The dramatization of the novel depicts a period when the patriarchal way of life in Russia was coming to an end and the aristocratic-landowner world, with its philosophy of life and hierarchy of values, was giving way to new forces. Oblomov is an organic part of the environment in which he lives. He is as closed off as Oblomovka and its inhabitants. He lives his life on the sofa and finds all the hustle and bustle of his contemporaries meaningless. The principle of his existence is peaceful lethargy, an effort to isolate himself from the flow of events and time. His opposite is his friend Stolz, whose philosophy of life presupposes constant movement and entrepreneurial spirit.
