My opinion about Eugene Onegin (based on the novel of the same name by A.S. Pushkin). Essay on the topic: “my opinion about Onegin” My opinion about Onegin briefly
Pushkin wrote his Onegin from a whole generation of young people. They lived at the expense of the serfs, received an education, led an empty social life, and did not work anywhere. They were raised by strangers. Their relatives had no time to raise them. The days were spent aimlessly drinking in restaurants, chasing women, and sometimes visiting the theater and balls.
My uncle, my only relative, needed care during his illness. But it’s hard for Onegin to be the saddle next to him day and night. Feed him, give him water, give him medicine. And he thinks to himself: “When will the devil take you.” This is gratitude to my uncle for all the good things he did for his nephew. Onegin is incapable of loving either women or relatives.
Onegin, instead of the natural sciences, mastered the science of hypocrisy and jealousy well. Just boredom, whether in St. Petersburg or in the village. He is not interested in hunting or fishing. At first, Onegin planned to make life easier for the peasants, but quickly abandoned this matter. He did not like to exert himself; he was lazy by nature. And besides, he’s also an egoist. He passively floats on the waves of an empty and meaningless life.
Having killed his friend Lensky, he still feels remorse. Will this tragedy turn his life upside down? He goes on a journey around the world. In his absence, Tatyana marries someone else. And now Onegin already likes her. He falls in love with her, but she cannot reciprocate his feelings, although she continues to love Onegin in her heart. I personally don’t believe in Onegin’s love. In my opinion, people rarely change. He remained as selfish as he was. Give your child his favorite toy! Without hesitation, he is capable of destroying the lives of two people - Tatyana and her husband. You cannot build your happiness on the misfortune of others. But Tatyana turned out to be smarter and wiser.
Onegin evokes neither pity nor sympathy in me. An empty, worthless person. And it’s even very good that he did not respond to Tatyana’s feelings. I would quickly play enough with it and throw it away like a boring toy. Onegin is not used to taking responsibility for his actions. He was used to the fact that women in St. Petersburg hung themselves around his neck. And so, at least, the husband loves Tatyana and will not leave her as unnecessary.
Perhaps Pushkin wrote Onegin from himself, endowing him with his own character traits. He also loved the attention of women. And he was challenged to a duel because of a woman. True, for him it ended tragically.

The novel in verse by A. S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” is the first realistic work in Russia in the 19th century. Eugene Onegin is the central character of this novel.
In the first chapter, the author describes in detail the actions of a young man who spent eight years living a distracted social life in St. Petersburg. The hero was tired of the monotony and diversity, complete inactivity: he “had completely lost interest in life,” and the “Russian blues” took possession of him. At this time, the poet met Onegin, “like him, lagging behind the bustle” of social life. Such a remark makes us understand that the hero’s cooling towards high society is not a quirk, but a kind of pattern for extraordinary individuals.
The premature old age of Onegin’s soul is so deep that strong feelings have no power over him, beauty does not touch him. Once in the village, the hero soon loses interest in its beauties. Moreover, he remains indifferent to Tatyana’s confessions.
The influence of the social environment on the formation of Onegin’s character traits such as disappointment in life, selfishness, and individualism is shown in the first four chapters through a description of the hero’s time in society. In the author's digression, following Onegin's sermon, Pushkin defends his hero. He explains Eugene's selfishness for social reasons. The hero, although in conflict with his environment, cannot decisively, once and for all, break with St. Petersburg society.
In the sixth chapter, which describes Onegin’s duel with Lensky, Pushkin shows the dependence of the behavior of a contemporary person on public opinion, on the mores of the environment with which the hero is connected by origin, upbringing, and way of life. Having accepted the challenge, Onegin considered himself wrong and even imagined how he could calm Lensky and dispel his jealousy. But he did not act at all as his conscience and prudence told him. Onegin accepted the duel and thereby played the role of an impeccable nobleman.
In his soul, the hero condemns himself, but does not find the courage to go against public opinion, even if it is created by people such as the former “head of the rake” and “chieftain of the gambling gang” Zaretsky. After all, someone who refuses a challenge is, from the point of view of legislators of secular opinion, either a coward or a fraudster with whom decent people should have nothing in common. The author sympathizes with the mental torment of Onegin, who became a victim of generally accepted morality.
The complex character of the hero is revealed not only through the peculiarities of his lifestyle and actions, but also through the perception of Tatyana, who is trying to unravel him. She reads books belonging to Onegin, who
I have long stopped loving reading,
However, several creations
He excluded from disgrace:
Singer Gyaur and Juan
Yes, there are two or three more novels with him,
In which the century is reflected
And modern man
Portrayed quite accurately
With his immoral soul,
Selfish and dry,
Immensely devoted to a dream,
With his embittered mind
Seething in empty action.
Tatyana, in love with Onegin, grasped the complexity and inconsistency of his character. What is more in it: good or evil? Is Onegin really imitating the immoral heroes of novels, lonely individualists with an “embarrassed mind”? Is he really just a caricatured imitation of Byron's heroes? But Pushkin defends his hero. His spiritual alienation from high society is not a game, not a lordly quirk, but a tragedy.
In the eighth chapter, called “Wandering” and later not included in the main text of the novel, the author took a new step in revealing the hero’s relationship with society. Onegin visits ancient Russian cities (Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Astrakhan, Novgorod the Great) and travels to the Caucasus. The contrast between the glorious historical past of these cities and their modern social stagnation causes melancholy in the hero.
Thus, in my opinion, Onegin belongs to the generation of extraordinary representatives of noble society. He began to overcome, under the influence of life experiences (duel, travel), his egoistic approach to people. At the end of the novel, the hero is excited by his meeting with Tatyana.
In his belated feeling, the lonely and suffering hero hopes for a rebirth to life. But Onegin is rejected by Tatyana. A rumor trails behind him like a trail: “a murderer, but... an honest man!” Unwittingly, the hero now appears before the secular crowd as a man whose fate seems to be weighed down by something fatal.
The new socio-psychological type, represented in the image of Onegin, was just taking shape in Russian reality of the 1820s. He was unusual, unusual, not like a traditional hero. It took a lot of observation to discern him in the mass of the secular crowd, to comprehend his essence and place in life.
My opinion about Onegin
The novel "Eugene Onegin" occupies a central place in Pushkin's work. This is his largest work of art, the richest in content.
“I am now writing not a novel, but a novel in verse - a devilish difference!” Pushkin wrote to the poet P. A. Vyazemsky. Alexander Sergeevich put a lot of work into this novel in order to express his thoughts most accurately and poetically.
The main character of the novel is Eugene Onegin - a man with a very complex and contradictory character. Onegin is the son of a rich master. He did not need to work for a piece of bread, he did not know how and did not want to work - “He was sick of persistent work.” Onegin spent every day with friends in a restaurant, attended the theater, balls, and courted women. Onegin led the same idle and meaningless life in the village. Evgeniy grew up without a mother and was raised by tutors. They taught him almost nothing. And, probably, that’s why Onegin came out of a real egoist, a man who thinks only about himself, who can easily offend. But, carefully reading the novel, I noticed that Onegin is a very smart, subtle and observant person. Even when for the first time, catching a glimpse of Tatyana without talking to her, he immediately felt the poetic soul in her. And, having received a letter from Tatyana, he, not being able to share her feelings, correctly and clearly decided to tell her directly about it. But Onegin could not resist the “coquetry” that was familiar to him from a young age in treating women. And he writes:
“There is no return to dreams and years;
I will not renew my soul...
I love you with the love of a brother
And maybe even more tender."
Selfishness and inattention to people at the end of the novel turn Onegin's life upside down. Having killed Lensky in a duel, he is horrified by his senseless crime. Onegin only thinks about him. He is unable to continue living in those places where everything reminds him of his terrible crime.
The image of the young man he killed does not leave Onegin even later, after returning from a three-year trip to Russia.
Onegin meets with Tatyana again. Onegin fell in love with Tatyana, and the strength of his feelings is such that he becomes seriously ill and almost dies of love.
Having recovered, Evgeny goes to Tatiana to see her at least once again and finds her at home alone. Here Onegin suffers the final collapse of his hopes for happiness: Tatyana resolutely refuses to unite her fate with his:
"But I was given to someone else
I will be faithful to him forever."
In my opinion, Evgeny Onegin has been doomed to inaction since childhood. He is not capable of love or friendship. Excellent inclinations, such as intelligence, nobility, the ability to feel deeply and strongly, were suppressed by the environment in which he grew up. And in the novel, most of all the blame falls not on Onegin, but on the socio-historical way of life.

Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” became a kind of discovery for me. From this work I learned a lot of new and interesting things.
The main character of the novel in verse is the young nobleman Eugene Onegin. One of the main questions of the work that the author poses to us is whether Onegin knows how to love? The reader thinks about this throughout the novel.
It seems to me that in order to answer this question, it is worth turning to the description of the hero’s upbringing and lifestyle. From a very young age, Onegin was part of the high society of St. Petersburg. All that the hero could learn there was the art of lies and hypocrisy. The high society of St. Petersburg is completely unpretentious. It values only the superficial ability to make a pleasant impression. No one is going to look deeper. I think in such a society it is easy for superficial people to shine.
Constant romances, intrigues, flirting - these are the main entertainments in this society. Naturally, Onegin perfectly mastered the “art of tender passion.” But there is not a drop of sincerity in this relationship. Evgeniy quickly became disillusioned with life and his surroundings. He lost interest in everything around him, and after a while he even left for the village. But only for a few days he was interested in simple village life, then the hero became bored again.
It was during such a “spiritual coldness” that Evgeny Onegin met Tatyana Larina. The young girl instantly fell in love with the capital's dandy. But the hero himself was sure that no one would be able to excite him for long. Onegin does not reciprocate the heroine’s feelings, giving her only a rebuke.
After the absurd murder of Vladimir Lensky in a duel, Evgeniy flees the village. We learn that he wandered for some time, moved away from high society, and changed greatly. Everything superficial is gone, only a deep, ambiguous personality remains.
During this period, Evgeny meets with Tatyana again. Now she is a married woman, a socialite. Having seen such changes, the hero now falls in love with Tatyana. It is at this moment that we understand that Onegin is capable of love and suffering. After all, Tatyana refuses him, she cannot betray her husband.
Thus, initially Onegin is a deep and interesting personality. But high society “served him badly.” Only by moving away from his surroundings does the hero “return to himself” again and discover in himself the ability to deeply feel and sincerely love.
The novel “Eugene Onegin” made me think about the importance of being an individual, free and independent of the opinions of society, the environment, and other people. And, in addition, about the significance of the influence of the environment on a person, on his destiny, on his worldview.
Pushkin's novel is filled with subtle psychological observations, deep reflections on human life, its meaning, and goals. Therefore, we can say that in the novel I appreciated, first of all, its philosophical side, the universal one. But, at the same time, I learned a lot about the cultural and everyday life of Russian nobles at the beginning of the 19th century.
In general, the novel in verse by A. S. Pushkin became a discovery for me, a work that I read with great pleasure and benefit for myself.
