An example of a literary hero whose defeat became a victory. Quotes and epigraphs. Moral, philosophical and psychological aspects
An example of a final essay in the direction of “Victory and Defeat.”
“Only the one who defeats himself wins in this life,” these words from Viktor Suvorov’s book “Aquarium” contain a deep meaning. Victories over hordes of the enemy are not as difficult as overcoming one’s own vices.
Demosthenes, the great orator of antiquity, suffered from tongue-tiedness since childhood. However, his cherished dream - to speak in front of the public, to lead the masses, forced him to tirelessly practice eloquence. Victory over himself was won - legends still circulate about the performances of the brilliant rhetorician, and his name lives on for centuries.
The fate of Demosthenes is a good example for those who are convinced that it is useless to fight shortcomings. This is certainly an erroneous judgment. With a strong desire, each of us is capable of much, including victory over our weaknesses: laziness, uncertainty, fears. Another thing is that such desires often remain just desires. But to make a dream come true, you need to make efforts, and sometimes considerable ones. But there is no limit to self-improvement, and if you work hard, the result will definitely come.
Oblomov, the hero of the novel by I.A. Goncharov, was never able to defeat himself. Ilya Ilyich is accustomed to a half-asleep existence; he is lazy and passive. At some point, he wanted to correct himself, this was during his romantic relationship with Olga Ilyinskaya. Oblomov tried to defeat himself - and was defeated. Laziness turned out to be stronger - the hero was never able to completely leave his beloved sofa... The reason, in my opinion, is that Oblomov did not know how to work at all: in the estate of his childhood, Oblomovka, this was not accepted. What is the result? Ilya Ilyich’s life passed colorlessly and aimlessly, and the dreams that worried him in his youth remained dreams.
There are also counter examples in the literature. Alexey Meresyev, the hero of “The Tale of a Real Man” by B. Polevoy, can be considered a true hero, a Man with a capital “M”. Meresyev's plane, making a combat mission, was shot down by the enemy. Miraculously, the surviving pilot made it to his own people, but doctors were forced to amputate his gangrene-affected legs. Alexey did not lose heart, did not wilt, did not become a burden to his loved ones - he learned to walk again, and then returned to duty and continued to fight the Nazis. Meresyev’s admirable feat is nothing more than a victory over himself - brilliant and grandiose.
F.M. Dostoevsky wrote in the novel “Demons”: “If you want to conquer the whole world, conquer yourself.” It's hard to disagree with the classic. Conquering your weaknesses and shortcomings is not easy. But the one who has won it is able to conquer the world.

A verified final essay on the topic “All victories begin with victory over oneself” in the direction of “Victory and defeat”
Introduction (intro):
Life path Every person is thorny and difficult. It is woven from many victories and lesions that accompany us throughout our lives. We make mistakes, we endure defeat, We are deeply worried about this, and, as happens very often, we give up. A person loses faith in his strength and abilities. To win victory, necessary to get started win yourself, your fears and doubts. This is the very road leading to great victories, and only people strong-willed are able to overcome this difficult path.
A comment: Good girl, very good. Just be more careful with repetitions, do not allow them, use synonyms, pronouns or synonymous expressions. Sometimes you can just remove a word.
The volume is good, the topic is covered. Only the thesis is not formalized. So that it does not get lost against the background of the rest of the text, it is advisable to emphasize it.
Argument 1:
What does it mean to conquer yourself? Victory over yourself is great success, a significant achievement, because only people with a certain set of qualities can defeat themselves. Some of them are determination, as well as the desire to live and the desire for the best.(transition too long). A striking example of such a person is main character Boris Polevoy's story "The Tale of a Real Man" - Alexey Meresyev. The story of a brave pilot is based on real events, which proves that anyone can defeat themselves if they can make every effort. One of Alexey’s flights ended sadly: terrible accident, due to which the pilot lost the ability to move independently. But, even having been defeated in the sky, the hero did not give up, did not give up, but was able not only to set a goal, but also to achieve it. Alexey Meresyev dreamed of how he would take off again and see the azure sky, the expanse of fields, meadows and rivers from above. Only the desire to return to his former full life, determination and daily work on himself helped Alexey overcome fear and illness and achieve his goal.
A comment: Very good. But the transition is too big, you can abandon it altogether. The argument is good, it even became clear what thesis you are proving.
Argument 2:
Sometimes the main value - human life - depends on conquering your fears (this may be true, but not in this argument. It turns out that you have gone a little off topic). It was thanks to his endurance that the old fisherman Santiago survived in Ernest Hemingway’s story “The Old Man and the Sea.” Only on the eighty-fifth day did luck smile on the fisherman, and a huge fish caught his hook. Santiago throws all his strength into fighting her, but she drags him further into the sea. Overcoming fatigue and hunger, the fisherman finally enters into a final battle with the fish and defeats it. What would happen to Santiago if he gave up and stopped fighting for life? His life in this case would have ended in an absurd death in the middle of the sea, and the people on the shore would never have known about what really happened. Not everyone could withstand such an unequal struggle, but the old fisherman succeeded thanks to his courage and fortitude.

Essay No. 2 Complete
Every person dreams of victory. Someone dreams of defeating their own laziness, someone dreams of defeating an opponent, someone else imagines victory in some other way. Victory makes a person happier and more confident. Winning makes you work harder and believe in yourself. Alexey Maresyev, the hero of Roman Polevoy's story, proved his victory several times. The man was able to overcome his fear, his opponent, get out of his comfort zone and fight for life. The person adequately perceived defeat, and this is what gave him the opportunity to overcome uncertainty, overcome pain and suffering.
Victory teaches us that we need to be able to accept defeat. After all, it is easy to win a victory once, but it is very difficult to win many times. Winning means constantly working on yourself. Achieve your goals, fulfill your promises to yourself first and foremost. To win is to be successful, lucky and self-confident.
Most big victory The Slavic nation can be called a victory over the Nazis in May 1945. A great desire to win and liberate the lands helped the people to win not only glory, but also to defend the right to life. More than one defeat accompanied a great victory. Many battles were lost, many people gave up mentally. But the ability to adequately respond to defeat forced people to win and prove to the whole world that the first step to victory is victory over oneself, over one’s fears and insecurities and laziness.
I want victory over my personal fears to give me strength and confidence. I want to learn to accept defeat without resentment. I believe that every defeat can bring me closer to victory. And when I win, I will try to ensure that victory always walks next to me and makes me happier many times over.
