Vladimir Mayakovsky is a poet who accepted the revolution with open arms, a man who discovered revolutionary poetry for creativity. Poems of the poet are thoroughly saturated with fighting spirit and patriotic spirit. One of the post-revolutionary works - "An extraordinary adventure that happened with Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the cottage."
History of creation
The poem "An extraordinary adventure that happened with Vladimir Mayakovsky in the summer at the cottage" was published in 1920. If before the revolution minor works sounded in the poet’s works, then after the revolution, including in this poem, you can see a call for a bright future and bright optimism.
It is known that Mayakovsky skillfully handled metaphors, and this work is no exception, the author created an extraordinary work, which is similar to a real Russian folk epos, a fairy tale.
Genre, Directions, Rhyme
"An extraordinary adventure ..." - this is a real Russian fairy tale, which was written during the time of Futurism. In the poem there are such intonations because of which you trust the poet, you feel every line, and this is a feature in Mayakovsky’s poems.
Here, more than ever, by the way, the same ladder used by the author - it helps to highlight pauses and logical stresses so that the reader does not miss anything.
The most unusual rhymes are found here: here you have the exact rhyme “GROWTH is simple”, and here you have to come to terms with the not quite ordinary “not melting - you and me”.
Main characters
The main character in "Extraordinary adventure ..." is really extraordinary - this is the sun. Another comparison with fairy tales comes to mind, because the sun, like many things in fairy tales, is animated.
Another hero of the poem is a lyric poet who works tirelessly, which he complains about during the conversation with the sun.
Main theme
The theme of the work is simple - what is the role of the poet in society? Talking, the sun and the poet argue that if a person can take instruments in his hands instead of a pen, then the luminary cannot afford it.
In the end, the poet understands that he is doing better than he expected, and it makes no sense to complain. New acquaintances converge on the idea that everyone should do his job - let the sun shine on people by themselves, and the poet will continue to pour out the light with his poems.
Meaning
The idea that Mayakovsky put into his work is actually extremely simple. In the conclusion of the poem, it can be read between the lines - everyone on earth must understand their purpose and follow the chosen path, and if you do something, then do it well.
It doesn’t matter, the poet says, what your profession is, it is important how you perform it and how much soul you invest in it.
Means of artistic expression
In "Extraordinary Adventure ..." there are many means of expression that make it incredibly beautiful. The mass of neologisms, such as “zaenen”, “gold-headed” make the poem unique, and homonyms and colloquial vocabulary make the reader imbued with conversation, forgetting that the poet is talking to the sun itself.
Of course, there were some metaphors, albeit often hidden ones: the sun in the poem sets and sets, as if really something alive.
