In 1916, Ivan Bunin wrote "Light breath".The analysis of this story suggests that it belongs to the genre of the novel.The author managed to convey in a short form of the life story of schoolgirl Olya Mescherskaya, but not only it.According to the definition of the genre, a short story in a unique, small, specific events must recreate the entire life of the hero, and through it - the life of society.Ivan through modernism to create a unique image of the girl, who still dreams of true love.
This feeling not only wrote Bunin ("Light breath").The analysis was carried out of love, perhaps, all the great poets and writers, are very different in character and outlook, so the Russian literature are a lot of shades of feelings.Opening the work of another author, we always find something new.Bunin also has its own "philosophy of love".His works often tragic endings, ending with the death of one of the characters, but it is rather lighter than the deeply tragic.With this ending we face, having read the story Bunin "Light breath".
first impression
At first glance, events seem dirty.Girl playing in love with an ugly officer, far from that circle, which belonged to the heroine.In the story, the author uses the so-called method of "proof of return" because even with such a vulgar external events love remains somewhat intact and bright, does not apply to everyday dirt.Arriving at the tomb of Oli, homeroom teacher asks himself how all these combine with a clean look at "something terrible" that is now associated with the name of the girls.This question does not require an answer, which is present throughout the text of the work.They thoroughly permeated the story Bunin "Light breath".
nature of the main character
Olya Meshcherskaya seems the epitome of youth, hungry for love, lively and dreamy heroine.Her image, contrary to the laws of public morality, draws almost everyone, even the younger classes.And even the keeper of morals, teacher Olga, condemning her early adulthood, after the death of the heroine comes to the cemetery to her grave every week, always thinking about it and thus even feels "like all the devotees dream people" happy.
feature character of the protagonist of the story is that she craves happiness and can find it even in such an ugly reality in which she had to be.Bunin "easy breath" is used as a metaphor for natural, vital energy.This sense of a so-called "ease breathing" is always present at the Parliament, a special aura surrounding it.People feel it is so attracted to the girl, without even being able to explain why.It infects all his joy.
Contrasts
product Bunin "Light breath" is built on contrasts.From the first row there is a dual feeling: a desert, a sad cemetery, cold wind, gray April day.Against this background - a portrait of the girls with the living, joyful eyes - Photo on the cross.All life Oli also built on the contrast.Cloudless childhood contrasted with the tragic events that occurred in the last year of life of the heroine of the story, "Light breath".Ivan Bunin often emphasizes the contrast, the gap between the real and the apparent, the internal state and the outside world.
The plot of the story
The plot works is quite simple.Happy young schoolgirl Olya Meshcherskaya first becomes prey to a friend of his father, an elderly voluptuary, and then - a living target for the above-mentioned officer.Her death moves to "serve" her memory classy lady - a lonely woman.However, the apparent simplicity of this story violates vivid juxtaposition: a heavy cross and lively, joyful eyes, clench involuntarily forcing reader's heart.The simplicity of the story was misleading, because the story "Light breath" (Ivan Bunin) is not only the fate of the girl, but also the proportion of unhappy cool lady who used to live someone else's life.Interesting and Oli relationship with the officer.
Relations Officer
already said the officer on the plot of the story is killing Olga Meshcherskaya introduced willy-nilly misleading her game.He did it because it was close to her, she believed that she loved him, and could not survive the destruction of this illusion.Not anyone can cause another such a strong passion.This suggests a bright personality Oli said Bunin ("Light breath").The act of the protagonist was cruel, but she is, as you might guess, having a special character, intoxicated officer unintentionally.Olya Meshcherskaya in a relationship with him was looking for a dream, but it failed to find it.
blame if Olya?
Ivan thought that the birth is not the beginning, and therefore, death - not the end of the soul, the symbol of which is the definition that used Bunin - "easy breath".An analysis of his works in the text leads to the conclusion that this concept - a synonym of life, of the soul.It does not disappear completely after death and returns to the source.This, not only about the fate of Parliament, the product of "Light breath".
Ivan Bunin is no accident draws explanation for the death of the heroine.There is a question: "Maybe it is to blame for what happened?"After all, it is frivolous, it flirts with schoolboy Shenshin, then let unconsciously, another father Alexis Malyutin, seduced her, then for some reason, the officer promised to marry him.Why it took all of this?Bunin ("Light breath") examines the motives of the heroine.Gradually it becomes clear that Olga is as beautiful as the elements.And as vnenravstvenna.It aims to reach all over the depth to the limit, to the inmost and the opinions of others are not interested in the product character "Light breath".Ivan Bunin wanted to tell us that the girls in action no revenge, no meaningful blemish or hardness solutions or pain of remorse.It turns out that the sense of the fullness of life is able to be fatal.Tragic (like classy ladies) even unconscious longing for her.Therefore, every step, every detail of the life threatening accident Oli: mischief and curiosity may lead to serious consequences, violence and frivolous play with other people's feelings - the murder.By this philosophy brings us Bunin.
"Easy breathing" life
essence of character is that she lives, not just plays a role in the play.In the same and its fault.Being alive without respecting the rules of the game - is to be doomed.The environment in which there Meshcherskaya, completely devoid of a holistic, organic sense of beauty.Life here is subject to strict rules, the violation of which leads to the inevitable retribution.So tragic is the fate of Oli.Her death is natural, says Bunin."Light breath", however, did not die along with the heroine, and the solution is in the air, filling it with him.In the final sound so the idea of the immortality of the soul.
