The work depicts the life of the capital's aristocratic society. In the novel, as in an encyclopedia, you can learn everything about the era, how they dressed, what was in fashion, the menu of prestigious restaurants. We can also find out what was going on in the theaters of that era. The life of the nobility is a continuous holiday. Their main occupation is empty chatter, blind imitation of everything foreign, gossip that spreads at an instantaneous speed. They did not want to work, because "stubborn work was sickening to them." Pushkin writes that a person's fame depends on his financial situation. The author shows the monotony of the metropolitan society, empty interests, mental limitations.
The color of the capital is "necessary borders", "for all angry gentlemen", "dictators", "seemingly evil ladies" and "non-smiling girls". Everything in them is so pale, indifferent; They slander even boringly; In the barren dryness of speeches, Inquiries, gossip and news, Thoughts will not flare up for a whole day, Though by chance, even at random ... The description of the nobles given by the poet shows that they had only one goal in front of them - to achieve glory and ranks. Pushkin condemns such people. He makes fun of their way of life. The poet shows us various pictures of Russian life, depicts before us the fate of different people, draws the types of representatives of the noble society characteristic of the era - in a word, depicts reality as it really is.
V. G. Belinsky wrote that "Eugene Onegin" can be called "an encyclopedia of Russian life and in the highest degree folk art". "Eugene Onegin" was written over several years, and therefore the poet himself grew up with him, and each new chapter of the novel was more interesting and mature. A. S. Pushkin was the first to poetically reproduce the picture of Russian society, taken in one of the most interesting moments its development.
Belinsky said that "Eugene Onegin" is a historical work, which describes the customs, customs and life of Russian society. The author can rightly be called a national poet: he writes about his heroes, about nature, about the beauty of cities and villages with love and patriotism. Pushkin condemns secular society, which he considered hypocritical, flattering, unreal, changeable, because people who still sympathized with a person today could turn away from him tomorrow, even if he did nothing wrong. It means having eyes and not seeing anything. Onegin was very close to the author, and through his actions the poet showed that society is not yet ready to change and accept such an advanced person as Eugene Onegin into its circle. Pushkin blames society for the death of Lensky, because, out of fear of becoming the cause of gossip, laughter and condemnation, Onegin decides to accept the challenge: ..
The old duelist intervened; He is angry, he is a gossip, he is a talkative... Of course, there must be contempt At the cost of his funny words, But the whisper, the laughter of fools... Pushkin shows not only vices, but also the true virtue and ideal of a Russian woman in the image of Tatyana Larina. Tatyana, like Onegin, is an exceptional being. She also understood that she was born before her time, but at the same time she believed in a happy future: Tatyana believed in the legends of the common folk antiquity, And dreams, and card divination, And the predictions of the moon. Tatyana treated secular society coldly, without regret she would have exchanged it for life in the village, where she could merge with nature: Tatyana (Russian soul, Without knowing why herself) With her cold beauty She loved the Russian winter ... Pushkin reflected in detail and truthfully in in the novel, the life of the landowners in the village, their way of life, traditions: They kept in a peaceful life the habits of sweet antiquity; They had Russian pancakes at the oily Shrovetide; Twice a year they go...
The author lovingly describes the beauty of Russian nature and sadly says that monotony has killed dreaminess, optimism, and love of life in people: But maybe this kind of pictures will not attract you: All this is low nature; Not much beauty here. A. S. Pushkin reflected the life of most Russian families, in which a woman did not have the right to vote, but habit replaced grief, and, having learned to control her husband, the wife could get everything she wanted: ... Tore and cried at first, With her husband almost divorced; Then she took up housekeeping, got used to it, and became satisfied. A habit from above is given to us: It is a substitute for happiness.
Reading the novel in verse by A. S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin", you understand how in detail and truthfully he described the life of peasants and landowners, the behavior and upbringing of children in the family, the life of secular society. Reading "Eugene Onegin", you can feel that the author lives in this world, he condemns something, but he is touched by something. I think that Belinsky, calling the novel "an encyclopedia of Russian life", acted wisely, because it reflects all aspects of the life of that time. "Onegin" is a poetically true picture of Russian society in a certain era. AT.
G. Belinsky A. S. Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin", created in the twenties of the nineteenth century, in the era of the birth and subsequent defeat of Decembrism, became the first realistic novel in Russian literature. The uniqueness of this work lies not only in the fact that the novel was written in verse, but also in the breadth of coverage of the reality of that time, in the multi-plot of the novel, in describing the features of the era in which A. S. Pushkin lived. "Eugene Onegin" is a work in which "the age and modern man". BUT.
S. Pushkin in his novel tries to portray his characters in real life, without much exaggeration. He faithfully and deeply showed a man in many-sided relations with the society that surrounded him. And now, after almost two centuries, it can be said with confidence that A. S. Pushkin really succeeded. No wonder his novel was rightfully called by V. G. Belinsky "an encyclopedia of Russian life."
In fact, after reading this novel, as in an encyclopedia, one could learn almost everything about the era in which many people lived and worked. famous poets and writers. I learned about how people dressed, how they spent their time, how they communicated in secular society, and much more. Reading this unique work and turning page after page, I was able to get acquainted with all layers of Russian society of that time: and with high society Petersburg, and with noble Moscow, and with the life of the peasants, that is, with the entire Russian people. This once again indicates that Pushkin was able to reflect in his novel the world around him. Everyday life society from all sides. With a special impression, the author tells about the life and fate of the Decembrists, many of whom were his close friends. He likes the features of his Onegin, in which, in his opinion, a true characterization of the Decembrist society is given, which allowed us, the readers, to become more deeply acquainted with the Russian people of the early nineteenth century.
Beautifully and poetically, the poet managed to depict the delights of St. Petersburg and Moscow. He loved Moscow, the heart of Russia, so in some lines of his digressions about this most wonderful city one could hear the following exclamations of the poet's soul: "Moscow ... how much has merged in this sound for the Russian heart!". Rural Russia closer to the poet. This is probably why special attention in the novel was paid to village life, its inhabitants and descriptions of Russian nature. Pushkin shows pictures of spring, paints beautiful autumn and winter landscapes. At the same time, he, as in showing people and their characters, does not strive to describe the ideal, the extraordinary.
Everything in the poet's novel is simple and ordinary, but at the same time beautiful. This is how V. G. Belinsky wrote in his articles about the novel: “He (Pushkin) took this life as it is, without diverting from it only its poetic moments, he took it with all its coldness, with all its prose and vulgarity.” This, in my opinion, makes the novel by A. S. Pushkin popular to this day. It would seem that the storyline of the novel is simple.
At first, Tatyana fell in love with Onegin and frankly confessed to him about her deep and tender love, and he managed to love her only after the deep shocks that occurred in his chilled soul. But, despite the fact that they loved each other, they could not unite their fate. And they are to blame for their own mistakes. But what makes the novel particularly expressive is that this simple storyline real life seems to be strung with a lot of pictures, descriptions, lyrical digressions, a lot of real people with their different fate, with their feelings and characters. After reading A.
S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin", I realized how important it is sometimes to know the truth of life. If it were not for the realistic creations of many writers and poets of those times, we, the current generation, would probably never have known about the real life of past centuries, with all its flaws and peculiarities. The novel "Eugene Onegin" occupies a central place in the work of A. S. Pushkin. "Eugene Onegin" is a realistic work.
"Eugene Onegin" is a realistic novel that presents a broad, historically accurate picture of Russian life. early XIX in. The poet painted various types of people, characters, conditioned by the social environment and time. Before him, writers did not see the dependence of character on the social environment. Pushkin explores the process of the formation of heroes, shows them not static, but in development, in a collision with the environment, in spiritual transformation. For the first time in Russian literature, the poet reveals the psychological depths of the characters, draws their inner world with realistic motivation and fidelity. Pushkin conveys the internal psychological state through the external movement, the behavior of the characters.
The realism of the novel is colored by a critical attitude towards reality. This is expressed primarily in the type of conflict - a disappointed, dissatisfied person in his social needs is in conflict with the environment, which lives according to its inert laws. However, in portraying the hero realistically, Pushkin does not tear Onegin out of his circle. According to the correct remark of Herzen, Onegin "never takes the side of the government", but also "is never able to take the side of the people."
Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" determined the trend of the further development of Russian literature in line with critical realism.
The novel "Eugene Onegin" was named by V.G. Belinsky "encyclopedia of Russian life". Indeed, as from an encyclopedia, from a novel, one can learn everything about the Pushkin era. The novel shows all layers of Russian society: the high society of St. Petersburg and patriarchal Moscow, the local nobility and the peasantry.
The novel gives an idea of the education system of the nobility at that time, of the reading circle of provincial young ladies and young people of St. Petersburg. The description of Onegin's one day recreates a pastime typical of noble youth: sleeping until noon, invitation notes that the servant brings to bed, a walk along the boulevard, dinner in a trendy restaurant, theater, dressing up for the ball, the ball itself until morning.
As in a Dutch still life, the dishes served for lunch shimmer with rich colors. Pushkin poeticizes everyday details, describing Onegin's St. Petersburg office with elegant trinkets and French perfumes. We will learn how young aristocrats dressed, what was fashionable in those days. A special place in the picture of the life of St. Petersburg, created by Pushkin, is occupied by the theater - "a magical land".
Pushkin is surprisingly accurate not only in describing the details and signs of everyday life, but also of time. It is possible to determine with certainty when this or that event of the novel occurs, what is the age of its characters.
In "Eugene Onegin" real people are constantly mentioned - poets, Pushkin's friends, ballet dancers, playwrights, fashionable hairdressers and tailors known in those days.
The pages of the novel reflect the literary struggle, the confrontation between romanticism and realism, new theatrical trends.
There is not a single side of the life and life of Russia in the early 19th century that would not be reflected, as in a mirror, in a novel. Moral and everyday, socio-political, literary and theatrical representations, realistically reproduced in "Eugene Onegin", make it an encyclopedia in which "the century and modern man are reflected."
With the title of the novel, Pushkin emphasizes the central place of Onegin among other characters. An aristocrat by origin and upbringing, "having fun and luxury a child", Eugene Onegin, fed up with secular life, became disillusioned with the surrounding reality. A man with a sharp critical mind, he becomes hostile to the light. He tries to find answers to emerging questions in books, but he does not find either an ideal or a goal. Onegin's disappointment in life is not a tribute to romantic fashion, not a desire to dress up in the cloak of Childe Harold. This is a natural stage of development, due to belonging to the noble intelligentsia. Pushkin in Onegin reflected the drama of the position of an advanced noble intellectual, who was in opposition to the authorities, but also far from the people, had neither business nor purpose in life. Onegin is an individualist, alone experiencing his disappointment with others. V.G. Belinsky called him a "suffering egoist."
The duel with Lensky became a stage in Onegin's spiritual development. Denying secular morality, Eugene Onegin could not resist the opinion of the world and refuse to duel. The senseless murder of a friend makes him leave the village, becomes the impetus for a deeper and more serious perception of life.
Describing Onegin, Herzen wrote that the hero is "smart uselessness", it is "an extra person in the environment where he is, not possessing the necessary strength of character to escape from it."
The complex and contradictory image of Onegin determined the beginning of a whole galaxy of "superfluous people" in Russian literature.
Pushkin immediately gives the image of Lensky as an antithesis to Onegin:
They agreed. Wave and stone
Poetry and prose, ice and fire Not so different from each other.
At the same time, Lensky is close to Onegin in terms of the level of development, in terms of the height of spiritual requests. This is also far from a simple image, which is sometimes seen as a debunking of romanticism. Pushkin ironically says:
He sang separation and sadness,
And something, and foggy distance.
At the same time, Lensky is a bright and pure person, whose misfortune is that he does not know life, enthusiastically believes in the ideals gleaned from books. His freedom-loving dreams do not find a real embodiment. “Dear ignoramus at heart,” Lensky, like Onegin, did not fit into contemporary society. He had two ways: either the gift of the poet would have developed in him and acquired a civil sound, or, broken by society, Lensky would have healed like everyone else. The idealistic-romantic attitude to reality was not viable. And the death of Lensky is natural. Herzen noted: "The poet saw that such a man had nothing to do in Russia, and he killed him with Onegin's hand."
The female characters of the novel, Tatyana and Olga, are also built on opposition. Tatyana is the embodiment of Pushkin's ideal, and not in some abstract romantic image, but in an ordinary Russian girl. Everything is normal in Tatyana, her appearance is not striking at first sight. Tatyana grew up in the countryside, among Russian nature, listening to the stories of the old nanny and the songs of the village girls. In her character, Russian, folk combined with what French sentimental novels carried with them, developing daydreaming, imagination, sensitivity:
Dika, sad, silent ...
She is in her native family Seemed like a stranger girl.
Tatyana has a rich inner world. She is naturally gifted
rebellious imagination,
Mind and will alive,
And wayward head
And with a fiery and tender heart.
Like any original nature, Tatyana finds herself alone. She longs to find a kindred spirit, which in her imagination she saw in Onegin.
Tatyana is different from the girls of her circle. She does not behave in a typical way for a girl brought up in patriarchal traditions - contrary to generally accepted concepts, the first confesses her love. Tatyana is sincere, pure, open in her monologue-letter to Onegin.
After Onegin's departure, Tatyana wants to understand who he is, her hero? Reading books with his notes, immersion in an unknown world, reflection on what she had read prepared Tatyana, according to Belinsky, for "rebirth from a village girl into a secular lady." But even being in the world, Tatyana retains purity and sincerity, "everything is quiet, it was just in her." She is alien to "the rags of a masquerade, all this brilliance, and noise, and fumes." To Onegin's confession, Tatyana sadly replies:
I love you (why lie?),
But I am given to another;
I will be faithful to him forever.
Tatyana rejects Onegin, because she cannot violate her moral principles. Brought up on folk ethical rules, Tatyana cannot make her husband, whom she deeply respects, unhappy. Her moral requirements for herself are high, and she considers loyalty to her husband a duty. Belinsky is hardly right, who saw in Tatyana's fidelity a profanation of love. Consistency in upholding one's moral principles in life just speaks of the integrity of the heroine's nature. The image of Tatyana embodied Pushkin's ideal of a Russian woman.
The complete opposite of Tatyana is her sister Olga. She is always "frisky, carefree, cheerful." Her portrait reflects a common type of beauty - the ideal of the novels of that time:
Any romance
Take it and you will find it
Her portrait.
The insightful Onegin remarks that "Olga has no life in her features." This mediocre, unremarkable girl is not capable of strong deep feeling. After Lensky's death, "she did not cry for long," she got married and, probably, will repeat the fate of her mother, who
Salted mushrooms for the winter,
Conducted expenses, shaved foreheads,
I went to the bathhouse on Saturdays
She beat the maids, getting angry ...
The skill of Pushkin as a realist was especially clearly manifested in the creation of images of heroes. Reflecting the socio-typical, the poet revealed the individual psychological traits of the characters, showed their inner world.
Creativity A.S. Pushkin had a huge impact on the subsequent development of Russian literature. Gogol remarkably accurately defined the role of the poet: "Pushkin is an extraordinary phenomenon and, perhaps, the only manifestation of the Russian spirit: this is the Russian man in his development, in which he may appear in two hundred years."

The novel "Eugene Onegin" is a comprehensive implementation of realistic principles. Pushkin's realism is realized in all aspects of his poetic work: both in the realism of characters, and in the realism of the plot (Pushkin based the relationship of characters on those life conflicts that life itself gave him), and in the realism of language, and, finally, in the realism of verse, in the sense that Pushkin builds a verse on intonation that corresponds to the experiences of a certain character.
The main problem of "Eugene Onegin" is the problem of the crisis of noble culture, a reflection of those historical contradictions that arose before the noble society in the era of serfdom.
The plot of "Eugene Onegin" lies in the history of the collision
the best characters created by noble culture, with the society that gave birth to these characters.
The defining moment in the development of the plot is the impact on the heroes of the social conditions and conventions characteristic of the noble environment, leading to the collapse of their personal destiny. The insulted Lensky unconsciously submits to them, challenging Onegin to a duel; Onegin consciously submits to them, accepting this challenge and contradicting himself (“The conditions of light having overthrown the burden ...”, Onegin, however, could not overcome “false shame”); Tatyana consciously submits to them when she gets married (“for poor Tanya, everyone was equal in the lot”) and last meeting with Onegin, etc.
The plot of "Eugene Onegin" is limited to a love conflict, but the causes of the social order - the conflict of the individual with the environment, with society - are felt in the very fate of the characters.
So, choosing events to characterize Tatyana, Pushkin was bound by the fact that a woman during this period did not have any opportunities for manifesting her social activity, and in this sense, a love conflict was already a form of expression of public protest. For example, Tatyana's letter is a violation on her part of the usual norms of social behavior. It is no coincidence that Pushkin in several stanzas motivates Tatyana's act and justifies it. Suffice it to recall that even at such a moment of social upsurge as was the Decembrist uprising, the social activity of a woman could only be revealed in the fact that she shared the fate of her husband, and this very fact (the departure of Trubetskoy, Volkonskaya, etc.) had a huge public outcry.
The composition of "Eugene Onegin", understood as the principle of the deployment of action and characters, is distinguished by the typical features of a realistic composition. In the composition of "Eugene Onegin" the following points can be noted:
1) the naturalness of the life process itself, the deployment of characters in their natural everyday and social environment (as opposed to "romantic" poems, where there is a conventionality of the life situation in which the character develops);
2) the logical sequence of action and development of characters;
3) the typicality and regularity of life circumstances and the motivation of actions.
In "Eugene Onegin" realistic principles in the field of plot are fully implemented. The type of life peculiar to them was found for the heroes, those circumstances were found in which they are revealed with the greatest completeness. Thus, Onegin is given in the circle of such life circumstances in which the type of a refined, weak-willed person who was losing the ability for real practical activity was really created.
The following main points are noticeable in Onegin's character: typical noble education, secular life, threatening ruin, receiving an inheritance, coming to the village, casual friendship with Lensky, acquaintance with the Larins, duel, travel, return to St. Petersburg, love for Tatiana, when she becomes " impregnable goddess of the luxurious, regal Neva, "that is, the return to the same secular life from which he left - this is the main chain of events in which Onegin's character is realized. The same principle can be established in the depiction of Lensky, Tatyana (rural silence, closeness to nature, attachment to the nanny, etc.)
The principle of realism is also found in the sequence of events, in their internal motivation. One event follows from another and determines the next one. Arrival in the village of Onegin, rapprochement with Lensky, Tatyana's meeting with Onegin, her letter, Onegin's quarrel with Lensky, the duel and its consequences, etc. - all this is given in a consistent logical connection insofar as it is inextricably linked with the very growth of characters .
The wider and more versatile the characters are revealed in the novel, the deeper the contradictions of the surrounding social reality are revealed. The absurd death of Lensky, the fading of Onegin in the "inaction of leisure", the insignificant role of Tatyana as the "legislator of the halls", the dramatic finale of her life ("but I am given to another ...") and the life of the nobility itself, as it is given in the novel - all this, taken together, leads to the conclusion that Pushkin was deeply aware of the "imperfection of the world", in which its best representatives perish.
The serf-owning environment destroys and devalues characters that bear the best traits of humanity, destroys people who are critical of this reality. Here is the contradiction of the social reality of that time, which Pushkin reveals in Eugene Onegin. The image of a person, drawn by Pushkin, had in itself such aspirations, the full implementation of which was possible only in other social conditions, and this is the realism of these images.
"Eugene Onegin" is the first Russian realistic novel, truthfully and broadly showing Russian life in the 19th century. What makes it unique is the breadth of coverage of reality, the description of the era, its distinctive features. That is why Belinsky called "Eugene Onegin" "an encyclopedia of Russian life."
One of the questions raised on the pages of the novel was the question of the Russian nobility. In his novel, Pushkin truthfully showed the life, life, interests of the nobility and gave an accurate description of the representatives of this society.
The life of the landlord families proceeded in peace and quiet. They were like a “kind family” with their neighbors. They could laugh and slander, but this is not at all like the intrigues of the capital.
In the families of the nobles, "the lives of the peaceful habits of sweet antiquity were kept." They observed traditional folk, festive ceremonies. They loved songs and round dances.
They left life quietly, without fuss. For example, Dmitry Larin "was a kind fellow, belated in the last century." He did not read books, did not delve into the economy, into the upbringing of children, “ate and drink in a dressing gown” and “died at an hour before dinner.”
Very figuratively, the poet showed us the guests of the Larins, who had come to Tatyana's name day. Here are “fat Pustyakov”, and “Gvozdin, an excellent host, owner of poor peasants”, and “retired adviser Flyanov, a heavy gossip, an old rogue, a glutton, a bribe taker and a jester”.
The landlords lived in the old fashioned way, did nothing, led an empty lifestyle. They cared only about their well-being, had “a whole system of liqueurs” and, having gathered together, they talked “about haymaking, about wine, about the kennel, about their relatives.” They weren't interested in anything else. Unless talking about new people who appeared in their society, about whom they composed a lot of fables. The landowners, on the other hand, dreamed of giving their daughters in marriage profitably and literally caught suitors for them. So it was with Lensky: "All the daughters predicted their half-Russian neighbor."
The life of the peasantry in the novel is shown rather sparingly. Pushkin only in a few words gives an accurate and complete characterization of the cruelty of the landlords. So, Larina "shaved the foreheads" of the guilty peasants, "she beat the maids when she was angry." She was greedy and forced the girls to sing while picking berries, “so that the master’s berry is not secretly eaten by the evil lips.”
When Yevgeny, having arrived in the village, “replaced the yoke ... of the old dues with a light one,” then “his prudent neighbor pouted in his corner, seeing this as a terrible harm.”
The work depicts the life of the capital's aristocratic society. In the novel, as in an encyclopedia, you can learn everything about the era, how they dressed, what was in fashion, the menu of prestigious restaurants. We can also find out what was going on in the theaters of that era.
The life of the nobility is a continuous holiday. Their main occupation is empty chatter, blind imitation of everything foreign, gossip that spreads at an instantaneous speed. They did not want to work, because "stubborn work was sickening to them." Pushkin writes that a person's fame depends on his financial situation. The author shows the monotony of the metropolitan society, empty interests, mental limitations. The color of the capital is “necessary borders”, “for all angry gentlemen”, “dictators”, “seemingly evil ladies” and “non-smiling girls”.
Everything in them is so pale, indifferent;
They slander even boringly;
In the barren dryness of speeches,
Questions, gossip and news
Thoughts will not flash for a whole day,
Though by chance, even at random ...
The characterization of the nobles given by the poet shows that they had only one goal in front of them - to achieve fame and rank. Pushkin condemns such people. He makes fun of their way of life.
The poet shows us various pictures of Russian life, depicts before us the fate of different people, draws the types of representatives of the noble society characteristic of the era - in a word, depicts reality as it really is.
Truthfulness is one of the main qualities of the novel "Eugene Onegin". In it A.S. Pushkin reflected the reality of the 19th century: the habits of people, their actions, secular society itself. That is why "Eugene Onegin" is an invaluable work in historical and literary terms.
The great critic Belinsky called this novel "an encyclopedia of Russian life." And indeed it is. It is in this work that A.S. Pushkin, one of the first poets, decided to show readers society in the form in which it was in the epoch of the 19th century. Secular society in "Eugene Onegin" is shown not from the best side. In this society, it was enough to dress smartly, do your hair. And then everyone began to consider you a secular person. This happened with the main character of the novel, Onegin. He was bored with social life, and the society that surrounded him oppressed the hero. This life killed all feelings in the main character, and it was impossible for him to escape anywhere from the mood that was in his soul. Onegin is opposed to most people of this era, and secular society does not accept him. Eugene is forced to leave. He comes to the village. From this moment on, we are transferred to a completely different environment, where everything was much calmer than in the city. The main character was not accepted here either, since he was very different from the majority of the village population. But even here Onegin managed to find people who understood him. Here he found a devoted friend Lensky, the true love of Tatyana Larina. Tatyana grew up as a closed girl, but with a huge imagination, her soul was incessantly full of many different feelings:
One with a dangerous book wanders,
She seeks and finds in her
Your secret heat, your dreams...
Having given her heart to Onegin, Tatyana could no longer entrust her secret to anyone else, even her closest relatives. And not only because she was a secretive girl, but also because the society around her could never understand her. This situation occurs quite often at the present time. The surrounding society does not allow a person to develop individually: it either adjusts it in its own way, or rejects it. The person becomes withdrawn, afraid to trust anyone.
This work is of great historical significance. Studying "Eugene Onegin", the reader will learn what life was like for people, their activities, habits, holidays, Pushkin describes in detail the festive atmosphere of Tatyana Larina's name day, guests who seemed to her to be completely boring people, dances:
Monotonous and insane
Like a whirlwind of young life,
The waltz whirl is whirling noisily;
The couple flashes by the couple.
Probably the most striking example of the insensitivity of people, their disrespect for others was the death of Lensky. Lensky was an unusual, sincere person, but who, unfortunately, was not very noticed even during his lifetime, and after his death they forgot all about him:
But now ... the monument is dull
Forgotten. To him the usual trace
Stalled. There is no wreath on the branch;
One under him, gray-haired and frail,
The shepherd still sings...
Apparently, Lensky was born too early, because society would never have been able to rise to his level.
Moscow! .. Tatyana turned from a provincial girl into a noble lady, having married a general. And in appearance she was no different from other women. She was able to achieve this without much effort. Her life has changed dramatically ... But was she happy? ..
The novel "Eugene Onegin" is of great importance for the Russian people. And as Belinsky said: “To evaluate such a work is to evaluate the poet himself in its entirety. creative activity". And although two centuries have passed, the topics raised in "Eugene Onegin" remain relevant today.
