Optimism in the war poem "Vasily Terkin" by A. T. Tvardovsky
Writers of the front-line period and those authors who were contemporaries of poets who passed the second world war, always treat their works with special sensitivity. The writer and poet A. T. Tvardovsky is no exception to this rule. The author's pen contains many works, but one of the most significant in his work is the poem "Vasily Terkin".
The author managed to portray a cheerful and brave soldier. Vasily encourages other colleagues. He is never discouraged. This helps the platoon to bear the hardships of military life more easily. Through the image of Vasily, the author shows the situation, shares his thoughts. Vasily is easy to understand what attracts him always.
The poem is imbued with optimism and the belief of soldiers in victory. There is no pathos in the bad sense of the word. Everything is appropriate. Terkin is not a hero, although he is brave in attack. His bravery is respected by his colleagues. However, Vasya is even more loved and appreciated for his ability to support in a difficult moment.
The poem is filled with optimism, without which life is impossible. Faith in the best, support of loved ones – this is the power that is capable of much in life. The second world war as a terrible war that claimed many lives, frightened even the bravest of warriors. Vassily encouraged the soldiers, allowing them to believe in victory. Therefore, the image of Terkin shows a cheerful soldier, able to overcome fears by faith in a bright future.
A good joke always helps. This principle was followed by Vasily. He's not just saying something, he's making an appropriate joke. And each of his jokes is good, as is the brave Terkin himself. Therefore, the soldiers are calm with Vasya. Here is a real Russian soldier: the embodiment of honor, courage and the ability to support with words and deeds.
