This concept is familiar to us from the middle school.There we are told that "Oblomovism - a moral decay, doing nothing, parasitic life pathological lazy."But is this true?And as far as it is characteristic of our time, for the Russian character?
accepted that IAGoncharov condemns his hero, because by chance he compares it with active and progressive Andrei Stolz.As a rule, it states that Oblomovism - echoes aristocratic, aristocratic Russian in the worst case.But remember, with some admiration of the writer recreates the unhurried pace of life estates.As a truly gentle, he describes a dream of his hero, his dreams, his only strikes up a relationship with Olga Elias.Maybe Oblomovism - it is, in Goncharov, a characteristic feature of Russian paintings in the world?It is no accident because the enterprising Stoltz in the novel - a German, it is like a foreign body in the worldview of the Slavophiles and the traditionalists.The word "Oblomovism" in the modern language has long been almost abusive in any case containing a negative assessment of the phenomenon.But the novel - not a lampoon, not a pamphlet.He recreates the struggle between the two began Westernizing and Slavophile, progressive and traditional, active and passive.Modern critics interpret it in a broader philosophical context.According to some, Oblomovism - is not so much a social as an ideological phenomenon.This attraction to nature and beauty, the rejection of technological progress and accelerate the pace of life.This traditionalism, loyalty foundations.It's kind of Asian, almost Buddhist spirit.Is Lazy Ilya Ilyich?Absolutely.Only now his laziness - organic continuation of his upbringing and lifestyle.He was useless to struggle for a livelihood, he does not need to work, because he is the landowner.The criticism has been made to denounce his attitude towards Olga Elias, his apathy and lack of will, his unwillingness to take responsibility.But modern family psychologist is likely to have praised his decision and rejection of the romantic feelings.Oblomov he realized how different they are from the bride, knew that any compromise would be this fragile personality.But with Agafia Pshenitsyn he found happiness - a quiet, home, family.Yes, and Olga got what she wanted.
Therefore, is it really a negative concept of "Oblomovism"?Associated with it eternal gown worn to tatters, web, entropy, decay.But on the other hand, the author drew his hero is not one-sided.The image of Oblomov is ambiguous, like the world, the epitome of which he is.Not in a hurry, do not make plans, not be torn in all directions, no fuss.To live and enjoy the present day, the beauty of the world, art - is not it the dream of modern man?Driven by continuous progress, constantly rising demands, we forget how little we really need to for a sense of harmony.But Ilya Ilyich found it intuitive.Oblomovism - a kind of escapism, withdrawal into fantasy world.Such people do not rebel against the way of life, do not over reality, and reconciled with her.Is it possible to assert unequivocally that this defeatist attitude?Goncharov himself does not give a direct answer, and allows the reader to assess the character and his world.
