The image of Tatyana before meeting with Onegin. The ideal image of the heroine in the novel "Eugene Onegin"

Tatyana appears in chapter II of the novel. The choice of the heroine's name and the author's thinking about this, as it were, indicate a distinctive feature compared to other characters:

Her sister's name was Tatyana...
Gentle pages of a novel
For the first time with such a name
We will sanctify.

In these lines, the author introduces Tatyana to the reader for the first time. We are presented with the image of a simple provincial girl with very peculiar features. Tatyana is “wild, sad, silent”, “in her own family she seemed like a stranger girl”, “often she sat silently by the window all day long”. She did not play with her sister Olga's friends, "she was bored with their sonorous laughter and the noise of their windy joys." Larina grows thoughtful and lonely. The environment to which parents, relatives, guests belong, i.e. the society of local nobles is something alien to her, which has almost no effect on Tatyana. Other aspects of her being have a stronger influence on the formation of her personality. She is captivated by "terrible stories in the winter in the darkness of nights", i.e. fairy tales of a serf nanny. She loves nature, reads the novels of Richardson and Rousseau, which educate her sensitivity, develop her imagination.

The appearance of Onegin, who immediately struck Tatyana with his peculiarity, dissimilarity with others whom she saw around, leads to the fact that love flares up in Tatyana.
The girl in love again turns to books: after all, she has no one to trust her secret, no one to talk to.
Sincere and strong love involuntarily takes on the character of those passionate and strong feelings that the loving and suffering heroines of the books read are endowed with.
So, Tatyana was strongly influenced by the sentimental West, but the European novel. But this, of course, was not the main factor in the development of Tatyana.

A lot to understand the image of Tatyana is given by the episode of Tatyana's conversation with the nanny and the letter to Onegin. This whole scene - one of the best in the novel - is something amazing, beautiful, whole.

The nature of Tatyana's frank conversation with the old nanny is such that we see a great intimacy between them. The image of Filipyevna bears the beginnings of folk wisdom, her words reflect the experience of a long and difficult life of a simple Russian woman. The story is short and simple, but it contains imagery, expressiveness, purity and power of thought and a truly folk language. And we vividly imagine Tatyana in her room at night, and

On the bench
With a scarf on his gray head,
Before the young heroine
An old woman in a long jacket.

We begin to understand how much the nanny meant to Tatyana, the closeness to her; we note those purely Russian influences that will occupy the main place in the formation of Tatyana.
Tatyana perfectly understands the common language of the nanny, for her this language is her mother tongue. Her speech is figurative and at the same time clear, there are also elements of folk vernacular in it: “I feel sick”, “what needs me”, “let him order” ... etc.
Tatyana's letter to Onegin is a desperate act, but it is completely alien to the environment of a young girl. Larina was guided only by feeling, but not by reason. The love letter does not contain coquetry, antics - Tatyana writes frankly, as her heart tells her.

I am writing to you - what more?
What else can I say?

And following these simple and touching words, in which trembling and restrained excitement are heard, Tatyana, with increasing delight, with excitement already openly pouring out in the lines of the letter, reveals this “trusting soul” to Onegin. The central part of the letter is the image of Onegin, as he appeared to Tatyana in her imagination inspired by love. The end of the letter is as sincere as the beginning. The girl is fully aware of her actions:

I'm cumming! Scary to read...
But your honor is my guarantee,
I freeze with shame and fear ...
And I boldly entrust myself to her ...

The writing scene is over. Tatyana is waiting for an answer. Her state, immersion in the feeling that had taken possession of her, was noted in scanty details:
The second meeting with Onegin and his cold "rebuke". But Tatyana does not stop loving.

Love crazy suffering
Don't stop worrying
Young soul...

Chapter V opens with a landscape of a belated but suddenly come winter. It is noteworthy that a purely Russian landscape of a winter estate and a village is given through Tatiana's perception of it.

Waking up early
Trees in winter silver
Tatyana saw through the window
Forty merry in the yard
Whitewashed yard in the morning,
And softly padded mountains

And in direct connection with the pictures of native nature, the author's statement of the national, Russian appearance of the heroine is expressed:

Tatyana (Russian soul,
With her cold beauty
I don't know why.)
I loved Russian winter...

Poetic pictures of Christmas divination also connect Tatyana with the Russian, national, folk origin.
"... Tatyana, on the advice of the nanny" tells fortunes at night in the bath.
Russian national features are more and more clearly put forward in the development of the image of Tatiana.

In the depiction of Tatiana, Pushkin completely renounces all irony, and in this sense, Tatiana is the only character in the novel, in relation to whom, from the moment of its appearance to the end, we feel only the love and respect of the author. The poet more than once calls Tatyana "dear", declares: "I love Tatyana my dear so much."
Tatyana's dream is a fantastic combination of motifs from the nanny's fairy tales, pictures that arose in the game of Tatyana's imagination, but at the same time - and real life impressions. The artistic meaning of the dream in the story about Tatyana is an expression of the heroine's state of mind, her thoughts about Onegin (he is strong in her dream, but also formidable, dangerous, terrible), and at the same time - a premonition of future misfortunes.

All subsequent tragedies: the death of Lensky, the departure of Yevgeny, the imminent marriage of her sister - deeply touched Tatyana's heart. The impressions gained from reading books are replenished by the harsh lessons of life. Gradually, Tatyana gains life experience and seriously thinks about her fate. The image of Tatyana is enriched in the course of events, but by nature Tatyana is still the same, and her “fiery and tender heart” is still given over to the feeling that has taken possession of her once and for all.
Visiting Onegin's house, Tatyana "with a greedy soul" indulges in reading. Byron's poems and novels are added to the previously read sentimental novels.

Reading Onegin's books is a new step in Tatyana's development. She does not freely compare what she knows about Onegin with what she learns from books. A whole swarm of new thoughts, assumptions. In the last stanzas of Chapter VII, Tatyana is in Moscow society. She "... is not well at a housewarming party", she seems strange to the young ladies of the Moscow noble circle, she is still restrained, silent
At the end of the work, Tatyana appears to us as a lady of secular society, but Pushkin clearly distinguishes her from the circle into which her fate has led. Drawing her appearance at a social event, the poet simultaneously emphasizes Tatyana's aristocracy, in Pushkin's high sense of the word, and her simplicity.

She was slow
Without these little antics
Not cold, not talkative
No imitations...
Without an arrogant look for everyone,
Everything is quiet, it was just in her ...

Episodes of meetings with Onegin after many years of separation emphasize Tatyana's complete self-control. Larina turned into a secular lady, into an “indifferent princess”, “an impregnable goddess of the luxurious, regal Neva”. But her worldview has not changed, her principles and foundations have remained the same. It was these principles that prevailed over Tatyana's innermost feeling: over her love for Eugene. The whole essence of Larina's character is revealed in her last monologue:

...You must,
I know that there is in your heart
And pride and direct honor ...
I ask you to leave me;
And pride and direct honor ...

In our imagination, the image of Tatyana will forever remain something high, unshakable, pure and beautiful.
We also understand all the poet's love for his creation, when in the last stanza of the novel, saying goodbye to the heroes, he recalls "Tatiana's dear ideal."

Belinsky called the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" "the most sincere work" of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. And the author himself considered this novel to be his best creation. Pushkin worked on it with great enthusiasm, giving all his soul, all himself to creativity. And, of course, the images of the main characters of the novel are very close to the author. In each of them, he reflected some features inherent in himself. Images from the novel became almost familiar to Pushkin.

The image of Tatyana is closest to the author, who, in essence, is the ideal of a Russian woman for Pushkin. This is how he imagined a true Russian woman - sincere, fiery, trusting and, at the same time, possessing spiritual nobility, a sense of duty and a strong character.

In the portrait of Tatyana, Pushkin does not give an external appearance, but rather her inner portrait: "... Wild, sad, silent ...". This is an atypical image that attracts not with its beauty, but with its inner world.

Pushkin emphasizes the difference between Tatyana and Olga:

Nor the beauty of his sister,

Nor the freshness of her ruddy

She would not attract the eyes, - he says about Tatyana and then repeats more than once that Tatyana is ugly. But the image of this meek, thoughtful girl attracts the reader and the author himself with its charm and unusualness.

In the second chapter of the novel, we meet a girl whose favorite circle of life is nature, books, the village world with stories and tales of a nurse, with her warmth and cordiality.

Thought, her friend

From the most lullaby days

Rural Leisure Current

Decorated her with dreams.

Reading the novel, you can see that in those stanzas where Tatyana is discussed, there is always a description of nature. It is not for nothing that Pushkin conveys Tatyana's state of mind many times through images of nature; by this he emphasizes the deep connection that exists between a village girl and nature. For example, after Onegin’s harsh sermon, “youngness fades to sweet Tanya: this is how the shadow of a barely born day dresses the storm.”

Tatyana's farewell to her native places, native fields, meadows is accompanied by a tragic description of autumn: "Nature is quivering, pale, Like a victim magnificently removed." The whole inner world of Tanya is in tune with nature, with all its changes. Such closeness is one of the signs of a deep connection with the people, which Pushkin greatly appreciated and respected. The children's song, consoling Tanya, affection for "Filipovna gray-haired", fortune-telling - all this again tells us about Tanya's living connection with the elements of the people.

Tatyana (Russian soul,

I don't know why.)

With her cold beauty

I loved the Russian winter.

Loneliness, alienation from others, gullibility and naivety allow the "tender dreamer" to present Onegin as the hero of the novel, to appropriate "someone else's delight", "someone else's sadness".

But, seeing soon that the hero of her dreams is not at all what she imagined him to be, she tries to understand Onegin. The girl writes an ardent, passionate letter to Onegin and receives a harsh sermon in response. But this coldness of Eugene does not kill Tanya's love, the "strict conversation" in the garden only revealed to Tanya Onegin's cruelty, his ability to mercilessly respond to sincere feelings. Probably, the birth of “that indifferent princess” that so struck Onegin later begins already here. But, meanwhile, even the death of Lensky did not destroy the deep feeling that Tatiana had for Onegin:

And in the cruel loneliness

Her passion burns stronger

And about distant Onegin

Her heart speaks louder.

Onegin left, and, it seems, forever. But Tatyana, before visiting his house, continues to refuse when others woo her. Only after visiting the “young cell”, seeing how and how Eugene lived, she agrees to go to the “bride market” in Moscow, because she begins to suspect something terrible for herself and for her love:

What is he? Is it an imitation?

An insignificant ghost, or else -

Muscovite in Harold's raincoat?

Alien whims interpretation,

Words fashionable lexicon?

Isn't he a parody?

Although Evgeny's inner world is not limited to the books he has read, Tanya does not understand this and, drawing erroneous conclusions, is disappointed in love and in her hero. Now she faces a boring road to Moscow and the noisy bustle of the capital.

In the "county young lady" Tatyana, "everything is outside, everything is free." In the eighth chapter, we meet the "indifferent princess" "legislator of the hall." The former Tanya, in whom "everything was quiet, everything is simple," has now become a model of "impeccable taste", a "true ingot" of nobility and sophistication.

But it cannot be said that now she is really an “indifferent princess”, incapable of experiencing sincere feelings, and that there is no trace of the former naive and timid Tanya. There are feelings, but now they are well and firmly hidden. And that “careless charm” of Tatyana is a mask that she wears with art and naturalness. Light has made its own adjustments, but only external ones, Tatyana's soul has remained the same. That gullible girl still lives in her, loving the "Russian winter", hills, forests, the village, ready to give "all this brilliance, and noise, and children for a shelf of books, for a wild garden ...". Now the impetuosity and recklessness of feelings has been replaced in her by self-control, which helps Tanya to endure the moment when the embarrassed, "awkward" Eugene is left alone with her. But still, Tatyana's main advantage is her spiritual nobility, her truly Russian character. Tatyana has a high sense of duty and dignity, which is why she found the strength to suppress her feelings and say to Onegin:

I love you (why lie?)

But I am given to another;

And I will be faithful to him forever.

Pushkin admired the image, so skillfully created by himself. He embodied in Tatyana the ideal of a real Russian woman.

The writer saw the wives of many Decembrists who, out of their love and sense of duty, went to Siberia for their husbands. This is how he endowed his heroine with such spiritual nobility. The image of Tatyana is the deepest and most serious in the novel. The height, spirituality, depth of Tatyana Larina allowed Belinsky to call her "genius nature."

"Eugene Onegin" - a novel in verse. If not the best, then one of the best works of the great Russian classic. A.S. Pushkin for the first time reveals Tatyana Larina, who is an ideal for him, which he gently, lovingly sings.

It is believed that the prototype of the heroine was a real woman who left after her husband exiled to Siberia.

The ideal image of the heroine in the novel "Eugene Onegin"

Pushkin calls his heroine a simple and at the same time very common name - Tatyana. Her character is sincere, folk, natural, but nevertheless she cannot be called a simpleton. The sincerity of the heroine is combined with the extraordinary depth of her soul.

She is a great lover of books, brought up on them and the stories of her nanny, different from her surroundings. Tatyana is not used to caressing with her parents and playing with other children, like all her peers. She appears before the readers as a girl somewhat removed from the whole society. For Pushkin, this is the ideal image of the heroine in the novel "Eugene Onegin".

She loves nature and lives according to its rhythms and laws, feeling her unity with her.
Public opinion is not so important for a girl. But she lives in a world of ideals, sincere sincerity, high spiritual morality and purity.

She likes more village life, closeness to nature, which she feels and loves. Then, having married, living in St. Petersburg and leading a secular life, she will longingly recall the life that she had in her beloved village.

A.S. Pushkin, "Eugene Onegin": heroes and their love

Pushkin describes in his novel two vivid images of the main characters. This is Tatyana Larina, Eugene Onegin, who are opposed to each other and at the same time attracted. The pure and sincere soul of the girl comes into contact with a young man who has already seen a lot in his lifetime and is disappointed in life. Onegin's spiritual emptiness and Larina's soul filled to the brim are dramatically revealed in the novel.

It would seem that love should work miracles, and a strong and sincerely in love Tatyana will definitely be able to change everything. Eugene Onegin, however, rejects her after her confession and leaves her completely at a loss. Was it love or passion? Tatyana, being a dreamy girl, fell in love not with a real person, but with an image she invented, which she painted in her dreams.

The young man, who attracted her with his detachment and mystery, with those features that were inherent in herself, nevertheless turned out to be not the same romantic hero from her dreams and dreams. He turned out to be empty, disappointed and even corrupted by the secular life of the capital. But, despite this, noble nobility lived deep in him, and Tatyana did not become deceived. Eugene Onegin left, leaving the girl in complete disarray.

He had a chance to change and find the soulfulness that he once had. But this was too complicated and incomprehensible for him, and the young man, or "young old man," as critics sometimes called him, decided to simply retire and continue his usual way of life.

Much later, Tatiana Larina and Eugene Onegin would meet in St. Petersburg. And then the fire of passion will burn not her, but Onegin. Tatyana, in turn, becoming a high society lady, will not lose her ability to love. However, this time she will already reject Eugene - not in order to take revenge or follow the norms accepted in society.

She loves him, no matter what, and does not hide it from him. But she continues to be guided in life by her high spiritual and moral principles and cannot break the vow given to her husband destined by fate. At the same time, she understands that she is not driven by Onegin, but by passion and selfish pride. How else can she answer? Decide on an extramarital affair? By doing so, she would not only defile her love, but also betray herself, sacrificing her inner rules of life.

V.G. Belinsky about Tatyana

Tatyana, in his perception, is a deep and strong woman, without the suffering contradictions of complex souls, which sometimes they themselves are unable to understand. It is whole, unified and pure nature. And it doesn’t matter who she is today: a secular lady or a simple girl from the village. Wherever she is, a high spiritual integrity does not leave her, and no matter what happens to her and happens, she is guided by the values ​​\u200b\u200bliving inside her.

Tatiana and Olga

Tatyana - the ideal image of the heroine in the novel "Eugene Onegin", is the complete opposite of her sister Olga. The latter is a windy girl with a careless and narrow-minded disposition. Her image in its entirety is revealed in a dismissive attitude towards the young man who fell in love with her - Lensky, who, because of her frivolous behavior, challenges Onegin to a duel and dies there.
Tatyana cannot be spiritually friendly with her windy sister, she needs depth and meaningfulness of her own and other people's thoughts and actions, which Olga cannot give her.

nature image

Tatyana is able to contemplate beauty, feel harmony, understand the language of nature and love the world around her. She loves to meet the sunrise and think about the moon, walk through the fields and meadows, admire the beautiful natural landscapes, especially in winter, and even

Its image is close to pagan, when people lived in unity with the surrounding world, with nature, without separating themselves from it and finding in nature all the answers to their questions. Tatyana believes in superstitions, omens, divination and dreams. And this belief further strengthens her connection with nature.

social image

The social life of the girl weighs. Her deep inner nature opposes falsehood, but she is forced to come to terms with it and live as fate ordered her. By the end of the novel, the naive village girl has learned to put on a secular cold mask and walk in it, like all the people around. But, despite this, she does not lose her essence and spiritual qualities.

Favorite quotes

Those who read, taught and studied at school the novel "Eugene Onegin", quotes from it can be remembered all their lives. Thanks to the wonderful and light syllable of the great Russian poet, the poems are remembered quickly and for a long time: “Wild, sad, silent, like a timid deer in the forest ...”

In the novel "Eugene Onegin" quotes characterizing the image of Tatiana, vividly and simply depicting the Russian, remaining in the memory of young people, help in comprehending the mysterious Russian soul and a deeper understanding of themselves.

In the novel "Eugene Onegin" Pushkin managed to present all the diversity of the life of contemporary Russia, portray Russian society "in one of the most interesting moments of its development", create typical images of Onegin and Lensky, in whose person the "main, that is, the male side" of this society was presented. society. “But the feat of our poet is almost higher in that he was the first to reproduce, in the person of Tatyana, a Russian woman,” wrote Belinsky.

Tatyana Larina is the first realistic female image in Russian literature. The heroine's worldview, her character, her mental make-up - all this is revealed in the novel in great detail, her behavior is psychologically motivated. But at the same time, Tatyana is the poet's "sweet ideal", the "novel" embodiment of his dream of a certain type of woman. And the poet himself often talks about this on the pages of the novel: “Tatyana's letter is in front of me; I sacredly protect him ... "," Forgive me: I love Tatyana my dear so much! Moreover, the attitude of the poet himself was embodied to a certain extent in the personality of the heroine.

Readers immediately felt these author's accents. Dostoevsky, for example, considered Tatyana, and not Onegin, the main character of the novel. And the opinion of the writer is quite reasonable. This is a whole, uncommon, exceptional nature, with a truly Russian soul, with a strong character and spirit.

Her character remains unchanged throughout the novel. In various life circumstances, Tatyana's spiritual and intellectual outlook expands, she gains experience, knowledge of human nature, new habits and manners characteristic of a different age, but her inner world does not change. “The portrait of her in childhood, so masterfully painted by the poet, is only developed, but not changed,” wrote V. G. Belinsky:

Dika, sad, silent,

Like a forest doe is timid,

She is in her family

Seemed like a stranger girl ...

A child by herself, in a crowd of children

Didn't want to play and jump

And often all day alone

She sat silently by the window.

Tatyana grew up as a thoughtful and impressionable girl, she did not like noisy children's games, fun entertainment, she was not interested in dolls and needlework. She liked to daydream alone or listen to her nurse's stories. Tatyana's only friends were fields and forests, meadows and groves.

Characteristically, when describing village life, Pushkin does not depict any of the “provincial heroes” against the backdrop of nature. Habit, "prose of life", preoccupation with household chores, low spiritual demands - all this left its mark on their perception: local landowners simply do not notice the surrounding beauty, just as Olga or old Larina does not notice it,

But Tatyana is not like that, her nature is deep and poetic - she is given to see the beauty of the world around her, it is given to understand the "secret language of nature", it is given to love God's light. She loves to meet the “dawn sunrise”, thoughts are carried away to the twinkling moon, walk alone among the fields and hills. But especially Tatyana loves winter:

Tatyana (Russian soul.

I don't know why.)

With her cold beauty

I loved Russian winter

Frost in the sun on a frosty day,

And the sleigh, and the late dawn

Shine of pink snows,

And the darkness of Epiphany evenings.

The heroine thus introduces the motif of winter, cold, ice into the narrative. And then winter landscapes often accompany Tatyana. Here she is telling fortunes on a clear frosty night at baptism. In a dream, she walks “in a snowy meadow”, sees “immovable pines”, covered with tufts of snow, bushes, rapids covered by a snowstorm. Before leaving for Moscow, Tatyana is "terrified of the winter journey." V. M. Markovich notes that the “winter” motive here is “directly close to that harsh and mysterious sense of proportion, law, fate, which made Tatyana reject Onegin’s love.”

The deep connection of the heroine with nature is preserved throughout the story. Tatyana lives according to the laws of nature, in full harmony with her natural rhythms: “The time has come, she fell in love. Thus, the fallen grain of Spring is revived by fire into the ground. And her communication with the nanny, faith in the "traditions of the common folk antiquity", dreams, fortune-telling, signs and superstitions - all this only strengthens this mysterious connection.

Tatyana's attitude to nature is akin to ancient paganism, in the heroine the memory of her distant ancestors, the memory of the family, seems to come to life. “Tatyana is all native, all from the Russian land, from Russian nature, mysterious, dark and deep, like a Russian fairy tale ... Her soul is simple, like the soul of the Russian people. Tatyana from that twilight, ancient world where the Firebird, Ivan Tsarevich, Baba Yaga were born ... ”- wrote D. Merezhkovsky.

And this “call of the past” is expressed, among other things, in the inextricable connection of the heroine with her family, despite the fact that there she “seemed like a stranger girl”. Pushkin depicts Tatyana against the background of her family's life history, which acquires an extremely important meaning in the context of understanding the fate of the heroine.

In her life story, Tatyana, not wanting this, repeats the fate of her mother, who was taken to the crown, "without asking her advice", while she "sighed for another, Whom in her heart and mind she liked much more ...". Here Pushkin seems to anticipate Tatyana's fate with a philosophical remark: "The habit has been given to us from above: It is a substitute for happiness." It may be objected to us that Tatyana is deprived of a spiritual connection with her family (“She seemed like a stranger in her own family”). However, this does not mean that there is no inner, deep connection, that same natural connection that is the very essence of the heroine's nature.

In addition, Tatyana was raised by a nanny from childhood, and here we can no longer talk about the absence of a spiritual connection. It is to the nanny that the heroine confides her heartfelt secret, handing over a letter for Onegin. She sadly recalls her nanny in St. Petersburg. But what is the fate of Filipyevna? The same marriage without love:

“But how did you get married, nanny?” —

So, apparently, God ordered. My Vanya

Younger than me, my light,

And I was thirteen years old.

For two weeks the matchmaker went

To my family, and finally

Father blessed me.

I cried bitterly from fear

They untwisted my braid with weeping,

Yes, with singing they led to the church.

Of course, the peasant girl here is deprived of freedom of choice, unlike Tatyana. But the very situation of marriage, the perception of it, are repeated in the fate of Tatyana. Nyanino “So, apparently, God ordered” becomes Tatyanin “But I am given to another; I will be faithful to him forever.

In shaping the inner world of the heroine, a fashionable passion for sentimental and romantic novels also played an important role. Her very love for Onegin manifests itself "in a bookish way", she appropriates "someone else's delight, someone else's sadness." Familiar men were uninteresting to Tatyana: they "represented so little food to her exalted ... imagination." Onegin was a new man in the "village wilderness". His secrecy, secular manners, aristocracy, indifferent, bored look - all this could not leave Tatyana indifferent. “There are beings whose fantasy has much more influence on the heart than how people think about it,” wrote Belinsky. Not knowing Onegin, Tatyana presents him in the images of literary heroes well known to her: Malek-Adel, de Dinar and Werther. In essence, the heroine loves not a living person, but an image created by her “rebellious imagination”.

However, gradually she begins to discover the inner world of Onegin. After his stern sermon, Tatyana remains at a loss, offended and bewildered. She probably interprets everything she hears in her own way, understanding only that her love was rejected. And only after visiting the "fashion cell" of the hero, looking into his books, which store the "mark of a sharp fingernail", Tatyana begins to comprehend Onegin's perception of life, people, fate. However, its discovery does not speak in favor of the chosen one:

What is he? Is it an imitation

An insignificant ghost, or else

Muscovite in Harold's cloak,

Alien whims interpretation,

Full lexicon of fashionable words?..

Isn't he a parody?

Here, the difference in worldviews of the characters is especially clearly exposed. If Tatyana thinks and feels in line with the Russian Orthodox tradition, Russian patriarchy, patriotism, then Onegin's inner world was formed under the influence of Western European culture. As V. Nepomniachtchi notes, Evgeny’s office is a fashionable cell, where instead of icons there is a portrait of Lord Byron, on the table there is a small statue of Napoleon, the invader, conqueror of Russia, Onegin’s books undermine the foundation of the foundations - faith in the Divine principle in man. Of course, Tatyana was amazed, having discovered for herself not only the unfamiliar world of someone else's consciousness, but also a world that was deeply alien to her, hostile at its core.

Probably, the ill-fated duel, the outcome of which was the death of Lensky, did not leave her indifferent. A completely different, non-bookish image of Onegin formed in her mind. Confirmation of this is the second explanation of the heroes in St. Petersburg. Tatyana does not believe in the sincerity of Eugene's feelings, his persecution offends her dignity. Onegin's love does not leave her indifferent, but now she cannot answer his feelings. She got married and devoted herself entirely to her husband and family. And an affair with Onegin in this new situation is impossible for her:

I love you (why lie?),
But I am given to another;
I will forever be faithful to him ...

A lot of things were reflected in this choice of the heroine. This is the integrity of her nature, which does not allow lies and deceptions; and the clarity of moral ideas, which excludes the very possibility of causing grief to an innocent person (husband), thoughtlessly disgracing him; and book-romantic ideals; and faith in Fate, in the Providence of God, implying Christian humility; and the laws of popular morality, with its uniqueness of decisions; and unconscious repetition of the fate of mother and nanny.

However, in the impossibility of the unity of the heroes, Pushkin also has a deep, symbolic subtext. Onegin is the hero of "culture", of civilization (moreover, of Western European culture, alien to Russian people at its very core). Tatyana is a child of nature, embodying the very essence of the Russian soul. Nature and culture are incompatible in the novel—they are tragically separated.

Dostoevsky believed that Onegin now loves in Tatyana “only his new fantasy. ... He loves fantasy, but he is a fantasy himself. After all, if she goes after him, then tomorrow he will be disappointed and look at his passion mockingly. It has no soil, it is a blade of grass carried by the wind. She [Tatiana] is not like that at all: she, both in despair and in the suffering consciousness that her life has perished, still has something solid and unshakable on which her soul rests. These are her childhood memories, memories of her homeland, the rural wilderness, in which her humble, pure life began ... "

Thus, in the novel "Eugene Onegin" Pushkin presents us with "the apotheosis of the Russian woman." Tatyana amazes us with the depth of her nature, originality, "rebellious imagination", "living mind and will." This is a solid, strong personality, able to rise above the stereotypical thinking of any social circle, intuitively feeling the moral truth.

Tatyana in the novel in verse by A.S. Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" is truly the ideal of a woman in the eyes of the author himself. She is honest and wise, capable of an ardent feeling and nobility and devotion. This is one of the highest and most poetic female images in Russian literature.

At the beginning of the novel, Tatyana Larina is a romantic and sincere girl who loves solitude and seems like a stranger in her family:

Dika, sad, silent,
Like a forest doe is timid,
She is in her family
Seemed like a stranger girl.

Of course, in the Larin family, where serious and deep feelings are not honored, no one understood Tanya. Her father is unable to understand her enthusiasm for reading, and her mother herself did not read anything, but heard about books from her cousin and loved them in absentia, at a distance.

Tatyana grew up and, in fact, like a stranger to Larin. No wonder she writes to Onegin: "No one understands me." She is thoughtful, reads a lot, partly romance novels and shaped her idea of ​​love. But real love is far from always similar to love stories from books, and men from novels are extremely rare in life. Tatyana seems to live in her own imaginary world, talking about fashion is alien to her, playing with her sister and friends is completely uninteresting to her:

She was bored and sonorous laughter,
And the noise of their windy pleasures ...

Tatyana has her own idea of ​​an ideal world, of a beloved man, who, of course, should look like a hero from her favorite novels. Therefore, she imagines herself to be like the heroine of Rousseau or Richardson:

Now with what attention is she
Reading a sweet novel
With what lively charm
Drinking seductive deception!

Having met Onegin, the naive girl saw in him her hero, whom she had been waiting for so long:

And waited ... Eyes opened;
She said it's him!

Tatyana falls in love with Onegin from the first minutes and cannot think of anything but him:

Everything is full of them; all the maiden is cute
Incessantly magical power
Says about him.

Onegin in Tatyana's thoughts has little in common with a real man: he appears to a girl in love as either an angel, or a demon, or Grandison. Tatyana is fascinated by Eugene, but she herself “painted” his image for herself, in many ways anticipating events and idealizing her lover:

Tatyana loves not jokingly
And surrender unconditionally
Love like a sweet child.

Tatyana is a romantic and naive girl with no experience in love affairs. She is not one of those women who know how to flirt and flirt with men, and she takes the object of her love with all seriousness. In her letter to Onegin, she honestly admits her feelings for him, which speaks not only of her sincerity, but also of her inexperience. She did not know how to hypocrite and hide her feelings, did not want to intrigue and deceive, in the lines of this letter she bared her soul, confessing to Onegin her deep and true love:

Another! .. No, no one in the world
I wouldn't give my heart!
That is the predestined council in the highest ...
That is the will of heaven: I am yours;
My whole life has been a pledge
Faithful goodbye to you;
I know you were sent to me by God
Until the grave you are my keeper ...

Tatyana "entrusts" her fate into the hands of Onegin, not realizing what kind of person he is. She expects too much from him, her love is too romantic, too sublime, the image of Onegin, which she created in her imagination, does not correspond much to reality.

Nevertheless, Tatyana adequately accepts Onegin's refusal, she silently and attentively listens to him, without appealing to his pity and not begging for reciprocal feelings. Tatyana speaks about her love only to the nanny, none of her family knows about her feelings for Onegin anymore. By her behavior, Tatyana evokes respect from readers, she behaves with restraint and decentness, does not hold a grudge against Onegin, does not accuse him of unrequited feelings.

The murder of Lensky and the departure of Onegin deeply wound the girl's heart, but she does not lose herself. During long walks, she reaches the Onegin estate, visits the library of the deserted house and finally reads those books that Evgeny read - of course, not romance novels. Tatyana begins to understand the one who forever settled in her heart: “Isn’t he a parody?”

At the request of the family, Tatyana marries an "important general", because without Onegin "everyone was equal to her." But her conscience does not allow her to become a bad wife, and she tries to match the status of her husband, especially since her beloved man gave her fair advice: "Learn to rule yourself." It is precisely such a famous socialite, impregnable princess, that Onegin sees her upon returning from her voluntary exile.

However, even now her image in the work remains the image of a beautiful and worthy girl who knows how to be faithful to her man. At the end of the novel, Tatyana opens up to Onegin from the other side: as a strong and majestic woman who knows how to "rule herself", which he himself taught her at one time. Now Tatyana does not follow her feelings, she restrains her ardor, remaining faithful to her husband.
