Terrible thunder rumbles everywhere. Analysis of Batyushkov’s poem “Terrible thunder thunders everywhere.” “A terrible thunder is thundering everywhere...” Konstantin Batyushkov

The poem “Terrible thunder is thundering everywhere...” was written on August 9, 1812. The entire work is devoted to a description of the war with Napoleon. The first lines contain images of this terrible event. Images of terrible thunder appear. The sea is swelling, the stars are falling, even the sun itself is beginning to fade. All this shows how nature itself is trying to resist war. Batyushkov regrets that he and those people who surround him can only use a pen to help the soldiers. And although they do not see what is happening in this terrible war, he is still in his thoughts next to the fighting soldiers. Although here one can observe a note of contempt for both himself and the society in which he was a member. According to his inner feelings, everything he did was useless. Because somewhere out there, at the front, a lot of people are dying. And he sits here and writes his works.

In the mid-1800s, Konstantin Batyushkov joined an organization called the “Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Sciences and Arts.” Here the poet makes friends with many famous creators. It is thanks to these people and society as a whole that Batyushkov begins to try his hand at literature. For the first time he is trying to publish his lyrical works here. Most of the activities of this organization closer to 1812 became frivolous. Batyushkov felt it. This poem serves as proof that Konstantin Batyushkov began to reproach the free community for not showing any responsibility for the events taking place in the life of the country. They didn't show that it was important to them. In his lyrical work, he actually describes the war as the end of all life on the planet. He notes in the poem that despite what is happening in the world, people are not afraid of it. They still write poetry, create poems.

These people continue their work, writing with a quill pen, even despite what is happening in the world, in their home country. If we take into account the fact that Batyushkov described the War of 1812 with this poem, it turns out that the poet literally accused himself and all the people who made up the free community of insufficient patriotism. With the outbreak of the War of 1812, Konstantin Batyushkov himself only strengthened the patriotic pathos of his lyrical works. He wanted with all his heart to defend his homeland from enemies. However, some life circumstances did not allow him to immediately go to the battlefield, to the location of the army operating at that time. Konstantin Batyushkov was able to get to the war only in July 1813. The poet served there as an adjutant to General Bakhmetyev.

Thus, drawing a conclusion, we can say that with his poem Konstantin Batyushkov tried to show a lack of writing skill. He believed that it was necessary to help his people not only with words, but also with deeds. This he proved by his own example, by going to war to fight the French army, helping Russian soldiers.

Organizations at different times were listed as Ryleev, Baratynsky, Somov, Kuchelbecker, Delvig, Yazykov, Dmitriev.

The early period of the society's activity (1801-07) was marked by freedom-loving sentiments, a negative attitude towards tyranny, serfdom, and the influence of Radishchev's ideas. In 1807, the director was changed - Yazykov took Born's place. From that moment on, the progressive democratic views for which the organization was famous began to gradually fade into the background, replaced by conservatism. In the mid-1800s. Batyushkov also joined the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and Arts, having previously made friends with some

His representatives. Largely thanks to communication with them, Konstantin Nikolaevich began to try his hand at literature and published his first lyrical works.

By 1812, the organization's activities were mostly frivolous. This is primarily the reason for Batyushkov’s attacks on her in the above-mentioned epigram. The poem describes the real end of the world - thunder roars everywhere, the sea is swollen, violent elements are in dispute, stars are falling from the sky. But the apocalypse does not in the least frighten people who are members of the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and the Arts. They are completely calm and continue to write with a quill pen, despite the nightmare going on around them. Perhaps the disaster depicted in the poem is an allegorical picture Patriotic War which started between Russian Empire and Napoleonic France in June 1812. If the assumption is correct, then it turns out that Batyushkov accused the members of the Free Society of lack of patriotism.

At the same time, for Konstantin Nikolaevich himself, the war only strengthened the patriotic feelings in his soul. The poet sincerely wanted to defend his homeland, but circumstances did not allow him to immediately go to the active army. He went to the front only in July 1813 as an adjutant under General Bakhmetev.

“Terrible thunder is thundering everywhere...” Konstantin Batyushkov

Terrible thunder rumbles everywhere,
The sea is swollen with mountains towards the sky,
The elements are furious in dispute,
And the distant sun's debt goes out,
And the stars fall in rows.
They are quiet at the tables,
They are dead. There is a feather
There is paper and - all is well!
They don't see or hear
And everyone writes with a quill pen!
