| Pushkin A.S. Eugene Onegin |
| Eugene Onegin is a young nobleman, the main character of the novel. He received a "French" education at home. His education is quite superficial (a little Latin, anecdotes from world history, an inability to distinguish "iamb from trochee," an interest in the works of the fashionable economist Adam Smith at the time). However, the hero has fully mastered the "science of tender passion." He "hurries to live and is eager to feel." O. entertains himself in every possible way: he attends the theater, balls, friendly dinners, social lunches, etc. But soon the hero becomes disillusioned with everything. He is overcome by "melancholy." The reason for O.'s sadness is his spiritual emptiness. The hero's external brilliance indicates an inner coldness; his sarcasm speaks of arrogance and contempt for the whole world. O. himself is aware of his "spiritual disability." Hoping to dispel his boredom, O. goes to the village to visit his ailing uncle. Here he meets Lensky, who introduces him to the Larin family. Tatyana Larina falls in love with O. and confesses her feelings to him. The meeting with Tatyana touches something in his "cold and lazy soul." But O. rejects the girl, saying that he is not made for love and family life. Some time later, the offended Lensky challenges the hero to a duel, where he dies at his hand. The death of the young L. shocks O. He leaves to travel. At the end of the novel, O. appears again. He arrives in St. Petersburg, where he meets Tatyana, who is now married. Seeing the brilliant princess, O. discovers in his soul the ability to love sincerely ("like a child"). The letter he writes to Tatyana confirms this. Not receiving a response, O., in despair, begins to read indiscriminately and tries to write. But if in the village he read "out of duty" and out of boredom, now it is out of passion. It is out of passion that he commits an "improper" act: he visits Tatyana without warning, in her boudoir. The hero's emptiness began to be filled with a strong feeling, with the life of the heart. Tatyana's rejection dashed all of O.'s hopes, but at the same time, it caused a revolution in all his thoughts and feelings. The ending of the novel remains open: one can only guess about the further fate of O., who was reborn thanks to love. |
