(418 words) One of the most striking works of I. A. Goncharov is his novel Oblomov. In it, the writer tells the life story of an uninitiated, careless and lazy nobleman who spends most of his life lying on the couch. The fate of Ilya Ilyich Oblomov is extremely boring and faded. When reading a work in mind, the question involuntarily arises: is Oblomov's fate a regularity or an accident?
Oblomov is a hereditary nobleman 32-33 years old. In his youth, he left to serve in St. Petersburg, but after working for 2 years, he resigned and since then has been sitting at home without any relief. His favorite pastime is to sleep, he doesn’t read magazines and books, doesn’t go to balls and dinners, all this disgusts him. Ilya Ilyich literally gets tired of everything: “... you will get tired of this love, as you are tired of books, of service, of light ...”. Despite the fact that he is surrounded by an unclean, dusty apartment, the untidy and awkward servant Zakhar, the pseudo-friends who use him, everything suits the hero. His life is meaningless, monotonous, dull and fresh, but Oblomov needs more.
With the advent of his old friend Stolz and the young girl Olga, the hero’s life, at first glance, begins to change, and Ilya Ilyich leaves his comfort zone. He begins to move out of the house, read books, move more. But grabs Oblomov for a while. Soon, he again pulls on his huge, old, worn robe and lies on the sofa. All his behavior is explained by his dream, in which he sees happy colorful episodes of his carefree childhood. In a dream, the hero briefly returns to his native village of Oblomovka, which appears to the hero as a paradise on Earth. The only child in the family, little Ilyusha was extremely spoiled, literally swimming in a sea of care, affection and love. Everything was done for him by his parents and servants, his every whim was immediately fulfilled: "... Ilya Ilyich will want something, he just needs to blink - already three or four servants rush to fulfill his desire ...". Father and mother really wanted to give their son a decent education, but at the same time indulged all the whims of Ilya and often left him at home on school days. After Oblomov’s dream, his apathy, inaction and laziness become clear. From childhood, these qualities were brought up in him, and hardly living in Oblomovka, Ilya Ilya could become as lively and hardworking as his friend Stolz.
Having followed the whole life path of the protagonist - Ilya Ilyich Oblomov - we can say with confidence that his fate is a regularity. Growing up in an atmosphere of peace and nonchalance, the hero is simply not accustomed to either mental or physical labor. Throughout his childhood, his parents encouraged his idleness, which led to a similar lifestyle called "Oblomovism." But does this "Oblomovism" harm the hero? Ilya Ilya is happy to exist in this way, and, probably, do not interfere with his life as he wants, if this does not harm the people around him.
