Biblical Allusions about Human in the F. I. Tyutchev Poetry

Abstract

F. I. Tyutchev’s allusions to the Bible, concerning such topics as love in marriage, love for friends, responsibility for serving before people, images of people’s depravity, the necessary appeal to God, humility, and repentance are discussed in this article. The author analyzes fragments of Tyutchev’s lyrics based on the works of researchers of the poet’s work and the interpretation of biblical passages, which are markers of references, and concludes that the moral teaching in the poetry of Fyodor Ivanovich’s thought is revealed in many vivid images in accordance with the teachings of the Orthodox Church. Thus, the poet fulfills his highest mission of a person of creativity: he proclaims to people the truths of Christianity in an accessible form for them and encourages them to spiritual work.
