Mikhail Yuryevich owns more than 400 poems. At the same time, most of them contain motives of sadness and sadness. This is due to the poet's difficult childhood. In many works of poetry, philosophical motives can be traced.
M. Yu. Lermontov feels like an extra person in society. This is due to the fact that the poet sees the presence of falsity. The company has no ideals, it pretends to be. Therefore, this situation is disgusting. He is aware of himself as an outcast, even though he is in society, even surrounded by its attention.
Many of the poet's philosophical works are devoted to the theme of loneliness. An example is "how often is he surrounded by a motley crowd". This is a poem in which the author demonstrates his detachment from society. There is an imaginary gaiety in it. The poet cannot accept this relationship. He will always be a stranger to society.
If we consider the poem "the Prophet", written under the impression of Pushkin's creation of the same name, we can see some analogies. For example, the question of the poet's appointment. Only in Lermontov's case the prophet always suffers. There is a feeling of sadness, which permeates the entire poetic work.
M. Yu. Lermontov is always sad: both in life and in poems. His philosophical lyrics touch on important topics, but often the hero of the works does not find happiness. It appears to him as something ephemeral, devoid of a hint of happiness. Therefore, sometimes it is fair to identify the lyric hero and the author himself, if it concerns the poems of M. Y. Lermontov, a poet with a strong spirit, but with a sensitive heart.
