Conclusion on the 4th chapter of Eugene Onegin. Analysis of "Eugene Onegin" Pushkin


In Boldin, A. S. Pushkin's many years of work was almost completed - a novel in verse "Eugene Onegin", work on which, long and persistent, falls on the most flourishing period of his work. The poet called his work on the novel his literary "feat". "Eugene Onegin" is in all respects, both in time of writing, and in meaning, and in scale, Pushkin's central creation. It is in "Eugene Onegin" that Pushkin as a "poet of reality" grows to his full height.
The relationship between Onegin and Tatyana Larina constitutes the main storyline of the novel, however, in this personal love collision, a far-reaching content is visible upon closer reading - it is in it that the most complete answer to the question posed by the poet about the sad loneliness of the protagonist of the novel in his surroundings lies. reality, about the main reason for a special phenomenon - the so-called Russian melancholy of people like Onegin.
Eugene Onegin and Tatyana Larina differ from each other in absolutely everything, from education to the way of thinking and life perception. Onegin was brought up by a French tutor, and Tatyana grew up in a society of ordinary Russian people, under the supervision of a nanny - a woman whose prototype was the nanny of Pushkin himself. Onegin leads a secular life, usual for young people of his circle. He dresses fashionably, constantly rotates in the world, has lunch and dinner in restaurants with friends, and spends evenings in the theater. The hero early comprehends the "science of tender passion." In a secular society, love often turns from a sincere feeling coming from the heart into a sophisticated game, a confrontation between a man and a woman. This is exactly what happens to Eugene Onegin. While still quite young, he perceives relationships with the fair sex with skepticism, if not cynicism.
Tatyana leads a completely opposite lifestyle. She grew up in the countryside, in the bosom of nature, in an ordinary family of a landowner, where foreign innovations did not take root:
They had Russian pancakes at the oily Shrovetide; Twice a year they fasted They loved round swings, Songs are observant, round dance ...
Hence her spontaneity, captivating sincerity in expressing feelings. Pushkin draws the image of Tatyana with great warmth and love, embodying in her the best features of a Russian woman. The author emphasizes the absence of extraordinary, out of the ordinary features in Tatyana, but at the same time she is surprisingly poetic and attractive. The simplicity of the character of the heroine is emphasized by the author and the name chosen for her - Tatyana.
Tatyana Larina is distinguished by thoughtfulness, taciturnity, a desire for reflection and loneliness, she reads the novels of Richardson and Rousseau and believes them undividedly, since she does not find answers to her questions from those around her. In novels, Tatyana saw the characters she dreamed of meeting in life. There was no one next to her who could explain to this inexperienced girl that bookish feelings and experiences are most often very far from reality. Tatyana takes all these romantic descriptions at face value and dreams of experiencing the same feelings, meeting the same characters that were described in sentimental works.
The appearance of Onegin falls on prepared ground, Tatyana is ready for a strong feeling and presents Onegin as none other than the noble hero of her favorite novels and innermost dreams:
And in the heart the thought was planted; The time has come, she fell in love. So in the ground the fallen grain of Spring is revived by fire For a long time her imagination, Burning with bliss and longing, Alkalo of fatal food; For a long time, heartfelt languor Constricted her young breasts, The soul was waiting for someone, And waited - Eyes opened; She said it's him!
Tatyana's soul has long yearned for love, she is experiencing a new feeling for herself. In a night conversation with the nanny, Tatyana admits that she is in love, she decides to write a love letter to Onegin, but there is no answer from Yevgeny. Having received the news that Onegin has come to them, and seeing his carriage, Tatyana, in dismay, runs into the garden, where Onegin finds her. One can imagine the feelings of Tatyana, who decided to write a love confession to a man, disregarding the rules of decency, at a moment when her fate should be decided:
In her heart, full of torment, A dark dream keeps hope; She trembles and glows with heat
Having received Tatyana's letter, Onegin is touched by the sincere feelings of the girl, but nothing more. By this time, he had already developed a manner of communicating with women.
He no longer fell in love with beauties, but dragged himself along somehow; Refuse - instantly comforted; Will change - glad to have a rest, He searched for them without rapture, And left without regret.
In Tatyana's letter and in the upcoming meeting with her, he did not see anything unusual, exciting for himself, did not realize the storm of feelings that tormented the girl. Onegin does not try to prevaricate, to pretend, but immediately reads to Tatyana such a rebuke, after which she will not be able to recover for a long time. She listens to Onegin "slightly alive", all hope for happiness has been taken away from her.
Onegin does not want to notice the impression that his words have on the girl. His speech does not look like the speech of a young rake, but rather resembles the moralizing of an old man tempted by life:
Believe me - conscience is a guarantee, Marriage will be a torment for us, no matter how much I would not love you, Having got used to it, I will stop loving immediately; Start crying, your tears will not touch my heart, but will only piss him off
This is indeed the pure truth. Onegin does not want to spoil Tatyana's life, but, unwittingly, he breaks her heart. He justifies himself by the fact that he cannot regain the enthusiasm and joy of sensations, is not able to respond to a strong feeling. However, it is difficult to imagine a more terrible phrase “learn to rule yourself” in this situation.
Tatyana is rejected, her pride is defeated, because she was the first to confess her love to a man and was refused. At this moment, she still does not understand that Onegin is not worthy of her love. She herself attributed to him traits that he does not possess. She will understand all this later and, not wanting it, will take revenge on Onegin by rejecting him. But for this, time must pass, but for now “Tatiana fades, turns pale, goes out and is silent! / Nothing occupies her, her soul does not move. From that moment on, Tatyana is indifferent to everything. She does not contradict when her parents arrange an advantageous match for her with Prince Gremin. Tatyana Larina carries in her soul love for a person unworthy of her, like her cross. When Onegin meets her as a married woman and an ardent feeling awakens in him, Tatyana can no longer reciprocate: “After all, I have been given to another and will be faithful to him for a century,” but she vividly remembers that meeting in the garden that turned her whole soul upside down .

In Chapter IV, the central place is occupied by the scene of the meeting of Onegin and Tatyana. Let's all listen together once again to the conversation of two young people left alone. More precisely, not even a conversation, but Onegin's monologue. Tatyana, feeling very embarrassed (the girl was the first, having violated the norms of behavior, confessed her love to a young man!), She is silent all the time.

Expressive reading of Onegin's "confession" (XII - XVI )

What role does the author's digression play before the scene of Onegin's explanation with Tatyana? (At the beginning of the fourth chapter, Pushkin again returns to Onegin's Petersburg life. What happened between Eugene and Tatyana is not accidental, but prepared by Onegin's entire previous life).

Who wore "red heels" and "stately wigs" (according to stanza I of chapter 4)? (French dandies of the 18th century).

How did Eugene Onegin treat beauties? ("... did not fall in love, but dragged along somehow").

In his youth, Eugene was sincere, he knew true feelings: “ He is in his early youth b and unbridled passions" (IX)

In whom and in what did Onegin become disappointed? Why did his soul grow cold? (The years lived in a fake world were not in vain. Indifference to people and feelings appeared: “ He did not fall in love with beauties, a dragged somehow; o say - instantly comforted; change - I was glad to rest.X )

And so Onegin lived his best years: from sixteen to twenty-four years: (“ That's how he killed eight years at wasting life's best color").

What feelings are awakened in Onegin by Tatyana's letter? (XI ) (“having received Tanya’s message, // Onegin was vividly touched ...” and even “into a sweet, sinless dream // plunged into his soul ...”. True, not for long - the author also points to this: “Perhaps the feelings of the old ardor // Im for a minute mastered...").

Where did Onegin explain to Tatyana about her love letter?
(in the garden).

What kind of warm feelings did Onegin have for Tatyana? (“I love you with the love of a brother…”).

Why is the hero so harsh? Why does he still reject Tatyana's love? (Onegin is preoccupied with himself. All his speech is not about Tatyana, but about himself. Onegin is still cruel and because he does not believe in the power of feeling).

What do Onegin's words say: "God grant you your beloved to be different"?(to others - because he does not believe in love, is not ready for it, cannot experience it).

- Met two people who can give each other happiness. We met - and noticed each other and could fall in love ... But Onegin does not believe in love, does not believe in happiness, does not believe in anything, does not know how to believe ...

In the name of what does Onegin run from love? What evidence does he find? What picture of future family life does he paint for Tatyana? Confirm with the words of the text. Students find the lines in the text: Whenever life is around the house I I wanted to limit ...... That would be true except for you alone n no other was looking for a bride ... ... But I was not created for bliss; My soul is alien to him ...

Was he sincere? (He is not telling the truth. All people are created for happiness, but not everyone knows how to be happy - here Onegin does not know how, he is afraid).

Why is Onegin so sure that there can be no other "family happiness"? Find the answer in the text. (XV) What could be worse in the world ... Angry and coldly jealous!).

Whom does Onegin think more about in the scene of the explanation in the garden: about Tatiana and her feelings or about himself?

- How does the meeting in the garden end? Read stanzas 23-24. (Love is not killed by Onegin's coldness, but his "strict conversation" revealed to Tatyana cruelty, Onegin's ability to ruthlessly destroy naive and sincere feelings).

Why does the author tell about the "happy love" of Olga and Lensky behind the story of Tatyana's unrequited feeling? How does he feel about "happy lovers"? (Onegin does not intend to limit his life to the "home circle", and the affair of Lensky and Olga involuntarily cools his interest in Tatyana. Onegin does not want such love).

  • Reread chapter 5;
  • complete test tasks;
  • story with quotation "Tatyana's Dream".

Eugene Onegin reflected the whole life of Russian society at the beginning of the 19th century. However, two centuries later, this work is interesting not only in historical and literary terms, but also in terms of the relevance of the questions that Pushkin posed to the reading public. Everyone, opening the novel, found something of their own in it, empathized with the characters, noted the lightness and mastery of style. And quotes from this work have long become aphorisms, they are pronounced even by those who have not read the book itself.

A.S. Pushkin created this work for about 8 years (1823-1831). The history of the creation of "Eugene Onegin" began in Chisinau in 1823. It reflected the experience of "Ruslan and Lyudmila", but the subject of the image was not historical and folklore characters, but modern heroes and the author himself. The poet also begins to work in line with realism, gradually abandoning romanticism. During the period of Mikhailovsky exile, he continued to work on the book, and completed it already during the forced imprisonment in the village of Boldino (Pushkin was detained by cholera). Thus, the creative history of the work has absorbed the most "fertile" years of the creator, when his skill evolved at a breakneck pace. So his novel reflected everything that he had learned during this time, everything that he knew and felt. Perhaps this circumstance owes its depth to the work.

The author himself calls his novel “a collection of motley chapters”, each of the 8 chapters has a relative independence, because the writing of “Eugene Onegin” lasted a long time, and each episode opened a certain stage in Pushkin’s life. In parts, the book came out, the release of each became an event in the world of literature. The complete edition was published only in 1837.

Genre and composition

A.S. Pushkin defined his work as a novel in verse, emphasizing that it is lyrical-epic: the storyline, expressed by the love story of the characters (epic beginning), is adjacent to digressions and author's reflections (lyrical beginning). That is why the genre of "Eugene Onegin" is called "novel".

"Eugene Onegin" consists of 8 chapters. In the first chapters, readers get acquainted with the central character Eugene, move with him to the village and meet a future friend - Vladimir Lensky. Further, the drama of the narration increases due to the appearance of the Larin family, especially Tatyana. The sixth chapter is the culmination of the relationship between Lensky and Onegin and the flight of the protagonist. And in the finale of the work, the storyline of Eugene and Tatiana is unraveled.

Lyrical digressions are connected with the narration, but this is also a dialogue with the reader, they emphasize the “free” form, proximity to a heart-to-heart conversation. The same factor can explain the incompleteness, openness of the finale of each chapter and the novel as a whole.

About what?

A young, but already disillusioned with life, nobleman inherits an estate in the village, goes there, hoping to dispel his blues. begins with the fact that he was forced to sit with a sick uncle, who left his family nest to his nephew. However, the village life soon bores the hero, his existence would become unbearable if it were not for his acquaintance with the poet Vladimir Lensky. Friends are "ice and fire", but the differences did not interfere with friendly relations. will help figure this out.

Lensky introduces a friend to the Larin family: an old mother, sisters Olga and Tatyana. The poet has long been in love with Olga, a windy coquette. The character of Tatyana, who herself falls in love with Eugene, is much more serious and whole. Her imagination has been drawing a hero for a long time, it remains only for someone to appear. The girl is suffering, tormented, writing a romantic letter. Onegin is flattered, but understands that he cannot respond to such a passionate feeling, therefore he gives a harsh rebuke to the heroine. This circumstance plunges her into depression, she anticipates trouble. And the trouble really came. Onegin decides to take revenge on Lensky because of an accidental quarrel, but chooses a terrible means: he flirts with Olga. The poet is offended, challenges his yesterday's friend to a duel. But the culprit kills the "slave of honor" and leaves forever. The essence of the novel "Eugene Onegin" is not even to show all this. The main thing worth paying attention to is the description of Russian life and the psychologism of the characters, which develops under the influence of the depicted atmosphere.

However, the relationship between Tatiana and Eugene is not over. They meet at a secular evening, where the hero sees not a naive girl, but a mature woman in full splendor. And he falls in love. Also tormented and writes a message. And meets the same rebuff. Yes, the beauty has not forgotten anything, but it’s too late, she is “given to another”:. A failed lover is left with nothing.

Main characters and their characteristics

The images of the heroes of "Eugene Onegin" are not a random selection of characters. This is a miniature of the Russian society of that time, where all the famous types of noble people are scrupulously listed: the poor landowner Larin, his secular but degraded wife in the countryside, the exalted and bankrupt poet Lensky, his windy and frivolous passion, etc. All of them represent Imperial Russia during its heyday. No less interesting and original. Below is a description of the main characters:

  1. Eugene Onegin is the main character of the novel. It carries dissatisfaction with life, fatigue from it. Pushkin tells in detail about the environment in which the young man grew up, about how the environment shaped his character. Onegin's upbringing is typical for the nobles of those years: a superficial education aimed at being successful in a decent society. He was prepared not for a real business, but exclusively for secular entertainment. Therefore, from a young age I was tired of the empty brilliance of balls. He has a "soul direct nobility" (feels friendly affection for Lensky, does not seduce Tatyana, taking advantage of her love). The hero is capable of a deep feeling, but is afraid of losing his freedom. But, despite the nobility, he is an egoist, and narcissism underlies all his feelings. The essay contains the most detailed characterization of the character.
  2. Very different from Tatyana Larina, this image appears ideal: a whole, wise, devoted nature, ready for anything for the sake of love. She grew up in a healthy environment, in nature, and not in the world, so real feelings are strong in her: kindness, faith, dignity. The girl loves to read, and in the books she drew an image of a special, romantic, shrouded in mystery. It was this image that was embodied in Eugene. And Tatyana, with all her passion, truthfulness and purity, gave herself up to this feeling. She did not seduce, did not flirt, but took the liberty of confessing. This brave and honest act did not find a response in Onegin's heart. He fell in love with her seven years later, when she shone in the light. Fame and wealth did not bring happiness to the woman, she married the unloved, but Eugene's courtship is impossible, family oaths are sacred to her. More about this in the essay.
  3. Tatyana's sister Olga is not of great interest, there is not a single sharp corner in her, everything is round, it is not for nothing that Onegin compares her with the moon. The girl accepts Lensky's courtship. And any other person, because, why not accept, she is flirtatious and empty. Between the Larin sisters, there is immediately an enormous difference. The youngest daughter went to her mother, a windy socialite who was forcibly imprisoned in the village.
  4. However, the poet Vladimir Lensky fell in love with the coquettish Olga. Probably because it is easy to fill the void with your own content in dreams. The hero was still burning with hidden fire, he felt subtly and analyzed little. It has high moral concepts, therefore it is alien to the light and not poisoned by it. If Onegin talked and danced with Olga only out of boredom, then Lensky saw this as a betrayal, a former friend became an insidious tempter of a sinless girl. In the maximalist perception of Vladimir, this is immediately a break in relations and a duel. In it, the poet lost. The author raises the question, what could await the character with a favorable outcome? The conclusion is disappointing: Lensky would have married Olga, become an ordinary landowner and become vulgar in a routine vegetative existence. You may also need .
  5. Topics

  • The main theme of the novel "Eugene Onegin" is extensive - it is Russian life. The book shows life and upbringing in the world, in the capital, village life, customs and occupations, typical and at the same time unique portraits of characters are drawn. Almost two centuries later, the characters contain traits that are inherent in modern people, these images are deeply national.
  • The theme of friendship is also reflected in "Eugene Onegin". The main character and Vladimir Lensky were in close friendship. But can it be considered real? They met on occasion, out of boredom. Eugene sincerely became attached to Vladimir, who warmed the cold heart of the hero with his spiritual fire. However, just as quickly, he is ready to offend a friend, flirting with his beloved, who is happy about this. Eugene thinks only of himself, he absolutely does not care about the feelings of other people, so he could not save his comrade.
  • Love is also an important theme of the work. Almost all writers talk about it. Pushkin was no exception. True love is expressed in the image of Tatyana. It can develop in spite of everything and stay for life. Nobody loved Onegin and will not love it like the main character. Missing this, you remain unhappy for life. Unlike the sacrificial, all-forgiving feelings of a girl, Onegin's emotions are pride. He was frightened by a timid girl who fell in love for the first time, for whose sake it would be necessary to abandon the disgusting, but familiar light. But Eugene was subdued by a cold secular beauty, with whom to visit is already an honor, not like loving her.
  • The theme of the superfluous. The trend of realism appears in the work of Pushkin. It was the environment that brought Onegin up so disappointed. It was it that preferred to see superficiality in the nobles, the focus of all their efforts on creating secular brilliance. And nothing else is needed. On the contrary, education in folk traditions, the society of ordinary people made the soul healthy, and the nature whole, like Tatiana's.
  • The theme of devotion. True to her first and strongest love Tatyana, and frivolous, changeable and ordinary Olga. Larina's sisters are completely opposite. Olga reflects a typical secular girl, for whom the main thing is herself, her attitude towards her, and therefore it is possible to change if there is a better option. As soon as Onegin said a couple of pleasant words, she forgot about Lensky, whose affection is much stronger. Tatyana's heart is true to Eugene all his life. Even when he trampled on her feelings, she waited a long time and could not find another (again, unlike Olga, who quickly consoled herself after Lensky's death). The heroine had to get married, but in her heart she continued to be faithful to Onegin, although love was no longer possible.

Problems

The problems in the novel "Eugene Onegin" are very indicative. It reveals not only psychological and social, but also political shortcomings and even entire tragedies of the system. For example, the outdated, but no less terrible, drama of Tatyana's mother is shocking. The woman was forced to marry, and she broke down under the onslaught of circumstances, becoming an evil and despotic mistress of a hated estate. And here are the actual problems raised

  • The main problem that is raised in all realism in general, and Pushkin in "Eugene Onegin" in particular, is the destructive influence of secular society on the human soul. A hypocritical and greedy environment poisons the personality. It makes external demands of decency: a young man should know a little French, read a little fashionable literature, be decently and expensively dressed, that is, make an impression, seem, and not be. And all the feelings here are also false, they only seem. That is why secular society takes away the best from people, it cools the brightest flame with its cold deceit.
  • The blues of Evgenia is another problematic issue. Why does the main character get depressed? Not only because society has corrupted him. The main reason is that he does not find the answer to the question: why all this? Why does he live? To go to theaters, to balls and receptions? The absence of a vector, direction of movement, awareness of the meaninglessness of existence - these are the feelings that embrace Onegin. Here we face the eternal problem of the meaning of life, which is so difficult to find.
  • The problem of selfishness is reflected in the image of the protagonist. Realizing that no one would love him in a cold and indifferent world, Eugene began to love himself more than anyone in the world. Therefore, he does not care about Lensky (he only blows boredom), Tatyana (she can take away her freedom), he thinks only of himself, but he is punished for this: he remains completely alone and is rejected by Tatyana.

Idea

The main idea of ​​the novel "Eugene Onegin" is to criticize the existing order of life, which dooms more or less outstanding natures to loneliness and death. After all, there is so much potential in Eugene, but there is no business, only secular intrigues. How much spiritual fire is in Vladimir, and besides death, only vulgarization in a feudal, suffocating environment can await him. How much spiritual beauty and intelligence in Tatyana, and she can only be the hostess of secular evenings, dress up and carry on empty conversations.

People who do not think, do not reflect, do not suffer - these are the ones for whom the existing reality suits. This is a consumer society that lives at the expense of others, which shines while those "others" vegetate in poverty and filth. The thoughts that Pushkin thought about deserve attention to this day, remain important and urgent.

Another meaning of "Eugene Onegin", which Pushkin laid down in his work, is to show how important it is to preserve individuality and virtue when temptations and fashions rage around, which subjugate more than one generation of people. While Eugene was chasing new trends, playing the cold and disappointed hero of Byron, Tatyana listened to the voice of her heart and remained true to herself. Therefore, she finds happiness in love, albeit unrequited, and he finds only boredom in everything and everyone.

Features of the novel

The novel "Eugene Onegin" is a fundamentally new phenomenon in the literature of the early 19th century. He has a special composition - this is a "novel in verse", a lyrical-epic work of great volume. In lyrical digressions, the image of the author, his thoughts, feelings and ideas, which he wants to convey to readers, emerges.

Pushkin strikes with the lightness and melodiousness of his language. His literary style is devoid of heaviness, didacticity, the author is able to talk about complex and important things simply and clearly. Of course, much needs to be read between the lines, since severe censorship was ruthless to geniuses, but the poet is also not sewn with a bastard, so he managed to tell about the socio-political problems of his state in the elegance of the verse, which were successfully hushed up in the press. It is important to understand that before Alexander Sergeevich, Russian poetry was different, he made a kind of “revolution of the game”.

The feature is also contained in the system of images. Eugene Onegin is the first in the gallery of "superfluous people", who contain a huge potential that cannot be realized. Tatyana Larina "raised" female images from the place "the main character needs someone to love" to an independent and integral portrait of a Russian woman. Tatyana is one of the first heroines who looks stronger and more significant than the main character, and does not hide in his shadow. This is how the direction of the novel "Eugene Onegin" is manifested - realism, which more than once will open the theme of an extra person and affect the difficult female fate. By the way, we also described this feature in the essay "".

Realism in the novel "Eugene Onegin"

"Eugene Onegin" marks Pushkin's transition to realism. In this novel, the author for the first time raises the theme of man and society. Personality is not perceived separately, it is part of the society that educates, leaves a certain imprint or completely forms people.

The main characters are typical yet unique. Eugene is an authentic secular nobleman: disappointed, superficially educated, but at the same time not like those around him - noble, intelligent, observant. Tatyana is an ordinary provincial young lady: she was brought up on French novels, filled with the sweet dreams of these works, but at the same time she is a “Russian soul”, a wise, virtuous, loving, harmonious nature.

It is in the fact that readers for two centuries see themselves, their acquaintances in the characters, it is in the inescapable topicality of the novel that its realistic orientation is expressed.

Criticism

The novel "Eugene Onegin" evoked a great response from readers and critics. According to E.A. Baratynsky: "Everyone talks about them in his own way: some praise, others scold and everyone reads." Contemporaries scolded Pushkin for the "labyrinth of digressions", for the insufficiently written character of the protagonist, for the negligence of the language. The reviewer Thaddeus Bulgarin, who supported the government and conservative literature, especially distinguished himself.

However, the novel was best understood by V.G. Belinsky, who called it "an encyclopedia of Russian life", a historical work, despite the absence of historical characters. Indeed, a modern belles-lettres lover can study Eugene Onegin from this point of view as well, in order to learn more about the society of the nobility at the beginning of the 19th century.

And a century later, the comprehension of the novel in verse continued. Yu.M.Lotman saw complexity, paradoxicality in the work. This is not just a collection of quotes familiar from childhood, it is an “organic world”. All this proves the relevance of the work and its significance for Russian national culture.

What does it teach?

Pushkin showed the life of young people, how their fate can be. Of course, fate depends not only on the environment, but also on the characters themselves, but the influence of society is undeniable. The poet showed the main enemy that strikes the young nobles: idleness, the aimlessness of existence. The conclusion of Alexander Sergeevich is simple: the creator calls not to limit himself to secular conventions, stupid rules, but to live a full life, guided by moral and spiritual components.

These ideas remain relevant to this day, modern people often face a choice: live in harmony with themselves or break themselves for the sake of some benefits or social recognition. Choosing the second path, chasing illusory dreams, you can lose yourself and find with horror that life is over, and nothing has been done. This is what you need to fear the most.

Interesting? Save it on your wall!

The novel "Eugene Onegin" by A. S. Pushkin is the greatest work of Russian literature. Pushkin wrote his novel for eight years. During this period of his life he had to go through a lot. The author was serving a southern exile, spent two years of exile in the village of Mikhailovskoye, was torn into two cities, St. Petersburg and Moscow, courted Natalya Goncharova for a long time, and finally married this most beautiful woman.

Pushkin began writing the fourth chapter of the novel "Eugene Onegin" in 1824. He finished it on January 6, 1826. The scene of the meeting and explanation of Tatyana and Onegin

It carries a huge psychological burden. After all, it is difficult for us to say how the further fate of Tatyana and Yevgeny would have developed if, for example, Onegin had given his consent to Tatyana's letter.

"Morality in the nature of things" is an epigraph to the fourth chapter of the novel "Eugene Onegin", which makes us think. Necker is a friend of Walter, an educator, the largest French banker. He is the author of the statement that Pushkin took for the epigraph to this chapter. What did Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin want to tell them? We can suggest several interpretations. It is quite true that this statement

About morality is filled with irony. But there is another option, suggesting a serious attitude of readers to the fourth chapter. It becomes clear to us that the problem of morality is very important for A. S. Pushkin. Tatyana's letter is countered by a rebuke from Eugene Onegin. We understand that the speech of the hero, Eugene Onegin, is unexpected for Tatyana, because he behaved like a decent and well-mannered young man. With this, he struck a girl in love with him, who was ready for secret dates, for "death".

Eugene Onegin put her feelings within the bounds of decency. He did not behave like a literary hero from the novels that Tatyana loved to read so much. His cold rebuke is the reality of the life of that time and society. Yes, a young, proud girl offers her love to him, and he rejects her. Why? Eugene explains to her that his feelings cooled down early, that his soul is dead. Onegin does not want to shoulder the burden of responsibility, he does not want married life. Eugene was fed up with the love of young beauties of high society. He loves his freedom. In their meeting, we see a tragedy, for them this conversation becomes flour. Tatyana believed Eugene, the tragedy of the situation is that she does not know her loved one at all. Onegin does not believe in love, happiness, as he is completely devastated. Yes, they broke up. When you read Onegin's monologue, you understand that after all, there could be a place for dialogue here. Tatyana is mostly silent, but this is only apparent silence. Her soul is torn out, she screams, or prays quietly. We feel her state of mind. Tatyana answers Onegin, but only to herself. The reader feels, guesses her emotional perception of Onegin's speech.

When Eugene says that Tatyana's sincerity is sweet to him, a spark of hope lights up in her soul. Next, Onegin pours, as if, ice water, saying that she needs to be able to control herself. Hope is no more, barely born, it dies. How subtly the author describes her condition: Tatyana sees nothing through her tears, barely breathes, does not object to Eugene, only silently listens to him. The lexical originality of the scene of the meeting of Onegin and Tatyana is striking in its nobility, for example, "captivated", recognition of a trusting soul, "silenced feelings". We feel the excitement of the hero, as if by chance we are in the same garden, and involuntarily become witnesses of the explanations of young people. It's a shame that young people of the 21st century do not know how to express their feelings in this way. Alexander Sergeevich in the novel "Eugene Onegin" carefully thought out the vocabulary.

The phrases in the novel are perfected, some have become popular expressions: "Inexperience leads to trouble", "There is no return to dreams and years." Pushkin also uses comparisons. For example, he compares a girl's dreams to the leaves of a tree. And what epithets: a fiery, pure soul, "light dreams." Using such artistic techniques together with the "Onegin stanza", Pushkin created one of the brightest pages of the novel. I believe that the scene of the meeting of Tatyana and Onegin in the novel "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is an example of delightful love lyrics.

The work "Eugene Onegin" by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin was published in 1833, but it still excites the hearts of people. Every senior schoolboy knows passages from the novel by heart and all its main characters. In order to understand what is the secret of the success of the work, we will make a brief analysis of Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" in this article.

General characteristics of the novel

  • Direction and genre. "Eugene Onegin" is one of the first Russian realistic novels of a socio-psychological direction. Moreover, this novel was written not in prose, but in verse. The history of its creation covers several periods of the poet's work.
  • Ideas and thoughts. The novel is named after the name of the protagonist, for a reason. By this Pushkin emphasized the special significance of the character. In the image of Eugene Onegin, he wanted to show the image of the hero of the time. According to Pushkin, a distinctive feature of the youth of the 19th century was indifference to life, to its pleasures, the poet called this "premature old age of the soul."
  • Another important idea is to show the national character of the Russian heroine. Tatyana is not only a "Russian soul" heroine, but also the ideal of a woman.
  • In this novel, the author also showed the nobility that formed the main characters. On the one hand, this is the high society of St. Petersburg and Moscow, imbued with the spirit of "empty" and "cold", on the other hand, the nobility of the provinces. The attitude of the poet towards them was different, which he showed in the novel.
  • Subject. The novel covers extensive life material. Therefore, the problems and themes of the work are so diverse and versatile. It depicts in every detail the social, everyday and cultural way of the entire Russian society of the early 19th century.
  • Issues. At the heart of the problematics of the work lies the main problem of the society of that time. This is the opposition of the main part of Russian society, which honors national traditions, to the European-educated Russian nobility.
  • Main heroes. In the novel, there is a contraposition all the time: the city - the village, the national - non-national. The characters of the novel are contrasted in the same way. The "Hero of Time" appears before the reader in the form of Eugene Onegin. He acts as a representative of "Russian Byronism". Tatyana Larina is a "sweet ideal", the poet put into her his ideas about the Russian character. Vladimir Lensky is also a representative of the Russian nobility, but of a different type - he is a young romantic, a dreamer, in contrast to the Byronic Onegin.

Brief analysis of the chapters

  • Analysis of the 1st chapter of "Eugene Onegin". In the first chapter, in order to explain the appearance of Onegin, such an unusual hero, Pushkin describes in detail what happened to him. As a result of the chapter, it becomes clear that there is a contradiction. With all the opportunities that a brilliant metropolitan life gives the hero, he is not carried away by it. And the reader has a question about why he lost interest in life.
  • Analysis of the 2nd chapter of "Eugene Onegin". In the second chapter, the main characters are described, their portrait characteristics are given, and some character traits are drawn. And again the question: why does Onegin shun his neighbors, but converges with Lensky? After all, they are so different, so different from each other, like ice and fire.
  • Analysis of the 3rd chapter of "Eugene Onegin". It is believed that this chapter begins the beginning of the conflict. But would Pushkin, with his poetic energy, stretch the exposition into two chapters? He began the novel strongly. The plot of the novel lies in the contradictions that torment the hero, the oddities of his longing, with all the splendor of living conditions. The second chapter leads to a change of environment, to a change of place. But even here, in the estate, Onegin yearns almost the same as in the capital. Chapter 3 is just the next step of this plot. The hero will not face the village, but with a feeling reminiscent of the elements - with love. The feeling that flared up in Tatyana and her deed, a letter of love, are central to this chapter. And again questions. Why did love awaken so unexpectedly in Tatyana? And what prompted her to write a letter to Onegin?
  • Analysis of the 4th chapter of "Eugene Onegin". The chapter shows the reader the main character's reaction to love. How do the author of the novel and Tatyana evaluate his explanation in the garden? Is it the same? Why did the author need to demonstrate in this chapter the holiness of Onegin and the happy love of Lensky and Olga?
  • Analysis of the 5th chapter of "Eugene Onegin". Here the hero is waiting for a new test, and the question arises before him: what will win - the desire for his own peace, backed by the consciousness of superiority over other people, or sympathy for someone else's love, indulgence in friendship? The chapter answers the questions: how did Tatyana manage to predict Lensky's collision with Onegin, how is Tatyana's dream similar to name days?
  • Analysis of the 6th chapter of "Eugene Onegin". It reveals all the imaginary feeling of superiority inherent in Onegin. This is the denouement of the duel with society, which was outlined in the moping Onegin and ended in the murder of a friend, a young poet. Only the physical shell of the protagonist remained alive, he is morally broken. The condemnation of the environment, which he despises, turned out to be stronger than his hidden feelings and sincere desires. Questions that should be answered: what happened, how friends suddenly became enemies and clashed in a duel, who is still to blame for the duel, in its sad ending?
  • Analysis of the 7th chapter of "Eugene Onegin". It is built on 2 events: Tatiana's visit to the house where the Onegins live, and Tatiana's arrival in Moscow. There is no hero in Moscow. The reader is hesitant about Onegin's assessment. There is even greater uncertainty and mystery in his figure. Having suffered a moral fiasco, it would seem that he should be condemned by us. The doubts that overcome Tatyana and plunge her into indifference seem to contribute even more to our condemnation of Onegin. But in the eighth chapter, Pushkin leads us out of erroneous delusions and does not allow us to recklessly condemn the hero. A hero who, at the end of the novel, is capable of sincere feelings and deep suffering. And here we ask questions: has Tatyana's attitude towards Onegin changed in connection with all the events that have taken place?
  • Analysis of the 8th chapter of "Eugene Onegin". In this chapter, Onegin discovers opportunities that he did not have before. The hero ascended, a direct, selfless and lyrical feeling opened in him. But, nevertheless, he finds himself in a tragic impasse. According to Pushkin, falling into love, expressing cold contempt for society, is not salvation. This is the denouement of the inner meaning of the novel. And we have to answer the question: Onegin loves Tatyana, but why is she rejecting him now?

We have presented you a small analysis of the novel "Eugene Onegin", we hope that it will help you better understand this work.
