Maksim Maksimych, an officer of about 50 years old, has seen a lot in his life, but the most memorable event for him was not the military actions with the “mountain thugs”, but the story of the young man Grigory Aleksandrovich Pechorin, expelled from St. Petersburg for some offense and served under him.

Questions to consider

Choose words that convey Pechorin's disappointment in life. Please comment on them.
What is the reason for Pechorin’s boredom and disappointment, in his opinion?
What are the similarities and differences between Pechorin and Onegin?
Why can't Pechorin be happy in his environment?

In his monologue, Pechorin seems to reveal his inner biography: the pleasures of life, love, reading - nothing brought satisfaction. Pechorin's boredom directly echoes the blues of Evgenia Onegin. But, unlike Onegin, Lermontov’s hero is characterized by an insatiable thirst for something new, a “restless imagination”, “an insatiable heart”. When preparing to travel, he is looking not for peace, but for “storms and bad roads.”

The role of landscape in the story.

Find the most striking landscape sketches. What pictures of nature does Lermontov choose for his description? What is the connection between landscape sketches and the image of the main character and the event outline of the story?

The majestic pictures of mountain nature are imbued with lyrism, a sense of the beauty and poetry of the world. Against the background of harmony in nature, Pechorin’s discord with life and anxiety are clearly highlighted.

In addition, the rebellion and majesty of the Caucasian landscapes emphasize and strengthen the rebellion of Lermontov’s hero, his proud spirit.

IV. Generalization.

Pechorin's character remains a mystery, because the motives of his actions are hidden from the reader.
