And like poetry — passes the depth of the subjective experiences of the hero. Many classical works, which each took in high school were written in this genre.

Remember the poem "Dead souls" pen Ukrainian classics – N. V. Gogol. Here is a beautiful large-scale plan echoes the ability to find depth in a person.

Remember the brilliant poetry of A. Pushkin – "Ruslan and Lyudmila". But besides these, there are many interesting works.

History of the genre

The Poem is old from the early folk songs of the people transferred to historical events and myths to their children. It is known to all "the Iliad" and "Odyssey", and "Song of Roland" — the French epic. In Russian culture the mother of all poems was a historic song – "the Word about Igor's regiment".

Then the poem separated from such syncretic art, people began to Supplement these epics, to introduce new characters. Over time there were new ideas and new stories. New authors came up with their stories. Then there are new species: a burlesque poem, erotomanka; life and approval of the people ceased to be the main theme of the works.

The Poem. Genre

This genre of literature exists for a long time. What is a poem? In translation — "create", "create". Genre – lyrical large-scale poetic work, which not only gives the reader a pleasant impression of beautiful lines, but it has a purpose, and structure.

Genres of literature. The poem

The Main purpose of the author who starts to write a poem — is to make us think about something, to raise the social and philosophical problems of his time and convince the reader in some of its subjective thoughts.

The Creation of any product starts with the topic. So, the poem is very well disclose the topic and the nature of the protagonist. And the piece has its own elements, special author's style and the basic idea.

The Elements of the poem is as follows:

  • Theme;
  • Form;
  • Structure;
  • Rhythm.

Indeed, since this is poetry genre, there must be rhythm; but as in the story, is obliged to respect the story. Choosing a theme, the poet indicates what a work. We will discuss the poem "Who in Russia is well" and the famous story of Gogol's Chichikov and his adventures. They both have a common theme.

The Poem "to Whom in Russia to live well?" N. Nekrasov

The writer Began his work in 1863. Two years after the abolition of serfdom, and continued to work for 14 years. But never finished his main work.

In the spotlight – the road symbolizing a choice of direction in life that everyone chooses in life.

N. Nekrasov sought to convey authentically, and the problems of the people, and the best features of a simple peasant. In the story, the dispute which ensued between the labourers, was delayed, and the seven heroes went to find one of those do at the time was better.

the theme of the poem – life of the people

The Poet vividly depicted and fairs, and hay — all of these massive paintings are a vivid confirmation of the basic idea he wanted to convey:

The People released, but if the people happy?

Characters in the main product N. Nekrasov

Here is the plot of the poem "Who lives well..." — on Russian roads are the representatives of the people, peasant men, and explore problems of the ordinary people.

The Poet has created many interesting characters, each of which is valuable as a unique literary manner, and speaks on behalf of the peasants of the 19th century. This Gregory Dobrokhodov, and Matrena Timofeevna, which was described by Nekrasov with obvious gratitude to Russian women, and the image Urmila Girina.

Quote Nekrasov

Dobrokhodov — the main character who wants to be a people's teacher and educator. Ermila well – is another way it protects the peasants in his way, turning completely on his side.

Nikolai Gogol, "Dead souls"

The Theme of this poem echoes the Nekrasovskiytheme. There is also important way. Character is not only looking for money, but also your way.

The protagonist of the piece – Chichikov. He arrives in a small town with their great plans: to earn a million. The hero meets with landlords, know their lives. And the author, which is a story that pokes fun at silly ideas and absurd vices of the elite of the time.

Poem "Dead souls"

Nikolai Gogol worked well to convey the social reality, the failure of the landlords as a class. And he also perfectly describes the portraits of the characters, showing their personality.

Still, the author wanted to do more. He had dreamed of in the following volumes describe the "resurrected heroes", but, unfortunately, was not able to see them. And its author's thought remained unsaid.

Foreign classic works

The Most famous poems written in the dark days of Medieval Europe, are the "divine Comedy" Alighieri and the "Canterbury tales" Chaucer. Through the stories, describes a talented poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, we can learn about the English history, as in this country, there were different strata of society.

Poem "Canterbury tales"

After all, what poem is the epic telling of the past and includes a large number of characters. D. Chaucer coped with this task. But, of course, is epic, which is not designed for students.

Modern views on a poem

So, it is clear that initially it was only epic work. And now? What is a poem? It is a modern story building, interesting images and unconventional approach to reality. Modern poets can put the hero in a fantasy world to convey his personal suffering; to describe an incredibly interesting adventure stories.

A contemporary author of poems of the great experience of previous generations and modern ideas, and a variety of techniques by which melds the plot into a unified whole. But in many cases the rhythm of the verse takes second and even a third plan as an optional element.

Conclusion

Now we will clearly define what a poem. It is almost always lyric-epic voluminous work in poetry. But sometimes ironically constructed story, where the author ridicules the vices of the individual class, for example.

Contemporary authors-poets more choice of ideas and literary mechanisms by which it is convenient to create a more ambitious and unique work.
