Ilyusha tells a story about how he and his friends allegedly saw a brownie at a paper factory.
Kostya tells the story of a suburban carpenter known for his gloominess. His gloomy disposition is explained by an incident that happened to him during a trip to the forest for nuts. The carpenter got lost and fell asleep under a tree towards nightfall. Hearing through a dream that someone was calling him, he got up and saw a mermaid. Having taken a few steps towards her, he came to his senses and crossed himself. Then the mermaid stopped laughing and began to cry. To the carpenter’s question about the reason for the tears, she replied that it would be better if he lived with her until the end of his days in “fun,” but now he crossed himself, and this became impossible. That's why she cries and is killed. However, now he too is destined to be sad until the end of his days. Since then, the carpenter Gavrila has not laughed or even smiled.
Ilyusha tells another story - about a man who drowned in a local pond (the shallow in the middle of the pond supposedly marks the exact place where he drowned). The local clerk sent the huntsman Ermila to the post office; on the way from the post office, he wandered into a tavern, drank and returned at night. Driving past the pond, I saw a white and curly lamb standing on the shallows. Despite the strange reaction of the horse, Yermil decides to take him with him. On the way, Yermil notices that the ram is looking him straight in the eye. He becomes terrified and, to calm down, he begins to stroke the lamb and say “Byasha, byasha.” And the ram bared his teeth in response and also said: “Byasha, byasha.”
The children begin to talk about wolves, about werewolves, then the conversation turns to the dead. They say that in one of the surrounding villages a deceased gentleman appeared and was looking for something on the ground, and when asked, he answered that he was looking for a break in the grass.
Ilyusha says that on Parents' Saturday you can see on the porch those who are destined to die this year. Mentions a certain woman Ulyana, who saw on the porch a boy who died last year, and herself. To the objection that grandma Ulyana is still alive, Ilyusha replies that the year is not over yet.
Next, the conversation turns to the end of the world (solar eclipse), which happened not so long ago. The peasants who witnessed this phenomenon were frightened and decided that “Trishka would come.” When asked who Trishka is, Ilyusha begins to explain that this is the kind of person who will come when the last times come, that he will seduce the Christian people and that nothing can be done with him - neither put him in prison, nor put him in chains , nor kill, since he will be able to avert everyone’s eyes. In the village, many expected that it was during the solar eclipse that Trishka would appear. They even ran out into the street and into the field and began to wait. One of the residents, a cooper, played a joke on them - he put an empty jug on his head and scared everyone.
A heron screams over the river, the children react vividly to this, Pavlusha notices that it is perhaps the soul of Akim the forester complaining about the offenders (the forester was drowned by robbers last year). A dispute arises between the children about the evil spirits that live in the swamp, about frogs, goblin and other evil spirits.
When the need arises to go for water, they remember stories about merman who drag people into water streams, children remember Akulina the fool, who supposedly went crazy precisely after she was dragged to the bottom by a merman and “spoiled” there.
Then they remember the boy Vasya, who also drowned, and whose mother foresaw his death from the water. Returning from the river, Pavel reports that he heard Vasya’s voice on the shore, calling him to him.

“Bezhin Meadow” is a story by I. S. Turgenev, included in the collection “Notes of a Hunter.” During the creation of this I spent a lot of time in the village. His main interlocutors were hunters, who were very different from the rest of the villagers. It was these stories, as well as the amazing nature, that served as inspiration for the creation of the series “Notes of a Hunter”. The story “Bezhin Meadow” is a small work, replete with descriptions of beautiful and serene Russian landscapes.

The story begins with the fact that one warm July day a hunter gets lost in the forest. For a long time he wanders along unknown paths, but still cannot find his way home. Already completely desperate and almost falling into a cliff, the hunter suddenly notices a fire. Out of nowhere, two large dogs run out to meet him, barking, followed by village boys. The hunter learns that the guys came to graze the horses at night, since during the day the animals are haunted by insects and heat.

Having modestly settled under a bush next to the fire, the traveler pretends to be sleeping, although in reality he is watching the boys. The hunter does not want to embarrass them, so he does not show that he sees and hears everything. The guys, having relaxed a little, resume the interrupted communication. The Bezhin meadow rings and shimmers with their voices.

Characteristics of boys. Appearance Features

There are five guys around the fire: Fedya, Pavlusha, Vanya, Kostya and Ilyusha. Bezhin meadow is the name of the place where they drove the horses to graze. Fedya is the oldest in appearance, he is about 14 years old. At first glance, the hunter understands that the boy is from a rich family, and that he came with the guys not out of need, but for fun. This can be seen in his manner of communication, in his neat new clothes and in his delicate facial features.

The second boy is Pavlusha. Behind his outward unattractiveness lies an amazing strength of character. The boy immediately evokes great sympathy from the hunter. Despite the fact that he is only twelve years old, Pavel behaves like the oldest. He calms the boys down when something frightens them; his every word exudes prudence and courage. The story “Bezhin Meadow” is a work in which Turgenev with special love describes ordinary peasant children, each of whom represents the future of the country.

Ilyusha is the same age as Pavlusha. He has an unremarkable face, on which lies the imprint of painful concern for something. It is Ilyusha who tells the most stories; he is distinguished by his ability to convey the essence of what happened well and captivatingly. The work “Bezhin Meadow” consists of such stories. The characteristics of the boys given in the story emphasize the individuality of each narrator.

Kostya is a boy with attentive and sad eyes. His freckled face is adorned with huge black eyes, shining with an incomprehensible brilliance, as if he wants to say something important, but cannot. He is about ten years old.

The last boy, the youngest, Vanya. At first the hunter does not notice him, since the child lies with his head covered in matting. He is a seven year old boy with curly hair. He doesn't tell a single story, but the author admires his childish purity of thinking.

Each of the guys does his own thing and at the same time carries on a conversation. Bezhin meadow echoes them in silence. The boys' stories are of great interest to the hunter, so he tries with all his might to pretend that he is sleeping.

Brownie

Ilyusha begins his story first. He says that he heard the brownie when he and the guys stayed overnight on the roller after work. The spirit made a noise and noise over the guys' heads, coughed and disappeared.

Mermaid

The next incident that Kostya heard about from his father. Once Gavrila, a carpenter, went into the forest and met a beautiful mermaid there. She called for Gavrila for a long time, but he did not give in. And when he felt that he had no strength left to resist, he made the sign of the cross over himself. The mermaid began to cry and said that he, too, would shed tears with her all his life. After this, no one saw the carpenter cheerful again. Turgenev ("Bezhin Meadow") seems to put the boys' stories into one big hunter's story.

Drowned

Ilyusha talks about the dog dog Ermil, who, returning home late, saw a small lamb on the grave of a drowned man. He took it for himself, but it turned out that the soul of the dead man had entered the animal.

Suddenly the dogs jump from their places and rush into the darkness. Pavlusha, without hesitation, runs after them to check what’s wrong. It seems to him that the wolf has gotten too close to them. It turned out that this was not the case. The hunter involuntarily fell in love with the boy, he was so handsome and brave at that moment. Turgenev paints the image of Pavlusha with special love. “Bezhin Meadow” is a story that, although it ends on a minor note, still glorifies the victory of good over evil.

Restless gentleman

Ilyusha continues his story with rumors about the deceased master. Once his grandfather Trofim met him and asked what he was looking for. The deceased replied that he needed a gap-grass. This means that the master lived too little, he wanted to escape from the grave.

Vestibule

Next, Ilyusha talks about how you can meet those who are about to die soon. Grandma Ulyana first saw the boy Ivashka, who drowned soon after, and then herself. Bezhin Meadow evokes strange and sometimes scary images. The boys' stories are real evidence of this.

Antichrist

Pavlusha picks up the conversation with her story about a solar eclipse. There was a legend in their village that at the moment when the sun closed in the sky, Trishka would come. This will be an unusual and crafty person who will begin to tempt all Christian believers with sin.

Leshy and water goblin

Next in line is a story from Ilyusha. He talks about how a goblin led one village man through the forest, and he barely fought him off. This story smoothly flows into the story about the merman. Once upon a time there lived a girl named Akulina, she was very beautiful. After the merman attacked her, she began to walk. Now Akulina walks all black, in torn clothes and laughs for no reason.

The merman also destroys the local boy Vasya. His mother, anticipating trouble from the water, with great excitement lets him go swimming. However, he still cannot save him. The boy is drowning.

The fate of Pavlusha

At this time, Pavel decides to go down to the river to get water. He returns excited. To the guys’ question, he answers that he heard Vasya’s voice, that he was calling him to him. The boys cross themselves and say that this is a bad omen. It was not for nothing that Bezhin Meadow spoke to him. The characteristics of the boys reveal each individual image, veiledly depicting children.

Morning and return home

Waking up early in the morning, the hunter decides that it is time to return home. He quietly gets ready and approaches the sleeping boys. Everyone is asleep, only Pavlusha raises her head and looks at him. The hunter nods his head to the boy and leaves. Bezhin Meadow says goodbye to him. The characteristics of boys require special attention. After finishing reading it is worth re-watching it.

The story ends with the words that Paul subsequently dies. The boy does not drown, as the boys' stories predict, he falls from his horse and is killed.

Fedya didn’t seem to tell stories at all

I. S. Turgenev’s story about the beliefs of peasant children, who are the main characters of the story “Bezhin Meadow,” was first published in N. A. Nekrasov’s magazine “Sovremennik” in 1851.

Lost Hunter

Realizing that he had lost the right path, our hero wandered until the night, which descended to the earth, fragrant, warm and dark. Suddenly, in the distance, he noticed two small lights, and hurried towards their light, towards the people.

These turned out to be peasant boys who were released to graze horses at night. They are the main characters of the story “Bezhin Meadow”.

By the fire

There was gloomy darkness all around. The hunter quietly lay down under a bush. The kids, and there were five of them, decided that he had dozed off and began to carry on an interrupted conversation. Meanwhile, our hero took a closer look at everyone. Fedya, about 14 years old, Pavlusha and Ilyusha, about 12 years old, Kostya, about 10 years old, and the youngest, who looked to be about seven years old, Vanyusha, are the main characters. The Bezhin meadow where they grazed their horses was located near the river and very far from the hunter’s house.

Fedya and Pavlusha

Fedya is the oldest boy, slender and handsome, with blond curly hair and light eyes, obviously growing up in a rich family. His clothes were beautiful and new, and the boots belonged to him, not his father. He went out at night for fun.

His position obliged him to hold on significantly. Pavlusha, with disheveled hair and gray eyes, was squat and awkward. His pockmarked face was intelligent, and his voice sounded significant. He couldn’t boast of clothes, but that wasn’t the main thing about him.

This is what the main characters looked like. The Bezhin meadow they were on became mysterious at night. Pavlusha will play a special role in the story. I. Turgenev characterizes the four other boys (they are also the main characters, “Bezhin Meadow”) not as brightly as Pavlusha.

Ilyusha, Kostya and Vanya

Ilyusha had an insignificant face; he constantly squinted at the fire and pulled a cap over his almost yellow hair. He was neatly dressed in new bast shoes and onuchi and a black scroll. Kostya, sad and thin, seemed to want to tell something, but it seemed that he lacked words. Vanya, lying on the ground and covered up to his curly head with a matting, as it later turns out, was a poetic and kind boy. Here are all the main characters. Bezhin Meadow united different boys that night. Every single one of them loved listening to scary stories, which Ilyusha told more than anyone else. The main characters of Turgenev's "Bezhin Meadow" are children with different characters. Now we will look at each of them in detail.

The main characters (“Bezhin Meadow”), their characteristics

Fedya - his position obliges him to behave taciturnly and it is important not to lose his dignity. He tries to maintain a patronizing air towards all the boys.

Pavlusha is the brightest of all the guys, despite his ugliness. Scary stories that take everyone's breath away pour out of him. Pavlusha can tell an endless number of scary stories. He is the only one who has heard the brownie walking around at night, rearranging objects at night in an old paper mill. He meaningfully explains to those present that the brownie cannot be seen.

On a dark night, his tales become completely believable. Pavlusha himself is not afraid of anything. When it seemed to him that the herd was attacked by wolves, he jumped onto his horse, the dogs flew after him, and only he was seen. When he returned, saying that, fortunately, there were no wolves, everyone was amazed at his courage and determination. No less bravely, he went to the river for water. Everyone was afraid that the merman might drag him away. But Pavlusha returned as if nothing had happened, bringing water. His entire behavior shows the reader an intelligent boy with a strong character. At the end, the author says that Pavlusha died that same year. He fell from his horse and died.

Characteristics of Ilyusha

Ilyusha is the same age as Pavel, he also knows local beliefs well, but tells them in a hoarse, weak voice. Ilyusha's story about the drowned man also captures the boys' imagination, and they listen to it with unflagging attention, because the story turns into the appearance of a werewolf who can speak human language. Ilyusha is happy to tell a story about a risen dead man who searches for the gap-grass at night.

They ask him with surprise about this story and in general when they can see the dead. He even knows how to find out who will die this year. Everyone is amazed. In fact, Ilyusha, unlike all the kids, already works with his brother at the factory. This earns the children's respect, as does his deep knowledge. These are the main characters (“Bezhin Meadow”) by Turgenev.

Kostya and Vanya

Kostya, a weak and thin boy, even looking sickly, in a thin voice told the story with the mermaid, which he had heard from his father. A carpenter from the settlement of Gavrila got lost in the forest, and he met a wondrous wonder: a silver mermaid with green hair was swinging on a branch and calling him to her.

Gavrila really wanted to approach her, but gave up on himself. And the hand was heavy, it could barely rise. The little mermaid became sad and told Gavrila that he too would now always be gloomy, and disappeared. So Gavrila walks around forever sad. But in general Kostya is a coward. He would not have dared, like Pavel, to go to disperse the wolves, and the cries of a heron over the river scared him.

The youngest and most inconspicuous is curly-haired Vanya. He lay there all night without getting up, so that the author did not see him at first.

He speaks with a slight burr, in a very childish voice. He only listens to his older comrades, and does not say anything. When he is offered a gift, he, a kind and caring boy, asks to give it to his sister, because Anyuta is a good girl.

So all the main characters of the story “Bezhin Meadow” are described. The characterization shows us the spiritual beauty of children with their little weaknesses. I. Turgenev is probably the first Russian writer to dwell in such detail on the topic of child psychology.

In the story "Bezhin Meadow" the narration is told by the hunter Ivan Petrovich, who was hunting black grouse and got lost. Already closer to night, he saw glowing lights from the watering can and went in that direction. It turned out that it was the light from a fire that the village children had lit. They gathered from different villages at night. These children, despite their rather young age, are trusted to herd horses. For them, this is not fun, but real income. There were five people in the company of village boys: Fedya, Kostya, Pavlusha, Ilyusha and Vanya.

The hunter asked to camp next to the boys for the night so that he could find the way back in the morning, when it dawned. The guys were very friendly, so they agreed without hesitation. Having invited him to the burning fire, they continued their interrupted conversation. The hunter did not try to become a participant, he pretended to fall asleep, but he himself began to listen to what these children were talking about.

The author was a very attentive listener, noticed everything and highlighted the different abilities of children. The smallest of the boys, Vanya, was very timid. He didn't say anything at all, just looked at his friends and admired the stars in the night sky. He was almost falling asleep, warming himself by the fire under his matting. The rest of the guys were a little older and listened to the story of Fedya, who looked a little older than the rest.

From his conversation and clothes, it was immediately clear that the boy was being brought up in a wealthy peasant family, and going out at night was just fun for him, relaxing and communicating with boys. The author notes his clothes, they are not at all the same as other guys dressed. mostly in torn trousers and shirts, belted with ordinary rope. In the story we see on him a calico shirt with a border, a completely new army jacket, and boots of his own size. But the author especially highlights a comb for combing hair; none of the peasant children had such an item. The boy is very slender, and not very fond of work. He has beautiful, small features and blond hair. The narrator, Fedya, was lying by the fire in a very prosperous manner, leaning on his arm. And during the entire conversation with the guys, he was businesslike, asked a lot of questions, and simply put on airs. It is clear that he feels like the main ringleader among these children, because only with his permission the children could tell their fables and scary stories. Listening carefully to the guys' stories, it was clear that he was not as naive as others and did not really believe everything he heard. Fedya didn’t talk much, he listened more to the others. Turgenev revealed the themes of the inner world of peasant children, he tried to understand their many problems and anxieties. He endowed these boys with their own special character, showing them to be absolutely freer than adults in their thoughts. Of course, they have a very complex and difficult life ahead, as in all peasant families, they will have many worries and adversities. And now, while they are still children, they have a great opportunity to joke around the fire, write fairy tales and scary stories. When, if not now?
