Analysis of the poem block The Nightingale Garden.

The hero of the poem - it is written in the first person - is a worker; he comes to the sea at low tide to earn his living by hard work - to chop layered rocks with a pick and crowbar. The mined stone is carried on a donkey to the railway. It’s hard for both animals and humans. The road passes by a shady, cool garden hidden behind a high lattice. Roses are reaching out from behind the fence toward the worker, somewhere in the distance “the song of a nightingale is heard, streams and leaves are whispering something,” quiet laughter and barely audible singing can be heard.

Wonderful sounds torment the hero, he falls into thoughtfulness. Dusk - the day ends - increases anxiety. The hero imagines another life: in his miserable shack he dreams of a nightingale garden, fenced off from the damned world by a high lattice. Again and again he remembers the white dress he dreamed of in the blue twilight - it beckons him “and calls him with whirling and singing.” This continues every day, the hero feels that he is in love with this “inaccessibility of the fence.”

While the tired animal is resting, the owner, excited by the proximity of his dream, wanders along the usual road, which has now, however, become mysterious, since it is this road that leads to the bluish twilight of the nightingale’s garden. The roses, weighed down by dew, hang lower than usual from behind the trellis. The hero is trying to understand how he will be greeted if he knocks on the desired door. He can no longer return to dull work; his heart tells him that they are waiting for him in the nightingale’s garden.

Indeed, the hero’s premonitions are justified - “I didn’t knock - she herself opened the impregnable doors.” Deafened by the sweet melodies of nightingale singing and the sounds of streams, the hero finds himself in a “foreign land of unfamiliar happiness.” This is how the “beggar’s dream” becomes a reality - the hero finds his beloved. “Scorched” by happiness, he forgets his past life, hard work and an animal that had long been his only companion.

So, behind a wall overgrown with roses, in the arms of his beloved, the hero spends his time. However, even in the midst of all this bliss, he cannot help but hear the sound of the tide - “the nightingale autumn is not free to drown out the rumble of the sea!” At night, the beloved, noticing the anxiety in his linden tree, constantly asks her beloved about the reason for the melancholy. In his visions, he sees a high road and a loaded donkey wandering along it.

One day the hero wakes up, looks at his beloved sleeping serenely - her dream is beautiful, she smiles: she is dreaming of him. The hero opens the window - the sound of the tide is heard in the distance; Behind it, it seems to him, one can discern a “calling, plaintive cry.” The donkey screams - protractedly and for a long time; the hero perceives these sounds as a groan. He draws the curtain over his beloved, trying to keep her from waking up longer, and goes outside the fence; the flowers, “like hands from the garden,” cling to his clothes.

The hero comes to the seashore, but does not recognize anything around him. There is no house - in its place lies a rusty scrap covered with wet sand.

It is not clear whether he sees this in a dream, or whether it happens in reality - from the path trodden by the hero, “where the hut used to be / A worker with a pick began to descend, / Chasing someone else’s donkey.”

Lyrical hero poems. The lyrical hero himself calls himself "poor and destitute". His whole life is hard work, and all he has is a donkey, a pickaxe and a hut. "Nightingale Garden" gives him the opportunity to live another life, where “Curses do not reach life”. Every day he takes the same path, but the desire to enter the garden becomes stronger. And what is there behind the fence: “whether punishment or reward awaits”? Once behind the fence, the hero loses contact with real world “I woke up at the misty dawn of an unknown day”. Life without constant movement loses its usual meaning. Blok uses the image of the sea in his poem. It is a symbol of life. When the hero gets into the garden, he stops hearing "roar of the sea", but when the desire to return to real life appears, he hears again "roar of waves". Through symbolic images the author tried to convey the idea of ​​the triumph of the real over the illusory. Only real life may be complete.

Literary direction. In the mature poetry of Alexander Blok, there is a liberation from abstract mystical-romantic symbols. His works acquire vitality and concreteness. There is a transition from symbolism to realism. The first attempts at changing direction are reflected in the poem “The Nightingale Garden.” But even in the descriptions real life there are still many symbolic images.

• “Stranger”, analysis of the poem

A. Blok wrote the poem “The Nightingale Garden” during his affair with the opera singer L. A. Andreeva-Delmas. A reference to the fact that this poem is about their relationship is the song sung by the stranger in the piece. Below is an analysis of Blok's "Nightingale Garden".

The plot of the poem

In the analysis of Blok's "The Nightingale Garden" you need to briefly talk about the plot of the work. It's pretty simple: main character- a poor worker who has only an old house and a faithful donkey. Every day he walks the same road to his hard work. The hero passes by a beautiful garden that calls to him. But every time the worker does not dare to open the gate.

But one day he finally decided to enter the wonderful garden. Both his beauty and the beautiful singing of the nightingales amazed the hero. Once in that heavenly place, he forgot about time and his faithful comrade. But after some time, he began to miss his work, labor, and the excitement of life. Therefore, the hero left the garden. But when he arrived, he saw neither his house nor his donkey.

In the analysis of Blok's "The Nightingale Garden" it should be noted that the plot is based on opposition. The hero chooses between two full of experiences, worries, labor, or the one in which pleasure, beauty and tranquility awaited him. The poem contrasts work and laziness. And the hero began to miss the activities that filled his life with meaning.

Short review

A brief chapter-by-chapter analysis of Blok’s “The Nightingale Garden” allows us to show readers the full depth of the plot, despite its apparent simplicity. The first parts describe the everyday life of the hero of the poem. Every time he passes by a beautiful garden, he hears someone’s beautiful singing.

And so in his hut he thought about his life. And the hero understands that he will not lose anything if he decides to enter this garden. The worker falls more and more in love with the beauty of the place. These chapters show that the hero is tired of the bustle of life, boring and monotonous reality. We can also conclude that the hero is selfish. He didn’t even have the thought of taking his faithful comrade, the old donkey, with him.

In the third chapter, the hero is overcome by doubts: what choice is better to make? He is frightened by the unknown: what awaits him there, beyond the fence of the nightingale’s garden? And in the next chapter he finds himself in a world of beauty, tranquility and love. The garden turned out to be much more beautiful than in his wildest dreams. Intoxicated by new impressions and the realization that his dreams have come true, the hero forgets both his duties and his friend.

The fifth and sixth chapters describe the life of a worker in the nightingale garden. He has lost track of time, he doesn't care about anything. Only occasionally - the sound of waves, which could not be drowned out by the song of the nightingale. And the sea reminded him of the real life he left behind. But the love and affection of the heroine allowed him to forget all his worries and doubts.

One day the hero heard the cry of his donkey, and he decided to leave the garden. The seventh chapter tells how, upon returning, he could not find either his home or his friend. And someone else is doing his work, and another donkey is helping him. Unable to appreciate what happened in his real life, spending his time in constant idleness, the hero lost the meaning of life. You need to be able to appreciate everything that exists in real life, and not try to live only in dreams.

Main character

In the analysis of Blok's "The Nightingale Garden" it is necessary to give brief description the hero of the poem. The lyrical hero is a simple person, tired of routine and worries. He himself characterizes himself as a “poor, destitute man.” His life consists of hard work, he has nothing but a hut and a donkey. That is why he is so eager to get into that garden where he can live without worrying or worrying about anything.

Once in the garden, the hero lost touch with reality. He didn't know how much time had passed or what was happening. It was as if he hid from all the problems and worries in his dreams. Therefore, the hero no longer heard the sound of the waves. In the analysis of the poem “The Nightingale Garden” by Blok, it should be noted that the sea acts as a symbol of life.

And when the hero gets tired of constant idleness, he again hears the sounds of real life. Thus, the reader sees that it is in real life, in communication with real people, that there is meaning.

Literary tropes

Also in the analysis of Blok’s “Nightingale Garden” it is necessary to determine which literary techniques the author resorted to when writing the poem. The poet used a hidden antithesis - the opposition of the garden and the sea. To give more artistic expression A. Blok used personification, a large number of epithets, comparison and metonymy.

In a more mature period of creativity, the poet began to move away from the symbolist direction. And this poem reflected the first attempts of his transition to realism. But still, there were still signs of symbolism in this work. This article presented an analysis of Blok's poem "The Nightingale Garden".

There are two roads in front of the hero of the poem. One is work, hard and monotonous. The other is the love of a beautiful woman, the peace and charm of the nightingale’s garden. The hero leaves his miserable hut, his faithful assistant donkey, and goes there, to the alluring nightingale garden. But very soon he realizes that happiness was there, on the rocky paths along which he walked with his donkey. The hero leaves the beautiful garden and his tender beloved, but too late. Neither his hut nor his donkey are any longer there, and another man is descending along the path trodden by his feet.
The poem contrasts two themes. The first is everyday prosaic life, filled with content and action. The second is a heavenly life, without work or purpose. The text of the poem consists of seven chapters. From the very beginning, the first theme arises, which, echoing the second, continues for three chapters. Already from the fourth chapter, the hero finds himself in the garden. Only four stanzas are devoted to being in the garden, the second theme. And then the first theme appears again, but this is no longer life filled with content and action, but the result of being in the garden - loneliness, the meaninglessness of existence.
Behind the fence of the Nightingale Garden, the hero “breaks layered rocks,” his “mind is clouded by knowing,” he “dreams of another life.” And in the nightingale’s garden the hero, “intoxicated with golden wine,” “forgot about the rocky path.”
When the hero’s stay behind the garden fence is described, “heavy” words are used: “drags,” “pieces,” “starts to scream.” And to describe the hero’s stay in the garden, gentle, romantic expressions are used: “the nightingale’s melody,” “streams and leaves whisper,” “streams began to sing.”
K. Chukovsky reproached A. Blok for the “excessive sweetness” of “The Nightingale’s Garden.” But it is possible to “justify” the poet. The description of the garden can only be “overly mellifluous.” Because such a life cannot be depicted in any other way; no other description can be applied to it.
plays in the poem big role image of the sea. The sea symbolizes everyday life, the “rumble” is endless, hard work, noise, life. The “life curse” does not reach the Garden of Eden, but there is no life itself there. The hero is drawn back to the everyday life he abandoned, because a person cannot be happy without work and purpose. In the pink chains, something turned out to be hopelessly lost; the nightingale’s song cannot drown out the “rumble of the sea.”
The main idea of ​​the poem, I think, is precisely this.
To the hero’s question: “Will there be punishment or reward if I deviate from the path?” Blok answers at the end of the poem. It is not for nothing that he gives a scene of a clash of crabs in the poem. This scene emphasizes the depth of the hero’s loneliness, which arose due to the fact that he deviated from the path.
The poem “The Nightingale Garden” is considered romantic. The period of writing this poem is a transitional period in the writer’s work. The transition from symbolism to realism is reflected in the poem. There are a lot of symbols here, even when describing real life, a lot of romance. But realism wins.

Analysis of Blok’s poem “The Nightingale Garden”

All of Blok’s creations can be divided into realistic and romantic. But the poem “The Nightingale Garden” combines both directions. The plot is simple, but it makes everyone think deeply. There lived a man, everyday hard work was familiar to him.

And suddenly fate offers heavenly forests with a carefree existence. And the hero of the poem, without hesitation, plunges headlong into idleness, he forgets about the thorny path that he has followed all his adult life. Intoxicated with the wine of idle pastime, he does not live, but exists without a goal, without a specific task.

And yet Blok showed us a real Man who is able to overcome the temptations of the “nightingale’s garden.” The hero realized the depravity of the rose-colored shackles he found himself in. Loneliness and a feeling of uselessness weigh on the former hard worker. He misses the roar of the sea, he is ready to break the layered rocks again and thus benefit society. With all his soul he wants to return to a life that had both meaning and content.

For a very short time, only four stanzas out of seven chapters, Blok’s hero is in the garden with a sugary chant, where everything is presented in pink color. Realizing his mistake, he reproaches himself for the rash act he committed. Although, once upon a time, in a difficult reality, he dreamed of a different life, which he probably dreamed about. However, finding himself in seemingly ideal conditions, the person felt out of place, because he found himself “out of work.”

Despite the fact that the nightingale garden is symbolic, the work itself is full of real experiences. Through his hero, Blok shows everyone how worthless life is if there is no specific goal in it to which you strive. At the same time, the author pushes us to think that life situations can be very different. A person stumbles, leaves the “right” road, and seeks an “easy” life. But, if “copper pipes” and a nightingale’s garden do not become dear to a person, then he is not a dummy. Therefore, there is always the opportunity to return to the thorny, but your path.

It’s amazing: years go by, centuries replace each other, but humanity still has the same problems. It seems that Blok lives today, somewhere in next door and talks about our contemporary. But how brilliantly the plot is conceived, how accurately the idea is presented, that even today an adequate reader will absolutely accurately interpret the author’s idea. I admire and pay tribute to the great Blok.

Analysis of A.A. Blok’s poem "Nightingale Garden"

"Nightingale Garden"

IN romantic poem“The Nightingale Garden” by A.A. The block draws two worlds opposed to each other. The first is characterized by heat, layered rocks and a muddy seashore. Ego everyday world human existence filled with daily hard work. And next to it is another world, magical, sublime and sophisticated. This is a wonderful garden with coolness, nightingale trills and beautiful roses and songs. It is into this that the stubborn donkey of the hero of the poem strives to curl up.

What does the sophisticated romantic image of the “nightingale garden” symbolize? The reader receives a more specific answer to this question in the second chapter of the poem, where the image of a woman in white appears, calling lyrical hero with its singing and beckons with its circling.

A.A. The block shows how poor and monotonous the life of a lonely person is and how it can be transformed when love settles in the hero’s heart. In the third chapter, the magical spell of the nightingale’s garden spreads beyond its fence. The “familiar, empty, rocky” path begins to seem “mysterious” to the lyrical hero of the poem, as it leads to an alluring fence. The roses from the Nightingale Garden are falling lower and lower. The heart tells you that you need to enter the garden and become a welcome guest there.

In the fourth chapter, the lyrical hero finally decides to open doors that previously seemed impregnable. And, to his surprise, they open up for him on their own. Heavenly bliss awaits the lyrical hero in the garden. The image of happiness is depicted in emphatically romantic tones: the coolness of lilies, the monotonous song of streams and the sweet trills of nightingales, the ringing of wrists and, finally, the feeling of intoxication with wine and golden fire. The lyrical hero forgets about his work, about the donkey left behind the fence.

However, in the fifth chapter, the author exclaims: “The Nightingale’s song is not free to drown out the rumble of the sea!” These lines emphasize the essence of Blok’s understanding of happiness. No highest pleasure (even love) can replace a person’s feeling of accomplishment, the understanding that he is on his way. “The Nightingale’s Song” in this context can be perceived as a symbol of dreams of personal happiness, love, and idle pleasures. “Sea” is the same, as is customary in classical literature, symbolizes life in a broad sense, the established world order. If in the first chapter of the poem, when the hero breaks rocks and transports their pieces on a donkey to the railway, the fruit drink behaves benevolently, peacefully, the tide begins to ebb, then in the fifth chapter it rumbles, trying to be heard. And the soul of the lyrical hero hurries to the sound of the surf.

In the sixth chapter, the hero leaves his sleeping beloved and goes to the pitiful cries of a donkey and the measured blows of the waves. Only the thorns of beautiful roses, “like hands from the garden,” try to hold him.

In the seventh chapter, the hero of the poem faces a heavy retribution for breaking his duty: the sea tide destroyed his house on the shore. And his workplace another person took over. For short-term happiness I had to pay with everything I had. This is the answer to the question posed in the third chapter of the poem: “Is punishment or reward awaiting? What if I stray from the path?

Thus, the main compositional technique the poem contains an antithesis that extends not only to the organization artistic space poems, but also on sound images. Along with the general philosophical interpretation of the poem, there is an opinion in criticism that it contains a polemic by A.A. Blok with supporters of “pure art”. In this regard, “The Nightingale Garden” can be understood as a refusal to depict the problems of historical reality, a retreat into some ideal space and a narrowing of the tasks of the author’s contemporary art.

Features of the composition of A. Blok’s poem “The Nightingale Garden”

Or am I lost in the fog?

Or is anyone joking with me?

A subtle lyricist and master of composition, Alexander Blok made a great contribution to Russian and world classical poetry. Paying tribute to romanticism and symbolism, the poet creates a beautiful work - the poem “The Nightingale Garden”. in which it speaks ornately, beautifully and mysteriously about the meaning of life and man’s place in it.

The work is built on Blok’s favorite technique - antithesis. In the initial chapters, the poet describes a long and thorny path fortunately for a person. The narration is conducted according to the laws of the genre - outside of time and space.

I break layered rocks

At low tide on the muddy bottom,

And my tired donkey drags

Their pieces are on their furry back.

Let's take it to the railway,

Let's put them in a heap and go to the sea again

Hairy legs lead us

And the donkey starts screaming.

And very close by there is another world, a beautiful nightingale garden with blooming rose bushes and loudly murmuring streams. This unknown and mysterious world beckons the lyrical hero, makes him think about own life, its meaning. Why is he in a poor hut in a miserable situation when he is very close Wonderland, you just have to stretch out your hand, push the garden gate and find yourself in another world, next to a gentle and loving creature.

In the third chapter, Blok shows the confusion and doubt of the hero, whose soul is yearning for the magical garden.

The tired donkey is resting,

A crowbar is thrown on the sand under a rock,

And the owner wanders in love

Behind the night, behind the sultry haze.

In the next chapter, the poet says that the hero’s experiences and fears were in vain; he did not have to overcome difficulties making his way into the nightingale’s garden.

My heart spoke the truth,

And the fence was not scary,

I didn’t knock - I opened it myself

She is an impenetrable door.

Once in Magic world, the hero enjoys its beauty and peace, but the nightingale’s song cannot “drown out the roar of the sea.” This is the symbolic noise of life outside the garden, perhaps the roar of the crowd, the everyday life of the city, from which you cannot hide behind any walls. In the sixth chapter, Blok describes the hero’s struggle with himself, when, being in wonderful world, he strives “to freedom.” to his former hard work and his companion - the donkey.

Yes, the hero did monotonous work, but he was free to leave at any time, and in the garden he is a prisoner - albeit of love, but these are strong nets.

And, going down the stones of the fence,

I broke the flowers' oblivion.

Their thorns are like hands from the garden,

They clung to my dress.

The seventh chapter is the most mysterious and interesting. The hero returns to his hut and does not recognize the previous situation; something has subtly changed around him.

Or am I lost in the fog?

Or is anyone joking with me?

No, I remember the outline of the stones,

A skinny bush and a rock above the water.

Life does not tolerate emptiness. Another worker has already replaced our lyrical hero. He does the same job going down to the sea.

And from the path trodden by me,

Where the hut used to be,

A worker with a pick began to descend.

Chasing someone else's donkey.

Life moves inexorably forward, replacing the departed new hero, and so on endlessly: the passage of time cannot be stopped. Blok emphasizes this idea by using a ring composition in his poem, symbolizing the continuous passage of time. The poem “The Nightingale Garden” is mysterious and captivating. Blok managed to express his aesthetic and philosophical views. This work gives readers the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful Russian language, fascinating with its sonority, harmony and beauty.

If it’s not available anywhere, write it yourself. Imagine yourself as a great critic and write about feelings, experiences, loneliness.

Picture for the essay analysis of the poem Nightingale Garden

The main character of A. Blok's poem "The Nightingale Garden" is a poor worker who sees nothing in his life except hard work, accustomed to his joyless life. All his property is an old house and a donkey, a faithful companion in life.

Every day the hero walks along the same path past a wonderful garden. From there you can hear someone's charming laughter, the murmuring of a stream, the trill of a nightingale. The hero understands that there, behind the impregnable fence, there is a completely different life, not similar to his gray existence. The garden attracts the poor fellow, but he does not dare to go there. He is tormented by the question: will he be punished if he leaves his usual path and looks into the garden?

One day he finally opened the gate and found himself in the desired place. Magnificent garden, magical singing nightingale, hitherto unknown sensations made him forget his old life. She meets him there and surrounds him with affection and love. The hero lost track of time. He spends time in the garden without worries and sadness. Sometimes through the wonderful sounds of the garden a rumble can be heard sea ​​waves, reminding him of life outside the garden, but he brushes these thoughts aside.

At some point the hero came to his senses. He thought he heard the cry of a donkey calling him. He managed to escape from the sweet shackles and returned home. But he could not return to his usual life. He never saw his house or the old donkey again. Someone else was doing his work, and another donkey was helping him. Intoxicated by the sweet life and empty dreams, the hero lost everything he had in real life. So, at the end of the poem he received an answer to his question about possible punishment.

The meaning of the poem is that hobbies, no matter how strong they may be, are temporary, but work and serving one’s calling are constant. Without work, life has no meaning; sooner or later, idleness begins to weigh down a person.
