Oblomov and Zakhar : Two sides of the same coin (English)
Abstract [sv]

Romanen Oblomov (1859) av Ivan Gontjarov handlar om den lättjefulle adelsmannen Oblomovs liv. Boken har varit föremål för utbredd forskning tidigare men någon undersökning som lagt fokus på Oblomovs betjänt Sachar mot bakgrund av den slöa livsstil som boken skildrar har inte gått att finna. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att genom noggrann läsning av framförallt de episoder där Sachar är närvarande lära känna hans karaktär och funktion i boken och på så vis fylla ett litet tomrum i forskningen om Oblomov.

Bortsett från deras olika befattningar är Sachar i stora drag mycket lik sin herre Oblomov och hans bifigur fungerar som någon som belyser huvudkaraktärens egenskaper. Samtidigt förstärker Sachars gestalt både närvaron av slöhet i boken och budskapet om en lättjefull livsstil som något negativt.

Abstract [en]

Oblomov (1859) by Ivan Goncharov deals with the life of the lazy nobleman Oblomov. The novel has been the object of extensive research before, but no study has been found with Zakhar, Oblomov’s servant, as its focus. Therefore, this essay puts Zakhar, including the indolent lifestyle portrayed in the book, in the centre of attention. By close reading of the text the aim has been to investigate his character and function for the narrative, thus reducing a small gap in the research of Oblomov.

Although different in position, Zakhar is much alike the lethargic Oblomov with his purpose in the novel being to highlight his master’s features. Also, Zakhar’s presence reinforces the occurrence of idleness in the novel as well as the message of a slothful lifestyle as being something negative.
