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 dealing with 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 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.

Starting to read a literary work by A.S. Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin”, I could not even imagine how beautiful and interesting this work is. The poetic form of a literary work conveys the feelings of the poet much more strongly than the prosaic form, and the author of the work gives a special coloring to the lyrical digressions that relate to eternal questions of morality and philosophy. At first, one even gets the impression that the plot of a literary work is a chaotic set of unrelated memories, dreams, thoughts about the slenderness of women’s legs, about the change of generations, about secular society and much more. And Pushkin himself, at first glance, gave grounds for such an assessment of his literary work:

Receive the collection of motley heads.

Half funny, half sad,

Common people, ideal,

The careless fruit of my amusements...

But such a plot of a literary work allows the author of the work to conduct a free and relaxed conversation with the reader. And this, in my opinion, makes the work more interesting and “alive.”

By naming his literary work after one of the heroes, the poet thereby emphasized the central position of Eugene Onegin among them. Onegin was especially close to Pushkin, since he most fully embodied those features that, according to the poet, were the distinctive features of the youth of the 19th century. And from the very first pages of the literary work, I learned about the life of the main character, about his character, about how he spends his leisure time. And even in the epigraph to this work one could read that Eugene Onegin is a proud and indifferent person, imbued with vanity. Also, the young nobleman is shown by the author of the work as a person with a very complex and contradictory character. Pushkin notes in Onegin’s character: “involuntary devotion to dreams,” “inimitable strangeness” and “a sharp, chilled mind.” Even from the first stanzas of the literary work, one can understand that the poet does not hide the shortcomings of his main character and does not even try to justify them. Moreover, Pushkin liked the features of Onegin, namely: his sense of honor and true nobility. It seems to me that such inconsistency in the characterization of the hero of a literary work makes his image more lifelike: he is not a “positive” hero, but not a “negative” one either. I think that Pushkin wanted us to understand for ourselves the character of the hero of a literary work and to evaluate his actions.

I believe that Onegin’s main character traits determined his social position and upbringing. Due to the fact that our hero of the work grew up in a wealthy family, he did not consider it necessary to work particularly hard for a piece of bread, he did not know how and did not even want to work. The “young rake” was attracted only by a beautiful and luxurious life. I think that Evgeny Onegin led an empty and uninteresting lifestyle not only in St. Petersburg, but also in his uncle’s village. But when he realized this, it was already too late. Secular society has turned our hero into a real egoist, a person who thinks only about himself, about his desires and pleasures, who can easily offend, insult, and cause grief to a person without even noticing it. And all this led Onegin to tragedy, which consisted in his spiritual emptiness, in the absence of a high meaning in life. When Eugene Onegin realizes that he was wrong, it will be too late. He will not be able to return the past years. His whole life will become meaningless.

The opposite of Onegin in a literary work is the image of Lensky. Vladimir was an ardent and enthusiastic young poet. He was also an extraordinary writer and loved life. It seems to me that such a naive belief in the “perfection of the world,” a lack of understanding of life as it really is, a lack of understanding of the society around him, subsequently leads Lensky to death. But Pushkin speaks of Lensky not with condemnation, but with love and deep regret. After all, he was not only a naive, ardent and reckless person, but also a noble and talented poet. “My friends, you feel sorry for the poet,” says Pushkin, describing Lensky’s early death.

I was particularly impressed by Tatyana’s letter to Onegin. I was struck by how great the power of Tatyana’s love for Evgeniy turned out to be, even though at first she tried to deny it. But the feelings filled her heart so much that she even had the courage to write about it in a letter to her lover. And it becomes clear that Tatyana is a girl with a strong soul, who has high spiritual nobility and an inability to deceive. These qualities of her character make Tatyana’s image the most attractive. Olga, Tanya’s sister, had completely opposite character traits. She was not characterized by honesty or spiritual nobility. She was so empty that she could not even truly show her feelings of love for Lensky. And this contrast in the feelings of the two girls makes us, the readers, once again pay attention to Tatyana’s letter, filled with a feeling of love and nobility. But Onegin, having received this letter, in my opinion, acts rather selfishly towards Tatyana. In his confession, he directly tells her that he does not share her feelings:

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...

After this confession, I got the impression that Eugene Onegin is an egoist, disappointed in everything, bored and incapable of any strong feelings and experiences. But according to Pushkin, Onegin acted nobly towards Tatyana, albeit cruelly.

But still, it seems to me that the literary work “Eugene Onegin” is not a pessimistic work. There are so many bright pictures here, so much soul-satisfying beauty in the depiction of life, Russian nature, so many honest and high feelings, experiences, and actions.

Also, after reading the first few chapters of this work, I came to the conclusion that “Eugene Onegin” is truly a “miraculous monument” to Pushkin’s poetic genius.

Of course, the main place in the literary work is occupied by the description of the life of the main character - the young metropolitan “rake” Eugene Onegin, using the example of whose life the author of the work shows the life and morals of secular society. We learn about the typical upbringing of noble children at that time. Education was superficial, “to something and somehow,” and the required set of knowledge included only the French language, the ability to dance the mazurka, “bow at ease,” and “the science of tender passion.”

The life of the local nobility is described in no less detail. Pushkin lived quite a long time on his Mikhailovskoye estate and knew well the life of provincial landowners.

At the beginning of the literary work, Onegin is depicted without evil irony, disappointment in the world brings him closer to the author of the work (“I was embittered, he was gloomy”) and makes readers feel sympathy for him (“I liked his features...”). Pushkin notices those features that make him similar to the hero: attention to his appearance (“you can be a sensible person and think about the beauty of your nails”) and the ladies at balls, but at the same time he is always “glad to notice the difference” between them. Neither books nor pen could attract Onegin’s attention for a long time, but the key thing in which their difference is manifested is their attitude towards nature. Eugene was attracted to her, as to everything else, by the novelty (“and I’m very glad that he changed his old path for something”), which disappears very soon.

We see the same reverent attitude towards the beauties of nature as in Pushkin in the heroine Tatyana Larina, who is spiritually close to the poet. It is in nature that she finds peace of mind.

One of the main places in the literary work is given to the Larin family. This is a typical family, no different from the families of provincial landowners of that time, who, unlike the world, lived in the old fashioned way, preserving the traditions and “habits of the dear old days.”

It is through the example of this family that the female images of Tatyana and Olga Larin, their mother, are revealed. Tatyana's mother followed a typical path for her time: from a society girl to the wife of a village landowner.
