The problem of selfless and forgiving parental love arguments. Literary examples-arguments on the topic

The article by V. Sukhomlinsky deals with the problem of maternal love. This problem is classified as eternal and has always been so. The moral question that the author reflects on is very topical, because the mother, as in the Middle Ages and today, is the only person for the child who will never give or deceive.

The author believes that maternal love is strong, and also “there is no tenderness more tender than a mother’s caress and care, there is no anxiety more alarming than sleepless nights and a mother’s unclosed eyes.” I completely agree with the author, and, on

In my opinion, mom is the person who will console, understand and forgive at any moment of our lives. Her love is a great force that helps in the most difficult times. You can give a huge number of arguments to confirm your position. Let's look at them.

As first proof, I want to give an example from the literature. In A. N. Tolstoy’s work “Russian Character,” the main character Dremov, awarded a vacation, went home, introducing himself as a different person. But without living there even a day, he returned back to his unit. It seems to Dremov that he has become a stranger to his parents. But her mother's heart told her that he was coming

Son. It doesn’t matter to parents whether their son is handsome or not, the main thing is that he stays alive.

As the next proof, I would like to cite a statement from a famous person. Maxim Gorky said: “You can talk about swearing endlessly. So inevitable is the love that a mother bestows on her child. And most importantly, selfless.” The words of the Russian writer only confirm that there is no love stronger than a mother’s.

Thus, indeed, a mother’s love for her child is pure and real.

A mother's love is the purest, not dependent on any circumstances. It is the mother who will always understand and accept any choice of the child, because the main thing for her is the happiness of her beloved child. If this is what happens in a person’s family, then he can be considered the happiest.

Many writers and poets sang maternal love in their works. The Many-Wise Litrekon was pleased to select these literary examples for essay-reasoning on the OGE in the Russian language for you. But if you lacked any specific argument, then write to us in the comments what needs to be added.

1. In N. V. Gogol’s story “Taras Bulba” maternal love is shown through the example of the wife of the main character, the stern Cossack Taras. The heroine put all her love, tenderness and passion into her feelings for her sons Ostap and Andriy. Marriage did not bring her happiness: she saw only anger and beatings from her husband. But children for her always remained a light in the window. I rarely saw them, since my sons studied away from home. But when the mother met with the children, she did everything for their comfort; she couldn’t stop looking at them. She was not even afraid to stand up for her sons before their father, who sent them to fight. And on their last night at home, the inconsolable mother admired the sleeping Ostap and Andriy until the morning. Her love for her offspring is evidence that a mother’s heart beats for her children.
2. A mother's love is clearly shown in L. N. Tolstoy’s story “Childhood” in the image of Natalya Nikolaevna, Nikolenka’s mother. The woman was distinguished by meekness and kindness; she was considered a real angel. She loved her husband, but he deceived and ruined her. Natalya Nikolaevna did not hide her love for children; she was not ashamed to caress them and talk to them (although such attention to offspring was not common among the nobility). Yes, the mother did not spend too much time with the children, but they all felt her love and care and communicated with her every day. The death of Natalya Nikolaevna was a terrible blow for everyone, especially for Nikolenka. Children feel their mother's love especially strongly, so it is very difficult for them to lose it.
3. Blind and reckless motherly love is shown in the comedy by D. I. Fonvizin “The Minor”. The landowner Prostakova loved only her son Mitrofan, indulged him, surrounded him with care (sometimes unnecessary). The woman did everything for the sake of her over-aged child, without even noticing that excessive care was making him ungrateful and lazy. Mitrofan himself took his mother’s love for granted; for him there were only his own interests, and his mother was only their executor. Therefore, the son abandoned his parent in difficult times, when she ceased to be powerful. Unfortunately, not all people can appreciate mother's love.
4. The theme of mother's love is given attention and in N. M. Karamzin’s story “Poor Liza”. The main character lived with her old mother, who was her only relative. The elderly peasant woman loved her husband and daughter very much, and the loss of her lover made Lisa the last hope for her mother. Therefore, despite her enormous love for Erast, which swept away everything in its path, the girl took care of her parent, tried to protect her from the passions of her own life, even before suicide she thought about how to soften this act for her mother. However, with the death of her daughter, the meaning of life dried up for the elderly woman, and she also died. Thus, the essence of a mother’s existence is the life of her child, which is why it is so difficult for women to survive the death of their children.
5. Mother's love always manifests itself in different ways. A. N. Ostrovsky in the drama “Dowry” showed the unusual maternal love of Kharita Ignatievna Ogudalova for her daughter Larisa. The Ogudalovs are poor, there is only one chance to get out of poverty - Larisa’s successful marriage. This is the reason that Kharita Ignatievna is trying in every possible way to promote her daughter to organize her personal life: she organizes evenings to which she invites wealthy people, asks her closest rich people for money for maintenance, and forces Larisa to communicate with “high” society that she finds unpleasant. Kharita Ignatievna sees happiness and success in this, she wishes her daughter well, but she does it in her own way, with an emphasis on material well-being.
6. In the novel by F. M. Dostoevsky “Crime and Punishment” Pulcheria Alexandrovna, mother of Rodion Raskolnikov, sets an example of the highest maternal love. She sees only the best in her son and places all her hopes on him. For his education and living in St. Petersburg, his mother is ready to give all her savings. Pulcheria Alexandrovna does everything for the sake of the heir, and he appreciates this love and care, to be ashamed of such a high honor for him, a murderer. When Rodion was tried for the crime, the inconsolable mother went crazy and then died, because she could not withstand her son’s suffering. This example demonstrates the inextricable connection between a mother and her child: when trouble happens in a child’s life, his mother experiences it more acutely than he does.
7. Countess of Rostov , heroine of L. N. Tolstoy’s novel “War and Peace”, represents the absolute image of the mother. Her motherhood is the main characteristic of her personality; for the sake of her family and children, she is ready to do anything, even meanness (she does not want to give carts for the wounded in order to preserve property for the children, she interferes with the love of Sonya and Nikolai, because the girl is poor). The loss of a child is the main tragedy in her life, because after the death of her son Petya, she almost died herself. For her children, Rostova is the main protector and adviser, she will do everything possible for them, for this they love and appreciate her. This speaks of the generosity and power of maternal love, all-consuming and all-forgiving.
8. Ilyinichna, heroine novel by M. A. Sholokhov “Quiet Don”, has invested her whole life in children. She got married as a beautiful and blooming girl, and then the beatings and betrayals of her husband began. But how can they leave, because they have a family, they cannot deprive the children of their father. The woman endured everything just to put the children on their feet and raise them to be worthy people. During revolutionary events, which Ilyinichna did not want to understand, she was on the side of those who could protect her family. The civil war took away Peter’s son, and his son Gregory’s life was ruined. Ilyinichna faded away, grief and longing for Grigory consumed her, so she did not wait for him to return from the war. This example suggests that the mother’s heart is very sensitive to the troubles and joys of her children.
9. Katerina Petrovna, heroine story by K. G. Paustovsky “Telegram”, lived alone, she was fueled only by hopes for the happiness of her daughter Nastya. Her mother did not want to disturb her, she rarely wrote, but constantly thought about Nastya, who lived and worked in Leningrad. The daughter had no time to even read her mother’s letter; she was busy with work, not knowing that at that time Katerina Petrovna was dying. But the elderly woman passed into another world without reproaches towards her inattentive child; for her it was happiness to receive at least a short message from Nastya, and then die quietly. And so it happened. The image of a meek and kind mother evokes the greatest respect from the reader. Looking at the heroine, we understand the full power of maternal love.
10. The image of mother's love is shown L. Ulitskaya in the story “Daughter of Bukhara”. The oriental beauty Alya gave birth to a daughter with Down syndrome, then it was a completely unfamiliar and incomprehensible diagnosis, it was clear that little Milochka would never be an ordinary child. Ali's husband could not stand this circumstance and left her alone with the child. But the mother did everything to adapt her daughter to life, to teach her to live independently. The woman fell ill with a fatal disease, knew that her days were numbered, but she thought not about herself, but about Darling. The mother got her daughter a job, got her married, and then simply left to die in order to protect her child from suffering. Only maternal love is capable of such supreme self-sacrifice.

Ready-made arguments for writing the Unified State Exam:

The problem of motherhood

The problem of blind maternal love

Motherhood as a feat

Possible theses:

Mother's love is the most powerful feeling in the world

Being a good mother is a real feat

A mother is ready to do anything for her children

Sometimes mother's love blinds, and a woman sees only good things in her child

D. I. Fonvizin comedy “The Minor”

A striking example of blind maternal love is Fonvizin’s comedy “The Minor.” Prostakova loved her son so much that she saw only good things in him. Mitrofan was allowed to get away with everything, any of his whims were fulfilled, his mother always followed his lead. The result is obvious - the hero grew up as a spoiled and selfish young man who loves no one but himself, and is not indifferent even to his own mother.

L. Ulitskaya story “Daughter of Bukhara”

A real maternal feat is described in Ulitskaya’s story “The Daughter of Bukhara.” Alya, the main character of the work, was a very beautiful girl. Having become Dmitry’s wife, the oriental beauty gave birth to a girl, but it soon became clear that the child had Down syndrome. The father could not accept the handicapped child and left for another woman. But Bukhara, who loved her daughter with all her heart, did not give up and devoted her life to raising the girl, doing everything possible for her happiness, sacrificing her own.

A. N. Ostrovsky play “The Thunderstorm”

Mother's love is not always expressed in affection. In Ostrovsky’s play “The Thunderstorm,” Kabanikha, the main character’s mother-in-law, loved to “educate” her children, giving them punishments and reading morals. It is not surprising that son Tikhon showed himself as a weak-willed, dependent person and a mumbler who could not take a single step without his “mama.” Kabanikha’s constant interference in her son’s life had a negative impact on his life.

F. M. Dostoevsky novel “Crime and Punishment”

In Dostoevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, endless maternal love can also be traced. Pulcheria Alexandrovna was most worried about the happiness of her son Rodion and believed him no matter what. For his sake, the woman was ready to sacrifice her daughter. It seems that the son was much more important to Pulcheria than Dunya.

A. N. Tolstoy’s story “Russian Character”

Tolstoy's story "Russian Character" emphasizes the power of maternal love. When tanker Yegor Dremov received burns that disfigured his face beyond recognition, he was afraid that his family would turn their backs on him. The hero visited his relatives under the guise of his friend. But sometimes a mother’s heart sees clearer than her eyes. The woman, despite her alien appearance, recognized the guest as her own son.

V. Zakrutkin’s story “Mother of Man”

Zakrutkin’s story “Mother of Man” tells how big the heart of a real mother can be. During the war, the main character, having lost her husband and son, was left alone with her unborn child on land plundered by the Nazis. For his sake, Maria continued to live, and soon she took in the little girl Sanya and loved her like her own. After some time, the baby died of illness, the heroine almost went crazy, but stubbornly continued her work - to revive what was destroyed, for those who, perhaps, will return. During this time, the pregnant woman managed to shelter seven more orphans on her farm. This act can be considered a real maternal feat.

The author expresses his attitude to the problem, citing as an example an ancient Ukrainian legend. It tells how one mother’s son brought his young wife into the house, but the daughter-in-law immediately disliked her mother-in-law. The writer anxiously tells how the son meekly carries out his wife’s terrible order: to kill his mother, take the heart out of his chest and bring it to her. Returning home with a trembling mother's heart in his hands, the son tripped over a stone and fell. The mother’s fallen heart perked up and whispered: “My dear son, didn’t you hurt your knee?” The author sadly conveys the later repentance of the son, who, sobbing, put his warm mother’s heart into his torn chest. He realized that no one loved him as devotedly as his own mother. In this legend, as in any other, miracles can happen.

Thanks to the inexhaustible mother's love and the great desire to see her son joyful and carefree, the mother's heart will come to life.

I can’t help but agree with the writer’s position. I also believe that maternal love is the purest, sincerest and real. Only a mother is able to love without demanding anything in return, to love her children for who they are.

I remember A. Akhmatova’s poem “Requiem,” in which a drama unfolds related to repression in the country. In the poem, the writer conveys the tragedy not only of the entire country, but also of her own. This is a story about my fate and the fate of my son. “I have been screaming for seventeen months, calling you home, throwing myself at the feet of the executioner, you are my son and my horror.” In the poem, A. Akhmatova screams about the severe and unbearable maternal pain and conveys the true love that all mothers who stood “under Cross."

The second example of maternal love is the heroine of the story “Mother of Man.” Her husband and son were killed before Maria's eyes. Unbroken by the grief and suffering brought by the ruthless war, she fights for her life and the life of her unborn child. The events that take place reveal the greatness of Mary's boundless love. A hungry, exhausted woman saves children and animals, seeing a wounded fascist, the woman hatefully rushes at him with a pitchfork, wanting to avenge her husband and son, but the defenseless German calls her mom, and then the heart of the Russian mother trembled. It was the feeling of motherhood that stopped Maria. The love of a mother’s heart can overcome even the most terrible desire - the desire to kill.
