Grigory Alexandrovich Pechorin

Negative traits of his character: excessive self-esteem, excessive pride, selfishness, mental coldness, prudence, hypocrisy, adventurism, cruelty, for the sake of his whim can destroy a person, lives for himself, he has no purpose in life, wastes himself on trifles. Maxim Maksimych remembers the first meeting with his future comrade in this way:

"He was so thin, white, and his uniform was so brand new that I immediately guessed that he had recently been in the Caucasus."

In the eyes of Bela herself, Pechorin already looks more masculine:

"Our young horsemen are slender, they say, and their caftans are lined with silver, and the young Russian officer is slimmer than them, and he wears gold braid. He's like a poplar tree between them; just don't grow, don't bloom in our garden." Finally, in "Maxim Maksimych" we see a "canonical" description that is broadcast in almost all lectures, textbooks and articles, which is given to us by an unnamed officer-narrator:

"At first glance at his face, I would not have given him more than twenty-three years old, although after that I was ready to give him thirty. There was something childish in his smile. His skin had a kind of feminine tenderness; blond hair, curly by nature, so picturesquely outlined his pale, noble forehead, on which, only after long observation, one could notice traces of wrinkles crossing one another and, probably, were much more clearly marked in moments of anger or mental anxiety. Despite the light color of his hair, his mustache and eyebrows were black — a sign of the breed in man, just like the black mane and black tail of a white horse. To finish the portrait, I will say that he had a slightly upturned nose, teeth of dazzling whiteness and brown eyes; I must say a few more words about the eyes "Maxim Maksimych remembers the first meeting with a future comrade like this:

"He was so thin, white, and his uniform was so brand new that I immediately guessed that he had recently been in the Caucasus."

's character is complex and ambiguous. This hero evokes both sympathy, dislike, and irritation. The positive features of his character are: a sharp mind, a desire to find oneself, self-criticism, introspection, courage, knows how to love, is capable of action. There is another explanation for the unsightly actions of the hero, which he gives himself:

"I was modest — I was accused of deceit: I became secretive. I deeply felt good and evil; no one caressed me, everyone insulted me: I became vindictive; I was sullen, — the other children were cheerful and talkative; I felt superior to them, —I was put below. I became envious. I was ready to love the whole world, but no one understood me: and I learned to hate."

So, the hero hints at the "trauma" and loneliness that befell him as a child and caused all the following events. Pechorin has a very strong and strong-willed character, he is very smart, he understands people well, you can even say that he is cunning to a certain extent. But he lacks the usual human compassion. He is deaf to other people's troubles. It is difficult to call him a hero, but also a villain, despite all his actions.
