Anna Petrovna submitted to the will of her parents with despair. After 9 years she left her husband. After his death, Anna Petrovna remarried. She and her husband lived poorly, but in love and harmony. Anna Petrovna was an extraordinary woman: charming, intelligent, educated, with literary abilities.

The first meeting of Pushkin and A.P. Kern took place in 1819 in St. Petersburg at a ball. Pushkin liked Anna Petrovna, he tried to show her signs of attention. But she did not notice him, as she was absorbed in how I. A. Krylov expressively read one of his fables.

6 years later, in the summer of 1825, Anna Petrovna came to her aunt at the Trigorskoye estate. Pushkin at this time was in exile in the neighboring Mikhailovskoye estate. He came to Trigorskoye almost every day. On the day of Anna Petrovna’s departure, the poet gave her the 1st chapter of “Eugene Onegin”, which included a piece of paper with the poem “I remember a wonderful moment...”.

4. Homework

Learn by heart the poem “I remember a wonderful moment...”.

This poem was written by the poet in Mikhailovsky in 1825. It is dedicated and addressed to A.P. Kern (niece of P.A. Osipova), whom Pushkin met in St. Petersburg in 1819. The poet hands this message to the addressee on the day of Anna Kern’s departure from the estate next to the Pushkins, Trigorskoye, on July 19, 1925.

Theme, genre and composition of the poem “I Remember a Wonderful Moment”

Of course, the main theme of this masterpiece is love. However, there are also reflections young author about the philosophical significance of every moment in human life, about the intrinsic value of each such moment.

The genre of this work is a love letter.

Compositionally, the poem “I Remember a Wonderful Moment” reflects the biography of the author in love. So,

• in the first and second quatrains one can trace Pushkin’s St. Petersburg period. We must remember that the poet met this lady for the first time in 1819.
• And already in the third quatrain the period of the author’s southern exile is depicted.
• In the fourth - “imprisonment” in Mikhailovskoye, where the poet’s days dragged on (without a deity, without inspiration...)
• Fifth and sixth - new meeting and "awakening"

This phenomenon of the “genius of pure beauty” again gives the poet admiration, rapture, enlightenment, and, of course, new lyrical revelations.

Pushkin expresses the omnipotence of love, which cannot be destroyed either by “hopeless sadness” or “anxious worldly vanity.” Wonderful moment true love capable of both resurrecting and giving meaning to life; it is obviously stronger than any suffering and adversity.

Artistic means of the poem

Pushkin pays special attention to them; in the poem “I Remember a Wonderful Moment” there is not much, but they are carefully chosen, which gives this lyric both simplicity and sophistication.

Pushkin epithets

“genius of pure beauty”, “wonderful moment”, “favorite features”

both sublime and surprisingly harmonious.

The simplicity of the author’s image is achieved, at first glance, by familiar, in ordinary words, but the special swiftness and passion are conveyed through metaphors. The poet’s love is not destroyed, only “former dreams” can be dispelled by a “storm of rebellious impulse.”

And the very image of his beloved appears to the poet “like a fleeting vision.” These epithets turn the heroine into an unearthly, slightly mysterious, special creature, but at the same time real and tangible.

It is interesting that Pushkin borrowed the image of “pure beauty” from the poet’s teacher, V. Zhukovsky, which turns it into a literary quotation in this poem.

Separately, it should be noted the melody of the work, which is achieved by syntactic means -

In Pushkin's stanzas of this poem there is an alternation of rhymes:

• Women's - rapture-imprisonment
• Men's - beauty-vanity

The rhyme is of a cross type, alliteration is represented by the sonorant consonants “l”, “m”, “n”.

All this contributes to a special melody of this work. It is well known that this poem especially attracted numerous musicians. Among the famous ones is a romance, moreover, dedicated by Mikhail Ivanovich to the daughter of that same A. Kern.

The poem “I Remember a Wonderful Moment” is written in the author’s favorite meter – iambic tetrameter. Each quatrain is an independent rhythmic unit, the transition between them is soft, dimly expressed through rhymes, which unite the entire work into a single amazing lyrical and melodic composition of the verse.

The theme of love in the lyrics of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is of particular importance. If Nekrasov, for example, had a Muse, which he identified with a peasant woman, then the “sun of Russian poetry” did not have a Muse as such - but there was love, which the poet needed like air, because without love he was not able to create. So they became Pushkin’s Muses earthly women, who once conquered the poet.

It is worth noting that Pushkin was in love many times - often his chosen ones became married women, for example, Elizaveta Vorontsova or Amalia Riznich. Despite the fact that all these high-society ladies were included in Pushkin’s so-called Don Juan list, compiled by him personally, he did not at all imagine the poet’s closeness with his lovers, with the exception of a spiritual, tender friendship. However, Anna Petrovna Kern, to whom the immortal “I remember a wonderful moment...” is dedicated, becomes Pushkin’s most famous Muse.

This woman captivated the poet in St. Petersburg in 1819 at one of the social events. At that time, Kern had already broken up with her unloved husband, so a romance began between her and the talented descendant of “the Blackmoor Peter the Great,” which high society was unable to condemn.

But the epochal poem was created much later, in 1825, when Pushkin again meets ex-lover, and his feelings flare up with renewed vigor. Like Katerina, who became a ray of light in dark kingdom, Anna Petrovna revived the poet, gave him the pleasure of a feeling of love, inspiration, and gave him poetic strength. Thanks to her, one of the most beautiful works of Russian love poetry was born.

So, the history of its creation is well known, which, however, does not prevent literary historians from putting forward other assumptions about the possible addressee of the tender message, including even a certain serf girl Nastenka, about whom, however, nothing is known in Pushkin’s diaries, his personal letters, etc. .

It is important to note that the poem is autobiographical in nature, which is why episodes from the life of the great poet are so easily traced in it, however, the complete identification of the lyrical hero with the author, as well as the lyrical heroine with A.P. Kern, will be incorrect, since the image of the latter, of course, is idealized.

Undoubtedly, the theme of the message “I remember a wonderful moment...” is an intimate revelation, a love confession. As has already been said, Pushkin needed love, not necessarily shared. Thanks to his feelings, he was able to create. At the same time, in the poem one can find philosophical theme the meaning of love in human life.

“I remember a wonderful moment...” - plot poem. In it, the lyrical hero meets a beautiful lover who revives the best feelings in his soul, but over time loses her. Along with the girl, the hero’s romantic dreams and inspiration go away, and the wings curl behind his back. Over the years, the devastation only intensifies, but then the charming woman appears again in the life of her lover, again bringing with her the beautiful, spiritual.

So, if we transfer this plot to the biography of its author, we will note that the first stanza describes the first meeting with Kern in St. Petersburg. The second and third quatrains tell about the southern exile and the period of “imprisonment” in Mikhailovskoye. However, there is a new meeting with the Muse, which resurrects the best in the poet’s soul.

The autobiographical nature of the message determines its composition. Facilities artistic expression quite modest, but at the same time picturesque. The poet resorts to epithets (“ clean" beauty, " wonderful"moment," rebellious"gust of storms, etc.), metaphors (" genius of pure beauty», « awakening of the soul"), personification ( the gust of storms is animated). Particular expressiveness and melody is achieved by using stylistic figures, for example, antitheses.

Thus, the hero lives “without a deity, without inspiration,” which are resurrected as soon as his beloved returns to his life. In the last quatrain you can see anaphora, and in the second - assonance (“a gentle voice sounded to me for a long time”). The entire poem is written using the technique of inversion.

Pushkin's lyrical heroine is an image of some unearthly being, angelic, pure and gentle. No wonder the poet compares her to a deity.

“I remember a wonderful moment...” is written in Pushkin’s favorite iambic tetrameter with cross alternation of female and male rhymes.

Amazing tenderness and touching messages to Kern make romantic work one of the best examples of love lyrics - on a global scale.

“I Remember a Wonderful Moment” is one of the most important works in the lyrics of A.S. Pushkin. People will learn about this poem today school desks, because it has not lost its popularity. The poem is frank confession in the poet's unbridled feelings for Anna Kern, who was famous person in St. Petersburg and was known as an extraordinary beauty. The poet wrote this masterpiece in July 1825, and it was published by Pushkin’s friend A.A. Delvig only in 1827 in the collection “Northern Flowers”.

Love and passion are the main themes that the author touches on in his works. Many of the poet’s works are devoted to this topic. In this poem, Pushkin describes his attitude towards the young beauty, whom he saw at a social reception in 1819 with the Olenins. Since then, there was no peace in Pushkin’s heart; it burned with passion throughout for long years. The southern exile disrupted the opportunity to see his beloved, which the poet recalls in the work. But returning to the village of Mikhailovskoye, he again sees Anna Kern at a reception at the nearby Trigorskoye estate. Feelings flared up with renewed vigor. Unfortunately, the relationship between the young people did not work out, because Anna saw Pushkin only as a promising poet. Pushkin even proposed to her after she divorced her first husband, but was refused.

The main theme of the poem

From the first lines of the poem it becomes clear that it is filled with bright, pure, sincere feelings of love for a woman. This is the main theme of the work. Portrait characteristics the object of Pushkin’s adoration is not here. He gives short description to his beloved: “a genius of pure beauty.” The poem is composed of three parts, each of which describes different period time with a certain mood.

In the first part, the poet mentions the sensations that he experienced when meeting his beloved: “a wonderful moment,” “a fleeting vision.” The use of gentle epithets allows the reader to feel the author’s feelings. The second part of the verse speaks of the poet’s sad period of exile and imprisonment, in which he could not feel anything, having forgotten about the sweet features of the woman he loved. But in the third part, feelings are resurrected with renewed vigor, the poet’s soul comes to life again. He can experience the same sensations as before: “life, tears, and love.” The author's spiritual strength returns again, because love occupies the main place in his life.

“I Remember a Wonderful Moment” can rightfully be called an ode to love for a woman whose beauty is comparable to a genius, that is, a spirit, a model, a standard. This describes a love that neither years of separation, nor captivity, nor mental anguish could subdue.

Structural analysis of the poem

The artistic means used by the author are the use of epithets. The poem contains a single metaphor, which confuses critics, because this did not affect the emotional richness of the poem and its lyricism. The poet uses some other comparisons: “genius of pure beauty”, “fleeting vision”.

The composition of the poem divides it into three parts. They differ in emotional intensity. The mention of the first line at the beginning and at the end of the poem is called a ring composition. The chosen genre of the work is a form of message, a confession of feelings. The poem can be called autobiographical, it clearly highlights the periods of Pushkin’s life: being in St. Petersburg, Southern exile, staying in the Mikhailovskoye family estate. In the text, the author interweaves tender feelings with philosophical thoughts.

The verse is written in iambic pentameter. Cross rhyme is used - with alternating male and female rhymes. Each stanza has a clear meaning and completeness of thought. Due to its melody and ease of perception, the poem has been reproduced more than once as a romance. The most famous romance is musical composition M.I. Glinka.

This poem is considered a masterpiece in poetry. It reveals the sincere feelings of the poet, which makes it possible for future generations to learn about sensuality, tenderness, and the meaning of life, which lies in love. Using the example of a poem, you can understand what it means to truly love.
