Pushkin, "Winter Evening": an analysis of the poem

Pushkin "Winter Evening" wrote in a very difficult period of his life. Perhaps, that is why the feeling of hopelessness, sadness and at the same time of hope for a better future slip in the poem. In 1824 Alexander Sergeevich was allowed to return from the southern exile. What was his disappointment when the poet learned that he was allowed not to live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, but in the old manor estate of Mikhailovsky, cut off from the surrounding world. At that time the whole family of Pushkin lived in the estate .

Relations with his parents were not easy for Alexander Sergeevich, it was especially painful for him to bear the fact that his father was taking over the function of the overseer. Sergei Lvovich checked all the correspondence of his son, controlled literally every step he took. In addition, his father strongly encouraged Pushkin to scandal in the hope that a quarrel under witnesses would help him send his son to prison. Alexander Sergeyevich used every opportunity to leave the estate to visit his neighbors, it was very difficult for him to live with the realization that his relatives betrayed him.

After the parents left Mikhailovskiy to live in Moscow, and this happened in the autumn of 1824, the "Winter Evening" was written. Pushkin wrote his verse in the winter of 1825, by this time the poet had calmed down a bit, he no longer felt monstrous pressure from all sides, but the storm still reigned in his soul. On the one hand, Alexander Sergeyevich feels relieved and hopes for a bright future, but on the other hand he understands the desperation of his situation.

Analysis of Pushkin's poem "Winter Evening" allows you to consider the image of the hero, cut off from the outside world by a snowstorm, the poet himself. In Mikhailovsky he is under house arrest, he can not leave the estate only after agreeing with the supervisory authorities, and even then for a short period. Alexander Sergeyevich is in despair from his imprisonment, so he perceives the storm, then as a little child, then as a terrible beast, then as an afterthought traveler.

Pushkin wrote "The Winter Evening" to convey his true feelings. In the image of a kind old woman his nurse Arina Rodionovna guessed. The poet understands that this woman is almost the only person who loves him. Nanny treats him like a son, cares, protects, helps with wise advice. He enjoys spending free time with her, watching the spindle. Pushkin "Winter Evening" wrote to at least somehow calm down the mental pain. He can not fully enjoy the idyll, because he languishes in captivity.

Whatever it was, but life in Mikhailovsky clearly went to Alexander Sergeyevich for good, he became more reserved, calm, began to pay more attention to his work. Pushkin "Winter Evening" wrote, putting his whole soul into the poem and it is immediately felt. Even after his return to St. Petersburg, the poet repeatedly voluntarily came to his old estate to enjoy rural life, peace, quiet, beautiful landscapes and write new masterpieces.
