A speech characterization of the character Oblomov in the novel Oblomov? and got a better answer
Response from
The language of the characters bears the imprint of their social status Oblomov and Olga speak the usual language of the intelligentsia of the nobility. At the same time, Olga, who grew up in the city, has almost no sense of the common people's vocabulary. It is the elegant language of a well-bred girl. In the language of Oblomov, who grew up in the village, common people's words occur quite often, for example: Dug me, bramkat; Crawls he potatoes and herring; Namedni, etc. In Oblomov's speech there are words and turns of phrase indicating his occupation, social affiliation, specifics of upbringing, cultural level, degree of education. Oblomov is a lazy man who sees no meaning in life, and it is this character trait that is most reflected in his speech. - "In ten places in one day - miserable! " - "Except to work from eight o'clock to twelve, from twelve to five, and at home still - oh, oh! "And all to write, all to write, like a wheel, like a machine: write tomorrow, the day after tomorrow; the holiday will come, the summer will come - and he still writes? When shall I stop and rest? Unhappy! "But mostly the language of the characters in Goncharov's novel is characterized not by the vocabulary, but by a peculiar intonation. Oblomov's speech is usually calm. Only in rare cases under the influence of irritation, for example, when Zakhar compared him to other people or in the scene of exile of Tarantiev it takes on an agitated character.

The village of Oblomovka stood on the bank of a small river called the Volga. Only old people and children lived there, because there was no work for adults. Old men sat on benches all day and smoked their rotten goat feet. Half of the names in the village were Oblomovs, even the dogs and pigs. So they ran up and down the village like mad, screaming in different voices. A policeman named Koldoba lived in the village and served there. He kept order and sniffed tobacco, then blew his nose and farted loudly. All the boys teased him and made fun of him by throwing dead rats and sauerkraut at him. He growled at them, but could not catch up because he was too fat. So the days and years passed without changing anything in the village. Ilya's mom was old, so she could not see well and when the kid made a mess, she could not understand: Who is it so noisy as a locomotive. And she ran to the train station to meet her husband who worked as a janitor in Moscow for two kopecks a day and slept at home in Vladimir. She ran there, but the locomotive wasn't there. And then she beat Ilya like a goat that sparks fell from his eyes right onto the floor and onto the cat's snout. And then young Ilya decided to run away from home to Kiev, where they sold lard at the market. He wanted it badly because he was always hungry. He had no money, so he stayed home to get education. But it didn't work out, and his mother started beating him with a belt. That's how the boy grew into a big uncle and became Oblomov. He didn't want to work and couldn't do anything but drink vodka and lie in a ditch. There was a church in their town where all the drunkards met and begged for a hangover. Nowhere else was the only place he could scrape together a kopeck and buy a bucket of vodka to drink for his friends on the bank of the Klyazma River, where horses and pigs bathed. That's how existence defined Ilya's consciousness. There were no television sets back then to watch Dom-2, but where else could you pick up intelligence? At school, they started studying it and a saying called Oblomovshchina was born. They were kind of undereducated. Nowadays those who were not brought up well also watch Dom-2 hoping to straighten their minds but they do not succeed. Their brains are completely out of whack.
