Enjoying the work of Pushkin, the reader is invariably fascinated by his amazing poetic gift and discovers for himself one of the facets of the talent and personality of this poet. An analysis of Pushkin’s poem to Chaadaev allows one to better understand what friendship was for Alexander Sergeevich.
It should be noted that poems dedicated to friendship occupy a very special niche in the rich work of the poet. This deep and sincere feeling was born in Pushkin’s soul in those wonderful years when the poet studied at the Lyceum and felt the spirit of camaraderie and brotherhood, meeting people who were not only close to him in spirit and worldview, but remained with him throughout their lives: I. Pushchin, V. Kuchelbecker, A. Delvig and others. Thanks to friendship, the poet more than once escaped from longing, grief and loneliness. It was she who fed his trust in people and faith in them, made the world around him cleaner and more beautiful. This is what Pushkin writes about to Chaadaev. An analysis of this poem allows us to understand in every detail the thoughts of the poet himself.
The lines that open Pushkin’s poem to Chaadaev tell of a carefree, easy youth full of love, hope, young amusements and quiet glory. With light sadness, the poet conveys in words the aching sensation that comes during the inevitable growing up. All this hurts - parting with dreams and naive, childish illusions.
An analysis of Pushkin’s poem to Chaadayev shows that this poem is a message to a friend. His addressee was a friend of Pushkin, an officer, a philosopher, a member of the notorious "Union of Welfare." That is why, along with friendly lyrics, the poem is riddled with political and civic motives, the expectation of a "holy free man."
It is immediately noticed that Pushkin looks very widely and perceives life around him, feels a personal need to feel for everything that is happening with his homeland. It is for this reason that he calls on Chaadaev and all those who considered themselves to be free-thinking youth to devote their thoughts and life to their homeland. An analysis of Pushkin’s poem to Chaadaev clearly shows that the poet had sincere and strong hopes that one day autocracy would be overthrown, and Russia would turn into a free country and, perhaps, would not forget its heroes.
This poem can be read as patriotic without any doubt. The theme of homeland, homeland and freedom here clearly merge into a single whole. The poet was convinced that Russia needed educated progressive people, aspiring to freedom, loving their homeland, smart, honest and energetic. That's why he believed that one day a brighter future would come true, that's why the poem has such a major ending.
An analysis of Pushkin’s poem to Chaadayev allows us to feel in a strong way the whole integrity and richness of this work. Everything is so important here that it is even difficult to divide a work into more or less important thoughts, to single out the most important line. This poem was not released immediately after the composition, but it was known by heart to all future Decembrists and all those who sympathized and empathized with them. Pushkin was able to express in light and light lines all the feelings that the progressive youth of that time had overpowered, to become their peculiar mouthpiece and convey to the next generations not only the ideals of patriotism, but also the aspirations of his contemporaries and their own.
