“... was of small stature, a very handsome young man with definite and dry features. Everything in his figure, from a tired, bored look to a quiet, measured step, represented the sharpest contrast with his little lively wife ”?

AT 4. What means of artistic expression contribute to the creation of a figurative picture: “Black clouds of smoke from fires rose and dispersed from both sides. On the street, not in rows, but like ants from a scattered tussock, in different uniforms and in different directions, soldiers passed and ran through?

First question: the purpose of Mtsyra's escape. Mtsyri fled in order to “find out if the earth is beautiful”, “to find out whether we will be born into this world for will or prison” and “to go to our native country”. What did Mtsyri see? The answer is in stanzas 6, half of the 9th, 10th and 11th. Having escaped during a thunderstorm, Mtsyri saw the world, closed from him earlier, by the monastery walls. Therefore, he peers so eagerly into every picture that opens to him, so carefully notes everything that he sees, and then so enthusiastically tells about nature. It is impossible not to recognize the unique Caucasian landscape in the paintings described by the hero. We see the relief of the Caucasus: “lush fields”, hills with tall grasses, mountain ranges and rocks, gorges and abysses, streams and turbulent streams. We learn about the vegetation of Georgia: about the tall grasses of its valleys (stanza 9), about the rich vineyards (stanza 11), about the blackthorns tangled with ivy and dense eternal forests (stanza 15).
Nature, which struck Mtsyri, is not silent: either the sound of a mountain stream is heard, or the rustle of damp leaves agitated by the wind, then the singing of birds is heard in foggy silence, or the cry of a jackal is heard. The emergence of a picture of Caucasian nature in Mtsyri's story is motivated by the fact that the hero fled from the monastery in order to see the world, to find out what it is like. The landscape in the poem is important as a specific picture of this world, as a background against which the action unfolds, but at the same time it helps to reveal the character of the hero, that is, it turns out to be one of the ways to create a romantic image. Mtsyri's personality, his character is reflected in what pictures attract him and how he talks about them. He is struck by the richness and diversity of nature, contrasting with the monotony of the monastic setting. And in the close attention with which the hero looks at the world, his love for life, for everything beautiful in it, sympathy for all living things is felt.
Each manifestation of life pleases the young man, although he does not directly speak about it. When he recalls the animals he met in the mountains, he has special, as if specially chosen words (“the birds sang”, the jackal “cries like a child”, a snake slides, “playing and basking”). Mtsyri perceives nature as it is. He sees in it both serene, almost idyllic pictures, when the world seems to him “God’s garden”, and formidable, severe: “heaps of dark rocks”, separated by a stream and stone embraces stretched in the air, a terrible forest. He enjoys the splendor of a summer morning, sees the transparent blue sky of Georgia, but he also remembers the withering afternoon heat in the mountains, and the black nights when the world becomes dark and silent. This inconsistency does not frighten the young man; it does not block him from the harmony that exists in nature. And the fact that Mtsyri is able to perceive nature in its entirety speaks of the spiritual breadth of the hero.
In Mtsyri's story, nature appears not as something abstract, it is concrete, visible. But at the same time, it is not difficult to see that the very selection of pictures and objects of representation is peculiar. Attention is drawn to what speaks of the beauty of nature, its greatness, grandeur; real pictures are not embellished, but what is seen is drawn only what the hero affirms in the thought of the perfection of the natural world. Therefore, the landscape in Mtsyri, despite its veracity and concreteness, cannot be called realistic. Real pictures appear in a romantic light through the perception of the hero. The romanticism of the landscape is enhanced by the fact that Mtsyri, speaking about what he saw and nature, seeks to convey his impression of it. This gives emotionality to the description of nature. Concrete images lose their real outlines, acquire a slightly abstract emotional pattern. Epithets play a significant role in creating ideas about objects and phenomena of nature. Often it is thanks to them that the real image appears in a new quality. In most cases, epithets are of a pronounced emotional nature: “burning abyss”, “angry shaft”, “magic voices”, etc. Even in those cases when the epithet emphasizes the attribute of the subject, it does not lose its emotional coloring. So, for example, “transparent green sheets” is a realistic image, and at the same time it is emotionally saturated, it evokes the impression of youth, freshness, purity.
The emotionality of images is often enhanced by comparisons. For example, “ridges as bizarre as dreams”; trees rustling “in a crowd, like brothers in a circular dance”, etc. It is characteristic that these comparisons are not born by chance, they reveal both the life experience and the ideas of the hero. “Like brothers in a circular dance” - an image inspired by Mtsyri's vague memories of his childhood in his native village; “fantastic, like dreams” is an image associated with monastic life: in cramped gloomy cells, dreams seem fantastic, bizarre.
Lermontov does not strive for original visual means, he often uses the usual ones that have developed in romantic literature and oral folk poetry. Hence a large number of such ordinary comparisons as “slender as a poplar”, “burning like a diamond”, “cried like a child”, etc. and such epithets as “free youth”, “greedy hugs”, “homeland saint." But they enhance the expressiveness of the hero's monologue, the excitement of the general tone of the poem. Observations on the nature of the visual means in the poem, accumulating students' ideas about the features of the romantic style, help to better understand the hero's attitude to the world that was revealed to him during his wanderings.
Mtsyri saw nature in its diversity, felt its life, experienced the joy of communicating with it. Acquaintance with the world gave Mtsyri the answer to the first question, “is the earth beautiful?”. Yes, the world is beautiful! - this is the meaning of the young man's story about what he saw. His monologue is a hymn to this world. And the fact that the world is beautiful, full of colors and sounds, full of joy, gives Mtsyri an answer to the second question: then man was created, why does he live? Man is born for the will, not for prison - that's the conclusion. In freedom, a person is happy, and Mtsyri calls the three days spent outside the monastery “blessed”, he says that his life without these days
“would be sadder and darker than powerless old age”
The feeling of happiness in Mtsyra is caused not only by what he saw, but also by what he managed to accomplish.

The purpose of the escape Mtsyri

The poem “Mtsyri” tells about the fate of a Georgian youth, who was brought to the monastery as a very young man and grew up there. The monks raised him, taught him their faith and language, but failed to make him forget his native land and replace the boy with a family. Mtsyri wandered alone in the monastery walls, “driven by obscure longing / By the side of his native.” The world of services, prayers and fasts familiar from childhood still seemed to him incomplete, and sometimes even hostile. “... As if someone / Iron hit me in the chest” - this is how the hero speaks of the monastery bell,

invariably dispelling his dreams of lost loved ones and the “wild will of the steppes”. Therefore, it is not surprising that shortly before the tonsure, which will finally make him a prisoner of the monastery, Mtsyri decides to escape. The young man decided to run away a long time ago, perhaps even in those days when he was brought here dying: “A long time ago I thought / Look at the distant fields,” and the purpose of Mtsyra's escape is completely clear. He seeks to get to his homeland, which he was deprived of, and to get acquainted with that huge world that was hidden from his eyes.
Another hope does not leave him: to get to the Caucasian mountains, from where he was taken, to look at his native village, to find a family that Mtsyri saw only in dreams.

On a stormy, terrible night, Mtsyri goes “into that wonderful world of worries and battles, where rocks hide in the clouds, where people are free like eagles.” For the next three days, he wanders among the forests, hiding, “like a snake”, from people, starving and has no lodging for the night. But, nevertheless, Mtsyri appreciates this time more than his entire previous life, because for the first time he learned what freedom is. So, thanks to the escape, one goal of Mtsyri is fulfilled - to become free.

In addition to the search for a free life, the hero pursues other goals, as he himself says, he seeks to “find out whether the earth is beautiful, / Find out, for will or prison / We will be born into this world.” Mtsyri, like any romantic hero, asks philosophical problems, seeks to penetrate the secrets of being. The time he lived outside the monastery helps him understand life, enjoy its fullness. Now Mtsyri is firmly convinced that previously he knew only subconsciously - around the monastery lies a beautiful world in which a person should exist. The dungeon is an absolutely unnatural habitat for proud souls like Mtsyra, moreover, even a short life locked up can destroy a person born for freedom, as happens with the main character of the poem. In a few days in the wild, Mtsyri grows physically and spiritually. Previously weak and pale, he finds the strength to defeat the terrible predator - the leopard, and understands that "he could be in the land of his fathers / not one of the last daring ones." But the most important victory of Mtsyra is a spiritual victory. Despite his apparent failure: the road through the forest leads him back to the hated monastery walls, and the cruel wounds from the leopard's claws do not allow him to continue on his way, Mtsyri does not give up.
Mtsyri's escape from the monastery can be called successful, because he gained inner freedom. He was not afraid to challenge fate, which from childhood doomed him to captivity in a monastery, and lived the last days of his life exactly as he wanted, in freedom, in search and struggle. Thanks to this, Mtsyri's escape, which led to the destruction of the inner prison, became a symbol of freedom both for Lermontov's contemporaries and for subsequent generations.

His spirit is different, his goal is to gain true freedom, but this can only be done outside the monastery that holds him. The protagonist seeks to gain complete freedom, which pushes him to escape, that is, this is precisely the reason for such a risky act. As a child, he was brought to the monastery, where he grew up, but when he realized everything, he decides to run away, as if he were in prison.

The poem consists of twenty-six chapters, which describe the entire escape of the hero, but for only three days he lives a free life, the one he wanted. He begins to understand the world and learn a lot of new things, so he meets a wild animal on his way that attacks him. A beautiful girl by the river, all this time he was tormented by a lack of food and water. Even at confession, he cannot come to terms with life when he is not free. Mtsyri loves nature, is surprised by its diversity and beauty. In nature, he thinks about his homeland, about how he misses her and loves her.

He sets a goal for himself, the goal of escaping is to find his homeland, his family, but, unfortunately, he fails to do this. These few days completely change the world, he feels real freedom. But when he cannot figure out where he is, he realizes that he is lost. In search of a way out, he came only to his former place of residence - to a prison where his real life does not exist.

The character of the protagonist is complex in such a way that he can overcome multiple difficulties: he is very brave, hardy and devoted. But even in spite of this, he does not manage to gain complete freedom. That is why his last wish remains - to bury him on free land, outside the monastery, in order to once again see the wonders of nature at least out of the corner of his eye. Only a few days in the wild strengthen the fighting spirit of the protagonist, because it is faith in freedom that helps him overcome difficulties (a duel with a leopard). But it cannot be said that Mtsyri lost or the escape failed. Yes, he did not gain physical freedom and returned back to the monastery, but he gained spiritual freedom, which is probably even more important than physical freedom. He didn't chicken out and found a chance to escape from the place that held him from an early age. He nevertheless achieved his goal - he lived in freedom, and even if it was not a large amount of time, which greatly influenced him and his thoughts.

But in addition to being free, Mtsyri pursues the goal of learning more about the Earth on which he lives, namely, to know its beauty. He is tormented by various philosophical thoughts. The escape fully confirms his thoughts, he learns that he was right when he thought about it in the monastery.

M.Yu. Lermontov in his work "Mtsyri" showed that freedom makes a person stronger both physically and morally. For the contemporaries of the great writer, the hero of the work, Mtsyri, became a kind of symbol of freedom, which showed that you need to fight for your freedom with all your might.
