My impressions of reading the story “Garnet Bracelet. Thoughts on the story read “Garnet Bracelet” - Composing any on the topic What makes the story of the garnet bracelet think
We are told by the agreement of the strings in a quartet,
That the lonely way is like death.
Shakespeare.
Kuprin, like all writers of all times and peoples without exception, did not bypass the topic of love in his story, but his love is special and unlike anything else - unanswered, but we will return to this issue later.
You can immediately ask the question - did Vera love anyone at all. Or the word love in its understanding is something other than the concept of marital duty, marital fidelity, and not feelings for another person. Probably only one person - her sister, who was everything to her, she never even thought of loving her husband, not to mention Zheltkov, whom she had never seen alive.
Zheltkov, what can be said about him - was he a sick man, and pursued an unfortunate woman, or was he sick with love - unrequited, the most cruel love in the world, which did not give hope for reciprocity. But still, he hoped for the will of fate that she would bring them together, and they would live happily ever after. But no - fate in the face of Vera had other plans, she needed to tell her husband everything - why ?! After all, it was possible to talk to Zheltkov herself, calm him down, politely ask him not to write to her anymore. And that's it.
Kuprin, throughout the story, tries to instill in readers “the concept of love on the verge of life”, and he does this through Zheltkov, for him love is life, therefore there is no love - there is no life. And when Vera’s husband insistently asks to stop love, his life also stops: “... you are offered one of two things: either you completely refuse to persecute Princess Vera
Nikolaevna, or, if you do not agree to this, we will take measures that our position will allow us to…”.
Returning to the question of unrequited love - is love worthy of losing life, losing everything that can be in the world. You can remember Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet: after all, they gave their lives - for love, for the most precious thing they had, in order to have love in heaven. Everyone must answer this question for himself - does he want this, and what is more precious for him - life or love? Zheltkov answered - love: “It so happened that nothing interests me in life: neither politics, nor science, nor philosophy, nor concern for the future happiness of people - for me all life consists only in
You…".
But was there a need for Vera to go look at the dead Zheltkov.
Perhaps it was an attempt to somehow assert itself, not to torment herself for the rest of her life with remorse, to look at the one she refused, and if possible, love him. To understand that there will be nothing like this in her life - “In that second, she realized that the love that every woman dreams of had passed her by. ” . From what we pushed off, we came to that - unrequited love, only now everything is the other way around, she loves him, and he cannot reciprocate her. And who is to blame for this - he himself or his love.
That our life, the game is a game of love? Well, what about the price of life, because life is the most precious thing we have, it is we who are so afraid of losing it, and on the other hand, love is the meaning of our life, without which it will not be life, but will be an empty sound in a not infinite book of human history.
N. N. Nosov Dunno on the MoonEvents are developing two and a half years after the shorties visited the Sunny City, Znaika, together with their scientists Herring and Fuchsia, flew to the Moon from the Sunny City and wanted to fly himself. This idea was very interested in the astronomer Steklyashkin and other residents of the Flower City. Znayka wrote a book where he outlined his pancake theory of the origin of craters on the Moon (in addition to this, there was a volcanic and meteorite theory). He claimed that people could live inside the moon. Nobody believed him, but only laughed. From the moon, he captured a piece of moonstone, which
All the heroes and heroines of A. N. Ostrovsky can be divided into those who have power over others and those who have no rights. In Ostrovsky's later plays, the former acquire the features of "tyranny", while the latter become victims of these "tyrants". As is usually the case in life, there are far fewer victims of tyrants. So, among the female characters of "Thunderstorm" only Boar has power. In The Forest, the role of the sovereign mistress of the fate of her relatives and servants is given to Gurmyzhskaya.
It is no coincidence that Ivan Bezdomny's acquaintance with the Master takes place in the 13th chapter of the novel. In the previous chapter, the author describes and exposes all evil spirits and prepares the reader for the fact that real life events will be described further. In fact, Ivan's meeting with the Master turns out to be nothing more than a confirmation of all that strange and unusual that was described earlier. By this time, we already know all the heroes of the novel, except for the main one. Each of them has already encountered Woland and his unusual retinue. Not only Ivan ended up in a psychiatric hospital after this meeting, but why exactly with Ivan did St.
Zamyatin's novel "We" is a warning about the dangers of totalitarianism. Written in 1920, the work became a prophecy of the horrors of the Stalinist regime that followed in the country. In the form of "We" - a fantastic novel-dystopia. Its action takes place in a certain United State, which was formed on the site of those countries that existed in the "remote twentieth century." The inhabitants of the United State voluntarily renounced the freedom of personal self-realization and chose the lack of freedom of collective happiness. What does a civilization based on faith in the power of the possibility of scientific arrangement of the world turn into?
Preparation for writing
based on the story "Garnet Bracelet"
Lesson Objectives:
- analyze the stages of preparation for writing an essay: choosing an epigraph, formulating the main idea of a future essay, drawing up a plan, using quotes to prove your thoughts;
- develop oral and written speech of students;
- nurture a love for the artistic word.
During the classes
I. Introduction to lesson objectives
Essay topics:
1. My thoughts about the read story by A. I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet".
2. "... what was it: love or madness?" (According to the story "Garnet Bracelet")
Notebooks contain statements about love. In addition, for the first lesson, dedicated to the story of A. I. Kuprin "Garnet Bracelet", students independently selected poems, legends, phrases about love.
II. Stages of work on an essay
1. During the discussion, students name eight stages of preparing for an essay:
1) thinking about the topic of the essay;
2) definition of the main idea of the essay;
3) definition of the genre of the work;
4) selection of material (citations, statements, etc.);
5) drawing up an essay plan;
b) thinking about the introduction to the main part;
7) drawing up a detailed plan of the main part;
(“I chose the first topic. The main word in it, on which I must rely in my work on the essay, is “thoughts”: my thoughts about the characters and their feelings. I will write my essay in the genre of writing, the addressee of which is the author of the work - A. I. Kuprin, because I think that when addressing a specific person, it is easier to express one’s thoughts.”
“I chose the second topic: “... what was it: love or madness”? It is more specific than the first topic. This essay is a reasoning, therefore it must contain a thesis, that is, a thought that needs to be proved, therefore, evidence and a conclusion are needed. The main word in it is either "love" or "madness", depending on what I will prove.")
3. Formulation of the idea of the essay.
(“The feelings of the poor telegraph operator Georgy Zheltkov for Vera Sheina are love, not madness.”
"I tested myself - this is not a disease, not a manic idea - this is love, which God was pleased to reward me for something."
"The rarest gift of high love has become the only content of the life of the Yolks."
“I believe that Zheltkov is not a madman, not a maniac, that his feelings for Vera are not madness, this is love, and I will try to prove my opinion.”
“Your story, dear Alexander Ivanovich, will help readers distinguish true love from falling in love.”)
4. Discussion by students of the selected material to substantiate the main idea of the essay.
Several students read out epigraphs written out from the text of the work of quotation, which they will use to prove the idea of the essay, and try to justify their choice.
“As an epigraph to the essay, I decided to take the words of Shakespeare:
We are told by the harmony of strings in a quartet,
That the lonely way is like death.
Why did I choose this epigraph? I believe that these words echo the tragic fate of Zheltkov described in the story.
(The epigraph is lines from Tyutchev's poem:
Love, love, says the legend
The union of the soul with the soul of the native.
Their unity, combination
And their fatal merger,
And the duel is fatal.
And than one of them is more tender
The more inevitable and more certain
Loving, suffering, passionately mleya,
It wears out at last."
“It seemed to me,” said the prince, “that I was present at the tremendous suffering from which people die, and I even realized that I was in front of a dead person.”
A. I. Kuprin
“I liked the words of Omar Khayyam:
Like the sun burns without burning, love.
Like a bird of heavenly paradise - love.
But not yet love - nightingale groans,
Do not moan, dying of love - love!
It is these lines, in my opinion, that convey the meaning of Kuprin's story "Garnet Bracelet" in the best possible way. They very accurately define the image of the telegraph operator Zheltkov and his feelings for Princess Vera, which is why I take them as an epigraph to my work.")
5. Drawing up an essay plan.
The plan is the framework of the essay. Without it, it is impossible to express your thoughts consistently and logically. Pupils read the prepared essay plans and comment on them.
1. Introduction. In it, I will address the writer with greetings, since I am writing my essay in the epistolary genre.
2. The main part. I called it like this: (My reasoning about love, described in the story "Garnet Bracelet":
a) General Anosov about love;
b) acquired feelings;
c) Zheltkov's love and letters;
d) soulless people;
e) the last letter;
f) sonata number two.
3. Conclusion. M. Gorky about love. The meaning of the story "Garnet Bracelet".
“I will write my essay according to this plan:
1. Introduction. The theme of love in the work of writers and poets.
2. Main part: What was it: love or madness? The main idea is the following words: "I believe that Zheltkov is not a madman, not a maniac, that his feelings for Vera are not madness, but love." As evidence, I cite Zheltkov's letters to Vera.
The main part consists of paragraphs.
a) the depth of Zheltkov's feelings;
b) Zheltkov's last letter;
c) the attitude of Vera's husband to Zheltkov's feelings and letters.
3. Conclusion. The meaning of the story "Garnet Bracelet".
6. Choice of entry.
The introduction is the first paragraph of the essay plan. The text starts with it. Its beginning should be bright, spectacular, arousing the interest of readers in the whole essay.
The teacher and students list and characterize the types of introductions.
1. Historical introduction (the era in which the work was created is characterized, or the history of its creation is described).
2. Analytical introduction (analyzes, explains the meaning of the word from the title of the work or from the work).
3. Biographical (important information from the biography of the writer).
4. Comparative introduction (the approach of different writers to the disclosure of the same topic is compared).
5. Lyrical introduction (on life or literary material).
(1. “Flipping through a tear-off calendar, I drew attention to a small parable by Felix Krivin. In it, he tells how one day “A blade of grass fell in love with the Sun ... Of course, it was difficult for her to count on reciprocity: the Sun has so many things on Earth, How could he notice a small, unsightly Bylinka! Yes, and a pair would be good - Bylinka and the Sun! But Bylinka thought that a couple would be good, and reached out to the Sun with all her might. She reached out to him so stubbornly that she stretched out into a tall, slender Acacia.
“Beautiful Acacia, Wonderful Acacia, who recognizes in her the old blade of grass! That's what love does sometimes, even unrequited."
What a beautiful story... I thought. - But it reminds me of some kind of work. And suddenly the names surfaced in my memory: the telegraph operator Zheltkov and Princess Vera ... Bylinka - Zheltkov and the Sun - Vera.
I think this is a lyrical introduction.
2. “Dear Alexander Ivanovich! An admirer of your work is writing to you. I address you with words of gratitude and respect for your wonderful creations. Of particular interest to me was your story "Garnet Bracelet". This work made a huge impression on me: I am re-reading it for the third time.
This introduction is lyrical.
3. “Love is a favorite subject of writers. In any work you can find pages dedicated to this feeling. Subtly describes Shakespeare's love in the tragedy "Romeo and Juliet", Bulgakov - in the novel "The Master and Margarita". Tyutchev has wonderful lines about love:
Love, love, says the legend,
The union of the soul with the soul of the native.
Their unity, combination
And their fatal merger,
And the duel is fatal.
And than one of them is more tender
In the struggle of unequal two hearts,
The more inevitable and more certain
Loving, suffering, passionately mleya,
It wears out at last.
Kuprin dedicates his story "Garnet Bracelet" to love.
This introduction is comparative.)
During the discussion, students identify the advantages and disadvantages of the read introductions. For example, in the last introduction, in their opinion, it is necessary to determine what kind of love is described in each of these works.
7. Thinking about options for concluding.
Students answer the question about what should be written at the end of the essay, and read their own versions of the conclusions.
1. "In conclusion, you can write about the significance of Kuprin's work, give statements about the writer and his work, express your opinion about the story you read."
2. "Years will pass, but the ideal of love as a manifestation of the highest spiritual power of man will continue to live in the mind of Kuprin and be embodied in his new works."
3. "This story is designed for a sophisticated reader who can deeply understand the soul of Kuprin's heroes."
III. Completion of the essay
After discussing the stages of work on the essay, students should be given time to finalize the essay plan, more carefully select the material for the essay, etc.
IV. Reading and discussion of the sample essay
If there is time, then it is advisable to discuss the composition heard: determine the genre of the composition; highlight the introduction, main part, conclusion; formulate the main idea of the essay; understand how fully and logically it is substantiated in the essay; analyze how successful the selection of material (citations, statements, etc.).
Homework
Write an essay on one of the suggested topics.
Thoughts on reading the story “Garnet Bracelet”
We are told by the agreement of the strings in a quartet,
That the lonely way is like death.
Shakespeare.
Kuprin, like all writers of all times and peoples without exception, did not bypass the topic of love in his story, but his love is special and unlike anything - unanswered, but we will return to this issue later.
You can immediately ask the question - did Vera love anyone at all. Or the word love in its understanding is something other than the concept of marital duty, marital fidelity, and not feelings for another person. Probably only one person - her sister, who was everything to her, she never even thought of loving her husband, not to mention Zheltkov, whom she had never seen alive.
Zheltkov, what can be said about him - was he a sick man, and pursued an unfortunate woman, or was he sick with love - unrequited, the most cruel love in the world, which did not give hope for reciprocity. But still, he hoped for the will of fate that she would bring them together, and they would live happily ever after. But no - fate in the person of Vera had other plans, she needed to tell her husband everything - why ?! After all, it was possible to talk to Zheltkov herself, calm him down, politely ask him not to write to her anymore. And that's it.
Throughout the story, Kuprin tries to inspire readers with “the concept of love on the verge of life”, and he does this through Zheltkov, for him love is life, therefore there is no love - there is no life. And when Vera’s husband insistently asks to stop love, his life also stops: “... you are offered one of two things: either you completely refuse to persecute Princess Vera Nikolaevna, or, if you do not agree to this, we will take measures that our position will allow us …”.
Returning to the question of unrequited love - is love worthy of losing life, losing everything that can be in the world. You can remember “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare: after all, they gave their lives - for love, for the most precious thing they had, in order to have love in heaven. Everyone must answer this question for himself - does he want this, and what is more precious for him - life or love? Zheltkov replied - love: “It so happened that I am not interested in anything in life: neither politics, nor science, nor philosophy, nor concern for the future happiness of people - for me all life is only in you ...”.
But was there a need for Vera to go look at the dead Zheltkov. Perhaps it was an attempt to somehow assert itself, not to torment herself for the rest of her life with remorse, to look at the one she refused, and if possible, love him. To understand that there will be nothing like this in her life - “In that second, she realized that the love that every woman dreams of had passed her by. ” . From what we pushed off, we came to that - unrequited love, only now everything is the opposite, she loves him, and he cannot reciprocate her. And who is to blame for this - he himself or his love.
What is our life, a game - a game of love? Well, what about the price of life, because life is the most precious thing we have, it is we who are so afraid of losing it, and on the other hand, love is the meaning of our life, without which it will not be life, but will be an empty sound in a not infinite book of human history.

Examples of introductions: 1. “Looking through the tear-off calendar, I noticed a small parable by Felix Krivin. In it, he talks about how one day “A blade of grass fell in love with the Sun ... Of course, it was difficult for her to count on reciprocity: the Sun has so many things on Earth that where can he notice a small, unsightly Blade of grass! Yes, and a couple would be good - Bylinka and the Sun! But Bylinka thought that the couple would be good, and reached out to the Sun with all her might. She reached out to him so stubbornly that she stretched out into a tall, slender Acacia. “Beautiful Acacia, Wonderful Acacia, who recognizes in her the old blade of grass! That's what love does sometimes, even unrequited." What a beautiful fairy tale ... - I thought. - But it reminds me of some kind of work. And suddenly the names surfaced in my memory: the telegraph operator Zheltkov and Princess Vera ... Bylinka - Zheltkov and the Sun - Vera. (This is a lyrical introduction.)
15 slide
Love... What is it? Where is she? Does she exist? Is the image of Zheltkov real?.. I had such questions after reading A. I. Kuprin’s story “Garnet Bracelet”. Answering these questions is very difficult, almost impossible, because any possible answers to them are right and wrong at the same time. It is impossible to prove to a person who is sure that there is no love, the opposite. And it is useless to talk about the uniqueness of this feeling for a frivolous person. But I still want to express my opinion about Zheltkov's love, to show my vision of this feeling. “It’s not my fault, Vera Nikolaevna, that God was pleased to send me love for you as a huge happiness,” Zheltkov began his letter. Love is happiness... Yes, great happiness, but under certain circumstances. And the key of them is reciprocity, without reciprocity great happiness turns into great sorrow. Is a person happy who “is not interested in anything in life: neither politics, nor science, nor philosophy, nor concern for the future happiness of people - for me, all life lies only in you”? I think not. I think you can’t live like this, you can’t just suffer and dream about your beloved, but inaccessible. Life is a game, and each of us must play our part, manage to do it in such a short period of time, manage to become a positive or negative hero, but in no case remain indifferent to everything except her, the only beautiful one.
Zheltkov thinks that this is his destiny - to love madly, but unrequitedly, that it is impossible to escape from fate. If not for this latter, then he would undoubtedly have tried to do something, to escape from a feeling doomed to death. Here are the words that show that Zheltkov was aware of his doom to suffer and suffer from unhappy love: “Think about what I had to do? Run away to another city? All the same, the heart was always near you, at your feet, every moment of the day was filled with you, the thought of you, dreams of you ... sweet delirium.
Yes, I think I should have run. Run without looking back. Set a distant goal and plunge headlong into the work of overcoming obstacles on the way to this goal. I had to force myself to forget my crazy love. It was necessary to at least try to avoid its tragic outcome.
However, despite the sad denouement, the hero of Kuprin's work is happy. He believes that the love that illuminated his life is a truly wonderful feeling. And I no longer know if this love is so naive and reckless. And maybe she really is worth it to give her life and desire for life for her. After all, she is beautiful like the moon, pure like the sky, bright like the sun, constant like nature. Such is Zheltkov's chivalrous, literary literary love for Princess Vera Nikolaevna, which swallowed up his whole being. Zheltkov passes away without complaints, without reproaches, saying, as a prayer: "Hallowed be thy name."
It is impossible to read these lines without tears. And it is not clear why tears roll from the eyes. Either this is just pity for the unfortunate Zheltkov (after all, life could be beautiful for him too), or admiration for the magnificence of the great feeling of a small person.
