Grigory Pechorin
officer of the Russian imperial army, the main character of Mikhail Lermontov's novel "A Hero of Our Time". Combines the features of a Byronic hero from the era of romanticism and a "superfluous man" who has not found a use for himself. I decided to repay my debt to the Fatherland and went to serve in the army. Born in St. Petersburg. In his youth, he quickly abandoned his studies in science and plunged into social life, but even this quickly became boring. For participating in a duel, the young man was punished with real service, being sent to the Caucasus to join the active forces. Complex and contradictory personality. Pechorin experiences an ongoing internal struggle between his feelings and reason. Selfishness, cynicism and indifference to others. Loneliness - Pechorin often feels alienated from society, since his thoughts and interests do not correspond to generally accepted norms and values. Difficult relationships with women - he does not believe in true love and treats women as objects of pleasure. Inner emptiness and dissatisfaction with oneself
