Character History
Evgeny Arbenin - a character of the work of Masquerade Mikhail Lermontov. The dual nature of the hero, in which there is a desire for good and the feeling of "hell on earth", absorbed the features of other literary characters. And the collision of the Divine and Devilsky in one person allows and today to find unmarried features in its image.History of character creation
Mikhail Yuryevich entered the story as a height of the psychological novel. But in the field of drama recognition, the classic sought a long time. The works of the poet were considered "surceal", including "Masquerade". Before the play saw the light, it underwent multiple changes.
The character received a surname, which Lermontov has repeatedly used in the works. For example, Vladimir Arbenin is present in the strange person drama. The name, researchers believe, is a reference to Eugene Onegin. In the personality of the hero, the features of Hermann from the "peak lady" and Chapsky from the novel "Mount from the mind".
Great influence on the behavior of a character and foreign poets. Researchers find in it the features of Georges de Zhermani from the Melodrama "Player's Life", as well as several heroes of Bairon.
The first version of the play was written in 1835. Initially, Lermontov saw a piece on stage, so taken the manuscript to the dramatic censorship. But this work was given to refinement because of too "sharp passions."
The editorial office, Mikhail Yuryevich adds the fourth act, and also introduces another acting person - "Unknown". It is he who acts as a certain "finger of fate", because of which the jealous spouse killed his wife. So the author wanted to demonstrate the inevitability of rock and take a little responsible from the main character.
But it does not give censorship to skip Lermontov's brainchild on the scene. Then the poet exposes the tragedy such a capital processing that a new product appears on the world - "Arbenin". Following the requirements of censorship, the author removes from the play everything that maskarem could expose "Masquerade" of secular life. The only thing that tried to leave the unchanged Lermontov - the characteristic of the hero.
But put the play never allowed. Researchers of the Creativity of the Grand Classic believe that the main reason for the failure was the fact that the situation described in the work is based on real events. And the censor "learned it." Among the few editions, the second, consisting of four acts presented greater interest.
The third edition with the new name is considered to be a work that was written for the "skip" on the stage. And considering that Lermontov left the same image of Eugene, he simply did not fit into a new plot.
