The concept of an extra person in the works of classics of the first third of the XIX century: Chatsky, Onegin, Pechorin
You should start by understanding which person is perceived as "superfluous". For the first time, a vivid image of an extra person was created by A. S. Pushkin in his work "Eugene Onegin". In the understanding of the classic, an extra person is a literary hero who has some status, is endowed with intelligence and skepticism in equal measure, but, for all his advantages, is unable to be a classic example of a nobleman of that time. This similarity unites, in particular, Chatsky and Onegin.
Both are orphans, both are heirs of a fairly wealthy noble family, both are intelligent and educated. Both of them are capable of displaying both sharp intelligence and sarcasm in their speeches. For all their similarities, they also had quite a significant difference in their attitude to society. Onegin was bored with balls and the luxury accompanying them. Chatsky did not go to balls, because he initially avoided them. They are superfluous in different ways. Onegin voluntarily rejects a society that bores him. But in relation to Chatsky, the opposite is true: society rejects him, even though he himself does not feel the slightest attachment to him.
Chatsky and Pechorin.
Both characters carefully avoid boredom. But if Chatsky simply changes the impact of the environment on himself, then Pechorin takes the initiative to avoid boredom. And if Chatsky suffers from his attitude to others, then others, on the contrary, suffer from various initiatives Pechorin.
Onegin and Pechorin.
The characters are United not only by their upbringing and social status, but also by a very similar character. Both love women, both are smart, and both are not very successful in their lives. However, if the blame for the General disorder in Onegin's life is solely on him, then Pechorin is a victim of circumstances.
All three literary characters are superfluous in the understanding of the writers who created them. However, all three are superfluous in completely different ways. Pechorin is unable to conform to the society around him. Chatsky society does not accept because of his desire to necessarily change the existing order. And Onegin is acceptable in society, but categorically does not accept it himself. It simply bored him with its monotony.
