Comparison of Pushkin and Zhukovsky

What brought together such seemingly different people as Zhukovsky and Pushkin, different in age, social status, and occupation? Probably first and foremost a love for literature and sensitivity to the poetic syllable. Pushkin was reading Zhukovsky, were his devoted fan, and Vasili Andreevich was able to immediately discern the poetic gift of her young and mischievous companion. He predicted him a great future.

Common interests

The Love of literature contributed to the development of common interests and topics of conversation. Along with Pushkin, Zhukovsky and his parents began attending living Karamzin, Batiushkov, and other famous writers. Together with his older friend, he became a member of the circle "Arzamas" where he studied poetry, wrote and recited poetry, competed in the literary mastery. Relationship Zhukovsky and Pushkin has become more warm and trusting. The age difference did not interfere with this friendship, wisdom and life experience one always often helped to cool the ardor of other youthful.

Creative match

The works of Zhukovsky is known to us largely thanks to his fairy tales. Pushkin considered himself a pupil of Vasily Andreyevich, after all, his tales inspired the young Alexander to create their own masterpieces.

Zhukovsky, Pushkin's friend

In 1831, after his exile in Mikhailovskoe, Pushkin introduced his friend "story and the priest and his worker Balde" and several other sketches. Zhukovsky appreciated the work and was invited to join a comic competition. Dispute Zhukovsky and Pushkin referred to the writing of the fairy tales in the folk style. So appeared the famous "the Tale of Tsar Saltan and his son Gvidon..." and "the Tale of the dead Princess..." Pushkin and Zhukovsky tales "Of Tsar Berendey" and "the sleeping Princess". A comparison of Pushkin and Zhukovsky during this period leads to the idea that Vasili Andreevich follows the Western style (the basis of his tales, the works of European authors, and their romantic themes are saved), but Alexander brings to his creations a truly Russian character, and his tale is very reminiscent of the folk.

After a while Pushkin will bring to the court his wise friend's poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila". And will receive a gift - a portrait of V. A. Zhukovsky with the inscription "the winner of the pupil from the vanquished teacher." The Zhukovsky and Pushkin finished his literary match.

It must be noted that in the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" young Pushkin allowed himself a parody of his teachers, and quite a few poignant phrases, very sorry about what in his Mature years.

True friendship

All the years after meeting and until the death of Pushkin, Zhukovsky was for his young friend a kind of Savior (or rescuer?). Temperamental, quick-tempered and straightforward Alexander from time to time fell victim to various troubles, and a wise and diplomatically Vasili Andreevich was able to find for him a way out of any situation.

When, in 1820, for displeasing the king, the lines of the poem and sharp epigrams of Pushkin was preparing to send to Siberia, Zhukovsky, Karamzin, and other influential people have been to such a terrible extent had been replaced by transfer to the South of the country. Due to this, Alexander managed to keep the service and social position.

Zhukovsky was close and difficult 1824, when a major quarrel with his father threatened the poet trial, and this further aggravated his already not the most advantageous position. Thanks to his diplomatic skill, Alexander again saw the favor of the king and returned to high society.

In 1825, due to its influence inthe yard Vasili Andreevich helped to justify Pushkin accused of involvement in the Decembrist uprising.

It was the Zhukovsky one of the few best friends never left Pushkin during his exile in Mikhailovskoye. And in any difficult situations he was able to maintain at least a letter.

Zhukovsky, Pushkin's friend, who stayed close in the years of joy and years of disaster, do not leave in illness and even on his deathbed.

About Pushkin, Zhukovsky

Alexander idolized his wise friend, even with the Lyceum. Although they are not a very serious competition, Pushkin always seen in Zhukovsky teacher and mentor. Textbook steel string one of the poems:

His poems captivating sweetness

It Will take centuries envious dal...

"Heavenly soul" - so warm and affectionately called Alexander his beloved friend, and the letters often addressed him only as "angel".

Zhukovsky on Pushkin

Against Vasily Andreyevich for his young friend never had even a touch of condescension, despite the difference in age and social standing. We can safely say that in this relationship age has not played any role so emotionally close were these two people. Zhukovsky was highly valued as personal qualities of Alexander, and his poetic gift. Still at school he saw him the glory, inspired, guided, prompted - to the point, not yet convinced that the student has surpassed the master.

Death of a poet

It is Very difficult for Alexander Pushkin was 1936-1937 years. The appearance of Georges Dantes, a frivolous behavior of his wife Natalia, intrigue, high society, slander and derogatory epigrams to the address of the Pushkin family, attempts to defend the honor of the wife... the Situation was escalating with each passing day.

Relationship of Zhukovsky and Pushkin

It Was clear that one goal - to provoke the temper of the poet to a duel. It Zhukovskiy long persuasion convinced Alexander not to send an insulting letter to his foe, because then the duel would have been inevitable. It Zhukovskiy begged him to keep the discretion and not to succumb to provocations.

Zhukovsky and Pushkin briefly

It Zhukovskiy few days later brought to the apartment on the Moika mortally wounded poet (temperament and desire to protect the woman still took precedence over the judgment).

Fate played a cruel joke: the day of the birth of V. A. Zhukovsky, January 29, was the day of the death of his faithful and beloved friend.

Dispute Zhukovsky and Pushkin

Vasiliy Andreevich was very upset at the death of his disciple and friend, even then he knew that passed away not only a wonderful person but also a great poet.

After the death of the poet, like an angel, Zhukovsky once again came to the aid of the already deceased other: after receiving the order to review and deliver to the Emperor all of Pushkin's letters, he first disobeyed and secretly carried them to his wife, Natalia Nikolaevna.

Zhukovsky and Pushkin - the embodiment of spiritual friendship, relationship, devoid of greed, built on common interests, love of literature and desire to help each other in difficult situations.
