A lot of poems were written about the role of poets in society, and, of course, works were also devoted to this topic in the works of A.S. Pushkin.
Foreword
It is worth mentioning that those verses that appeared before the 19th century were mostly entertaining and glorified some events and heroes before starting the analysis. Pushkin's poem "Echo" is no exception. Such works were read at social events, because it was fashionable and prestigious.
But everything changed when poets in their works began to raise the problems of society, turn to the authorities and challenge them, bring discord and confusion into society.
The first poet who violated secular rules and thought about what role he plays in society and how he can influence him was Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin.
The role of the poet in society
Let's do an analysis. Pushkin's poem "Echo" was written in 1831. The author raised the question of the role of the poet. But he considered the role from a slightly different point of view, taking into account his personal feelings. Pushkin dreamed of fame and recognition, but could not guess that his poems were ahead of time and would be appreciated much later.
Someone considered him still immature and perceived poetry as entertainment, while someone considered his work to be bold and bold, admired and condemned him. He could not find support from anyone, he was constantly confronted with censorship, and decided to write a poem, telling about the place the poet takes in society.
Analysis of the poem "Echo" by Pushkin according to plan
The analysis scheme of any work in addition to the history of creation also includes the definition of a genre (literary direction).
This poem relates to realistic poetry, but at the same time to philosophical lyrics. The author tries to uncover the meaning of the poet and compares it with an echo, using the image of sound. This conclusion allows us to make an analysis.
Pushkin’s poem "Echo" reveals the main idea: if a poet is an echo, then his role in society is tragic, he shows and reflects the world in the way that it can, and not in the way that society and power dictate, and you can not be judged for such actions , as it is impossible to judge a natural phenomenon. The echo is fleeting; few hear it, how little is the poet listening.
In the poem, the author uses a composition of parallelism, where he compares himself with an echo that first sounds loud, and then quieter and quieter.
We made only a cursory analysis. Pushkin’s poem "Echo" is worth exploring and trying to interpret to anyone interested in poetry.
