!!Examples:
* BetaCouple: Sachar and Anisya
* BigEater: Oblomov, of course. Also, Tarantyev's buddy Ivan Mukhoyarov (brother of Agafya), who likes to spend his money on delicacies instead of more visible luxuries (if only because people could get suspicious - as he says, they can't see what he has in his stomach).
* CloserToEarth: Anisya compared to Sachar, Olga to Oblomov (not that hard)
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The eponymous character
* TheDogBitesBack: When Tarantyev's buddy is fired because they cheated Oblomov, Tarantyev still has the nerve to shout at Oblomov and demand that he'll give half of his property to Mukhoyarov. Then, finally, Oblomov slaps him, and the servants claim they had seen nothing.
* ExtremeDoormat: Agafya. Oblomov is also guilty of this, seeing as he is pushed around by Tarantyev.
* FatSlob: Again, Oblomov. It takes about 150 pages until he leaves his ''bed'', and without Stolz, he may not even have managed that.
* FilmOfTheBook: Made in Russia.
* {{Foil}}: Stolz, for Oblomov.
* TheGenericGuy: Alekseyev.
* GermanRussians: Stolz - a very positive example
* HeavySleeper: Not surprisingly, Oblomov.
* ItsNotYouItsMe: Oblomov to Olga.
* JerkAss: Sachar, who badmouthes his master and steals from him, if only small amounts. Even worse is Tarantyev, who essentially blackmails Oblomov. [[spoiler:After Oblomov dies, Sachar is heartbroken and shows that he was a JerkWithAHeartOfGold all along]].
* TheKlutz: Sachar, who regularly breaks stuff.
* ManipulativeBastard: Tarantyev and his buddy.
* MommasBoy: Oblomov shares many characteristics with them, although his father isn't absent and also never shown to be a typical HenpeckedHusband.
* NeverMyFault: Oblomov is completely unable to change his life by himself; when he gets unhappy he decides to blame Sachar instead. Now Sachar is a JerkAss and whatnot, but still MisBlamed.
* ThePigPen: Sachar always has dirty hands.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: Guess who. After the head of his village tells Oblomov that there are problems, he starts thinking about reforms, and spends the next years with that, without doing anything.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A rare good example. Tarantyev's buddy thinks he can pull off robbing Oblomov blind, but Stolz happens to be on first-name base with the general, who gets Mukhoyarov fired.
* ShutIn: The titular character. He's afraid to leave his house, let alone the city or the country. He gets better, thanks to Stolz... [[spoiler:and worse again.]]
* SpoiledBrat: Oblomov started as this - his family doesn't even mind if he skips school regularly. In fact, they push him to do so.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: At the beginning, Tarantyev is rude and insulting; later, he and a buddy of him essentially cheat and blackmail Oblomov.

The novel is divided into three parts. The first part depicts Oblomov's uneventful life until his childhood friend Andrey Karlovich Stolz visits him; the second part is a HopeSpot, when Stolz pulls him out of his lethargy, urging him to do more, but Oblomov gets distracted by meeting [[LoveInterest Olga]]; [[spoiler:but in the third part, Oblomov again becomes victim of his old habits, which Stolz calls ''oblomovshtchina'' (can be translated as "Oblomovism" - this word entered the Russian language). Result: He continues neglecting his estate in the countryside, breaks up with Olga, gets blackmailed by two "friends", marries the housekeeper Agafya because this is easier to achieve, continues his unhealthy eating habits, has several strokes and finally dies.]]

!!Examples:
* BetaCouple: Sachar and Anisya
* BigEater: Oblomov, of course. Also, Tarantyev's buddy Ivan Mukhoyarov (brother of Agafya), who likes to spend his money on delicacies instead of more visible luxuries (if only because people could get suspicious - as he says, they can't see what he has in his stomach).
* CloserToEarth: Anisya compared to Sachar, Olga to Oblomov (not that hard)
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The eponymous character
* TheDogBitesBack: When Tarantyev's buddy is fired because they cheated Oblomov, Tarantyev still has the nerve to shout at Oblomov and demand that he'll give half of his property to Mukhoyarov. Then, finally, Oblomov slaps him, and the servants claim they had seen nothing.
* ExtremeDoormat: Agafya. Oblomov is also guilty of this, seeing as he is pushed around by Tarantyev.
* FatSlob: Again, Oblomov. It takes about 150 pages until he leaves his ''bed'', and without Stolz, he may not even have managed that.
* FilmOfTheBook: Made in Russia.
* {{Foil}}: Stolz, for Oblomov.
* TheGenericGuy: Alekseyev.
* GermanRussians: Stolz - a very positive example
* HeavySleeper: Not surprisingly, Oblomov.
* ItsNotYouItsMe: Oblomov to Olga.
* JerkAss: Sachar, who badmouthes his master and steals from him, if only small amounts. Even worse is Tarantyev, who essentially blackmails Oblomov. [[spoiler:After Oblomov dies, Sachar is heartbroken and shows that he was a JerkWithAHeartOfGold all along]].
* TheKlutz: Sachar, who regularly breaks stuff.
* ManipulativeBastard: Tarantyev and his buddy.
* MommasBoy: Oblomov shares many characteristics with them, although his father isn't absent and also never shown to be a typical HenpeckedHusband.
* NeverMyFault: Oblomov is completely unable to change his life by himself; when he gets unhappy he decides to blame Sachar instead. Now Sachar is a JerkAss and whatnot, but still MisBlamed.
* ThePigPen: Sachar always has dirty hands.
* RidiculousProcrastinator: Guess who. After the head of his village tells Oblomov that there are problems, he starts thinking about reforms, and spends the next years with that, without doing anything.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: A rare good example. Tarantyev's buddy thinks he can pull off robbing Oblomov blind, but Stolz happens to be on first-name base with the general, who gets Mukhoyarov fired.
* ShutIn: The titular character. He's afraid to leave his house, let alone the city or the country. He gets better, thanks to Stolz... [[spoiler:and worse again.]]
* SpoiledBrat: Oblomov started as this - his family doesn't even mind if he skips school regularly. In fact, they push him to do so.
* WithFriendsLikeThese: At the beginning, Tarantyev is rude and insulting; later, he and a buddy of him essentially cheat and blackmail Oblomov.
