This poetic novel combines romanticism and realism, and describes the dissolute and empty life of onegin, a young Russian aristocrat, including the love stories of onegin, the poet Lenski and tatyana.
Later generations thought that onegin was an "unnecessary person" of that era, and he was a bohemian person. Although he is smart and talented and charming in appearance, he is selfish and empty inside.
Others object to this view, saying that Pushkin intended to portray onegin as a figure in The Decemberists, but later gave up because of the tyrannical rule of the Russian czar.
Onegin rejected the traditional norms of high society. This lovely young man of noble birth was well-educated and clever since childhood, although he was "knowledgeable, but unfortunately he was a heretic."
As the poet said, "onegin has an incurable disease ... and has long been disheartened about life." Pushkin praised onegin's rejection of society from the bottom of his heart, calling onegin "superior in character", "peaceful in mind and brilliant in wisdom".
Onegin rejected tatyana's courtship. Pushkin actually injected Russian soul into onegin's rebellious character. Before the appearance of tatyana, all onegin's behaviors and feelings did not jump out of the "Childe Hallor" model written by British poet Byron.
In contrast, Byronic heroes can travel around the world, proudly independent and openly express their strong rebellious intentions, while onegin-style Russian "superfluous people" can only spend boring years in the dead of winter on the ruins of autocracy and discuss "ancient customs" with one or two close friends.
Although onegin is arrogant and different everywhere, his hopes are only vague and impulsive fantasies. There is no real pursuit of purpose and clear rebel strategy. For tatyana, who longs for sincere love, wandering onegin can't provide her with passion and spiritual needs.
Onegin's refusal just shows that he has a sense of morality and compassion, and his thoughts and feelings are far higher than those of other aristocratic youths around him. Accustomed to the affectation of the upper class, in the face of Tatyana's sincere and pure love, he deeply knows that he can't give Tatyana the pure love she craves, and at the same time thinks that Tatyana can't satisfy her desired ideal.
Don't talk about floating clouds with goals and no end. Although arrogant and indifferent, I still have to take tatyana seriously in the face of sincerity and purity.
Finally, tatyana refused. Tatyana's rejection of onegin's courtship is the climax of the poem, so Pushkin carefully paves the way for the personality changes of the two protagonists. I. Major changes in onegin. Onegin "went out" and came back.
"When I got off the boat, I broke into the ballroom." The poet made a frank satire on his hero's rebellious will, suggesting that onegin had stopped making progress in more and wider life experiences, almost abandoned himself, and even prepared to abandon himself.
Then came the change of tatyana, and onegin's indifferent refusal shattered her fantasy and fanaticism. After onegin left, tatyana visited onegin's study, where tatyana discovered onegin's unknown painful mind. She was surprised to find what thoughts and feelings onegin appreciated, what things he was surprised at and what he agreed with.
Who knows what kind of struggle and pain Tatyana experienced when she entered the upper class and showed elegant, extraordinary and graceful manners?
Onegin is madly in love with tatyana. First, when all hopes were dashed, love became the last straw to crush onegin. Second, because Tatyana studied both inside and outside, she became a noble and charming lady; Thirdly, due to onegin's inner emptiness at this time, pursuing ladies is also his aristocratic habit.
When onegin and Lenski met in the countryside, they were very speculative. They are both recipients of new ideas and rebels of that era. They are called "two eccentrics" by their neighbors.
At first, we felt lonely and bored, but gradually we got to know each other and started talking. Later, they invited each other to each other's home almost every day. If they don't meet for a day, they will be unhappy and have nothing to do with each other. "Let's appreciate each other, two new youths in society at that time.
But onegin was angry with Juliansky because he saw tatyana's pain and tears at Lalin's house, so he took revenge.
Onegin embodies the selfishness of the aristocratic class, and it is this selfishness that makes him jealous when he is slightly unhappy, and he takes revenge.
Before the duel, onegin received a letter of challenge from Lenski. He felt guilty at that time and wanted to apologize and comfort Lenski, thus solving a duel. However, due to the presence of witness Zareschi, he couldn't let go of his vanity, so he started a duel with Lenski.
The poet said innocently, "Why not turn anger into laughter, make up as before, then shake hands and make peace and leave amicably?" ? But shame is the most taboo in high society: hypocritical and shameful killing habits!
However, nothing has changed. Onegin killed Lenski, and after being condemned by his conscience, he chose to run away from home. The poet condemned the ugly social duel custom and painfully found that even the strongest friendship disappeared after being humiliated.
The seemingly solid friendship turned to ashes on a small matter, which made us wonder what was solid in the society at that time.
