"Reason and Feeling"

Official comment:

The direction involves thinking about reason and feeling as two of the most important components of a person’s inner world, which influence his aspirations and actions. Reason and feeling can be considered both in harmonious unity and in complex confrontation that constitutes the internal conflict of the individual. The topic of reason and feeling is interesting for writers of different cultures and eras: heroes of literary works often find themselves faced with a choice between the dictates of feeling and the prompting of reason.

Aphorisms and sayings of famous people:

There are feelings that replenish and darken the mind, and there is a mind that cools the movement of the feelings. MM. Prishvin

If the feelings are not true, then our whole mind will turn out to be false. Lucretius

A feeling held captive by crude practical needs has only a limited meaning. Karl Marx

No imagination can come up with such a multitude of contradictory feelings that usually coexist in one human heart. F. La Rochefoucauld

Seeing and feeling is being, thinking is living. W. Shakespeare

The dialectical unity of reason and feeling is the central problem of many works of art in world and Russian literature. Writers, depicting the world of human intentions, passions, actions, judgments, one way or another touch on these two categories. Human nature is structured in such a way that the struggle between reason and feeling inevitably gives rise to an internal conflict of personality, and therefore provides fertile ground for the work of writers - artists of human souls.

MATERIALS for literary arguments.

( Introduction )

What is love? Each person will answer this question differently. For me, love is the desire to always be there, despite quarrels, problems, grievances and misunderstandings, the desire to find a compromise, the ability to forgive and support in a difficult situation. Great happiness if love is mutual. But there are situations in life when an unrequited feeling arises. Unrequited love brings great suffering to a person. But the worst thing is when an unrequited feeling becomes beyond the control of reason and leads to an irreparable tragedy.(69 words)

(Argument)

Love is an eternal theme of world fiction. Many authors describe this great feeling in their works. And I would like to remember Kuprin’s wonderful story “The Garnet Bracelet”. On the first pages of the work, the life of the Shein family is revealed to us. There is no longer love in the married couple, and Vera Nikolaevna is disappointed in her marriage. She feels despondent in her soul. We can only guess that she, like any woman, wants attention, affection, care. Unfortunately, the main character does not understand that all this is very close. A minor official, Georgy Zheltkov, has been in love with Vera Nikolaevna for eight years with an unusually strong and sincere love. He fell in love with her at first sight and was happy because God rewarded him with this feeling. But the main character did not pay attention to the man of humble origin. Vera Nikolaevna is getting married and asks Zheltkov not to write to her anymore. We can only guess what difficulties this brought to our hero and marvel at his fortitude. Georgy did not have the opportunity to be close to Vera, to be loved by her, but he is happy because she simply exists, because Vera lives in this world. Zheltkov gives Vera Nikolaevna a garnet bracelet for her birthday. He does not expect Mrs. Sheina to carry the gift. But George is warmed by the thought that his beloved will simply touch this decoration. For Vera, this bracelet evokes a feeling of anxiety; the shimmer of the stones reminds her of drops of blood. Thus, the author makes it clear to us that a reciprocal feeling for Zheltkov begins to arise in the main character. She worries about him, feels trouble is approaching. Vera raises the topic of love in a conversation with a friend of her parents, whom she considers a grandfather, and she begins to understand that Zheltkov’s love is that very real and rare sincere love. But Vera’s brother, Nikolai Nikolaevich, outraged by George’s gift, intervenes and decides to talk to Zheltkov. The main character of the work understands that he cannot escape his love. Neither leaving nor prison will help him. But he feels that he is interfering with his beloved, Georgy idolizes Vera, he is ready to do everything for her well-being, but he cannot overcome his feelings, and Zheltkov decides to commit suicide. This is how strong unrequited love led to tragedy. And Vera, unfortunately, realized too late that a very rare and sincere love had passed her by. No one and nothing can correct the situation if the person is gone.(362 words)

(Conclusion)

Love is a great feeling, but it is very scary when it leads to tragedy. No matter how strong your feelings are, you cannot lose your mind. Life is the best thing that is given to a person. The same can be said about love. And no matter what trials come our way, we must keep our feelings and mind in harmony.(51 words)

A. I. Kuprin story “Garnet Bracelet” “Reason and Feeling”

(Argument 132)

The hero of Kuprin's story “The Garnet Bracelet,” Georgy Zheltkov, could not cope with his feelings. This man, having seen Vera Nikolaevna once, fell in love with her for the rest of his life. George did not expect reciprocity from the married princess. He understood everything, but he couldn’t help himself. Faith was the small meaning of Zheltkov’s life, and he believed that God rewarded him with such love. The hero showed his feelings only in letters, without showing himself to the princess. On the day of the Angel of Faith, a fan gave his beloved a garnet bracelet and attached a note in which he asked for forgiveness for the trouble he had once caused. When the princess’s husband, together with her brother, found Zheltkov, he admitted the indecency of his behavior and explained that he sincerely loved Vera and this feeling could only be extinguished by death. Finally, the hero asked Vera’s husband for permission to write her a last letter, and after the conversation he said goodbye to life.

A. I. Kuprin story “Garnet Bracelet” Love or madness? "Reason and Feeling"

(Introduction 72) Love is one of the warmest feelings a person can experience. It can fill the heart with joy, inspire and give vitality to a lover. But, unfortunately, this feeling does not always make a person happy. The lack of reciprocity breaks people's hearts, dooms them to suffering, and then a person can lose his mind, turning the object of adoration into some kind of deity that he is ready to worship forever. We often hear that lovers are called crazy. But where is this fine line between conscious feeling and addiction?

(Argument 160) The work of A. I. Kuprin “Garnet Bracelet” makes readers think about this question. The main character pursued his beloved for many years, and then committed suicide. What pushed him to these actions: love or madness? I believe that it was still a conscious feeling. Zheltkov fell in love with Vera. Having seen her only once. Being a minor official, he was aware of the social inequality with his beloved, and therefore did not even try to win her favor. It was enough for him to admire the princess from the outside without intruding into her life. Zheltkov shared his feelings with Vera in letters. The hero wrote to his beloved even after her marriage, although he admitted the indecency of his behavior. The princess's husband treated Grigory Stepanovich with understanding. Shein told his wife that Zheltkov loved her and was not crazy at all. Of course, the hero showed weakness by deciding to commit suicide, but he came to this consciously, concluding that only death could end his love. He knew that without Vera he could not be happy and, at the same time, he did not want to disturb her.

(Argument 184) N In the pages of world fiction, the problem of the influence of feelings and reason is raised very often. So, for example, in the epic novel by Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy “War and Peace” two types of heroes appear: on the one hand, the impetuous Natasha Rostova, the sensitive Pierre Bezukhov, the fearless Nikolai Rostov, on the other, the arrogant and calculating Helen Kuragina and her callous brother Anatol. Many conflicts in the novel occur precisely because of the excess feelings of the characters, the ups and downs of which are very interesting to watch. A striking example of how an outburst of feelings, thoughtlessness, ardor of character, and impatient youth influenced the fate of the heroes is the case of Natasha, because for her, funny and young, it was an incredibly long time to wait for her wedding with Andrei Bolkonsky, could she subdue her unexpectedly flared up feelings? feelings for Anatole the voice of reason? Here a real drama of the mind and feelings in the soul of the heroine unfolds before us; she faces a difficult choice: leave her fiancé and leave with Anatole or not give in to a momentary impulse and wait for Andrei. It was in favor of feelings that this difficult choice was made; only an accident prevented Natasha. We cannot blame the girl, knowing her impatient character and thirst for love. It was Natasha’s impulse that was dictated by her feelings, after which she regretted her action when she analyzed it.

L. N. Tolstoy novel “War and Peace” “Reason and Feeling”

(Argument 93) The main character of the novel - L. N. Tolstoy's epic "War and Peace", young Natasha Rostova, needed love. Being separated from her fiancé, Andrei Bolkonsky, the naive girl, in search of this feeling, trusted the insidious Anatoly Kuragin, who did not even think of connecting his life with Natasha. An attempt to escape with a person of ill repute is a risky act that Natasha Rostova decided to do, relying primarily on feelings. The sad outcome of this adventure is known to everyone: the engagement of Natasha and Andrei is broken, the former lovers suffer, the reputation of the Rostov family is shaken. If Natasha had thought about the possible consequences, she would not have found herself in this position.

L. N. Tolstoy novel “War and Peace” “Reason and Feeling”

(Argument 407) In the epic novel L.N. Tolstoy's "War and Peace" categories of reason and feeling are brought to the fore. They are expressed in two main characters: Andrei Bolkonsky and Natasha Rostova. A girl lives by feelings, a man lives by reason. Andrei is driven by patriotism, he feels responsible for the fate of the Fatherland, for the fate of the Russian army, and considers it necessary to be where it is especially difficult, where the fate of what is dear to him is being decided. Bolkonsky begins his military service from the lower ranks among the adjutants at Kutuzov’s headquarters; Andrei is not looking for an easy career or awards. In Natasha's life everything is based on feelings. The girl has a very easy character, Natasha enjoys life. She illuminates and warms her loved ones like the sun. When we meet Andrey, we see in him a restless person, dissatisfied with his real life. The birth of a child and at the same time the death of his wife, before whom he felt guilty, in my opinion, aggravated, so to speak, Bolkonsky’s spiritual crisis. Natasha became the reason for Bolkonsky's spiritual revival. Love for the cheerful, poetic Natasha gives birth in Andrey’s soul to dreams of family happiness. Natasha became a second, new life for him. She had something that the prince did not have, and she harmoniously complemented him. Next to Natasha, Andrei felt revived and rejuvenated. All her living emotions gave him strength and inspired him to new things and events. After Natasha’s confession, Andrei’s ardor subsides. Now he feels responsible for Natasha. Andrei proposes to Natasha, but at the request of his father, he postpones the wedding for a year. Natasha and Andrey are very different people. She is young, inexperienced, trusting and spontaneous. He already has a whole life behind him, the death of his wife, his son, the trials of difficult wartime, a meeting with death. Therefore, Andrei cannot fully understand what Natasha feels, that waiting is very painful for her, she cannot restrain her feelings, her desire to love and be loved. This led to Natasha cheating on Andrey and they break up. Bolkonsky goes to war and is mortally wounded. Experiencing severe suffering, realizing that he is dying, before the threshold of death he experiences a feeling of universal love and forgiveness. At this tragic moment, another meeting of Prince Andrei and Natasha takes place. War and suffering made Natasha an adult, now she understands how cruelly she treated Bolkonsky, betrayed such a wonderful person because of her childhood passion. Natasha is on her knees asking the prince for forgiveness. And he forgives her, he loves her again. He already loves with an unearthly love, and this love brightens up his last days in this world. Only at this moment Andrei and Natasha were able to understand each other and acquired what they had been missing. But it was already too late.

(Argument 174) Talking about real and sincere feelings, I would like to turn to the play “The Thunderstorm”. In this work, A. N. Ostrovsky was able to convey with all the vividness of emotions the emotional torment of the main character. In the 19th century, a huge number of marriages were not for love; parents tried to marry someone who was richer. The girls were forced to live with an unloved person all their lives. Katerina found herself in a similar situation, who was married to Tikhon Kabanov from a wealthy merchant family. Katya's husband was a pitiful sight. Irresponsible and childish, he was incapable of anything other than drunkenness. Tikhon’s mother, Marfa Kabanova, embodied the ideas of tyranny and hypocrisy inherent in the entire “dark kingdom,” so Katerina was constantly under pressure. The heroine strives for freedom; it was difficult for her in the conditions of slavish worship of false idols. The girl found solace in communicating with Boris. His care, affection and sincerity helped the unfortunate heroine forget about the oppression from Kabanikha. Katerina realized that she was doing wrong and could not live with it, but her feelings turned out to be stronger, and she cheated on her husband. Tormented by remorse, the heroine repented to her husband, after which she threw herself into the river.

A. N. Ostrovsky play “The Thunderstorm” “Reason and Feeling”

(Argument 246) Talking about real and sincere feelings, I would like to turn to the work of A. N. Ostrovsky “The Thunderstorm”. The play takes place in the fictional city of Kalinov on the banks of the Volga. The main characters of the play are Katerina and Kabanikha. In the nineteenth century, girls were not given in marriage for love; everyone wanted to give their daughter to a richer family. Katerina found herself in such a situation. She finds herself in the world of Kabanikha, where outdated patriarchal morality reigns. Katerina strives to free herself from the shackles of coercion and admiration. She is attracted by dreams, spirituality, and sincerity.Katerina’s character is a place of collision between fear of God and sinful, illegal passions. With her mind, the main character understands that she is a “husband’s wife,” but Katerina’s soul requires love. main characterfalls in love with another man, although he tries to resist it.The heroine is given a tantalizing opportunity to commit this sin by meeting her lover, to go beyond what is permitted, but only on the condition that outsiders do not find out about it. Katerina takes the key to the gate at the Kabanov estate, which Varvara gives her, she accepts her sin, she takes up protest, but dooms herself to death from the very beginning.For Katerina, the commandments of the church and the patriarchal world are of the greatest importance. She wants to be pure and flawless. After her fall, Katerina was unable to hide her guilt in front of her husband and people. She realizes the sin she committed and at the same time wants to know the happiness of true love. She does not see forgiveness for herself and the end of the torments of her conscience; she considers her soul ruined. Feelings overcame Katerina’s reason, she cheated on her husband, but the main character could not live with this, so she decided to commit an even more terrible sin from a religious point of view - suicide.

(Argument232) The plot of the play was the life of the inhabitants of the shelter, people who have nothing: no money, no status, no social status, no simple bread. They don't see the meaning of their existence. But even in seemingly unbearable conditionstopics such as the question of truth and lies are raised . Reflecting on thistopic , the author compares the central characters of the play. Satin and the wanderer Luke are heroes - antipodes. When Elder Luke appears at the shelter, he tries to inspire each of the residents. With all the sincerity of his feelings, he tries to inspire the unfortunate, not to let them wither away. According to Luke, they could not be helped by telling the truth that nothing would change in their lives. So he lied to them, thinking that this would bring salvation for them. It will change their attitude to what is happening and instill hope in them. The hero wanted with all his heart to help the unfortunate, to instill hope in them. The hero wanted with all his heart to help the unfortunate, to make their lives at least a little brighter. He didn’t think about the fact that sweet lies can be worse than the bitter truth. Satin was harsh. He relied only on his thoughts and looked at the situation soberly. “Luke’s fairy tales made him angry, because he is a realist and is not used to “fictional happiness.” This hero called people not to blind hope, but to fight for their rights. Gorky posed the question to his readers: which of them is more right? I think that it is impossible to give an exact answer to this question, because it is not for nothing that the author leaves it open. Everyone must decide for themselves.

M. Gorky play “At the Bottom” “Reason and Feeling”

(Introduction 62) What is better - truth or compassion? It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. If the question asked what is better - truth or lie, my answer would be unequivocal. But the concepts of truth and compassion cannot be opposed to each other. You need to look for a fine line between them. There are situations when telling the bitter truth is the only right decision. But sometimes people need a sweet lie, compassion for support, to lift their spirits.

(Argument 266) Fiction convinces me of the correctness of this point of view. Let us turn to M. Gorky’s play “At the Bottom”. The action takes place in the Kostylevs' rooming house, in which completely different people have gathered. Their difficult fate brought them together. And then Elder Luke appears in the lives of people who have lost everything. He tells them what a wonderful life awaits them, how everything will change if they just want it. The inhabitants of this shelter no longer hope to get back into the people. They have come to terms with the fact that their lives are doomed; they will not get out of poverty. But Luka is a kind person by nature, he takes pity on them and instills hope. His consoling speeches affected each person differently. The two most striking examples are Anna and Actor. Anna was seriously ill and was dying. Luka calms her down and says that only good things await her in the afterlife. The elder became the last relative in her life, she asked to sit next to her and talk to her. Luke helped Anna with his compassion, he made her last days of life easier, brought joy and hope into them. And Anna went to the next world with a calm soul. But compassion played a cruel joke with the Actor. Luka told him about a hospital where the body is rid of the effects of alcohol. The actor was very worried about the fact that his body was poisoned and was glad to hear Luke’s stories, which gave him hope for a better life. But when the Actor found out that such a hospital did not exist, he broke down. A man believed in a better future, and then found out that his hopes were doomed. The actor could not cope with such a blow of fate and committed suicide. A man is a friend to man. We must help each other, show sympathy, compassion, but we must not harm each other. A sweet lie can bring more trouble than the bitter truth.

(Argument 86) The hero opposite to Luke is Satin. The elder’s stories irritated him, because he is a realist. He is used to the harsh reality. Satin is very harsh, he thinks. That you should not hope blindly, but fight for your happiness. Did Satin somehow help his cohabitants with the truth? Did the shelter's inhabitants need another reminder that their lives were at rock bottom? I think not. Gorky posed a question to his readers: who is right, Luka or Satin? I think that it is impossible to give an exact answer to this question, because it is not for nothing that the author left it open in his work.

(Pin 70) Each person must choose his own path. But we must help each other. Telling the truth or showing compassion is everyone's choice. You need to act depending on the situation. The main thing is not to cause harm with your intervention. After all, not only our life, but also the life of our environment depends on us. With our words and actions we influence our loved ones and acquaintances, so in every situation we must think about what is better - truth or compassion?

(Argument205) The crowning achievement of the famous Russian writer A. S. Griboedov is the play “Woe from Wit.” It is in this work that the author touches on such important topics. Like the harm of rank and bureaucracy, the inhumanity of serfdom, issues of education and enlightenment, the honesty of serving the fatherland and duty, the identity, the nationality of Russian culture. The writer also exposes the vices of people, which to this day exist in each of us. Using the example of the central characters of the play, Griboedov makes us think: is it always worth acting according to the will of the heart, or is cold calculation still better? The personification of commercialism, sycophancy, and lies is Alexey Stepanovich Molchalin. This character is not at all harmless. With his obsequiousness, he successfully makes his way into high society. His “talents” - “moderation and accuracy” - provide him with a pass to “high society.” Molchalin is a staunch conservative, dependent on the opinions of others and pandering to “all people without exception.” It would seem that this is the right choice, a cold mind and tough calculation are better than the vague feelings of the heart, but the author ridicules Alexei Stepanovich, showing the reader the insignificance of his existence. Mired in the world of hypocrisy and lies, Molchalin lost all his bright and sincere feelings, which led to the complete collapse of his sinister plans. Therefore, we can say with confidence that the great Russian writer wanted to convey to the hearts of readers that the most important thing is to remain yourself, act according to your conscience and listen to your heart.

A. S. Griboyedov play “Woe from Wit” “Reason and Feeling”

(Argument345) Let us turn to A. S. Griboyedov’s play “Woe from Wit.” Young Alexander Andreevich Chatsky, brilliant with intelligence and wit, arrives at the mansion of the Moscow landowner-nobleman Famusov. His heart burns with love for Sofya Famusova, it is for her sake that he returns to Moscow. In the not-too-distant past, Chatsky managed to recognize Sophia as an intelligent, extraordinary, determined girl and fell in love with her for these qualities. When he, matured and wiser, returns to his homeland, we understand that his feelings have not cooled. He is happy to see Sophia, who has gotten better during the separation, and is sincerely happy to meet. When the hero finds out that Sophia’s chosen one is Molchalin, her father’s secretary, he is unable to believe it. The hero sees perfectly well what Molchalin really is like; he does not love Sophia. Molchalin wants to move up the career ladder using a girl. For this reason, he does not disdain either hypocrisy or meanness. Chatsky’s mind refuses to believe in Sophia’s love for Molchalin, because he remembers her as a teenager, when love broke out between them, he thinks that over the years Sophia could not change. Chatsky cannot understand that in the three years while he was gone, Famus society left its ugly mark on the girl. Sophia really went through a good school in her father’s house, she learned to pretend, lie, dodge, but she does this not out of selfish interests, but trying to protect her love. We see that Sophia rejects Chatsky not only out of female pride, but also for the same reasons for which Famusov’s Moscow does not accept him: his independent and mocking mind frightens Sophia, he is from a different circle. Sophia is even ready to take treacherous revenge on an old close friend who loves her madly: she starts a rumor about Chatsky’s madness. The hero breaks not only the threads connecting him with Famus society, he breaks off his relationship with Sophia, offended and humiliated by her choice to the depths of his soul. Sophia blames herself for everything that happened. Her situation seems hopeless, since, having rejected Molchalin, having lost her devoted friend Chatsky and being left with an angry father, she is alone again. Sophia tried to live with her mind, perverted in the concept of Famus society, but she was never able to give up her feelings, this led to the heroine getting confused, Sophia missed her love, but not only the heroine suffered from this, Chatsky’s heart was broken.

N. V. Gogol's story "Taras Bulba"

After graduating from the Kyiv Academy, his two sons, Ostap and Andriy, come to the old Cossack colonel Taras Bulba. Two hefty ones

After a long journey, the Sich meets Taras and his sons with his wild life - a sign of the Zaporozhye will. Cossacks do not like to waste time on military exercises, collecting military experience only in the heat of battle. Ostap and Andriy rush with all the ardor of young men into this riotous sea. But old Taras does not like an idle life - this is not the kind of activity he wants to prepare his sons for. Having met all his comrades, he is still figuring out how to rouse the Cossacks on a campaign, so as not to waste the Cossack prowess on a continuous feast and drunken fun. He persuades the Cossacks to re-elect the Koschevoy, who keeps peace with the enemies of the Cossacks. The new Koshevoy, under the pressure of the most warlike Cossacks, and above all Taras, decides to go to Poland to celebrate all the evil and disgrace of faith and Cossack glory.

Andriy realized that he was betraying his father and followed his feelings. Feelings are stronger than reason

And soon the entire Polish southwest becomes the prey of fear, the rumor running ahead: “Cossacks! The Cossacks have appeared! In one month, the young Cossacks matured in battle, and old Taras loves to see that both of his sons are among the first. The Cossack army is trying to take the city of Dubna, where there is a lot of treasury and wealthy inhabitants, but they encounter desperate resistance from the garrison and residents. The Cossacks besiege the city and wait for famine to begin in it. Having nothing to do, the Cossacks devastate the surrounding area, burning defenseless villages and unharvested grain. The young, especially the sons of Taras, do not like this life. Old Bulba calms them down, promising hot fights soon. One dark night, Andria is awakened from sleep by a strange creature that looks like a ghost. This is a Tatar, a servant of the same Polish woman with whom Andriy is in love. The Tatar woman whispers that the lady is in the city, she saw Andriy from the city rampart and asks him to come to her or at least give a piece of bread for his dying mother. Andriy loads the bags with bread, as much as he can carry, and the Tatar woman leads him along the underground passage to the city. Having met his beloved, he renounces his father and brother, comrades and homeland: “The homeland is what our soul seeks, what is dearer to it than anything else. My homeland is you.” Andriy remains with the lady to protect her until his last breath from his former comrades.

Examples of final essays

There are a number of final essay templates. They are assessed according to five criteria, here is an example of an essay that received the highest score:
An example of an essay on the topic: “Should reason prevail over feelings?”
What to listen to, reason or feelings - this is the question every person asks. It is especially acute when the mind dictates one thing, but feelings contradict it. What is the voice of reason, when one should listen more to its advice, a person decides for himself, and the same with feelings. Without a doubt, the choice of one or the other depends on the specific situation. For example, even a child knows that in a stressful situation one should not give in to panic, it is better to listen to reason. It is important not only to listen to both reason and feelings, but also to truly learn to distinguish between situations when it is necessary to listen to the first or the second to a greater extent.

Since the question has always been relevant, it has found wide circulation in both Russian and foreign literature. Jane Austen, in her novel Sense and Sensibility, reflected this eternal contradiction through the example of two sisters. Elinor, the eldest of the sisters, is distinguished by her prudence, but is not devoid of feelings, she simply knows how to manage them. Mariana is in no way inferior to her older sister, but prudence is not inherent in her in any way. The author showed how their characters were affected in the test of love. In the case of her older sister, her prudence almost played a cruel joke on her; thanks to her reserved nature, she did not immediately let her lover know how she felt. Mariana became a victim of feelings, so she was deceived by a young man who took advantage of her gullibility and married a wealthy lady. As a result, the older sister was ready to come to terms with loneliness, but the man of her heart, Edward Ferras, makes a choice in her favor, refusing not only the inheritance, but also his word: an engagement to an unloved woman. Marianne, after a serious illness and suffering deception, grows up and agrees to be engaged to a 37-year-old captain, for whom she does not have romantic feelings, but deeply respects her.

The heroes in A.P.’s story make a similar choice. Chekhov "About Love". However, Alyohin and Anna Luganovich, succumbing to the call of reason, give up their happiness, which makes their action correct in the eyes of society, but deep down in their souls, both heroes are unhappy.

So what is reason: logic, common sense, or just boring reason? Can feelings interfere with a person’s life or, conversely, provide an invaluable service? There is no clear answer to this debate: who to listen to: reason or feeling. Both are equally important for a person, so you just need to learn how to use them correctly.

Direction "Reason and Feelings"

Example of an essay on the topic: “Should reason prevail over feelings”?

Should reason prevail over feelings? In my opinion, there is no clear answer to this question. In some situations you should listen to the voice of reason, while in other situations, on the contrary, you need to act in accordance with your feelings. Let's look at a few examples.

So, if a person is possessed by negative feelings, he should curb them and listen to the arguments of reason. For example, A. Mass “Difficult Exam” talks about a girl named Anya Gorchakova, who managed to pass a difficult test. The heroine dreamed of becoming an actress; she wanted her parents, when they came to a performance at a children’s camp, to appreciate her performance. She tried very hard, but she was disappointed: her parents never arrived on the appointed day. Overwhelmed by a feeling of despair, she decided not to go on stage. The teacher’s reasonable arguments helped her cope with her feelings. Anya realized that she should not let her comrades down, she needed to learn to control herself and complete her task, no matter what. And so it happened, she played better than anyone. The writer wants to teach us a lesson: no matter how strong negative feelings are, we must be able to cope with them, listen to the mind, which tells us the right decision.

However, the mind does not always give the right advice. Sometimes it happens that actions dictated by rational arguments lead to negative consequences. Let us turn to A. Likhanov’s story “Labyrinth”. The father of the main character Tolik was passionate about his work. He enjoyed designing machine parts. When he talked about this, his eyes sparkled. But at the same time, he earned little, but he could have moved to the workshop and received a higher salary, which his mother-in-law constantly reminded him of. It would seem that this is a more reasonable decision, because the hero has a family, has a son, and he should not depend on the pension of an elderly woman - his mother-in-law. In the end, yielding to family pressure, the hero sacrificed his feelings to reason: he abandoned his favorite activity in favor of earning money. What did this lead to? Tolik’s father felt deeply unhappy: “His eyes are sore and they seem to be calling. They call for help as if the person is scared, as if he is mortally wounded.” If before he was possessed by a bright feeling of joy, now he was possessed by dull melancholy. This was not the life he dreamed of. The writer shows that decisions that are reasonable at first glance are not always correct; sometimes, by listening to the voice of reason, we doom ourselves to moral suffering.

Thus, we can conclude: when deciding whether to act in accordance with reason or feelings, a person must take into account the characteristics of a particular situation.

An example of an essay on the topic: “Should a person live in obedience to his feelings?”

Should a person live according to his feelings? In my opinion, there is no clear answer to this question. In some situations you should listen to the voice of your heart, and in other situations, on the contrary, you should not give in to your feelings, you need to listen to the arguments of your mind. Let's look at a few examples.

Thus, V. Rasputin’s story “French Lessons” talks about the teacher Lydia Mikhailovna, who could not remain indifferent to the plight of her student. The boy was starving and, in order to get money for a glass of milk, he gambled. Lydia Mikhailovna tried to invite him to the table and even sent him a parcel of food, but the hero rejected her help. Then she decided to take extreme measures: she herself began to play with him for money. Of course, the voice of reason could not help but tell her that she was violating the ethical norms of relations between a teacher and a student, that she was overstepping the boundaries of what was permitted, that she would be fired for this. But a feeling of compassion prevailed, and Lidia Mikhailovna violated the generally accepted rules of teacher behavior in order to help the child. The writer wants to convey to us the idea that “good feelings” are more important than reasonable standards.

However, sometimes it happens that a person is possessed by negative feelings: anger, resentment. Captivated by them, he commits bad deeds, although, of course, with his mind he realizes that he is doing evil. The consequences can be tragic. The story “The Trap” by A. Mass describes the action of a girl named Valentina. The heroine dislikes her brother’s wife, Rita. This feeling is so strong that Valentina decides to set a trap for her daughter-in-law: dig a hole and disguise it so that Rita, when she steps, will fall. The girl cannot help but understand that she is committing a bad act, but her feelings take precedence over reason. She carries out her plan, and Rita falls into the prepared trap. Only suddenly it turns out that she was five months pregnant and could lose the baby as a result of a fall. Valentina is horrified by what she has done. She didn't want to kill anyone, especially a child! “How can I continue to live?” - she asks and finds no answer. The author leads us to the idea that we should not succumb to the power of negative feelings, because they provoke cruel actions, which we will later bitterly regret.

Thus, we can come to the conclusion: you can obey your feelings if they are good and bright; negative ones should be curbed by listening to the voice of reason.

An example of an essay on the topic: “The dispute between reason and feelings...”

The dispute between reason and feeling... This confrontation has been eternal. Sometimes the voice of reason is stronger in us, and sometimes we follow the dictates of feeling. In some situations there is no right choice. By listening to feelings, a person will sin against moral standards; listening to reason, he will suffer. There may be no way that will lead to a successful resolution of the situation.

So, in A.S. Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” the author talks about the fate of Tatyana. In her youth, having fallen in love with Onegin, she, unfortunately, does not find reciprocity. Tatyana carries her love through the years, and finally Onegin is at her feet, he is passionately in love with her. It would seem that this is what she dreamed about. But Tatyana is married, she is aware of her duty as a wife, and cannot tarnish her honor and the honor of her husband. Reason takes precedence over her feelings, and she refuses Onegin. The heroine places moral duty and marital fidelity above love, but dooms both herself and her lover to suffering. Could the heroes have found happiness if she had made a different decision? Hardly. A Russian proverb says: “You can’t build your own happiness on misfortune.” The tragedy of the heroine’s fate is that the choice between reason and feeling in her situation is a choice without a choice; any decision will only lead to suffering.

Let us turn to the work of N.V. Gogol “Taras Bulba”. The writer shows what choice one of the heroes, Andriy, faced. On the one hand, he is possessed by a feeling of love for a beautiful Polish woman, on the other hand, he is a Cossack, one of those who besieged the city. The beloved understands that she and Andriy cannot be together: “And I know what your duty and covenant are: your name is father, comrades, homeland, and we are your enemies.” But Andriy’s feelings prevail over all arguments of reason. He chooses love, in the name of it he is ready to betray his homeland and family: “What are my father, comrades and homeland to me!.. The homeland is what our soul is looking for, what is dearer to it than anything else. My fatherland is you!.. And I will sell, give away, and destroy everything that I have for such a fatherland!” The writer shows that a wonderful feeling of love can push a person to do terrible things: we see that Andriy turns weapons against his former comrades, together with the Poles he fights against the Cossacks, among whom are his brother and father. On the other hand, could he leave his beloved to die of hunger in a besieged city, perhaps becoming a victim of the cruelty of the Cossacks if it was captured? We see that in this situation the right choice is hardly possible; any path leads to tragic consequences.

Summarizing what has been said, we can conclude that, reflecting on the dispute between reason and feeling, it is impossible to say unequivocally what should win.

An example of an essay on the topic: “One can be a great person thanks to his feelings - not only his mind.” (Theodore Dreiser)

“One can be a great person thanks to one’s feelings – not just one’s mind,” asserted Theodore Dreiser. Indeed, not only a scientist or a general can be called great. The greatness of a person can be found in bright thoughts and the desire to do good. Feelings such as mercy and compassion can motivate us to noble deeds. By listening to the voice of feelings, a person helps those around him, makes the world a better place and becomes cleaner himself. I will try to confirm my idea with literary examples.

In B. Ekimov’s story “Night of Healing,” the author tells the story of a boy Borka, who comes to visit his grandmother on vacation. The old woman often has wartime nightmares in her dreams, and this makes her scream at night. The mother gives the hero reasonable advice: “She will just start talking in the evening, and you shout: “Be silent!” She stops. We tried". Borka is about to do just that, but the unexpected happens: “the boy’s heart was filled with pity and pain” as soon as he heard his grandmother’s groans. He can no longer follow reasonable advice; he is dominated by a feeling of compassion. Borka calms her grandmother down until she falls asleep peacefully. He is ready to do this every night so that healing can come to her. The author wants to convey to us the idea of ​​the need to listen to the voice of the heart, to act in accordance with good feelings.

A. Aleksin talks about the same thing in the story “Meanwhile, somewhere...” The main character Sergei Emelyanov, having accidentally read a letter addressed to his father, learns about the existence of his ex-wife. A woman asks for help. It would seem that Sergei has nothing to do in her house, and his mind tells him to simply return her letter to her and leave. But sympathy for the grief of this woman, once abandoned by her husband and now by her adopted son, forces him to neglect the arguments of reason. Seryozha decides to constantly visit Nina Georgievna, help her in everything, save her from the worst misfortune - loneliness. And when his father invites him to go to the sea on vacation, the hero refuses. Yes, of course, a trip to the sea promises to be exciting. Yes, you can write to Nina Georgievna and convince her that she should go to the camp with the guys, where she will feel good. Yes, you can promise to come see her during the winter holidays. But a sense of compassion and responsibility takes precedence over these considerations in him. After all, he promised Nina Georgievna to be with her and cannot become her new loss. Sergei is going to return his ticket to the sea. The author shows that sometimes actions dictated by a sense of mercy can help a person.

Thus, we come to the conclusion: a big heart, just like a big mind, can lead a person to true greatness. Good deeds and pure thoughts testify to the greatness of the soul.

An example of an essay on the topic: “Our mind sometimes brings us no less grief than our passions.” (Chamfort)

“Our reason sometimes brings us no less grief than our passions,” argued Chamfort. And indeed, grief from the mind happens. When making a decision that seems reasonable at first glance, a person can make a mistake. This happens when the mind and heart are not in harmony, when all his feelings protest against the chosen path, when, having acted in accordance with the arguments of reason, he feels unhappy.

Let's look at literary examples. A. Aleksin in the story “Meanwhile, somewhere...” talks about a boy named Sergei Emelyanov. The main character accidentally learns about the existence of his father's ex-wife and about her trouble. Once her husband left her, and this was a heavy blow for the woman. But now a much more terrible test awaits her. The adopted son decided to leave her. He found his biological parents and chose them. Shurik doesn’t even want to say goodbye to Nina Georgievna, although she raised him since childhood. When he leaves, he takes all his things. He is guided by seemingly reasonable considerations: he does not want to upset his adoptive mother by saying goodbye, he believes that his things will only remind her of her grief. He realizes that it is difficult for her, but he considers it reasonable to live with her newly acquired parents. Aleksin emphasizes that with his actions, so deliberate and balanced, Shurik deals a cruel blow to the woman who loves him selflessly, causing her unspeakable pain. The writer brings us to the idea that sometimes reasonable actions can become the cause of grief.

A completely different situation is described in A. Likhanov’s story “Labyrinth”. The father of the main character Tolik is passionate about his work. He enjoys designing machine parts. When he talks about this, his eyes sparkle. But at the same time, he earns little, but he can move to the workshop and receive a higher salary, which his mother-in-law constantly reminds him of. It would seem that this is a more reasonable decision, because the hero has a family, has a son, and he should not depend on the pension of an elderly woman - his mother-in-law. In the end, yielding to family pressure, the hero sacrifices his feelings to reason: he gives up his favorite job in favor of earning money. What does this lead to? Tolik’s father feels deeply unhappy: “His eyes are sore and they seem to be calling. They call for help as if the person is scared, as if he is mortally wounded.” If before he was possessed by a bright feeling of joy, now he was possessed by dull melancholy. This is not the life he dreams of. The writer shows that decisions that are reasonable at first glance are not always correct; sometimes, by listening to the voice of reason, we doom ourselves to moral suffering.

Summing up what has been said, I would like to express the hope that a person, following the advice of reason, will not forget about the voice of feelings.

An example of an essay on the topic: “What rules the world – reason or feeling?”

What rules the world – reason or feeling? At first glance, it seems that reason dominates. He invents, plans, controls. However, man is not only a rational being, but also endowed with feelings. He hates and loves, rejoices and suffers. And it is feelings that allow him to feel happy or unhappy. Moreover, it is his feelings that force him to create, invent, and change the world. Without feelings, the mind would not create its outstanding creations.

Let's remember J. London's novel "Martin Eden". The main character studied a lot and became a famous writer. But what prompted him to work on himself day and night, to create tirelessly? The answer is simple: it is a feeling of love. Martin's heart was captured by a girl from high society, Ruth Morse. To win her favor, to win her heart, Martin tirelessly improves himself, overcomes obstacles, endures poverty and hunger on the way to his calling as a writer. It is love that inspires him, helps him find himself and reach the top. Without this feeling, he would have remained a simple semi-literate sailor and would not have written his outstanding works.

Let's look at another example. V. Kaverin’s novel “Two Captains” describes how the main character Sanya devoted himself to searching for the missing expedition of Captain Tatarinov. He managed to prove that it was Ivan Lvovich who had the honor of discovering the Northern Land. What prompted Sanya to pursue her goal for many years? Cold mind? Not at all. He was motivated by a sense of justice, because for many years it was believed that the captain died through his own fault: he “carelessly handled government property.” In fact, the true culprit was Nikolai Antonovich, because of whom most of the equipment turned out to be unusable. He was in love with the wife of Captain Tatarinov and deliberately doomed him to death. Sanya accidentally found out about this and most of all wanted justice to prevail. It was the sense of justice and love of truth that prompted the hero to tirelessly search and ultimately led to a historical discovery.

To sum up all that has been said, we can conclude: the world is ruled by feelings. To paraphrase Turgenev’s famous phrase, we can say that only by them does life hold on and move. Feelings encourage our mind to create new things and make discoveries.

An example of an essay on the topic: “Mind and feelings: harmony or confrontation?” (Chamfort)

Mind and feelings: harmony or confrontation? It seems that there is no clear answer to this question. Of course, it happens that reason and feelings coexist in harmony. Moreover, as long as there is this harmony, we do not ask such questions. It’s like air: while it’s there, we don’t notice it, but if it’s missing... However, there are situations when the mind and feelings come into conflict. Probably every person at least once in his life felt that his “mind and heart were not in harmony.” An internal struggle arises, and it is difficult to imagine what will prevail: the mind or the heart.

So, for example, in A. Aleksin’s story “Meanwhile, somewhere...” we see a confrontation between reason and feelings. The main character Sergei Emelyanov, having accidentally read a letter addressed to his father, learns about the existence of his ex-wife. A woman asks for help. It would seem that Sergei has nothing to do in her house, and his mind tells him to simply return her letter to her and leave. But sympathy for the grief of this woman, once abandoned by her husband and now by her adopted son, forces him to neglect the arguments of reason. Seryozha decides to constantly visit Nina Georgievna, help her in everything, save her from the worst misfortune - loneliness. And when his father invites him to go to the sea on vacation, the hero refuses. Yes, of course, a trip to the sea promises to be exciting. Yes, you can write to Nina Georgievna and convince her that she should go to the camp with the guys, where she will feel good. Yes, you can promise to come see her during the winter holidays. This is all quite reasonable. But a sense of compassion and responsibility takes precedence over these considerations in him. After all, he promised Nina Georgievna to be with her and cannot become her new loss. Sergei is going to return his ticket to the sea. The author shows that the feeling of compassion wins.

Let us turn to the novel by A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”. The author talks about the fate of Tatyana. In her youth, having fallen in love with Onegin, she, unfortunately, does not find reciprocity. Tatyana carries her love through the years, and finally Onegin is at her feet, he is passionately in love with her. It would seem that this is what she dreamed about. But Tatyana is married, she is aware of her duty as a wife, and cannot tarnish her honor and the honor of her husband. Reason takes precedence over her feelings, and she refuses Onegin. The heroine places moral duty and marital fidelity above love.

Summing up what has been said, I would like to add that reason and feelings lie at the basis of our existence. I would like them to balance each other, to allow us to live in harmony with ourselves and with the world around us.

Direction "Honor and Dishonor"

An example of an essay on the topic: “How do you understand the words “honor” and “dishonor”?

Honor and dishonor... Probably many have thought about what these words mean. Honor is self-esteem, moral principles that a person is ready to defend in any situation, even at the cost of his own life. The basis of dishonor is cowardice, weakness of character, which does not allow one to fight for ideals, forcing one to commit vile acts. Both of these concepts are revealed, as a rule, in a situation of moral choice.

Many writers have addressed the topic of honor and dishonor. Thus, V. Bykov’s story “Sotnikov” talks about two partisans who were captured. One of them, Sotnikov, bravely endures torture, but does not tell his enemies anything. Knowing that he will be executed the next morning, he prepares to face death with dignity. The writer focuses our attention on the hero’s thoughts: “Sotnikov easily and simply, as something elementary and completely logical in his situation, now made the last decision: to take everything upon himself. Tomorrow he will tell the investigator that he went on reconnaissance, had a mission, wounded a policeman in a shootout, that he is the commander of the Red Army and an opponent of fascism, let them shoot him. The rest have nothing to do with it.” It is significant that before his death the partisan thinks not about himself, but about saving others. And although his attempt did not lead to success, he fulfilled his duty to the end. The hero faces death courageously, not for a minute does the thought of begging the enemy for mercy or becoming a traitor occur to him. The author wants to convey to us the idea that honor and dignity are above the fear of death.

Sotnikov’s comrade, Rybak, behaves completely differently. The fear of death took over all his feelings. Sitting in the basement, all he can think about is saving his own life. When the police offered him to become one of them, he was not offended or indignant; on the contrary, he “felt keenly and joyfully - he will live! The opportunity to live has appeared - this is the main thing. Everything else will come later.” Of course, he does not want to become a traitor: “He had no intention of giving them partisan secrets, much less joining the police, although he understood that it would obviously not be easy to evade them.” He hopes that “he will turn out and then he will certainly settle accounts with these bastards...”. An inner voice tells the Fisherman that he has embarked on the path of dishonor. And then Rybak tries to find a compromise with his conscience: “He went to this game to win his life - isn’t this enough for the most, even desperate, game? And there it will be visible, as long as they don’t kill him or torture him during interrogations. If only he could break out of this cage, he wouldn’t allow himself anything bad. Is he an enemy to his own? Faced with a choice, he is not ready to sacrifice his life for the sake of honor.

The writer shows the successive stages of Rybak's moral decline. So he agrees to go over to the side of the enemy and at the same time continues to convince himself that “there is no great guilt behind him.” In his opinion, “he had more opportunities and cheated to survive. But he is not a traitor. In any case, I had no intention of becoming a German servant. He kept waiting to seize an opportune moment - maybe now, or maybe a little later, and only they will see him...”

And so Rybak takes part in Sotnikov’s execution. Bykov emphasizes that Rybak is trying to find an excuse even for this terrible act: “What does he have to do with it? Is this him? He just pulled out this stump. And then on the orders of the police.” And only walking in the ranks of policemen, Rybak finally understands: “There was no longer a road to escape from this formation.” V. Bykov emphasizes that the path of dishonor that Rybak chose is a path to nowhere.

Summing up what has been said, I would like to express the hope that, when faced with a difficult choice, we will not forget about the highest values: honor, duty, courage.

An example of an essay on the topic: “In what situations are the concepts of honor and dishonor revealed?”

In what situations are the concepts of honor and dishonor revealed? Reflecting on this question, one cannot help but come to the conclusion: both of these concepts are revealed, as a rule, in a situation of moral choice.

Thus, in wartime, a soldier may face death. He can accept death with dignity, remaining faithful to duty and without tarnishing military honor. At the same time, he can try to save his life by taking the path of betrayal.

Let us turn to V. Bykov’s story “Sotnikov”. We see two partisans captured by the police. One of them, Sotnikov, behaves courageously, withstands cruel torture, but does not tell the enemy anything. He retains his self-esteem and before execution, he accepts death with honor. His comrade, Rybak, is trying to escape at all costs. He despised the honor and duty of the defender of the Fatherland and went over to the side of the enemy, became a policeman and even participated in the execution of Sotnikov, personally knocking out the stand from under his feet. We see that it is in the face of mortal danger that the true qualities of people appear. Honor here is fidelity to duty, and dishonor is synonymous with cowardice and betrayal.

The concepts of honor and dishonor are revealed not only during war. The need to pass a test of moral strength can arise for anyone, even a child. To preserve honor means to try to protect your dignity and pride; to experience dishonor means to endure humiliation and bullying, afraid to fight back.

V. Aksyonov talks about this in his story “Breakfasts in 1943.” The narrator regularly became a victim of stronger classmates, who regularly took away not only his breakfasts, but also any other things they liked: “He took it away from me. He selected everything - everything that was of interest to Him. And not only for me, but for the whole class.” The hero not only felt sorry for what was lost, the constant humiliation and awareness of his own weakness were unbearable. He decided to stand up for himself and resist. And although physically he could not defeat three over-aged hooligans, moral victory was on his side. An attempt to defend not only his breakfast, but also his honor, to overcome his fear became an important milestone in his growing up, the formation of his personality. The writer brings us to the conclusion: we must be able to defend our honor.

Summing up what has been said, I would like to express the hope that in any situation we will remember honor and dignity, will be able to overcome mental weakness, and will not allow ourselves to fall morally.

An example of an essay on the topic: “What does it mean to walk the path of honor?”

What does it mean to walk the path of honor? Let's turn to the explanatory dictionary: “Honor is the moral qualities of a person worthy of respect and pride.” Walking the path of honor means defending your moral principles, no matter what. The right path may involve the risk of losing something important: work, health, life itself. Following the path of honor, we must overcome fear of other people and difficult circumstances, and sometimes sacrifice a lot in order to defend our honor.

Let's turn to the story by M.A. Sholokhov "The Fate of Man". The main character, Andrei Sokolov, was captured. They were going to shoot him for carelessly spoken words. He could beg for mercy, humiliate himself before his enemies. Perhaps a weak-willed person would have done just that. But the hero is ready to defend the soldier’s honor in the face of death. When commandant Müller offers to drink to the victory of German weapons, he refuses and agrees to drink only to his own death as a release from torment. Sokolov behaves confidently and calmly, refusing a snack, despite the fact that he was hungry. He explains his behavior this way: “I wanted to show them, the damned ones, that although I am perishing from hunger, I am not going to choke on their handouts, that I have my own, Russian dignity and pride, and that they did not turn me into a beast, like no matter how hard they tried." Sokolov’s act aroused respect for him even among his enemy. The German commandant recognized the moral victory of the Soviet soldier and spared his life. The author wants to convey to the reader the idea that even in the face of death one must maintain honor and dignity.

Not only soldiers during war must follow the path of honor. Each of us must be ready to defend our dignity in difficult situations. Almost every class has its own tyrant - a student who keeps everyone else in fear. Physically strong and cruel, he takes pleasure in tormenting the weak. What should someone who constantly faces humiliation do? Tolerate dishonor or stand up for your own dignity? The answer to these questions is given by A. Likhanov in the story “Clean Pebbles”. The writer talks about Mikhaska, an elementary school student. He more than once became a victim of Savvatey and his cronies. The bully was on duty every morning at the elementary school and robbed the children, taking away everything he liked. Moreover, he did not miss an opportunity to humiliate his victim: “Sometimes he would grab a textbook or notebook from his bag instead of a bun and throw it into a snowdrift or take it for himself so that, after walking away a few steps, he would throw it under his feet and wipe his felt boots on them.” Savvatey specifically “was on duty at this particular school, because in primary school they study up to the fourth grade and the children are all small.” Mikhaska more than once experienced what humiliation means: once Savvatey took away from him an album with stamps, which belonged to Mikhaska’s father and therefore was especially dear to him, another time a hooligan set fire to his new jacket. True to his principle of humiliating the victim, Savvatey ran his “dirty, sweaty paw” over his face. The author shows that Mikhaska could not stand the bullying and decided to fight back against a strong and ruthless enemy, before whom the whole school, even the adults, were in awe. The hero grabbed a stone and was ready to hit Savvatea, but unexpectedly he retreated. He retreated because he felt Mikhaska’s inner strength, his readiness to defend his human dignity to the end. The writer focuses our attention on the fact that it was the determination to defend his honor that helped Mikhaska win a moral victory.

Walking the path of honor means standing up for others. Thus, Pyotr Grinev in A.S. Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter” fought a duel with Shvabrin, defending the honor of Masha Mironova. Shvabrin, having been rejected, in a conversation with Grinev allowed himself to insult the girl with vile hints. Grinev could not stand this. As a decent man, he went out to fight and was ready to die, but to defend the girl’s honor.

Summing up what has been said, I would like to express the hope that every person will have the courage to choose the path of honor.

Example of an essay on the topic: “Honor is more valuable than life”

In life, situations often arise when we are faced with a choice: to act in accordance with moral rules or to make a deal with our conscience, to sacrifice moral principles. It would seem that everyone would have to choose the right path, the path of honor. But it's often not that simple. Especially if the price of the right decision is life. Are we ready to die in the name of honor and duty?

Let us turn to the novel by A.S. Pushkin “The Captain's Daughter”. The author talks about the capture of the Belogorsk fortress by Pugachev. The officers had to either swear allegiance to Pugachev, recognizing him as sovereign, or end their lives on the gallows. The author shows what choice his heroes made: Pyotr Grinev, just like the commandant of the fortress and Ivan Ignatievich, showed courage, was ready to die, but not to disgrace the honor of his uniform. He found the courage to tell Pugachev to his face that he could not recognize him as sovereign and refused to change his military oath: “No,” I answered firmly. - I am a natural nobleman; I swore allegiance to the Empress: I cannot serve you.” With all sincerity, Grinev told Pugachev that he might begin to fight against him, fulfilling his officer’s duty: “You yourself know, it’s not my will: if they tell me to go against you, I’ll go, there’s nothing to do. You are now the boss yourself; you yourself demand obedience from your own. What will it be like if I refuse to serve when my service is needed? The hero understands that his honesty may cost him his life, but the feeling of longevity and honor prevails in him over fear. The hero's sincerity and courage impressed Pugachev so much that he saved Grinev's life and released him.

Sometimes a person is ready to defend, not even sparing his own life, not only his honor, but also the honor of loved ones and family. You cannot accept an insult without complaint, even if it is inflicted by a person higher on the social ladder. Dignity and honor are above all.

M.Yu. talks about this. Lermontov in “Song about Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, the young guardsman and the daring merchant Kalashnikov.” The guardsman of Tsar Ivan the Terrible took a liking to Alena Dmitrievna, the wife of the merchant Kalashnikov. Knowing that she was a married woman, Kiribeevich still allowed himself to solicit her love. An insulted woman asks her husband for intercession: “Don’t give me, your faithful wife, // to evil blasphemers!” The author emphasizes that the merchant does not doubt for a second what decision he should make. Of course, he understands what the confrontation with the Tsar’s favorite threatens him with, but the honest name of the family is more valuable than even life itself: And such an insult cannot be tolerated by the soul
Yes, the brave heart cannot bear it.
There's going to be a fist fight tomorrow
On the Moscow River under the Tsar himself,
And then I will go out to the guardsman,
I will fight to the death, to the last strength...
And indeed, Kalashnikov comes out to fight against Kiribeevich. For him, this is not a fight for fun, it is a fight for honor and dignity, a battle for life and death:
Don't joke, don't make people laugh
I, son of Basurman, came to you, -
I went out for a terrible battle, for the last battle!
He knows that the truth is on his side, and is ready to die for it:
I will stand for the truth to the last!
Lermontov shows that the merchant defeated Kiribeevich, washing away the insult with blood. However, fate is preparing a new test for him: Ivan the Terrible orders Kalashnikov to be executed for killing his pet. The merchant could have justified himself and told the tsar why he killed the guardsman, but he did not do this. After all, this would mean publicly disgracing the good name of your wife. He is ready to go to the chopping block, defending the honor of his family, to accept death with dignity. The writer wants to convey to us the idea that there is nothing more important for a person than his dignity, and it must be protected no matter what.

Summing up what has been said, we can conclude: honor is above everything, even life itself.

An example of an essay on the topic: “To deprive another of the honor means to lose your own”

What is dishonor? On the one hand, it is a lack of dignity, weakness of character, cowardice, and inability to overcome fear of circumstances or people. On the other hand, an outwardly seemingly strong person also incurs dishonor if he allows himself to defame others, or even simply mock the weaker, humiliate the defenseless.

Thus, in A.S. Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter,” Shvabrin, having received a refusal from Masha Mironova, in retaliation slanderes her and allows himself offensive hints addressed to her. So, in a conversation with Pyotr Grinev, he claims that you need to win Masha’s favor not with verses, he hints at her availability: “... if you want Masha Mironova to come to you at dusk, then instead of tender poems, give her a pair of earrings. My blood began to boil.
- Why do you have such an opinion about her? - I asked, barely containing my indignation.
“And because,” he answered with a hellish grin, “I know her character and customs from experience.”
Shvabrin, without hesitation, is ready to tarnish the girl’s honor just because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The writer leads us to the idea that a person who acts vilely cannot be proud of his unblemished honor.

Another example is A. Likhanov’s story “Clean Pebbles”. A character named Savvatey keeps the entire school in fear. He takes pleasure in humiliating those who are weaker. The bully regularly robs students and mocks them: “Sometimes he would snatch a textbook or notebook from his bag instead of a bun and throw it into a snowdrift or take it for himself so that, after walking away a few steps, he would throw it under his feet and wipe his felt boots on them.” His favorite technique was to run a “dirty, sweaty paw” across the victim’s face. He constantly humiliates even his “sixes”: “Savvatey looked at the guy angrily, took him by the nose and pulled him down hard,” he “stood next to Sashka, leaning on his head.” By encroaching on the honor and dignity of other people, he himself becomes the personification of dishonor.

Summarizing what has been said, we can conclude: a person who humiliates the dignity or discredits the good name of other people deprives himself of honor and condemns himself to contempt from others.

1 I offer 10 arguments for an essay on the topic: “Reason and Feelings” 1. “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” 2. A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” 3. L.N. Tolstoy “War and Peace” 4. I.S. Turgenev “Asya” 5. A.N. Ostrovsky “Dowry” 6. A.I. Kuprin “Olesya” 7. A.P. Chekhov “Lady with a Dog” 8. I.A. Bunin “Dark Alleys” 9. V. Rasputin “Live and Remember” 10. M.A. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita” Works Arguments “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” The main character of “The Tale” is Prince Igor Novgorod-Seversky. He is a brave, courageous warrior, a patriot of his country. Brothers and squad! Better to be killed by swords. What am I full of from the hands of the filthy! His cousin Svyatoslav, who ruled in Kyiv, in 1184 defeated the Cumans, the enemies of Rus', the nomads. Igor was unable to participate in the campaign. He decided to undertake a new campaign in 1185. There was no need for it; the Polovtsians did not attack Rus' after the victory of Svyatoslav. However, the desire for glory and selfishness led to Igor opposing the Polovtsians. Nature seemed to warn the hero about the failures that would haunt the prince; a solar eclipse occurred. But Igor was adamant. And he said, full of military thoughts, neglecting the banner of heaven: “I want to break the spear In the unfamiliar Polovtsian field Reason receded into the background. Feelings, moreover of an egoistic nature, took possession of the prince. After the defeat and escape from captivity, Igor realized the mistake and realized it. That is why the author sings glory to the prince at the end of the work. This is an example of the fact that a person endowed with power must always weigh everything; it is reason, and not feelings, even if they are positive, that should determine the behavior of a person on whom the lives of many people depend.

2 A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” The heroine Tatyana Larina has strong, deep feelings for Eugene Onegin. She fell in love with him as soon as she saw him on her estate. My whole life was a guarantee of a faithful date with you; I know you were sent to me by God, You are my keeper until the grave About Onegin: He no longer fell in love with beauties, But he was dragged around somehow; They were instantly consoled when they refused; Change was glad to relax. However, Eugene realized how beautiful Tatyana was, that she was worthy of love, and he fell in love with her much later. A lot has happened over the years, and most importantly, Tatyana was already married. And happiness was so possible, So close!.. But my fate has already been decided. (Tatiana’s words to Onegin) The meeting after a long separation at the ball showed how strong Tatyana’s feelings are. However, this is a highly moral woman. She respects her husband and understands that she must be faithful to him. I love you (why lie?), But I am given to someone else; I will be faithful to him forever... In the struggle of feelings and reason, defeat reason. The heroine did not tarnish her honor, did not inflict mental wounds on her husband, although she deeply loved Onegin. She renounced love, realizing that, having tied the knot of marriage with a man, she simply had to be faithful to him. L.N. Tolstoy “War and Peace” How beautiful is the image of Natasha Rostova in the novel! How the heroine is spontaneous, open, how she longs for true love. (“Catch moments of happiness, force yourself to love, fall in love yourself! Only this one thing is real in the world, the rest is all nonsense” - the author’s words) She sincerely fell in love with Andrei Bolkonsky, is waiting for the year to pass, after which their wedding should take place. However, fate has prepared a serious test for Natasha - a meeting with the handsome Anatoly Kuragin. He just

3 charmed her, feelings washed over the heroine, and she forgot about everything. She is ready to run into the unknown, just to be close to Anatole. How Natasha blamed Sonya for telling her family about the upcoming escape! The feelings turned out to be stronger than Natasha. The mind just went silent. Yes, the heroine will repent later, we feel sorry for her, we understand her desire to love. (I am tormented only by the evil that I did to him. Just tell him that I ask him to forgive, forgive, forgive me for everything) However, how cruelly Natasha herself punished himself: Andrei freed her from all obligations. (And of all the people, I loved and hated no one more than her.) Reading these pages of the novel, you think about a lot. It's easy to say what's good and what's bad. Sometimes feelings are so strong that a person simply does not notice how he is falling into the abyss, succumbing to them. But it is still very important to learn to subordinate feelings to reason, but not to subordinate, but simply to coordinate, to live so that they are in harmony. Then many mistakes in life can be avoided. I.S. Turgenev “Asya” 25-year-old N.N. he travels carelessly, albeit without a goal or plan, meets new people, and almost never visits sights. This is how I. Turgenev’s story “Asya” begins. The hero will have to endure a difficult test of love. He had this feeling for his girlfriend Asya. She combined cheerfulness and eccentricity, openness and isolation. But the main thing is that she is different from the others. Perhaps this is connected with her former life: she lost her parents early, the 13-year-old girl was left in the arms of her older brother, Gagin. Asya realized that she truly fell in love with N.N., that’s why she behaved unusual: sometimes withdrawing, trying to retire, sometimes wanting to attract attention. It’s as if reason and feeling are fighting in her, the impossibility of drowning out her love for N.N. Unfortunately, the hero turned out to be not as decisive as Asya, who confessed her love to him in a note. N.N. also had strong feelings for Asya: “I felt some kind of sweetness, namely sweetness in my heart: as if honey had been poured into me.” But he thought for too long about the future with the heroine, postponing the decision until tomorrow. And there is no tomorrow for love. Asya and Gagin left, but the hero was never able to find a woman in his life with whom he would throw in his lot. Too much

4 the memories of Asa were strong, and only the note reminded her. So reason became the reason for the separation, and feelings turned out to be incapable of leading the hero to decisive actions. “Happiness has no tomorrow, it doesn’t have yesterday, it doesn’t remember the past, it doesn’t think about the future. He only has the present. And that’s not a day. Just a moment." A.N. Ostrovsky “Dowry” The heroine of the play is Larisa Ogudalova. She is dowryless, that is, upon marriage, her mother is not able to prepare a dowry, which was customary for the bride to have. Larisa’s family is of average income, so she doesn’t have to hope for a good match. So she agreed to marry Karandyshev, the only one who proposed marriage to her. She does not feel any love for her future husband. But a young girl really wants to love! And in her heart this feeling of love for Paratov had already arisen, who once charmed her, and then simply left. Larisa will have to experience a strong internal struggle between feeling and reason, duty to the person she is marrying. Paratov seems to have bewitched her, she is delighted with him, succumbs to the feeling of love, the desire to be with her beloved. She is naive, believes his words, thinks that Paratov loves her just as much. But what a bitter disappointment she had to experience. In Paratov’s hands, she is simply a “thing.” Reason still wins, insight comes. True, later. “It’s a thing, it’s a thing! They are right, I am a thing, not a person. Finally, a word has been found for me, you have found it. Every thing must have an owner, I will go to the owner. And I don’t want to live anymore, to live in a world of lies and deception, to live without being truly loved (what a shame that they choose her - heads or tails). Death is a relief for the heroine. How tragic her words sound: “I was looking for love and didn’t find it. They looked at me and look at me as if I was funny.” A.I. Kuprin “Olesya” “Love knows no boundaries.” How often do we hear these words, and repeat them ourselves. However, in life, unfortunately, not everyone is able to overcome these boundaries. How beautiful is the love of the village girl Olesya, living in the lap of nature, far from civilization, and the intellectual, city dweller Ivan Timofeevich! The strong, sincere feeling of the heroes is exposed

5th test: the hero must decide to marry a village girl, and even a sorceress, as she is called around, to connect his life with a person who lives according to other laws, as if in another world. And the hero could not make a choice in time. His mind had been weighing on him for too long. Even Olesya noticed the insincerity in the character of the hero: “Your kindness is not good, not heartfelt. You are not master of your word. You love to have the upper hand over people, but although you don’t want to, you obey them.” And in the end, loneliness, because the beloved is forced to leave these places, to flee with Manuilikha from the superstitious peasants. Her beloved did not become her support and salvation. The eternal struggle between reason and feelings in man. How often does it lead to tragedy. Preserving love without losing your head, understanding responsibility for your loved one, this is not given to everyone. Ivan Timofeevich could not withstand the test of love. A.P. Chekhov “The Lady with the Dog” A holiday romance can be called the plot of A. Chekhov’s story “The Lady with the Dog”. Behind the external simplicity of the plot lies deep content. The author shows the tragedy of people who sincerely fell in love with each other. However, family ties connected both his Dmitry Dmitrievich Gurov and her Anna Sergeevna. The opinion of society, the condemnation of others, the fear of making their feelings public - all this made the life of loving people simply unbearable. Living in hiding, meeting in secret was simply unbearable. But the main thing they had was love. Both heroes are unhappy and happy at the same time. Love inspired them, tired without love. They surrendered to affection and tenderness, forgetting about their marital status. The hero was transformed, began to look at the world differently, ceased to be its usual burner. (As, in essence, if you think about it, everything is beautiful in this world, everything except what we ourselves think and think when we forget about the highest goals of existence, about your human dignity). She doesn’t feel like a fallen woman and she loves Anna Sergeevna, and that’s the main thing. How long will their secret meetings continue? Each reader can only guess where their love will lead. But the main thing that you understand when you read this work is that love is capable of anything, that it transforms, changes people, fills their lives with meaning. This feeling has enormous power over a person, and the mind sometimes becomes silent before it with Love.

6 I.A.Bunin “Dark Alleys” How sometimes complex relationships between people can be. Especially if it concerns such a strong feeling as love. What to give preference to: the strength of feelings that gripped a person, or listen to the voice of reason, which suggests that the chosen one is from another circle, that she is not a couple, which means there can be no love. Likewise, the hero of I. Bunin’s short story “Dark Alleys” Nikolai in his youth experienced a great feeling of love for Nadezhda, who was from a completely different environment, a simple peasant woman. The hero was unable to connect his life with his beloved: the laws of the society to which he belonged weighed too heavily on him. And how many more will there be in life, these Hopes! (It always seems that somewhere there will be something especially happy, some kind of meeting) As a result, life with an unloved woman. Gray everyday life. And only many years later, seeing Nadezhda again, Nikolai realized that such love was given to him by fate, and he passed her by, by his happiness. But Nadezhda was able to carry this huge feeling of love throughout her life. (Youth passes for everyone, but love is a different matter.) So sometimes fate, a person’s whole life, depends on the choice between reason and feeling. V. Rasputin “Live and Remember” A person must always remember that he is responsible for the people close to him and his loved ones. But the hero of V. Rasputin’s story “Live and Remember,” Andrei, forgot about this. He became a deserter during the war, essentially running away from the front, because he really wanted to see home and his relatives on vacation, which he received for a few days, but did not have time to get home. A brave soldier, he suddenly became rejected by society. Feeling overcame reason, the desire to be at home turned out to be so strong that he, a soldier, broke his military oath. And by doing this, the hero made the life of his loved ones miserable: his wife and parents became the family of the enemy of the people. His wife Nastya also has strong feelings for her husband. Realizing that she is committing a crime, she helps Andrei, who was hiding from the authorities, and does not extradite him. (That’s why she’s a woman, to soften and smooth out life together, that’s why she was given this amazing power, which is all the more amazing, gentle and rich the more often it is used.) As a result, both she and her

7 unborn child: Nastena threw herself into the river when she realized that she was being chased and she was betraying her loved one. (When everything is good, it’s easy to be together: it’s like a dream, just breathe, and that’s all. You have to be together when it’s bad for you why do people agree,” - Nastena’s words) A tragedy, a real drama, unfolded because Andrei Guskov succumbed to the power of feelings. We always need to remember about the people living with us and not commit rash acts, because otherwise the worst thing can happen - the death of our loved ones. M.A. Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita” Love. It's an amazing feeling. It makes a person happy, life takes on new shades. For the sake of love, real, all-encompassing, a person sacrifices everything. So the heroine of M. Bulgakov’s novel Margarita left her apparently prosperous life for the sake of love. Everything seemed to be fine with her: a husband holding a prestigious position, a large apartment, at a time when many people were living in communal apartments. (Margarita Nikolaevna did not need money. Margarita Nikolaevna could buy whatever she liked. Among her husband’s acquaintances there were interesting people. Margarita Nikolaevna never touched a primus stove. Margarita Nikolaevna did not know the horrors of living in a shared apartment. In a word, was she happy? Neither one minute!) But there was no main love... there was only loneliness (And I was struck not so much by her beauty as by the extraordinary, unprecedented loneliness in her eyes! - the words of the Master). (She came out that day with yellow flowers in her hands, so that I would finally find her, if this had not happened, she would have been poisoned, because her life was empty.) And when love came, Margarita went to her beloved. (She looked at me in surprise, and I suddenly, and completely unexpectedly, realized that I have loved this woman all my life! - the master will say) What played the main role here? Feelings? Of course yes. Intelligence? Probably he too, because Margarita deliberately abandoned an outwardly prosperous life. And it doesn’t matter to her anymore that she lives in a small apartment. The main thing is that he is her Master nearby. She helps him finish his novel. She is even ready to become the queen at Woland’s ball - all this for the sake of love. So both reason and feelings

8 were in agreement in Margarita’s soul. (Follow me, reader! Who told you that there is no true, faithful, eternal love in the world? May the liar cut out his vile tongue!) Do we condemn the heroine? Here everyone will answer in their own way. But still, living with an unloved person is also wrong. So the heroine made a choice, choosing the path of love - the strongest feeling a person can experience.

Final essay

in the thematic direction “Reason and Feeling” »

Reason and feeling...What is it? These are the two most important forces, two

components of the inner world of every person. Both of these forces

need each other equally.

The mental organization of a person is very complex. Situations that

happen and happen to us, they are very different.

One of them is when our feelings prevail over reason. For another

The situation is characterized by the predominance of reason over feelings. It also happens

third, when a person achieves harmony, this means that the mind and

feelings have exactly the same influence on a person’s mental organization.

The topic of reason and feeling is interesting to many writers. Reading

works of world fiction, including

Russian, we come across many such examples that tell us about

manifestation of different situations in the lives of fictional characters

works when an internal conflict occurs: feelings come out

against reason. Literary heroes very often find themselves faced with

a choice between the dictates of feeling and the prompting of reason.

So, in Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin’s story “Poor Liza” we see

how the nobleman Erast falls in love with the poor peasant girl Lisa. Lisa

Confusion, sadness, crazy joy, anxiety, despair, shock-

These are the feelings that filled the girl’s heart. Erast, weak and

flighty, lost interest in Lisa, he doesn’t think about anything, reckless

Human. Satiety sets in and a desire to get rid of the boring

communications.

The moment of love is beautiful, but reason gives long life and strength to feelings.

Lisa hopes to regain her lost happiness, but it’s all in vain. Deceived in

the best hopes and feelings, she forgets her soul and throws herself into the pond

near the Simonov Monastery. A girl trusts the movements of her heart, and yes

only “tender passions.” For Lisa, the loss of Erast is tantamount to the loss

life. Ardentness and ardor drive her. to death.

Reading the story by N. M. Karamzin, we are convinced that “mind and

feelings are two forces equally in need of each other.”

In the novel by Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy you can find several scenes and

episodes related to this topic.

L. N. Tolstoy’s favorite heroine, Natasha Rostova, met and fell in love

Prince Andrei Bolkonsky. After Prince Andrei left abroad, Natasha

I was very sad for a long time without leaving my room. She's very lonely without

loved one. During these difficult days, Anatole meets in her life

Kuragin. He looked at Natasha “admiringly, affectionately

glance." The girl was recklessly infatuated with Anatole. Natasha's love and

Andreya was put to the test. Not keeping this promise

wait for her beloved, she betrayed him. The young girl is too young and

inexperienced in matters of the heart. But a pure soul tells her that she

doesn't act well. Why did Rostova fall in love with Kuragin? She saw in him

someone close to her. This love story ended very sadly:

Natasha tried to poison herself, but she remains alive.

The girl ardently repents for this before God and asks him to give

gives her peace of mind and happiness. L. N. Tolstoy himself considered history

The relationship between Natasha and Anatole is “the most important point of the novel.” Natasha

should be happy, since she has enormous power of life and love.

What conclusion can be drawn on this topic? Remembering Pages

works of N. M. Karamzin and L. N. Tolstoy, I come to the conclusion that

that in both works we see internal human conflict:

feelings oppose reason. Without deep moral feeling

“a person can have neither love nor honor.” How are they connected?

reason and feeling? I would like to quote the words of the Russian writer M.M.

Prishvina: “There are feelings that replenish and darken the mind, and there are

the mind that cools the movement of the senses.”
