The problem of relations between generations in Russian literature

problem of relations between generations is one of the eternal questions of morality.Time accelerates its course, people do not have time for him.Social institutions, codes, standards keep the traditions of the past.The same trend today, not to mention the future, turn into a storm in a musty vault past.

In this article we will highlight not only the relations between generations, but also to reflect on this question in the works of Russian writers.

essence and origins of the problem

Today in our runaway world in terms of total globalization becomes a problem of relations between generations noticeably sharp.It seems that children are alienated from their parents not one, but several steps at once.

feature fight of the new with the old is that the former does not always work out of it a winner.Adults have more leverage, unshakable confidence in his rightness, need to be respected and the head of the child.

Next we look at this problem from the point of view of scientists and psychologists, as well as learn how to see the writers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Especially interesting material will be students who are preparing for exams.Often one of the following happens: "The problems of the relationship between the generations."The writing of this task you can easily write after reading this article.

Today the emphasis has shifted from the experience of older generations on the achievements of their peers.Almost all the knowledge of the parents the child receives in the "stale" state.Nowadays lifetime innovation sometimes varies within a few days or hours.

In adolescence boys and girls are forced to undergo a kind of initiation stage.They need to learn to control their emotions, be prudent and wise.This is called the "mature".The difficulty is that the accelerated pace of life, parents often do not yet fully crystallized into a holistic mature person.Or their way is good only for the heroes of the novel of the nineteenth century.

The problem is that parents often can not even tell offspring how to act in this or that situation.After all, they have never conducted a youth under the present.What was once considered revolutionary, today's youth belong to the era of the Stone Age.

Let's look at the issue of disagreement between parents and children.As it is seen by psychologists and writers?

what psychologists say

If the job concerns the problem of intergenerational relationships, work can start with the opinions of experts on this topic.

Now we will talk about some of the research, conducted by scientists to study the psychology of the adult generation.They believe that the main problem lies in the inability of seniors to understand the inconsistency in matters of education.

appears that complacency and the belief that past experience is a benchmark by which to measure must be "correct" the child is the foundation for the contention.It turns out that adults speak the same language, and the children - totally on the other.

Moreover, in terms of psychology, the problem of relations between generations was often comes from parents.The most common complaint from the children: "They did not want to hear."

Experiments were performed to confirm this hypothesis.We give a description and the results of one of them.

The school offered a tenth grade students rate themselves on a scale.Measure had inner qualities such as kindness, sociability, creativity, and others.The second task was to determine how the same quality will appreciate parents.The older generation were asked to rate their children, and then predict their self-esteem.

The result was that children accurately imagine, think of them parents, fathers and mothers, in turn, completely unaware of their offspring.
remaining studies have shown, except for this point, a number of difficulties in relations between children and adults.Thus, it was revealed that the child is more outspoken with his mother than to his father.The second bad thing is that many of the things that adolescents are not accepted to discuss in our society.

Topics feelings of openness, sexual pose an insurmountable barrier between the generations in the family.Such a turn of events leads to a formal communication and routinization of relations.

Turgenev "Fathers and Sons»

According to many critics, most fully illuminated the problem of relations of generations in the novel "Fathers and Sons."In principle, it is given the most attention, but you will soon see that there are other works that affect this issue.

Ivan Sergeyevich in his novel shows not just a confrontation of father and son in a single family.Here the problem of relations between generations is portrayed as Kirsanov and Bazarov are not relatives.

first young nihilist and revolutionary democrat.Pavel Petrovich as shown monarchist and aristocrat to the marrow.The clash of ideologies and forms the basis of the plot.

We see that Yevgeny Bazarov inclined to deny everything, putting science above all other values.The image of the landscape of Switzerland, for example, it is interesting only from a geological point of view.He is pragmatic, trying to prove the superiority of the new views.However, in late Eugene dies with the thought that Russia was not adopted.

antagonist is Kirsanov Bazarov.He loves to talk about the "Russian idea" simple peasant life.But in fact, all his words are an illusion.He tends only to talk about it, the actions show otherwise.

Like many other writers of the nineteenth century, Ivan Turgenev is on the side of the young generation.It shows through the prism of the novel and the agony of the old world in the throes of the birth of a new philosophy of society.

Tolstoy, "War and Peace»

Next, we will consider the problem of relations between generations in the novel "War and Peace."Here Tolstoy, being a connoisseur of human souls and motives, shows three different families.They have a different social status, values ​​and traditions.For example Bolkonski Kuragin and growth we see almost the entire palette of Russian citizens of the nineteenth century.

However, in the novel shows not only the relations between different generations, but the friction of various strata of society.Prince Andrew, for example, children are brought up within the service to the Fatherland.Honor and benefit for other people, he puts above all.These grow Andrew and Maria.However, the old prince often go too far in raising what he lamented on his deathbed.

Kuragino also shown the complete opposite Bolkonsky.It careerists who above all putting public position.Their example illustrates the cold attitude of parents to children.Absence of sensuality and confidence becomes a natural and Helen Anatole.

fact, Tolstoy shows with the help of family Kuragin empty of people who are interested exclusively tangible assets and gloss.

stark contrast are the Rostov.It portrayed the ideal family.Parents fully support Nicholas and Natasha.Children can always turn to him for help when they need it.This kind of totally different from the aristocratic and Bolkonskis by careerists Kuragin.

Thus, in the first two works mentioned by us more fully disclosed relationship problem of generations.Writer (CSE) would be best to write, starting precisely from these novels.

Paustovsky, "Telegram»

when discussing the problem of relations between the generations, the arguments "of life" will be the best.Story Paustovsky affect most painful strings of the human soul.It describes a situation where the children forget their parents.

This is the second extreme, which may fall family.Often, the reason is not so much a problem of education as detrimental aspects of social influence.

sometimes unprepared for the real world aggression teenagers fall into the vortex of foreign targets.They live the ideals of others and lose themselves.If the parents could not teach a child to the child that his house will be in any state, the young people disengage.

Thus, we have a problem there is a multi-faceted relations between generations.Arguments in favor of proper education and other preventive measures can be brought, but it is better to show the terrible consequences of the deepening chasm.

It is these examples we see in the works of many writers.In the "Telegram", in particular, the daughter of late.When she came to her senses and came to visit his mother in the village, she found only a grave mound and plain gravestone.

Paustovsky show that pride, suppressed anger and other barriers to the warm relationship between the family, always lead to tragedy "hurt."Therefore, the best way to solve the problem of the relationship between the generations will be forgiveness and a sincere desire to understand the interlocutor.

Gogol "Taras Bulba»

rather acute problem of relations between generations in Russian literature stands and in the work of Gogol.He refers to the sudden and terrible side of the realization of this moment.

The story is illustrated by the murder of the father of her child for the sake of his own sense of honor and pride.Taras Bulba could not forgive and endure the betrayal of the ideals of the part of Andrew.He takes revenge on him for the fact that the young man grew up not what he brought.

On the other hand, it punishes the Poles for the death of his youngest son - Ostap.

Thus, in this work we see the bitter truth of reality.Fathers rarely aspire to in order to understand their children.They just want them to realize their concept of "perfect life."

That is why is the eternal problem of relations between generations.Arguments in favor of the Russian Writers' inability to solve it you'll find in this article.Next we will look at different areas of the question.

But after reading most of the works of studies and there is an impression that with age people awake at the gene level Domostroi ideals.

«elder son" - a play and a film

us now discuss the problem of relations between generations (the exam often includes it in the list of tasks).Let's look at comedy Vampilov "eldest son."It is written in the late sixties of the twentieth century.

important works that are intertwined for generations.We see the relationship between the three: fathers, older and younger children.

essence of comedy is an innocent joke, which grew into a significant stage in the life of the whole family.Two friends (Bulgakov and Silva) trapped in a strange city late, late for transport.They - in search of accommodation.

In the city, they found a family Sarafanova.Silva said their new friend that his son Gagarin.A man receives a message at face value, because it was "peccadillo youth."

essence of the work lies in the fact that BUSYGIN has to be a link between father and children, who do not put in anything their parents.

We see already quite mature "youngest" Vassenka that jealousy burns housing Natalia.Nina called Busygina sister, wants to run with the groom to the Far East, but it keeps the newly-born brother.

an impulse of feeling, the deceiver of all recognized.In the product all ends well.But the main emphasis is still available.The situation created in comic form for easy perception and comfortable introduction to the comedy "family friend."

It is through the prism of a third-party view of the problem of relations between the family opened generations.Writing Vampilov fundamentally different from similar works of the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries.It is here that we see the pattern that exists in our time.

Domostroi tradition has actually become obsolete, but the softness and thoughtless love of many parents play with them a cruel joke when the children grow up.

Fonvizin Griboyedov and

problem of relations between generations in "Woe from Wit" is disclosed as an example Famusov and Chatsky.Let's take a detailed look at these symbolic images.

old generation is characterized by the worship of reasons, wealth and position in society.It is afraid, he does not understand and hate the new trends.FAMUSOV stuck in the last century burgher worldview.His only desire - to find her daughter-in-law from the ranks so the stars on his chest.

Chatsky also is a complete contrast to Paul Afanasievich.It is not only in words domostroevskie denounces the foundations of the past, but all show the behavior of the corruption of the old and the new world power.

Molchalin is also the same age Chatsky, but contrasts with him in thought, purpose and behavior.He is pragmatic, duplicity and hypocrisy.Above all, for him - a warm place and money.That is why young people around Famusov please, quiet and modest with Sophia.

In personal life Chatsky drama happens.His girlfriend called him crazy and repels, preferring "the serving with the rank."But despite this, the reader shows up comedy open.It is the "Carbonari" and the rebels will replace traditional chinopoklonstvu and mossy old nobility.

In the "ignoramus" also highlights the problem of relations between generations.The writing is terrific decoding sayings: "Apple does not fall far from the tree."Here we see a different aspect of the relationship between parents and children.Education, which is intended not to help the child find themselves in life and realized, and reflect an outdated view of the world mother.

So, in the comedy "The Minor", we see a result that had Ms. Prost.It is by all means to protect the child from the "hated" the world and corrupt society.Teachers hired him only because it is "commanded Peter".And teachers have not differed Mitrofanushka scholarship.

Comedy written in the classical vein, so all the names in her speaking.Teachers Tsifirkin, Kuteikin, Vralman.Sonny Mitrofan, which translated from Greek means "like a mother", and indeed Prost.

We see disappointing results of blindly following the dogmas of the dead without any attempts at comprehension.

Confront old traditions Starodum, Pravdin and some other characters.They reflect the commitment of the new society to see in person the soul, not the empty gilded shell.

As a result of the conflict, we get quite ruthless, greedy and stupid "ignoramus.""I do not want to learn, want to get married" - that is the most accurate reflection of its essence.

lighting problems in the works of Pushkin

One of the eternal moral issues - is the problem of relations between generations.Arguments of modern society are rarely fully correspond to the literary images.The closest situation is mentioned in the "eldest son" of which we spoke earlier.

Works as classics of the nineteenth century, young people are often useful only in global terms.General ethical and moral themes that are affected by them, will be more relevant than one century.

problem of relations between the generations in the works of Pushkin covered many times.Examples include the following: "The Captain's Daughter", "Postmaster", "Boris Godunov," "The Miserly Knight" and some others.

Alexander, probably, did not set a goal to reflect precisely this conflict, like Tolstoy and Turgenev.The clash of generations is part of everyday life from the time of primitive people.Just in time the gap between parents and children is becoming larger.On this affects progress, changing social values, globalization and many other factors.

In particular, in "The Stationmaster" the situation is similar to that which was subsequently highlighted Paustovsky (as we mentioned above).Here Samson Vyrin daughter runs away from his father's house to the hussar.She gets into urban society becomes rich and respectable mistress.

When her father finds he does not know and does not want to take a new image of her daughter.Samson returned to the station, which becomes an inveterate drunkard and die.Here the conflict is formed due to a different sense of who the characters are investing in the concept of "happiness".
