An analysis of the poem "Borodino" Lermontov M.Yu.

The poem "Borodino" by Lermontov was dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the victory of Russians over the French. Mikhail Yurievich became the first poet to highlight the history of the country in the way that its people see, not rulers and officials. In 1837, the victory was celebrated at the state level, the Moscow Cathedral of the Christ the Savior was laid in Moscow, and in churches the memory of the fallen heroes was honored by the moleben. Lermontov also decided to do his bit and remember the exploits of the people in the poem. For the first time the work was published in the journal Sovremennik, where Pushkin worked as editor-in-chief. Alexander Sergeevich decided to support the young poet and skip his creation.

Simple warriors who survived all the hardships of the war, lost comrades in the battles, were wounded - these are the main heroes of Borodino. Lermontov entrusted the story of heroic deeds to the veteran, acting in opposition to conservative poetry. The narrator himself does not say much about himself, the poem rarely meets "I", more often "we". The image of a veteran can be drawn not through a verbal portrait, but through a speech manner. The soldier is rude and simple-minded, but at the same time strong and noble.

The author was not lost behind the words of the narrator, his voice is also clearly audible, that is why Lermontov's Borodino combines the verbose vocabulary and literary turns with the book speech. Before Mikhail Yurievich many writers composed ode, songs, ballads on the theme of the Patriotic War, all these works united a common spirit - they glorified the heroes. The work of Lermontov made a deafening impression on the society, it's like after hundreds of books and poems of military themes appear the records of ordinary soldiers who participated in bloody battles, those who saw death.

Borodino Lermontov was written in a new manner for the nineteenth century, as the narrative is written on behalf of the participant in the battle of Borodino, an old soldier who tells the author's contemporary about those tragic events. The emphasis in the poem is not made on victory, but on regret on the enemy given to Moscow. The work has a delightful musicality, so the verse was created a march, and the folk song was often sung in military ensembles.

The poem M.Yu. Lermontov's "Borodino" is written in a complex iambic text, so the reader perceives it as a colloquial speech. In the work there are many epithets, speeches, figurative expressions. Some lines became winged. During the battle near Moscow in World War II, many soldiers perceived the words of Mikhail Yurievich "Guys! Is it Moscow behind us? "At his own expense, as if he was describing their fight and urged not to fall into the mud with his face, not to disgrace the military glory of his ancestors.

Borodino Lermontov is not only the celebration of the heroic exploits of ordinary soldiers, but also the regret of the faint-heartedness and inaction of the modern generation. The veteran sighs: "Yes, there were people in our time, not that the present tribe." Contemporaries of the poet only envy the glory of their ancestors, but they themselves are far from great deeds, they doze in idleness.
