The image and characteristics of Olga Ilyinskaya based on the novel by Oblomov (Goncharov I. A.)

OBLOMOV

(Roman. 1859)

Ilinskaya Olga Sergeevna - one of the main characters of the novel, a bright and strong character. A possible prototype of I. is Elizaveta Tolstaya, Goncharov's only love, although some researchers reject this hypothesis. “Olga in the strict sense was not a beauty, that is, there was neither whiteness in her, nor the bright color of her cheeks and lips, and her eyes did not burn with rays of inner fire; there were no corals on the lips, no pearls in the mouth, no miniature hands, like those of a five-year-old child, with fingers in the form of grapes. But if she were turned into a statue, she would be a statue of grace and harmony.

From the time she was orphaned, I. lives in the house of her aunt Marya Mikhailovna. Goncharov emphasizes the rapid spiritual maturation of the heroine: she “as if she was listening to the course of life by leaps and bounds. And every hour of the slightest, barely noticeable experience, an incident that flies like a bird past the nose of a man, is grasped inexplicably quickly by a girl.

Andrey Ivanovich Stolz introduces I. and Oblomov. How, when and where Stolz and I. met is unknown, but the relationship connecting these characters is distinguished by sincere mutual attraction and trust. “... In a rare girl you will find such simplicity and natural freedom of sight, word, deed ... No affectation, no coquetry, no lies, no tinsel, no intent! On the other hand, almost only Stoltz appreciated her, but she sat through more than one mazurka alone, not hiding boredom ... Some considered her simple, short-sighted, shallow, because neither wise maxims about life, about love, nor quick, unexpected and bold remarks, nor read or overheard judgments about music and literature ... "

Stolz brings Oblomov to I.'s house not by chance: knowing that she has an inquisitive mind and deep feelings, he hopes that with his spiritual inquiries I. will be able to awaken Oblomov - make him read, watch, learn more and more legibly.

Oblomov, in one of the very first meetings, was captured by her amazing voice - I. sings an aria from Bellini's opera "Norma", the famous "Casta diva", and "this destroyed Oblomov: he was exhausted", more and more plunging into a new feeling for himself.

I.'s literary predecessor is Tatyana Larina ("Eugene Onegin"). But as the heroine of a different historical time, I. is more confident in herself, her mind requires constant work. This was also noted by N. A. Dobrolyubov in the article “What is Oblomovism?”: “Olga, in her development, represents the highest ideal that a Russian artist can now evoke from the current Russian life ... There is something more in her than in Stolz, one can see a hint of a new Russian life; one can expect a word from her that will burn and dispel Oblomovism ... "

But this I. is not given in the novel, just as it is not given to dispel the phenomena of a different order, similar to her heroine Goncharov Vera from The Cliff. The character of Olga, fused at the same time from strength and weakness, knowledge about life and the inability to bestow this knowledge on others, will be developed in Russian literature - in the heroines of the dramaturgy of A.P. Chekhov - in particular, in Elena Andreevna and Sonya Voynitskaya from Uncle Vanya.

The main property of I., inherent in many female characters in Russian literature of the last century, is not just love for a particular person, but an indispensable desire to change him, raise him to his ideal, re-educate him, instilling in him new concepts, new tastes. Oblomov turns out to be the most suitable object for this: “She dreamed of how“ she would order him to read the books ”that Stoltz had left, then read the newspapers every day and tell her the news, write letters to the village, complete the estate plan, prepare to go abroad, - in a word, he will not doze off with her; she will show him the goal, make him fall in love again with everything that he has stopped loving, and Stolz will not recognize him when he returns. And all this miracle will be done by her, so timid, silent, whom no one has obeyed until now, who has not yet begun to live! .. She even trembled with proud, joyful trembling; I considered it a lesson appointed from above.

Here you can compare her character with the character of Lisa Kalitina from I. S. Turgenev's novel "The Nest of Nobles", with Elena from his own "On the Eve". Re-education becomes the goal, the goal captivates so much that everything else is pushed aside, and the feeling of love gradually submits to teaching. Teaching, in a sense, enlarges and enriches love. It is precisely from this that the serious change occurs in I. that so struck Stolz when he met her abroad, where she, together with her aunt, arrived after the break with Oblomov.

I. immediately understands that in relations with Oblomov she plays the main role, she "in an instant weighed her power over him, and she liked this role of a guiding star, a ray of light that she would pour over a stagnant lake and be reflected in it." Life seems to wake up in I. along with the life of Oblomov. But in her this process takes place much more intensively than in Ilya Ilyich. I. seems to be testing on him his capabilities as a woman and a teacher at the same time. Her extraordinary mind and soul require more and more "complex" food.

It is no coincidence that at some point Obkomov sees Cordelia in her: all I.'s feelings are permeated by a simple, natural, like a Shakespearean heroine, pride, prompting to realize the treasures of one's soul as a happy and well-deserved given: “What I once called mine, that is no longer I’ll give it back, unless they take it away ... ”she says to Oblomov.

I.'s feeling for Oblomov is whole and harmonious: she simply loves, while Oblomov is constantly trying to find out the depth of this love, and therefore suffers, believing that I. “loves now how she embroiders on the canvas: the pattern comes out quietly, lazily, she is even lazier unfolds it, admires it, then puts it down and forgets it. When Ilya Ilyich tells the heroine that she is smarter than him, I. replies: “No, simpler and bolder,” thereby expressing almost the defining line of their relationship.

I. hardly knows herself that the feeling she experiences is more reminiscent of a complex experiment than first love. She does not tell Oblomov that all matters on her estate have been settled, with only one goal - “... to follow to the end how love will make a revolution in his lazy soul, how oppression will finally fall from him, how he will not resist his loved ones happiness..." But, like any experiment on a living soul, this experiment cannot be crowned with success.

I. needs to see his chosen one on a pedestal, above himself, and this, according to the author's concept, is impossible. Even Stolz, whom I. marries after an unsuccessful affair with Oblomov, only temporarily stands higher than she, and Goncharov emphasizes this. By the end, it becomes clear that I. will outgrow her husband both in terms of the strength of feelings and the depth of reflection on life.

Realizing how far her ideals diverge from the ideals of Oblomov, who dreams of living according to the old way of his native Oblomovka, I. is forced to abandon further experiments. “I loved the future Oblomov! she says to Ilya Ilyich. - You are meek, honest, Ilya; you are gentle ... like a dove; you hide your head under your wing - and you want nothing more; you are ready to coo all your life under the roof ... yes, I’m not like that: this is not enough for me, I need something else, but I don’t know what! This “something” will not leave I.: even after surviving a break with Oblomov and happily marrying Stolz, she will not calm down. There will come a moment when Stolz will also have to explain to his wife, the mother of two children, the mysterious “something” that haunts her restless soul. "The deep abyss of her soul" does not frighten, but disturbs Stolz. In I., whom he knew almost as a girl, for whom he first felt friendship, and then love, he gradually discovers new and unexpected depths. It is difficult for Stolz to get used to them, because his happiness with I. seems to be largely problematic.

It happens that I. is overcome by fear: “She was afraid to fall into something similar to Oblomov's apathy. But no matter how hard she tried to get rid of these moments of periodic numbness, the sleep of the soul, no, no, yes, at first a dream of happiness would sneak up on her, the blue night would surround her and envelop her in drowsiness, then again there would come a thoughtful stop, as if the rest of life, and then embarrassment, fear , languor, some deaf sadness, some vague, foggy questions will be heard in a restless head.

These confusions are quite consistent with the final reflection of the author, which makes one think about the future of the heroine: “Olga did not know ... the logic of obedience to blind fate and did not understand women's passions and hobbies. Having once recognized the dignity and rights to herself in the chosen person, she believed in him and therefore loved, but stopped believing - stopped loving, as happened with Oblomov ... But now she believed in Andrei not blindly, but with consciousness, and in him her ideal of masculine perfection was embodied ... That is why she would not bear a drop in the dignity she recognized; any false note in his character or mind would produce a tremendous dissonance. The destroyed building of happiness would have buried her under the ruins, or, if her strength had still survived, she would have searched ... "

The image of Olga Ilyinskaya in the novel by I.A. Goncharov "Oblomov"

“To disassemble the female images created by I. A. Goncharov means to make a claim to be a great connoisseur of the Viennese heart,” remarked one of the most insightful Russian critics, N. A. Dobrolyubov. Indeed, the image of Olga Ilyinskaya can be called the undoubted success of Goncharov the psychologist. It embodied not only the best features of a Russian woman, but also all the best that the writer saw in a Russian person in general.

“Olga in the strict sense was not a beauty, that is, there was neither whiteness in her, nor the bright color of her cheeks and lips, and her eyes did not burn with rays of inner fire ... But if she were turned into a statue, she would be a statue of grace and harmony ”- exactly like that, in just a few details, I. A. Goncharov gives a portrait of his heroine. And already in it we see those features that have always attracted Russian writers in any woman: the absence of artificiality, the beauty is not frozen, but alive. “In a rare girl,” the author emphasizes, “you will meet such simplicity and natural freedom of sight, word, deed ... No affectation, no coquetry, no lies, no tinsel, no intent.”

Olga is a stranger in her environment. But she is not a victim, because she has both intelligence and determination to defend the right to her life position, to behavior that is not oriented to generally accepted norms. It is no coincidence that Oblomov perceived Olga as the embodiment of the ideal that he dreamed of. As soon as Olga sang “Casta diva”, he immediately “recognized” her. Not only Oblomov "recognized" Olga *, but she also recognized him. Love for Olga becomes not only a test. “Where did she take life lessons?” - Stoltz thinks with admiration of her, who loves Olga just like that, transformed by love.

It is the relationship of the protagonist of the novel with Olga that allows us to better understand the character of Ilya Oblomov. It is Holguin's look at her lover that helps the reader to look at him the way the author wanted.

What does Olga see in Oblomov? Intelligence, simplicity, gullibility, the absence of all those secular conventions that are also alien to her. She feels that there is no cynicism in Ilya, but there is a constant desire for doubt and sympathy. But Olga and Oblomov are not destined to be happy.

Oblomov foresees that his relationship with Olga cannot always be their personal affair; they will certainly turn into a lot of conventions, obligations. It will be necessary to “correspond”, to do business, to become a member of society and the head of the family, and so on. Stolz and Olga reproach Oblomov for inaction, and in response he only makes unrealizable promises or smiles “somehow pitifully, painfully bashful, like a beggar who was reproached for his nakedness.”

Olga constantly thinks not only about her feelings, but also about the influence on Oblomov, about her “mission”: “And she will do all this miracle, so timid, silent, whom no one has obeyed yet, who has not yet begun to live!” And love becomes a duty for Olga, and therefore it can no longer be reckless, spontaneous. Moreover, Olga is not ready to sacrifice everything for love. “You would like to know if I would sacrifice my peace to you, if I would go with you along this path? .. Never, not for anything!” - she resolutely answers Oblomov.

Oblomov and Olga expect the impossible from each other. She is from him - activity, will, energy; in her view, he should become like Stolz, but only retaining the best that is in his soul. He is from her - reckless, selfless love. And both of them are deceived, convincing themselves that this is possible, and therefore the end of their love is inevitable. Olga loves that Oblomov, whom she herself created in her imagination, whom she sincerely wanted to create in life. “I thought that I would revive you, that you could still live for me - and you died a long time ago,” Olga hardly pronounces a harsh sentence and asks a bitter question: “Who cursed you, Ilya? What did you do?<...>What ruined you? There is no name for this evil...” “Yes,” Ilya replies. - Oblomovism! The tragedy of Olga and Oblomov becomes the final verdict on the phenomenon that Goncharov portrayed.

Olga marries Stolz. It was he who managed to ensure that in Olga's soul common sense, reason finally defeated the feeling that tormented her. Her life can be called happy. She believes in her husband, and therefore loves him. But Olga begins to feel an inexplicable longing. The mechanical, active life of Stolz does not provide those opportunities for the movement of the soul that were in her feelings for Oblomov. And even Stolz guesses: "Having learned once, it is impossible to stop loving him." With love for Oblomov, a part of Olga's soul dies, she remains a victim forever.

“Olga, in her development, represents the highest ideal that a Russian artist can now evoke from present-day Russian life,<...>a living face, only such as we have not yet met, ”wrote Dobrolyubov. We can confidently say that Olga Ilyinskaya continues the gallery of beautiful female types that Tatyana Larina opened and who will be admired by more than one generation of readers.

In I. A. Goncharov's novel "Oblomov" only two main female images are shown, which are also opposite to each other. This is the image of Olga Ilyinskaya and the image of Agafya Pshenitsyna. Their appearance is just as opposite as the appearances of Anna Sergeevna and Katerina Sergeevna in I.S. Turgenev's novel "Fathers and Sons".

From this it is clear that the hero does not fulfill the second most important commandment: "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Mat., ch. 22, article 39).

The image and characterization of Olga Ilyinskaya with quotes in the novel Oblomov will help to fully reveal her difficult character and better understand this woman.

Olga's appearance

It is difficult to call a young creature a beauty. The appearance of the girl is far from ideals and generally accepted standards.

"Olga in the strict sense was not a beauty ... But if she were turned into a statue, she would be a statue of grace and harmony."

Being small in stature, she managed to walk like a queen, with her head held high. The girl felt the breed, to become. She wasn't pretending to be better. She didn't flirt, she didn't fawn. It was as natural as possible in the manifestation of emotions and feelings. Everything in her was real, without a drop of falsehood and lies.

“In a rare girl you will meet such simplicity and natural freedom of sight, word, deed ... no lies, no tinsel, no intent!”.

Family

Olga was raised not by her parents, but by an aunt who replaced her father and mother. The girl remembered her mother from a portrait that hung in the living room. About her father, since he took her away from the estate at the age of five, she had no information. Becoming an orphan, the child was left to himself. The baby lacked support, care, warm words. The aunt was not up to her. She was too immersed in secular life, and she did not care about the suffering of her niece.

Education

Despite the eternal employment, the aunt was able to set aside time for the education of the growing niece. Olga was not one of those who are forced to sit down for lessons with a whip. She has always strived to gain new knowledge, constantly developing and moving forward in this direction. Books were an outlet, and music served as a source of inspiration. In addition to playing the piano, she sang beautifully. Her voice, though soft, was strong.

“From this pure, strong girlish voice, my heart beat, my nerves trembled, my eyes sparkled and swam with tears ...”

Character

Oddly enough, she loved solitude. Noisy companies, fun gatherings with friends are not about Olga. She did not seek to acquire new acquaintances, revealing her soul to strangers. Someone considered her too smart, others, on the contrary, narrow-minded.

“Some considered her close-minded, because wise maxims did not break from her tongue ...”

Not distinguished by talkativeness, she preferred to live in her shell. In that invented little world where it was good and calm. External calmness was strikingly different from the internal state of the soul. The girl always clearly knew what she wanted from life and tried to implement her plans.

“If she has any intention, then the matter will boil ..”

First love or acquaintance with Oblomov

First love came at the age of 20. The meeting was planned. Stolz brought Oblomov to Olga's aunt's house. Hearing the angelic voice of Oblomov, he realized that he was gone. The feeling turned out to be mutual. Since then, the meetings have become regular. Young people became interested in each other and began to think about living together.

How love changes a person

Love can change any person. Olga was no exception. She seemed to have wings behind her back from the overwhelming feelings. Everything in her seethed and seethed with the desire to turn the world upside down, changing it, making it better, cleaner. Olga's chosen one was a different field. Understanding the emotions and ambitions of a lover is too difficult a task. It was difficult for him to resist this volcano of passions, sweeping away everything in its path. He wanted to see in her a quiet, calm woman who devoted herself completely to home and family. Olga, on the contrary, wanted to shake up Ilya, change his inner world and his usual way of life.

“She dreamed of how“ she would order him to read the books ”that Stoltz had left, then read the newspapers every day and tell her the news, write letters to the village, finish the plan for arranging the estate, get ready to go abroad - in a word, he would not doze off with her; she will show him the goal, make him fall in love again with everything that he stopped loving.

First disappointment

Time passed, nothing changed. Everything remained in place. Olga knew perfectly well what she was doing, allowing the relationship to go too far. It was not in her nature to retreat. She continued to hope, sincerely believing that she could remake Oblomov, adjusting the ideal man in all respects to her model, but sooner or later any patience comes to an end.

Gap

She is tired of fighting. The girl was gnawed by doubts whether she had made a mistake by deciding to link her life with a weak-willed, weak person incapable of action. Sacrificing yourself all your life for love, why? She had already been treading water for too long, which was unusual for her. It's time to move on, but apparently alone.

"I thought that I would revive you, that you could still live for me - and you died a very long time ago."

This phrase became decisive before Olga put an end to her relationship with her beloved, as it seemed to her, ended so early.

Stolz: life jacket or attempt number two

He was always for her, first of all, a close friend, a mentor. She shared everything that was going on in her soul. Stolz always found time to support, lend a shoulder, making it clear that she was always there, and she could rely on him in any situation. They had common interests. Similar positions. They could well become one, which Andrey counted on. Licking emotional wounds after parting with Oblomov, Olga decided in Paris. In the city of love, where there is a place for hope, faith in the best. It was here that she met with Stolz.

Marriage. Trying to be happy.

Andrei surrounded with attention and care. She enjoyed courtship.

"Continuous, intelligent and passionate worship of a man like Stolz"

Restored injured, offended self-esteem. She was grateful to him. Gradually, the heart began to thaw. The woman felt that she was ready for a new relationship, that she was ripe for the family.

“She experienced happiness and could not determine where the boundaries were, what it was.”

Becoming a wife, for the first time she was able to understand what it means to be loved and to love.

A few years later

For several years the couple lived in a happy marriage. It seemed to Olga that it was in Stolz:

"Not blindly, but with consciousness, and her ideal of male perfection was embodied in him."

But life stuck. The woman is bored. The uniform rhythm of gray everyday life was stifling, not giving way to the accumulated energy. Olga lacked the hectic activities that she led with Ilya. She tried to attribute her state of mind to fatigue, depression, but the situation did not improve, heating up more and more. Andrei intuitively felt changes in mood, not understanding the true cause of his wife's depressed state. Did they make a mistake, and the attempt to become happy failed, but why?

Conclusion

Who is to blame for what happens to us at a particular stage of life. For the most part, we are ourselves. In the modern world, Olga would not be bored and not obsessed with problems. At that time, there were only a few women with a masculine character. They were not understood and not accepted in society. She alone would not have been able to change anything, but she herself was not ready to change, being selfish in her soul. Family life was not for her. She had to accept the situation or let go.

The image of Olga Ilyinskaya stands out noticeably against the general background of the characters in the novel. Due to her honesty, sincerity and nobility, many people associate a girl with an angel who descended from heaven to earth.

Origin of Ilyinskaya and her family

Olga Sergeevna Ilyinskaya was a hereditary noblewoman. Her parents died and she was taken in by her aunt. The author does not tell at what age Ilyinskaya became an orphan. The only thing that is known: it happened after the girl was 5 years old. (When Olga was 5, her father left their estate with her).

Olga's estate was for some time under bail, but at the moment when the main events unfold, all the documents were put in order, and the girl could already live on her estate. The Ilinsky estate was not in good condition, but had a favorable location, which was promising for its restoration and development.

We offer you to get acquainted with the image of Ilya Oblomov, a person distinguished by laziness and apathy towards life, in I. Goncharov's novel “Oblomov”.

Olga's family is not numerous - she was the only child in the family, so she has no brothers or sisters. The only relative of the girl is her aunt, Marya Mikhailovna. The aunt has neither a husband nor her children - Olga replaced her family.

A trusting relationship arose between the aunt and the niece, but Olga is not always ready to discuss everything with her aunt. So, for example, she hides the details of their relationship with Oblomov, but she does this not because she does not trust Marya Mikhailovna, but because she is not ready to discuss this situation with anyone.

Leisure

The role of women in society at that time was limited. For female representatives of noble birth, the road to any service was closed. Women at that time were engaged in housekeeping and raising children.

Like all women, Olga is actively engaged in needlework - she often embroiders, she likes this activity, because she is fascinated by the process of creating unusual patterns.

Olga's leisure is not limited to needlework: in her free time, the girl does not neglect books. She likes to learn something new, but even more Olga likes to listen to stories and retellings of books.

It is because of this that Oblomov begins to actively read books - thanks to the retelling of the plot, he manages to attract the attention of his beloved to his person and hold him for a long time.

Ilyinskaya also loves the theater - she is fascinated by the acting. A girl never misses a chance to see a performance.

Olga, like the bulk of the nobles, knows how to play musical instruments. In addition to this, she has a developed ear for music, the girl sings well, accompanying herself on the piano.

Appearance of Ilyinskaya

Olga Sergeevna is a girl with a pleasant, endearing appearance. People around her consider her a beautiful and sweet girl. Olga has pleasant gray-blue eyes, you can always find something kind and affectionate in them.

Olga's eyebrows are of different shapes. One of them is always curved - just in this place a small fold is noticeable - according to the author, this indicates the girl's persistence. In general, her eyebrows were not generally accepted - a thin arched shape, they did not frame her eyes. Olga's eyebrows were fluffy and more like a straight line. Her face was oval in shape, it was not distinguished by classical beauty - it was not immaculately white, and her cheeks were not ruddy, her teeth were not like pearls, but she could not be considered unattractive.

On our site you can follow the relationship between Olga Ilyinskaya and Ilya Oblomov, described in I. Goncharov's novel "Oblomov".

Olga always tilted her head a little, which gave her a certain nobility. This image was strengthened by the neck - beautiful and thin. Her nose "formed a slightly perceptibly convex, graceful line."

The girl had beautiful curly hair, which she tied into a braid at the back of her head, which further enhanced her noble image.

The girl's lips were thin and always tightly compressed. It was as if her lips weren't laughing, even when her whole face was laughing.

Ilyinskaya's hands were of the usual size, slightly damp and soft.

Olga was beautifully built - she had a good figure. Her gait was light and beautiful. People around her considered her like an angel.

Olga's clothes are not unusual. Her dress is always clean and neat. The girl does not follow fashion trends; when choosing clothes, she is guided by personal preferences, and not by the postulates of fashion. In her wardrobe you can find clothes for any occasion - there are light silk dresses and exquisite, lace, and warm, wadded-lined for the cold season. During hot days, Olga Sergeevna uses a decorative umbrella, and on cold days she dresses in a mantilla with a scarf or a hat and cloak.

Characteristics of personal qualities

Olga has always been a "wonderful creature." She was active and quick-witted during her childhood. Even in childhood, Olga was noticeably distinguished by sincerity and emotionality.

Olga does not know how to lie and deceive - the concepts of falsehood and deceit are alien to him.

Olga is not like most girls of high society - her inability to flirt and flirt has become her hallmark. She never purses her lip, like most cutesy girls in case of indignation, does not put her foot out while playing the piano to attract the attention of the male half of the audience, does not pretend to faint and does not play ghostly pain in order to draw attention to her person.

Olga is a simple girl. There are no memorized philosophical sayings in her speech. She never uses overheard judgments about anything for selfish purposes and does not pass off someone else's opinion as her own. Based on this, many consider her simple and not insightful and narrow-minded.

In general, Olga was a timid girl. She rarely intervened in conversation, not so much because she knew little about the subject under discussion, but because she was by nature a taciturn person.

Olga is a sincere and emotional girl, she rarely remains indifferent to current events, but she tries not to advertise her feelings. Her calm nature allows her to do this.

Olga is a very curious girl, she likes to listen to different stories, both from the real life of people and literary stories. From time to time, the girl likes to fall into thoughtfulness.

In relation to others, Olga Sergeevna is kind and patient. She is a trusting person. Ilyinskaya waits a long time for decisive action on the part of Oblomov, even in cases where it was easy to indicate her neglect of Oblomov. However, she cannot be called spineless - convinced of Oblomov's deception, the girl follows the dictates of her pride - she breaks off relations with Ilya Ilyich, despite the fact that her attachment to him is still strong.

Despite the fact that Olga is a dreamy girl, she is not without a pragmatic and clear mind. Ilyinskaya is a smart girl, she often becomes Oblomov's adviser, the solutions proposed by her surprise Oblomov with their simplicity and at the same time effectiveness.


Olga has perseverance and perseverance, she is used to following her goal in life, and not waiting for her wish to be fulfilled by itself.

Ilyinskaya is a gentle and sensual nature. She is gentle and affectionate with the person she loves.

She is high moral and loyal. Ilinskaya does not recognize betrayal and does not understand such a relationship between beloved people or spouses.

Undoubtedly, Olga has determination - she is always open to change and is not afraid of them. Ilyinskaya is not used to going with the flow of life, she is ready to radically change her life.

The relationship of Olga Ilyinskaya and Ilya Ilyich Oblomov

The acquaintance of Olga and Ilya Ilyich Oblomov took place at the initiative of their mutual friend, Andrei Stolz. Andrei Ivanovich, on one of his regular visits to Oblomov, decides to actively take up the modernization of his friend's life.

One evening he brings him to the Ilinskys' house. The eccentric and ingenuous Ilya Ilyich became the subject of Olga's interest. The girl at the time of the meeting was still very young and inexperienced, so she gives herself entirely to the feeling of sympathy that has arisen, allowing her to develop into love.

Ilya Ilyich also fell in love with a girl. Since he was the same age as Stolz, he shared a rather large age gap with Olga Oblomova - 10 years, but in the case of Oblomov this was hardly noticeable. Ilya Ilyich was an extremely unsuitable person for life, and his ascetic, lazy lifestyle completely deprived him of the opportunity and ability to communicate with people. Ilya Ilyich has not yet had the experience of a romantic relationship, so he is somewhat frightened by the feeling towards Olga that has arisen, he is embarrassed and embarrassed by his feelings and does not know how he needs to behave correctly.


One of the evenings, in prison, Olga performed the aria “Casta Diva”, which was Oblomov's favorite work. The unexpectedly broken confession of Oblomov became the reason for the active development of the relationship of these heroes.

Ilya Ilyich changed noticeably under the influence of the feeling that had arisen - he gradually began to abandon the Oblomovism he was accustomed to, began to monitor his wardrobe, the condition of his home. Oblomov actively reads books and constantly makes publications.

In a word, he leads the usual life of an aristocrat. However, such a change was not truly his desire - he does it for the sake of his love and in the name of Olga. Oblomov completely surrenders to love, he is a very sentimental and romantic person. It is difficult for Ilya Ilyich to understand other manifestations of love that are different from this. He is very demanding of Olga, he wants her love to be identical to his love for the girl, and finding various traits, he questions the girl's love. In this regard, Oblomov writes a letter to the girl, in which he reproaches her for the lack of true feelings towards him and announces her separation.

After reading the letter, Olga is very upset, she does not understand why her feelings were questioned, because she did not give Oblomov a reason to think that his personality was unpleasant to him. Oblomov, who saw the girl's reaction to the message of parting, understands the fallacy of his actions, he is ashamed of his act. Beloved are explained and reconciled - their relationship continues to develop.

Oblomov proposes to Olga, and the girl agrees. The matter remains small - to make public their relationship (which until that time was secret) and announce their engagement, but Oblomov does not dare to take such actions - he has changed, but not so much. Cardinal changes frighten Ilya Ilyich and he is still delaying time. By this time, Oblomov is tired of Olga's activity and determination, he is alien to an active life position, a willingness to change his life and develop as a person. Relations with Olga are more and more often associated with work. Oblomov does not dare to break up with the girl, but he also has no desire to develop relationships longer. He takes a wait-and-see attitude. At first, Olga cares little for such lack of initiative of her lover.

She believes that Oblomov needs some time to take action, but the more time passes, the more the girl realizes the illusory nature of her lover's feelings.

The apogee of the relationship is the denunciation of Oblomov's deception with his invented illness. The upset girl decides to break off relations with Oblomov.

This event has a depressing effect on Olga - despite the secrecy of their relationship, everyone around has already begun to talk about them as future spouses, and this hurts the wounded Olga even more.

The relationship between Olga and Andrey Stolz

Olga Sergeevna and Andrei Ivanovich were old acquaintances. A significant age difference (Stolz was 10 years older than Ilinskaya) did not allow them to create a romantic relationship at the beginning of their communication - in the eyes of Andrei Ivanovich, the girl looked like a child.

For a long time, their communication did not go beyond friendly, although it was impossible to deny the presence of sympathy. The behavior of Andrei Ivanovich pushed Ilyinskaya to the idea that he was indifferent to her as a woman. This state of affairs intensified significantly after Stoltz introduced the young girl to his friend, Ilya Ilyich Oblomov. Andrei Ivanovich knew how to present even the most unattractive features of a person in a favorable light, which happened in the case of Oblomov. Such a fact does not come from selfish goals, but was the fault of the positive and optimistic beginning of Stolz, who knows how to consider positive, attractive character traits in a person. Olga turns her attention to Oblomov and falls in love with him.

The development of romantic relationships was not long in coming - Olga's feelings were mutual. However, Oblomovism and Oblomov's suspiciousness did not allow these relationships to outgrow and create a family - the engagement of Olga and Oblomov was terminated. This incident caused Olga's blues. The girl was disappointed in love and men in general.

Soon Olga and her aunt will go abroad. For some time they lived in France, where they met Andrei Stolz. Andrei Ivanovich, who knew nothing not only about Olga's engagement to Oblomov, but also about the romantic relationship between them, becomes an active guest in the Ilyinsky's house.

After some time, Stoltz notices affection for the girl - he realizes that his life is no longer conceivable without Olga. Andrei Ivanovich decides to explain himself to the girl.

Some time ago, Olga would have been happy to hear this, but a bad relationship experience has changed her position. Olga decides to open up to Stolz and tells him all the details from her relationship with Oblomov. Andrei Ivanovich is unpleasantly struck by the behavior of his friend, but he is unable to change anything. Stolz does not intend to give up his intention and proposes to the girl. Olga does not feel passion or love for Stolz - a feeling of affection and sympathy connects her with Andrei Ivanovich, but the girl agrees to become his wife.

The marriage of Olga and Andrei did not become unsuccessful - Olga was able to find harmony in marriage and become a happy mother.

After her marriage to Andrey Stolz, Olga was transformed, she was able to disengage from the negative impressions that arose after breaking up with Ilya Ilyich Oblomov, but their relationship cannot be called finished on this.

Despite such a sad experience, Olga does not remain indifferent to the fate of Oblomov, and after his death she brings up his son along with her children.

Origin of Ilyinskaya and her family

Olga Sergeevna Ilyinskaya was a hereditary noblewoman. Her parents died and she was taken in by her aunt. The author does not tell at what age Ilyinskaya became an orphan.

A trusting relationship arose between the aunt and the niece, but Olga is not always ready to discuss everything with her aunt.

One evening he brings him to the Ilinskys' house. The eccentric and ingenuous Ilya Ilyich became the subject of Olga's interest. The girl at the time of the meeting was still very young and inexperienced, so she gives herself entirely to the feeling of sympathy that has arisen, allowing her to develop into love.

Ilya Ilyich also fell in love with a girl. Since he was the same age as Stolz, he shared a rather large age gap with Olga Oblomova - 10 years, but in the case of Oblomov this was hardly noticeable. Ilya Ilyich was an extremely unsuitable person for life, and his ascetic, lazy lifestyle completely deprived him of the opportunity and ability to communicate with people. Ilya Ilyich has not yet had the experience of a romantic relationship, so he is somewhat frightened by the feeling towards Olga that has arisen, he is embarrassed and embarrassed by his feelings and does not know how he needs to behave correctly.


One of the evenings, in prison, Olga performed the aria “Casta Diva”, which was Oblomov's favorite work. The unexpectedly broken confession of Oblomov became the reason for the active development of the relationship of these heroes.

Ilya Ilyich changed noticeably under the influence of the feeling that had arisen - he gradually began to abandon the Oblomovism he was accustomed to, began to monitor his wardrobe, the condition of his home. Oblomov actively reads books and constantly makes publications.

In this regard, Oblomov writes a letter to the girl, in which he reproaches her for the lack of true feelings towards him and announces her separation.

After reading the letter, Olga is very upset, she does not understand why her feelings were questioned, because she did not give Oblomov a reason to think that his personality was unpleasant to him. Oblomov, who saw the girl's reaction to the message of parting, understands the fallacy of his actions, he is ashamed of his act.
