tells Ilyushechka fairy tales about unknown countries, about good fellows, whom the pike sorceress endows with all earthly blessings for nothing, for nothing. With special good nature, she "told the tale of Emela the Fool, this evil and insidious satire on our great-grandfathers, and maybe even on ourselves." Breathlessly, the boy listens to the story of the daring of Ilya Muromets, Dobrynya Nikitich, Alyosha Popovich, about Polkan the hero, about the Passer-by, about the dead rising from the graves at midnight, or about the victims languishing in captivity by the monster, or about a bear with a wooden foot, which goes through the villages and villages to find a natural leg cut off from him. “In Oblomovka, they believed everything: both werewolves and the dead. Whether they will tell them that the hay hay was walking across the field, they will not hesitate and believe. "
“The boy's imagination was filled with strange ghosts, fear and longing settled for a long time, maybe forever, in the soul. He looks around sadly and sees everything in life harm, misfortune, everything dreams of that magical side where there is no evil, troubles, sorrows, where Militrisa Kirbityevna lives, where they are so well fed and dressed for free ...
Ilya Ilyich will see later that the world is simply arranged, that the dead do not rise from the graves, that giants, as soon as they start, are immediately put into a booth, and robbers - in prison, but if the very belief in ghosts disappears, then some kind of a residue of fear and unaccountable melancholy.
Ilya Ilyich learned that there are no troubles from monsters, and which there are - he hardly knows, and at every step everyone is waiting for something terrible and afraid ... "
Ilya Ilyich sees himself in a dream and as a grown-up boy of 13-14 years old. Then he was already sent to study in the neighboring village of Verkhlevo. The landowner who owned it never lived there, instructing the German Stolz to manage the estate, and he opened a small boarding house in Verkhlev for the children of the neighboring nobles. His son, Andrey, the same age as Ilyusha, lived with Stolz in Verkhlev. The Oblomov boy did not want to go to the boarding house, but his parents persuaded him, knowing about the benefits of education for his future career.
And in Oblomovka everything was going on with the same serene life. A number of family and church holidays took place, each with its own special rituals, which the Oblomovites always performed exactly. Life flowed in a continuous monotonous fabric, imperceptibly breaking off at the very grave. In the evenings after dinner, my father walked around the room just as silently, hands behind his back, and the women, sitting around him, sewed. The room was dim: only one tallow candle burned, for the Oblomovites, who never regretted slaughtering an excellent turkey or a dozen chickens they had raised themselves before the arrival of a guest, always skimp on buying things in the city with money. Such spending was considered by them almost a sin. Hearing once,
“... that one of the neighboring young landowners traveled to Moscow and paid there three hundred rubles for a dozen shirts, twenty-five rubles for boots and forty rubles for a wedding vest, old Oblomov crossed himself and said with an expression of horror, swiftly that“ such a fellow must be imprisoned in prison. "
In the living room, in the evenings, the same conversations went on. About the fact that with the onset of cold weather the day decreased, about the recent arrival of a relative, about which of the neighbors had children, who and when they think of marrying and marrying, about how old Luka Savich, having thought to ride on a sled down a hill, an eyebrow, about what, according to omen, the tip of the nose itches for.
“Nothing disturbed the monotony of this life, and the Oblomovites themselves were not burdened by it, because they did not imagine any other life, and if they could imagine, they would turn away from it with horror.
They did not want and would not love another life. They would be sorry if the circumstances made changes in their life, whatever. They will be gnawed by melancholy if tomorrow is not like today, and the day after tomorrow is not like tomorrow.
Why do they need the variety, changes, accidents that others are asking for? Let the others clean up this cup, but they, the Oblomovites, don't care about anything. Let others live as they want. "
Sometimes only some Natalya Faddeevna will come to visit for a week or two.
Once the Oblomov man, who had returned from the city, brought a letter to the master, which was handed to him from the post office. "First of all, I hid when the letter was brought in the city," he justified, "but suddenly a row came and ordered to give your lordly favor." Stary Oblomov took the letter in his hands with apprehension and doubt and opened it after hesitation. It turned out: it was from a relative of Philip Matveyevich. He asked for a recipe for beer, which was deliciously brewed in Oblomovka. The relatives were delighted and marveled that Philip Matveyevich was still alive. The lady began to look for a recipe, but when they learned that a return letter would cost 40 kopecks, the search slowed down, and it is still unknown whether the recipe was sent to the person asking.
Poor Ilyusha, meanwhile, continued to go to study at Stolz's, coming home every week for the weekend. He did not want to leave his home, and his mother often canceled his trips on the pretext that he had become pale or that there would be church holidays in the week. Stolz scolded the Oblomovs for this. Constantly skipping classes, Oblomov could learn little. It's good that Stolz's son, Andrei, often did tasks for him ...
BackIlya Ilyich Oblomov is a hero with apathy for life in general. The chapter of the novel, in which Goncharov describes Oblomov's dream, vividly characterizes this.
The dream genre is usually used by writers to reveal the character of the hero. Goncharov used it to make the reader understand that "Oblomovism" was an acquired character trait, in childhood the hero was energetic, full of hopes and desires. He clearly imagined his happy family, caring wife and happy kids.
In his dream, Oblomov appears before us as a seven-year-old boy, carelessly and cheerfully running on the lawn and dreaming of his bright future. Only the excessive care of the mother limits his freedom. The nanny constantly makes sure that the child is fed, is in the shade or is warmly dressed, etc. In the continuation of the dream, we see a thirteen-year-old teenager who does not really want to study, he likes his careless existence, leaving his native nest does not make him happy. Indeed, instead of a nanny, he now always has a caring servant at hand, if he just wants something, the desire is immediately fulfilled, unnecessary movement should not be carried out. Even as a boy, he firmly understood why he needed to do something on his own, when there were always nannies, aunts, and servants at hand. We can say that his initiative, for any actions, was ruined in early childhood. From a playful, thinking child, a lazy, apathetic nobleman grows up.
From dreams, we understand that he inherited the traits of his worthless, narrow-minded parents. The father did not delve into soybean economic affairs, as a result of which he was easily robbed. Mother was not interested in anything except the menu, the farm was abandoned and was in severe decline and dilapidation.
Goncharov shows us life in the Oblomovka village as if in a fairy tale. The huts are built in a special way, the sky is pressed low to the ground, as if carefully embracing it, the river runs playfully, even the sun does not leave immediately, but as if it returns several times before leaving. Oblomovka appears before us as if an animated character. The main task of every Oblomov resident is to eat and sleep well after meals. The sea is considered useless for a person, making him sad. Mountains are continuous abysses created for the destruction of man. Residents of Oblomovka knew about Moscow and St. Petersburg, about the French and the Germans, and then everything was dark, dark and two-headed people. Everything that happens outside the village is painful and fearful. The picture in which a man brought a letter is indicative. They scold him terribly: “Why did I bring it. Suddenly there is bad news. " To which he strongly justifies himself: “Yes, I said, we were not ordered to take letters. What the soldier promised to complain to his superiors. I took it. "
Oblomov's dream continues in reality. For every request of those around him about something, for every thought or desire of his own, Ilya Ilyich has one excuse: "Not now." The attitude of the author to the main character of the novel is strictly contradictory. Then he shows him sweet and good-natured in an ironic manner, which brings a kind smile on the face of the reader. But sometimes his nature is shown to be strictly contradictory, complex, tragic.
Option 2
The image of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov will remain in the reader's memory as an example of sheer apathy and laziness.
The writer Goncharov very often depicts Oblomov in an ironic manner, but in the novel there are moments when Ilya Ilyich appears to the reader as a tragic and contradictory figure. The character and habits of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov were formed under the influence of the environment. There is an episode in the work that perfectly proves this statement - this is the chapter "Oblomov's Dream".
Many writers very often appeal to the dream genre, as it reveals well the inner world of the character. However, Goncharov used this genre to show the origins of the character's character. The chapter "Oblomov's Dream" describes in detail Oblomov's childhood. The writer Goncharov shows that such qualities of Oblomov as apathy and indifference to the world, laziness, are acquired, not innate.
The chapter "Oblomov's Dream" we are considering is a plug-in episode, an extra-plot element. This chapter, although it has independence and completeness, does not in any way affect the further development of the storyline. The chapter sets the goal only to display in detail the character of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov.
In a dream, Ilya Oblomov initially sees himself as a seven-year-old boy. He frolics and plays, he is overcome by curiosity, he is drawn to everything that surrounds him, there is still no apathy that will overtake him later. Despite all this, the constant control of the mother with the nanny prevents him from realizing his desires. Only at a time when everyone fell asleep during the day did Ilya Oblomov gain freedom. His independent life began.
In a dream, Oblomov also appears as a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old. He is no longer able to resist, the thought that he needs to live as his parents live is firmly stuck in his head. Ilya Oblomov does not want to study, because for this he has to leave his home. He cannot understand the value of learning. His mother worried only about her child being always cheerful, fat and healthy. And other things were unimportant and absolutely did not affect the mother of Ilya Oblomov.
The writer Goncharov managed to write the chapter so that the reader could fully experience the old, rural life. In any line of the chapter there is the sound of a folk dialect, a mournful song, everything in the chapter is like a fairy tale. In the native village of Ilya Oblomov, everything appears somehow alive and spiritualized.

In the first part of Goncharov's novel "" we get to know the main character of the work. Oblomov was a prominent representative of the nobility of the mid-19th century. The writer shows us his protagonist as a person who has no meaning in life. Oblomov was very lazy, and his main occupation was lying on the couch. Ilya Ilyich spends his life in dreams, imagining a great man whom everyone loves and reveres. Less often, he dreams of a quiet life with a loving wife and children. One day Oblovom, reflecting on his existence, asked the question: "Why am I like this?" But not finding the answer to the question posed, Ilya Ilyich plunges into a sweet dream. He dreams of his native Oblomovka.
Oblomov's dream can be divided into three parts. In the first part we see the main character as a little boy of about seven years old. It is worth noting that little Ilyusha was a very lively, inquisitive and active child. The boy grew up surrounded by the care and supervision of nannies who did not allow him to step independently. Ilyusha was a very observant boy, he noticed every little thing. It was this observation of a measured and unhurried life that determined the character of the protagonist. I must say that this order of life was to Oblomov's liking, but such a life was full of flaws. Monotony and boredom cannot be a role model.
One of the most important occupations of the Oblomov family was eating. For them, food has become an integral ritual, repeated from day to day. Serfs, as a rule, prepared food, and Ilya's parents were engaged in the selection of products.
Goncharov ironically shows us the boy's parents. They, too, were not busy with anything, lived at the expense of their serfs and rejoiced in every day they lived.
After dinner, the entire Oblomov estate fell asleep, and then little Ilyusha had the opportunity to be independent.
The second part of the dream takes us to one of the winter evenings, when Oblomov's nanny was telling him fairy tales. Ilyusha was very fond of listening to the nanny's stories. Life in Oblomovka is measured, it seemed to him the continuation of the fairy tale. Over time, the tale mixed with the life of an adult Ilya Ilyich, who remained a child who did not know how to live a real life.
The third part of Oblomov's dream shows us Ilya as a teenage boy. At that moment he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Not far from Oblomovka was the village of Verkhlevo. There he studied with a German named Stolz. Together with Ilya, Stolz's son Andrei studied, who would later become Oblomov's best friend. Perhaps Stolz would have taught Ilya something, brought up a strong personality in him, but Verkhlevo was part of Oblomovka, and a slow and measured life reigned there too. Carefree pictures of the surrounding life gave a false idea of real life. All of this ultimately showed Ilya how "right" you need to live.
In addition, attention is drawn to the author's attitude to the events taking place. On the one hand, he has a negative attitude to the way of life of the Oblomov family, he condemns the behavior of Ilyusha's parents, who did not allow the boy to be independent. Ilyusha studied only for the sake of a certificate, not knowledge.
On the other hand, Goncharov also grew up in such a family. He describes with trepidation the childhood of the protagonist, because it reminded him of his childhood. But Goncharov managed to "break free" from such a "sleepy" life, he brought up strong character traits and became a real person. And the small and inquisitive Ilyusha became hostage to the environment, in which it was impossible to develop in a different direction.
The character Oblomov and the author Goncharov, who created this classic type, are fully aware of what ruined this hero, a man of a “dove soul”. The answer is "Oblomovism", as Ilya Ilyich Oblomov explains to Olga who asked this question. But what is Oblomovism? This Goncharov figured out long before the end of his novel.
In 1849, that is, almost ten years before the appearance of the novel Oblomov in print, he published a large excerpt from it, entitled Oblomov's Dream, in which the phenomenon of Russian life under consideration was linked with the prevailing social order in it, with the nature and climate of the country, with the customs of its population. Let's deal with each of these factors separately.
The nature of that blessed corner of the earth, where Oblomov's childhood passed, knows "nothing grand, wild and gloomy." The climate also corresponds to the peaceful nature. The annual circle is performed here correctly and calmly: the winter, not interrupted by thaws, lasts just as long as it needs; spring comes together, and during it you can not be afraid of sudden blizzards; in summer, there are clear days for almost three months, the sun's rays only slightly burn, but do not scorch unbearable heat. One cannot even hear of terrible storms. An enthusiastic dreamer and poet, perhaps, will yearn for this area. Meanwhile, the ideal of Oblomov lies in a quiet life.
The silence and peace that reigned in nature extended to the mores of the population. The interests of the inhabitants were entirely focused on themselves, since there was no relationship with the population of other localities. The disappearance of a pig or chicken was interpreted as an event of national importance. Comparative material security, which guaranteed a piece of daily bread, developed an amazing carelessness. The living embodiment of such carelessness is the peasant Onisim Suslov, whose hut has been hanging over the ravine since time immemorial, threatening to fall every minute. It would seem that the chicken is scared to enter it, and Onisim does not even think about the danger.
The customs of the surrounding population were passed on to the inhabitants of the Oblomov estate, which created the good-natured and apathetic Ilya Ilyich. Food and sleep with complete idleness - such is the life of Oblomov's parents and all his household members. The whole house consulted about dinner: everyone offered his menu, even an elderly aunt was invited to the council. After dinner there was a dream, during which there was not a single waking soul in the house. The predominance of physical needs, such as food and sleep, led to the fact that mental demands stalled and finally disappeared altogether. The underdevelopment of the "Oblomovites" reached colossal limits: for example, except for old Oblomov, everyone confused the names of the months and the order of numbers; but they knew a great variety of all sorts of signs and slavishly believed in them. The Oblomovites had absolutely nothing to talk to each other about, since, according to the author's ironic conclusion, their mental treasures were mutually exhausted, and they received little news. No matter how miserable and wretched such a life, they did not want another, because another life would be associated with variety, changes and accidents, and the inhabitants of the Oblomov estate were afraid of this like fire. How great their fear of any news was, is shown by the episode with the receipt of the letter, an extraordinary event in Oblomov's life.
The picture of their life will be quite complete if we add that there was not even a serious interest in the economy among the Oblomovites. They began to repair the dilapidated structure not earlier than it was caused by extreme necessity. The bridge, for example, was fixed only when Antipus fell from it into a ditch along with a horse and a barrel. There is no need to prove that such a well-fed and idle life was only possible during serfdom, when the “three hundred Zakhars” paid for everything and paid for everything.
This is the environment in which Ilya Ilyich Oblomov spent his childhood. The author strenuously emphasizes that this environment should have had a tremendous impact on the formation of the hero's mental and moral being. Suffice it to recall the upbringing of little Ilya in the parental home. An old devoted nanny was assigned to him from birth, whose duties included "looking after" the child. This observation consisted of a tireless struggle against the manifestations of liveliness and independence in the boy's character. The nanny could not influence the child's mental development. And she nourished his imagination only with her own, softening pride, tales of good fellows, very similar to Ilya Ilyich.
Most fairy tales featured a kind sorceress who patronized her favorite and, in the end, married him to an unheard of beauty, Militris Kirbityevna. Little Ilyusha, under the impression of such fairy tales, began to pull to a wonderful land, where there was no need to work and where his own Militrisa was waiting for him. The influence of the parents not only did not counterbalance the influence of the nanny, but, on the contrary, strengthened it. Ilyusha's mother left the child to the old woman only partially: she, in her free time from household chores, made sure that the sun did not bake her son's head, so that he did not run away into a ravine and the like. Even more than the nanny, the mother softened the child's vanity: not embarrassed by the presence of her son, she loved to talk with the household about his future, and she made him the hero of some brilliant epic she had created.
When Ilya Ilyich turned from a child into a boy, the basis of his upbringing changed little, despite the fact that instead of a nanny, he was now always a serf boy Zakharka. As soon as Ilyusha wakes up, Zakharka is already standing by the bed and, like a nanny, pulls on his stockings, puts on his shoes, and Ilyusha, already a fourteen-year-old boy, only knows that he is substituting one or the other leg for him. And not only Zakharka is at his disposal, he has only to blink - already three or four servants rush to fulfill his desire. It is not surprising that Ilyusha, like a greenhouse plant, grew slowly and sluggishly. The only thing that could overcome the influence of such an upbringing was the teaching in the boarding house of the efficient and energetic German Stolz, who managed the neighboring estate.
Stolz immediately entered into a stubborn struggle with the education system of the Oblomovites, who, agreeing to subject Ilya to schooling only because without him it was impossible to reach the official's sewn uniform, in every possible way opposed Stolz in his attempts to subordinate the boy to the strict regime of his boarding school. German persistence, perhaps, would have overcome the influence of the Oblomovites on Ilyusha, if the latter did not find an ally in the person of Stolz's son, Andrei, who became so attached to Ilyusha that he did translations for him and prompted lessons to him. This saved Ilyusha from the need to work, and labor was the only means of fighting Oblomovism.
The influence of the latter was intensified by the fact that Ilya Ilyich, from childhood observing serfdom, in which such a sharp line was drawn between "people" and "masters" that a courtyard boy for complaining about ill-treatment of Ilyusha, instead of just satisfaction, received beaters, - felt himself a master. In this respect, his quarrel with Zakhar, who dared to say that since "others are changing apartments, why not move to Ilya Ilyich, is extremely characteristic." Oblomov came to the greatest indignation and smashed Zakhar:
“The other works tirelessly,” he says, “runs, fusses, does not work, and does not eat, the other bows, the other asks, humiliates himself. And I? Come on, decide, what do you think, the other is me, eh? .. But do I rush about, do I work? Eat a little, or what? Thin or pathetic? Am I missing something? It seems that there is someone to submit, to make? I have never pulled a stocking on my legs, as I live, thank God. Am I going to worry? What am I from? And who am I saying this to? Didn't you follow me since childhood? You know all this, you saw that I was brought up tenderly, that I did not endure the cold or hunger, that I did not know the need, I did not earn bread for myself, and generally did not engage in black business.
Oblomov's consciousness darkened so much that pride appeared from the advantage of doing nothing. Oblomov is outraged by just comparing him with others.
Serfdom was the foundation of such a life. Zakhars and hundreds of Zakhars made it unnecessary to show their own initiative, their own activities. There was no need for a life struggle. Hence - complete helplessness, fear of life.
Output:
Goncharov is a great master of the episode that reveals the true essence of the hero's character. Oblomov's dream is the writer's desire to penetrate the secret of the soul, fully reveal the image, analyze the actions of the hero, and show his worldview. Sleep is a special state of a person. The feelings experienced during dream-vision are of particular importance: they exactly translate the feelings that a person experiences in real life. The comprehensive picture of the dream shows the collective image of Oblomovka, this society in which there is no place for everything active, progressive, thinking. Oblomov's dream is a key event, an example of an episode, this is the line beyond which a true understanding of the novel begins.
