What the author managed in the poem is the Nightingale Garden. Analysis of the poem Block A. “The Nightingale Garden. The Nightingale Garden of Block A.A
There are two roads to the hero of the poem. One is labor, heavy and monotonous. Another is the love of a beautiful woman, the peace and charm of a nightingale garden. The hero leaves his miserable hut, the faithful assistant of the donkey and goes there, to the alluring nightingale garden. But very soon he realizes that happiness was there, on the rocky paths along which he walked with his donkey. The hero leaves a beautiful garden, a gentle lover, but late. There is already neither his hut nor his donkey, and another person descends along the path trodden by his feet.
The poem contrasts two themes. The first is everyday prosaic life, filled with content and action. The second is paradise life, without work and purpose. The text of the poetry consists of seven chapters. From the very beginning, the first topic arises, which, echoing the second, continues for three chapters. Already from the fourth chapter, the hero falls into the garden. Staying in the garden, the second theme, is devoted to only four stanzas. And then the first topic reappears, but this is not life, filled with content and action, but the result of being in the garden - loneliness, the meaninglessness of existence.
Behind the fence of the Nightingale Garden, the hero “breaks down layered rocks”, he has “a mind clouding from knowledge”, he “dreams of a different life”. And in the nightingale garden the hero, "intoxicated with golden wine," "forgot about the rocky path."
When the hero’s stay outside the garden fence is described, “heavy” words are used: “drags”, “pieces”, “begins to scream”. And to describe the hero’s stay in the garden, gentle, romantic expressions are used: “nightingale tune”, “streams and sheets whisper”, “brooks sang”.
K. Chukovsky reproached A. Blok for "excessive sweet sounding" of the Nightingale Garden. But you can “justify” the poet. The description of the garden can only be "excessively sweet-sounding." Because such a life cannot be portrayed differently, a different description does not go to it.
The image of the sea plays a big role in the poem. The sea symbolizes everyday life, “rumble” is endless, hard work, noise, life. In the Garden of Eden, “the life of the curse” is not heard, but there is not even life itself. The hero is attracted back to his routine, because a person cannot be happy without work and purpose. In the pink chains, something turned out to be hopelessly lost; the “rumble of the sea” does not have the power to drown out the nightingale song.
The main idea of \u200b\u200bthe poem, I think, is precisely this.
To the hero’s question: “Is there a reward waiting for punishment, If I deviate from the path?” Block answers at the end of the poem. No wonder he gives in the poem a scene of a clash of crabs. This scene emphasizes the depth of the loneliness of the hero, which came due to the fact that he deviated from the path.
The nightingale garden poem is considered romantic. The period of writing this poem is a transitional period in the writer's work. The transition from symbolism to realism was reflected in the poem. There are many characters, even when describing real life, a lot of romance. But realism wins.
In the poem “The Nightingale Garden” (1915), A. Blok raises the most important moral and philosophical problems of duty and loyalty to him, love and the right to happiness, the purpose of art and its place in it.
The title of the poem “The Nightingale Garden” is already significant. It turns us to many sources. Firstly, to the Bible: the Garden of Eden, the paradise of the earth, from where God drove out Adam and Eve, and since then people in hard work have to get their daily bread. Secondly, the image of the garden as a symbol of beauty, unattainable happiness, temptation appears in Russian folk and oriental tales.
In Blok's poem, the image of the garden is ambiguous. A garden is both an image of happiness unattainable for a person, and an image of an alluring dream, and a selfish life path when a person lives only with his love in his small personal world, and an image of art for art, devoid of any civic interests. The Nightingale Garden is a kind of test, the temptation of the hero, which is found in the life of every person. The poem shows the tragic gap between a person’s craving for happiness and beauty and a sense of duty, a consciousness of the inability to forget about the “terrible world”. / Find in the text a concrete-subject characteristic of the image of the garden and reveal its generalized-symbolic meaning /.
The poem’s composition is symbolic: 7 parts and a ring construction of the work
(starts and ends on the seashore) / What does this mean for understanding the idea of \u200b\u200ba work? Why is the narration conducted in the first person?
The narration is conducted in the first person, which gives the work the character and intonation of confession, a sincere and sincere story about the experience ..
Consider the chapters of the poem carefully, paying particular attention to its images, symbols and vocabulary.
The first part can be called the introduction, in which certain facts of the life of the lyrical hero are reported: every day the lyrical hero with his donkey does hard work / what is the meaning of the work he performed?/ and their path passes by a beautiful garden. The narrative is based on contrast: the ultimate realism (the work of the lyrical hero and the donkey) is combined with fairy tale, mystery (description of the garden); a prosaically reduced picture of heavy joyless labor and the beauty and poetry of the nightingale garden. The epithets of the real world contrast with the epithets depicting the garden:
Donkey is present in all chapters except the fourth. He is always “tired” and “poor”. On the one hand, a donkey is a symbol of the real world, low reality. On the other hand, this is the image of an assistant who helps the hero do dirty, difficult work, and then with his cries reminds him of the abandoned work path, of duty. In the Bible, the donkey was one of the first among the animals to recognize Christ and at the same time represents obedience. This does not contradict the Blok image: everyone has to go his own way, without deviating to the end, no matter how difficult he is. And the reward awaits the one who does it. Balaam, sent to curse the Israelites, did not see the angel of God, and his donkey saw, helped Balaam see and believe. It seems to me that in the poem of Blok, the donkey helps the hero return to the right path - the path of a hard worker. True, when the hero returns, he does not find his donkey, but this is a punishment for apostasy, for abandonment of previous ideals, from the destined from above the path. In Apuleius’s novel “The Golden Donkey, or Metamorphoses”, Lucius was turned into a donkey by the maid’s servant and, in order to restore his human appearance, he ate roses. I think that the donkey of Apuleius has a different meaning than that of Blok. / What do you think? /
All images, symbols, and other means of artistic depiction of the poem are subordinated to the basic idea. So, the sound image creates a surf (rumble of the sea), the cry of a donkey. These sounds contrast with the “nightingale tune,” with a song in the garden.
... Not only space is symbolic (seashore, road), but also time: the action begins in the evening, at the end of the working day (“at low tide,” “the blue haze falls”), and ends in a new morning.
... The mystery of the garden is emphasized by the use of indefinite pronouns: “Something”, “someone”.
... A haze motif arises that passes through the whole poem (except for chapter 4) in the same way as the image of a donkey.
In the second part, the hero is in thought (“thought”); the possibility of another life arises: “another life is dreaming - mine, not mine ...”. A consciousness arises of the futility of the present existence:
And why in this cramped hut
I, poor poor, waiting ...
The contrasting image of the life of the poor and the “ringing garden” continues:
The symbolism of color traditional for the Block also matters here: a white dress is a hint at the possibility of contact with the ideal, its implementation, blue, as it were, predicts the collapse of the ideal, disappointment in it.
The hero is tormented by doubts; he does not immediately respond to “whirling and singing”:
Every evening in the sunset fog
I walk past this gate ...
The space also changes: the garden is surrounded by a wall (enclosed space). If we compare it with the sea, symbolizing life, the elements, but at the same time freedom, we will see its absence in the garden: “the fence is high and long”, “wall”, “lattice ... carved”.
It's almost night. The garden can give rest from everyday life.
... In this chapter, the image of the Beautiful Lady is more clearly described: “white dress”, “she is light”, “beckoning”, “calling”, that is, this image is given in the manner traditional for the Block.
The garden is called “ringing”: a nightingale song sounds, She sings. The musiclessness for the Bloc is a sign of spirituality, the deadness of the world.
The lyrical hero is intoxicated by sounds, is about to leave the real world in a fairy-tale, mysterious and beautiful, where the whirlpool attracts him, the song calls. “ And in the inviting lace and stump, I catch something forgotten ”-obviously, here is the memory of the dreams of youth, the expectation of high love, the belief that it is the meaning of life.
In the third part, the hero, not having yet visited the garden, begins to love the nightingale garden.
At night, “a burnt donkey rests,” “a crowbar is cast in the sand under a rock,” and the hero, in love, wanders around the garden. Under the influence of dreams about the garden, even the usual road, everyday work seems mysterious: “And the familiar, empty, rocky, but today - the mysterious path.” For him, in love, everything around was transformed. The hero, wandering in the dark, not noticing how time goes, keeps returning “to the shady fence, Escaping into the blue dregs.” It is no accident that here again the blue color is a symbol of collapse, betrayal. Word "blue"assigned to a noun “Haze”, as if reinforcing the uncertain perspective of the decision. But even before the last step towards the unknown future of the hero, there are doubts about what awaits him in the nightingale garden: “Does punishment await, or reward, if I deviate from the path?” This is a matter of moral choice: duty or personal happiness, what is happiness, is it possible to “deviate” from the chosen path with impunity, is it possible to change one’s vocation? In the poem road, rocks, garden, hard, exhausting work, donkeynot only life realities, but have a generalized symbolic meaning. This is accordingly the road of life, its hardships, a dream, an ordinary, ugly side of life. Sooner or later, each person faces the question of loyalty to the chosen path, despite all the difficulties, or the search for a more beautiful and easy road.
The fact that a struggle is taking place in the hero’s soul is emphasized by the repetitions: "Languor", "weary", "languor is all hopeless." And the hero abandons his past, the path of the laborer, he is completely dominated by dreams of the garden and “deviates from the path”.
The central part in the composition of the poem is the fourth, in which the hero enters the garden.
... The garden does not disappoint the lyrical hero: the “cool road” (after the heat), lilies (the Flower of the Beautiful Lady in Blok’s early poetry, and the Bible’s attribute of the Virgin Mary, symbolizing her purity) on both sides of the road, “sang streams”, “sweet song the nightingale. " He experiences “unfamiliar happiness”; the garden even surpassed the dream of the beautiful
(“Poor dream”). And the hero forgets about his former path: “I forgot about the stony path, about my poor comrade.” These words sound condemningly. But this happens under the influence of “golden wine,” under the influence of passion ( “Gold scorched by fire”), because her arms opened “A foreign land of unfamiliar happiness.”
But in the fifth chapter we see that the hero has doubts about the correctness of the decision made, and again there appears a motive of darkness. “The wall sunk in roses” and “nightingale song” cannot drown out the rumble of the sea, the noise of real life: anxiety brings “the roar of waves”, “the soul cannot hear the distant tide noise”. The hero went into the garden in the evening, at low tide, and in chapter 5, the sound of the tide is heard. The lyrical hero begins to torment remorse. Love and the pursuit of happiness took him away from life, but everyday storms and anxieties found him, the duty reminds himself. . “And suddenly - a vision: a long road and a tired donkey tread.” Man was born for a life full of labor, struggle, patience; he cannot live long in the artificial world of Love, Happiness, fenced off "from dolgy grief." It is no accident that the beloved is “in the darkness of incense and sultry” and the garden is in the darkness.
The sixth chapter tells about awakening (“I woke up in the misty dawn”, “enchanted dream” was interrupted) and the flight from the garden, while my beloved is still sleeping. / Why does the hero escape from the nightingale garden? / Moreover, morning comes to replace the night on the shore, and there is no time in the garden (as in a dream or in something completely unreal, fabulous; or maybe you can only be happy in a dream?) The hero hears “distant and measured blows” of the tide, The “roar of the surf,” the “mournful cry” of a donkey, long and drawn out, is all a manifestation of real, real life, filled with hard, dirty, debilitating, but necessary work for people. Fulfillment of human and civil duty above personal Happiness, fenced off from the storms of life by a wall covered with roses.
The hero escapes from the enchanted garden through the fence, but the roses try to keep him:
And going down the fence stones
I broke the flowers of oblivion.
Their thorns are like arms from a garden
Clinging to my dress.
Roses are the most important symbol of dreams, happiness, without which the existence of the nightingale garden is impossible: “Along the fence ... of extra roses, flowers hang to us”, “and prickly roses today fell under the dew-thrust”, “a wall drowned in roses”. In Greco-Roman mythology, a rose is a flower of Aphrodite, symbolizing love. In this sense, the rose has become a traditional symbol of romantic poetry. Roses also bloomed in the Garden of Eden, but they had no thorns. In medieval courteous culture, a maiden was surrounded by a rose garden: plant thorns protected the chastity of the bride. / What is the meaning of the rose in the poem? / Blok has a different meaning for the rose: it is a symbol of empty illusions, an element of beauty, and not of true beauty. The same can be said about the image of the nightingale. In romantic poetry, this is a symbol of real art, in which external ugliness is opposed to inner beauty and talent. At Blok, the nightingales sing in the enchanted garden: “The nightingale's chorus does not cease”, “in the nightingale's ringing garden”, “they stunned me with a sweet song, the nightingales took my soul”. But their song is part of an alluring pipe dream, temptation, temptation. It is opposed to the cry of a donkey and the rumble of the sea, which symbolize life with its anxieties, work, worries, and is weaker than them:
Drown out the rumble of the sea
The nightingale song is not free.
It is no accident in the poem, starting with the fourth chapter, we are talking about the soul: “Nightingales took my soul”, “the soul cannot hear the distant noise of the tide”, “the donkey's cry was long and long, penetrated my soul like a moan. "Initially, the hero shows weakness, succumbs to temptation, and the nightingales took possession of his soul.
In the seventh, final, chapter, the hero returns to his former path (“familiar”, “short”, “siliceous and hard”), but he was late. The days spent in the garden turned into years. “Deserted shore”, no home. Once “abandoned crowbar, heavy, rusty, covered with wet sand under a black rock”. And “a worker with a pickaxe chasing another's donkey” descends towards him along a well-trodden path. The hero is experiencing confusion - this is the reckoning for a temporary betrayal of duty. His place as a laborer is occupied by another - he has lost his place in life. This is both punishment and retribution. The poor man broke the covenant given to man from above: in the sweat of his face, to get his daily bread, to walk along the stony path of life, on which he will find anxieties, hardships, hard and exhausting work.
The ring arrangement shows that life goes on. And the hero as a result does not run away from life, but into life. Rough life is stronger than dreams. / Is it possible for the hero to return to the nightingale garden? /
As already noted, the poem is built on contrast, which emphasizes the struggle between real life and the world of ideal beauty, or rather, even beauty. On the one hand, it is a poem about the meaning of life, about the choice of one’s life, about moral values \u200b\u200band guidelines in this life. On the other hand, there is a lot of autobiographical in the poem, and it can be considered as a poetic confession about your creative path. When Blok sang the Beautiful Lady, he did not hear the “roar” of real life; he was fascinated only by the idea of \u200b\u200bpriestly service to the ideal of Eternal Femininity. But soon the poet refused this, chose the path of a worker. It is no coincidence that in the same years when Blok worked on the poem, he wrote the following lines:
Yes. So dictates the inspiration:
My free dream
Everything clings to where humiliation
Where there is dirt, and darkness, and poverty.
And on May 6, 1914, the poet wrote to L. A. Delmas: “Art is where there is damage, loss, suffering, cold.”

The Nightingale Garden
In the romantic poem "The Nightingale Garden" A.A. The block draws two opposed worlds. The first is characterized by heat, layered cliffs and a muddy sea shore. This is the everyday world of human existence, filled with everyday hard work. And next to it is a different, magical, sublime and sophisticated world. It is a marvelous garden with cool, nightingale trills and beautiful roses and songs. It is in him that he strives to turn the stubborn donkey of the hero of the poem.
What does the refined romantic image of the “Nightingale Garden” symbolize? The reader receives a more specific answer to this question in the second chapter of the poem, where the image of a woman in white appears who calls the lyrical hero with her stump and beckons with lace.
A.A. The block shows how poor and monotonous the life of a lonely person is and how it can be transformed when love settles in the hero’s heart. In the third chapter, the magic charms of the nightingale garden spread already beyond its fence. The “familiar, empty, rocky” path begins to seem to the lyrical hero of the poem “mysterious”, as it leads to an alluring fence. Roses from the Nightingale Garden fall lower and lower. The heart tells you to enter the garden and become a welcome guest there.
In the fourth chapter, the lyrical hero finally decides to open the previously impregnable doors. And, to his surprise, they open for him themselves. Paradise bliss awaits the lyrical hero in the garden. An image of happiness is drawn in emphasized romantic colors: the coolness of lilies, the monotonous song of streams and the sweet trills of nightingales, the ringing of wrists and, finally, the feeling of intoxication with wine and golden fire. The lyrical hero forgets about his work, about the donkey left behind the fence.
However, in the fifth chapter, the author exclaims: "To drown out the rumble of the sea, the Nightingale's Song is not free!". These lines emphasize the essence of Blok's understanding of happiness. No higher enjoyment (even love) can replace a person's sense of accomplishment, the understanding that he is on his way. “Nightingale song” in this context can be perceived as a symbol of a dream of personal happiness, of love, of idle joys. The "sea", as is customary in classical literature, symbolizes life in a broad sense, an established world order. If in the first chapter of the poem, when the hero breaks the ramps and carries their pieces on a donkey to the railroad, the sea behaves favorably, peacefully, the ebb begins, then in the fifth chapter the eye rumbles, trying to be heard. And the soul of the lyrical hero hurries to the sound of the surf.
In the sixth chapter, the hero leaves the sleeping beloved and goes to the mournful cries of the donkey and the measured blows of the waves. Only the thorns of beautiful roses, "like hands from the garden", are trying to hold him.
In the seventh chapter of the hero of the poem, a heavy retribution awaits him for having violated his duty: the tide destroyed his house on the shore. And his workplace was taken by another person. For short-term happiness I had to pay everyone I had. This is the answer to the question posed in the third chapter of the poem: "Will punishment await il reward, If I deviate from the path?"
Thus, the main compositional technique in the poem is the antithesis, which applies not only to the organization of the artistic space of the poem, but also to sound images. Along with the general philosophical interpretation of the poem in criticism, there is an opinion that it contains a polemic A.A. Bloc with supporters of "pure art". In this regard, the “Nightingale Garden” can be understood as a refusal to depict the problems of historical reality, a departure to some ideal space and a narrowing of the tasks of the contemporary author of art.
A. Block wrote the poem "The Nightingale Garden" during his romance with opera singer L. A. Andreeva-Delmas. A reference to the fact that this poem is dedicated to their relationship is a song performed by a stranger in the work. Below is an analysis of the Nightingale Garden of the Block.
The plot of the poem
In analyzing Blok's Nightingale Garden, you need to briefly talk about the plot of the work. It is quite simple: the main character is a poor worker who has only an old house and a faithful donkey. Every day he walks along the same road to his hard work. The hero walks past a beautiful garden, which calls him so. But the worker every time hesitates to open the gate.
But one day he still decided to enter a wonderful garden. Both his beauty and the beautiful singing of nightingales amazed the hero. Once in that heavenly place, he forgot about time and his faithful companion. But after some time he began to miss his work, work, the excitement of life. Therefore, the hero left the garden. But when he came, he did not see either his house or his donkey.
In the analysis of Blok's Nightingale Garden, it should be noted that the plot is built on the opposition. The hero chooses among two full experiences, worries, work, or one in which he was waiting for pleasure, beauty and tranquility. In the poem, labor and laziness are compared. And the hero began to miss the activities that filled his life with meaning.
Short review
A brief analysis of Blok’s Nightingale Garden by chapters allows readers to show the entire depth of the plot, despite its apparent simplicity. The first parts describe the everyday life of the hero of the poem. Each time, passing by a beautiful garden, he hears someone's beautiful singing.
And in his hut, he reflected on his life. And the hero understands that he will not lose anything if he decides to go into this garden. The worker more and more falls in love with the beauty of that place. These chapters show that the hero is tired of everyday life, boring and monotonous reality. You can also conclude that the hero is selfish. He did not even have the thought of taking his faithful companion with him - the old donkey.
In the third chapter of the hero there are doubts: what is the best choice? The unknown scares him: what awaits him there, behind the fence of the nightingale garden? And in the next chapter he is already in the world of beauty, tranquility and love. The garden turned out to be much more beautiful than in his wildest dreams. Intoxicated by new impressions and the realization that his dreams have come true, the hero forgets both his duties and his friend.
The fifth and sixth chapters describe the life of a worker in a nightingale garden. He lost track of time, he does not care. Only occasionally is the sound of waves that the nightingale's song could not drown out. And the sea reminded him of the real life that he had left. But the heroine's love and affection allowed him to forget all worries and doubts.
Once the hero heard the cry of his donkey, and he decided to leave the garden. The seventh chapter tells how, having returned, he could not find either his house or his friend. And someone else is already doing his job, and another donkey is helping him. Unable to appreciate what was in his real life, spending his time in constant idleness, the hero lost the meaning of life. You need to be able to appreciate all that is in real life, and not try to live with dreams alone.
The main character
In the analysis of Blok's Nightingale Garden, a brief characterization of the hero of the poem is necessary. A lyrical hero is a simple person tired of routine and worries. He himself characterizes himself as "the poor poor." His life consists of hard work, he has nothing but a hut and a donkey. Therefore, he is so eager to get into that garden where he can live, without worrying about anything and not worrying.
Once in the garden, the hero lost touch with reality. He did not know how much time had passed, what was happening. He seemed to hide from all the problems and worries in a dream. Therefore, the hero no longer heard the sound of waves. In the analysis of Blok’s nightingale poem, it should be noted that the sea acts as a symbol of life.
And when the hero gets tired of constant idleness, he again hears the sounds of real life. Thus, the reader sees that it is in real life, communicating with real people, that makes sense.
Literary trails
Also, in the analysis of Blok's Nightingale Garden, it is necessary to determine what literary techniques the author resorted to when writing a poem. The poet used a hidden antithesis - the opposition of the garden and the sea. To give greater artistic expression, A. Blok used personification, a large number of epithets, comparison and metonymy.
In a more mature period of creativity, the poet began to move away from the symbolist trend. And in this poem the first attempts of his transition to realism were reflected. But still, there were still signs of symbolism in this work. This article presented an analysis of Blok’s poem “The Nightingale Garden”.
