Morality in Eugene Onegin. Tatiana and Evgeniy in Chapter VIII of the novel. Moral problems of the novel “Eugene Onegin. Is there any deep Christian message in “Eugene Onegin”, similar to what is, for example, in “The Captain’s Daughter”

Pushkin’s work “Eugene Onegin” is named after the main character, a young St. Petersburg aristocrat. It is believed that Onegin was the founder of the image of the “superfluous man” in Russian literature. It is with this image that a complex of moral and philosophical problems is associated in the novel.

The first chapter tells us about the hero’s upbringing, education, and lifestyle. This is a man belonging to the high society of St. Petersburg. As befits children from noble families, he was raised by French tutors. Pushkin shows that his hero did not receive a deep education. He is a fan of fashion, makes and reads only what he can show off at a reception or dinner party. Therefore, “he could not distinguish an iambic from a trochee,” but “he read Adam Smith and was a deep economist.”

The only thing that interested Onegin and in which he achieved perfection was “the science of tender passion.” The hero learned early to be a hypocrite, to pretend, to deceive in order to achieve his goal. But his soul always remained empty, amused only by his pride. Very soon Onegin got tired of the emptiness of days spent in meaningless worries, and he became bored. He was fed up with such an artificial life, he wanted something else. An attempt to forget myself in the village was unsuccessful.

Onegin had great potential. The author characterizes him as a man of great intelligence, sober and calculating, capable of much. The hero is frankly bored among his nearby village neighbors and avoids their company by all means. But he is able to understand and appreciate the soul of another person. This happened with Lensky when he met, and this happened when he met Tatyana.

We see that Onegin is capable of noble deeds. He did not take advantage of Tatyana's love. The hero was sure that no one would be able to excite him for a long time, so he did not reciprocate the heroine’s feelings.

The full disclosure of the image of the main character is facilitated by the appearance of the image of Lensky in the novel. The young poet is in love with Tatiana's older sister, Olga. By contrasting Onegin and Lensky, the author shows the depth of Eugene Onegin’s nature. During a quarrel with his neighbor, the hero reveals the tragic contradictions of his inner world. On the one hand, he understands that a duel with a friend is unforgivable stupidity. But, on the other hand, Eugene considers it humiliating to refuse this fatal duel. And here he reveals himself as a slave of public opinion, a child of high society.

As a result, Onegin kills Lensky. This turns out to be a strong shock for the hero, after which his strong internal changes began. After Lensky's murder, 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. Evgeniy meets with Tatiana 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. But 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.

In the work, along with Evgeny Onegin, the image of the author lives and acts. This is a full-fledged hero, because throughout the poem this image is revealed and developed in lyrical digressions, as well as in the plot itself. We learn about the past of this character, his thoughts about everything that is happening around him, and finally, his attitude towards Eugene Onegin.

It is with the main character of the poem that most of the author’s judgments and assessments are associated. The author emphasizes his unity with the hero, who also came from a noble background and received an education typical of that circle and that time. Throughout the entire novel, Pushkin compares and contrasts himself with Onegin. To do this, he finds different artistic techniques. One of them is getting closer to the hero through mutual acquaintances. So, in the restaurant, Evgeniy is “waiting for... Kaverin,” a close friend of Pushkin in his youth. In addition, the author compares Onegin with Chaadaev, whom he himself knew and to whom he dedicated several poems.

One of the main problems in the novel by A.S. Pushkin's Evgeniy Onegin is the problem of moral choice, which determines the further fate of the heroes.

If the choice is correct, then the person remains the master of his life, but in the case of an incorrect moral choice, the opposite is true; Everything around is controlled only by fate. Naturally, both main characters of the novel, Evgeny Onegin and Tatyana Larina, make a moral choice.

Moral choice of heroes

Onegin’s first moral choice turns out to be wrong, and it is because of this that the whole plot of the novel begins: Onegin agrees to a duel with Lensky, which he himself does not want, obeying only public opinion (refusing a duel was considered a disgrace for life).

The duel ends tragically - Onegin kills the young poet (in his understanding, the opinion of the world turns out to be more important than human life), and from that moment all the heroes of the novel no longer belong to themselves, their lives are controlled by fate.

As a result, Tatyana also makes her own, also wrong, moral choice - she marries an unloved person, submitting to the same public opinion (it was indecent for a girl of her age to remain unmarried), thereby betraying her moral principles and ideals.

After this event, the reader loses sight of Tatyana for some time, and Onegin goes on a journey. He returns as a changed man, rethinks his values ​​and understands that in the world to which he has returned, he is already superfluous.

But then he unexpectedly meets Tatiana at the ball, grown up and married. Shocked by what a luxurious woman has grown from a simple naive village girl, Onegin falls in love with this new Tatiana.

And then he makes another wrong moral choice: he tries to court a married woman, inducing her to cheat. This choice becomes tragic for him, because after the last explanation with Tatyana, Onegin is found in her personal chambers by her husband. Obviously, such an incident will become the reason for another duel, and this duel will most likely end with the death of Onegin.

Pushkin's moral ideal

Tatiana, at the end of the novel, unlike Onegin, makes exactly the right moral choice: she denies Onegin adultery, not wanting to cheat on her husband.

Although she admits that she still loves Onegin, moral principles are more important to her - once married, she can only belong to her husband.

Thus, you can see that Tatyana is the image of a woman in the novel. She is a more morally integral person than Onegin. She made a mistake once, but then did not repeat her mistake.

Onegin makes the wrong choice twice, for which he will be punished. It is obvious that Pushkin sympathizes more with Tatyana; she is his moral ideal.

Using the example of Onegin, Pushkin depicts all the most characteristic vices of his time: this young man is arrogant and selfish, his whole life is a game for him, he is superficially educated. It was precisely these dandies who made up the high society of St. Petersburg in the first half of the 19th century.

Start of the lesson.

Work with text.

— What facts of the author’s biography are discussed at the beginning of Chapter 8? (Tale about the lyceum, exile, memoriesknowledge about the Caucasus, Crimea, Moldova, but most importantlyinner world, movement of creative thought, developmentity of the author’s state of mind.)

— Pushkin needed five stanzas to remember his whole life. There was youth - it left, there were friends, but they were destroyed. But the memory of them remained, loyalty to the ideas for which they gave their lives and went to the Nerchinsk mines. The muse remains, it is unchanged, it will always remain pure and

bright, it will help you live:

And now for the first time I am a muse...

I bring you to a social event... In the first chapter we saw a glimpse of the St. Petersburg ball, essentially from the street, through the window:

Shadows move across the solid windows...

In Chapter 8 we are at a social event. There is much that is attractive in the world:

You can admire the noisy crowd, the flickering of dresses and speeches, the slow appearance of guests before the young hostess, and the dark frame of men around you, as if around paintings.

The appearance of Onegin: he seems alien to everyone.

— Was Onegin a stranger to secular society? (No.)

- The world decided that he was smart and very nice. A whole series of questions appears. Who can ask them? Author? Regular at social events?

Where has he been for three years? With this bewilderment we can compare the words of Molchalin: “How surprised we were! If only you could serve with us in Moscow!”

- Rumors about him. (“Makes a weirdo.”) Who will he appear? (INthe highest society is accustomed to non-humans, and “decorously pulled masks,” and those who are not like themcountries-we are unclear.)

- What advice do they give to Onegin? ( They advise him“be a kind fellow like everyone else.”)

- Is Onegin familiar to the world? (Yes, he spent eight yearsHere. But there was something about him that wasn't quite right before.everyone, and now? “That conversations are too frequent //We are happy to accept business // That stupidity is flightyand evil, // That the eyes of important people are important // And thatmediocrity alone // We can handle even non-countrieson the?" “Silent people are blissful in the world”; idealmediocrity: “Blessed is he who was young from his youth,// Blessed is he who matures in time, // Who graduallythe cold of life // I was able to endure the years; //Whodid not indulge in strange dreams, // Who are the secular rabbledid not shy away, // About whom they have been repeating for a whole century: // NN pre-red man"; Pushkin's conviction: one cannot betraylose youth! “It’s unbearable to see before you // One-there is a long row of them, // Looking at life asritual"; excerpts from Onegin's journey will be answeredto the question of what cargo he arrived with in the fall of 1824. Route: Moscow - Nizhny Novgorod - Astra-Han - CaucasusCrimea - Odessa. Onegin introduceswith my homeland.)

Conclusion: Onegin comes to St. Petersburg renewed.

- Why did Onegin, like Chatsky, get from the ship to the ball? (Irreconcilable hostility towards society, in Onegina deep inner life that was not there before.)

On the board is the topic of the lesson:

“TATYANA AND EUGENE IN CHAPTER VIIINOVEL. MORAL PROBLEMS OF THE NOVEL “EUGENE ONEGIN”

- And now a new meeting of heroes takes place. Tatyana appears, and Onegin does not recognize her and recognizes her. As Pushkin describes, what was Tatyana like, what did she do without? (She was leisurely, // Not cold,not talkative, //Without an insolent look for everyone, //Without pre-aspirations for success, // Without these little antics, //No imitative ideas...)

-Why is Onegin, who did not fall in love with Tatiana in the village, now overwhelmed by such an all-consuming passion? (The heroes have changed, Onegin is now updatedcan appreciate the depth of Tatyana’s soul.)

— What has changed in Tatyana? (She learned to "power"“behave yourself”, as Evgeniy once advised herThat.) Why is Onegin so attracted to her?

- What about Evgeniy? ( What about him? What country is he in?nom dream? // What stirred in the depths // Souls want-hungry and lazy?//Annoyance? Vanity?Or again// The concern of youth is love?)
What's happening to him? How has he changed?

Expressive recitation of Onegin's letter. What hero do we see in the letter? What feelings are they experiencing?

Listening to an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's opera "Eugene Onegin".
Your impression. How does music and stage acting help to understand the characters and convey feelings?
Teacher's word.

— The compositional scheme of the novel is simple. The main characters switch roles towards the end of the book:

1. SHE loves HIM - HE doesn’t notice HER. SHE writes HIM a letter - listens to HIS sermon.

2. HE loves HER - SHE does not notice HIM. HE writes HER letters - listens to HER confession (sermon, rebuke).

But this simple construction only emphasizes the complexity of human experiences, which outwardly fit into such a simple scheme. How much more beautiful is Onegin’s feeling!

- He turned to books again, as in his youth. The range of reading very definitely tells the reader, a contemporary of A.S. Pushkin: Gibbon, Rousseau, Gorder, Madame de Stael, Belle, Fontenelle—philosophers, educators, scientists. These are not two or three novels,

which reflected “the century and modern man beloved by Onegin before. This is a reading circle for de-cabrists, people striving for action.”

-But this is not enough. Now everything that was inaccessible to him three years ago is revealed to Onegin.

The poet, a friend of his heroes, wishes them happiness with all his heart. But happiness is impossible. There is controversy about the ending of the novel. Different points of view appear, each of which is based in its own way on the text of the novel. In addition, each generation reads Pushkin in its own way.

Eight years after Pushkin’s death, in 1845, V.G. Belinsky wrote his famous articles about “Eugene Onegin”. 80s. Due to

With the opening of the monument in Moscow in 1880, F. M. Dostoevsky delivered a speech at a meeting of the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature, in which he expressed his interpretation of the ending of the novel.

Assignment: Read thoughts about the ending of the novel and the images of Tatiana and Onegin
famous Russian writers: Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky and Fedor
Mikhailovich Dostoevsky
. Work in groups. Write out abstracts from the articles. which express the thoughts and attitudes of critics towards the ending of the novel and the images of the characters.

The tragedy of Chapter VIII is that Tatyana did not understand Onegin and his love. A democrat, a man of the 40s, Belinsky put the freedom of the human person above all else; he condemns Tatyana for sacrificing her love for the sake of loyalty to her husband, whom she does not love, but only respects.

F. M. Dostoevsky:“Tatiana is the ideal of a woman, the ideal of a person. Her behavior in Chapter 8 is the embodiment of moral perfection, because What“...can a person base his own happiness on the misfortune of another? Happiness does not lie in the pleasures of love alone. And also in the highest harmony of spirit. How can you calm the spirit if behind you stands an unhappy, merciless, inhuman act? Should she run away just because my happiness is here? But what kind of happiness can there be if it is based on someone else’s misfortune?... No: the pure Russian soul decides this way: “Let, let me alone be deprived of my happiness, let, finally, no one ever... know my sacrifice and will not appreciate it. But I don’t want to be happy by ruining someone else!”
Conclusion. Belinsky and Dostoevsky judge the actions of the heroes differently. Which of them is more convincing, more accurately understands the motives of Tatyana’s action in relation to Onegin and her own feelings? Why does Tatyana reject Onegin?
1 Research work.

To answer these questions, let's look again at verbs.
Watch Tatiana's monologue, find the verbs, determine the tense. Why Tatyana,
when explaining himself to Onegin in the present, when he talks about himself, he uses
exclusively past tense verbs?
Light did not spoil, did not ruin Tatyana, her soul remained the same, although during these three years she did not remain the same as she was.

- If Onegin has changed internally, then Tatyana has changed more externally. She matured, became more restrained, calmer, learned to protect her soul from the gaze of others. And this external restraint, with the same inner wealth, the same spiritual beauty that she possessed in her youth, attracts Onegin to her even more.

- Previously, happiness was not possible because Onegin did not know how to love. Happiness is only possible now with the renewed Onegin, but (too late!) Tatyana does not consider herself entitled to sacrifice her husband’s happiness for the sake of her own happiness.

In March 1825, having lost hope of personal happiness, Onegin was left alone in St. Petersburg. In the main text of the novel, Onegin remains at a crossroads - and the reader, along with him, once again thinks: what is life? How should we live? Where to go? Whom to love? With whom and for what to fight?

Summing up the lesson.

Why does Chapter VIII cause the most controversy and interpretation? (Pushkin does not provide psychologicalthe basis of events, actions, facts.)

At the end of the novel, both main characters are worthy of the readers' sympathy. If one of them could be called “negative,” then the novel would not have a truly tragic sound. Love for an unworthy being can give rise to very sad situations, but it does not become such a source of tragedy as the mutual love of two people worthy of happiness when this happiness is completely impossible.

Onegin at the end of the novel is not a romantic “demon” with a prematurely aged soul. He is full of thirst for happiness, love and the desire to fight for this happiness. His impulse is deeply justified and evokes the reader's sympathy. But Tatyana -... a person of a different type: she tends to give up happiness in the name of higher moral values. Her spirituality is full of true spiritual beauty, which both the author and readers admire. It is precisely the fact that both heroes, each in their own way, are worthy of happiness that makes the impossibility of happiness for them deeply tragic.

But who will finally explain to us the novel by A. S. Pushkin? Who will interpret Onegin in such a way that there is nothing to add? We must hope that no one. May this book live forever, and may each new generation find something of its own in it. Very important for him.

*A task for those who think.

1. Was it possible for a happy reunion between Onegin and Tatyana? An essay is a reflection. Excerpt by heart (Onegin's letter).

2. Research work: “What role can grammatical categories play in a literary text? (A.S. Pushkin
"Eugene Onegin")".

Good luck in the lesson!

The nineteenth century is rightly called the golden age of Russian poetry, and I would also call it the golden age of prose. Among the constellation of names, for many the closest and dearest is the name of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Each person has his own life, his own destiny, but there is something that unites all people. In my opinion, these are, first of all, human feelings and aspirations, the search for oneself. It is about this, close to each of us, that Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin wrote in his works; he tried to reach the hearts of his readers, trying to convey to them all the beauty and depth of human feelings. When you read Pushkin, many questions arise, but the main thing that worries the reader is the eternal problems of good and evil, love and friendship, honor, decency, nobility.
My favorite work by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is “Eugene Onegin”. Everyone tends to find in this novel something dear, unique, sometimes understandable only to him, but what moral ideals of the author himself can be found here?
Despite the fact that the novel is called “Eugene Onegin,” the main character, in my opinion, is the author himself. Indeed, in comparison with Evgeny Onegin, the spiritual world of the lyrical hero, his attitude to life, to work, to art, to a woman is higher, purer, more significant. Eugene Onegin's life, full of social entertainment, bores him. For him, love is “the science of tender passion”; He's tired of the theater, he says:
It's time for everyone to change, I put up with ballets for a long time, But I'm tired of Didelot too.
For Pushkin, the theater is a “magical land.”
In his poetic novel, Pushkin touches on the issue of honor. Onegin goes to the village, where he meets Lensky. In an effort (for fun) to tease his friend, Onegin courts Lensky's girlfriend. Lensky, in the heat of jealousy, challenges him to a duel - an opportunity to defend his tarnished honor. For Onegin it is a convention; he would not have gone to shoot himself if it were not for the opinion of the world, which would have condemned him for his refusal. Lensky dies. Pushkin shows how a person's life becomes cheaper than gossip.
Onegin goes on a journey that greatly changes him. There is a revaluation of values. He becomes a stranger to the world where a few years ago he belonged. Onegin fell in love with a woman. For Pushkin, love is a moral value; he devoted so many beautiful lines to this feeling. Let us remember his poem “I remember a wonderful moment...”:
The soul has awakened:
And then you appeared again,
Like a fleeting vision
Like a genius of pure beauty.
Love for Pushkin is a sacred feeling. The love that awakened in Evgeniy is a clear indication of how Evgeniy has changed. But the woman he loves remains with someone else - this is Onegin’s severe punishment.
But the moral ideal in the novel for Pushkin is Tatyana Larina. From the first lines dedicated to her, we feel the author’s sympathy for her, her kind and sensitive heart:
I love so much
My dear Tatiana.
We will not find a description of Tatyana’s appearance in the novel; the author speaks only about her pure and beautiful soul, only the heroine’s inner world is important to him. He creates Tatyana as sweet and sensitive; her attachment to her family and friends and understanding of the beauty of nature are important to him. Only the world around us can give a person inspiration and peace.
Tatiana falls in love with Evgeny Onegin. “Tatyana loves in earnest,” says Pushkin about his heroine. She carries this love throughout her life, but she cannot sacrifice her husband’s happiness for her loved one. Tatyana explains her refusal to Evgeny Onegin as follows:
But I was given to someone else;
I will be faithful to him forever.
Good is answered with good - this is the eternal truth. Tatyana is close to this folk wisdom. And that’s probably why Pushkin calls it “Russian soul.”
“Take care of your honor from a young age” - this is the epigraph of A. S. Pushkin’s story “The Captain’s Daughter”. The father gives the same instruction to his son Pyotr Andreevich Grinev, sending him to serve. The father himself is trying not to lead his son astray from the right path, sending him not to St. Petersburg, where the young man could go astray by starting to drink and play cards, but sends him to a small fortress, where he could honestly serve the fatherland and strengthen his soul , after all, Pyotr Andreevich Grinev is only seventeen years old. Pushkin in Father Grinev shows those traits that are valued in people of the old school, in people of the 18th century. The meaning of Andrei Petrovich Grinev’s life is that a person, under any trials, should not make a deal with his conscience. He believes that the goal of every man’s life is honest service for the good of the Fatherland.
In “The Captain's Daughter” we meet a lot of heroes for whom the principle “Take care of honor from a young age” is the main thing in life. For Pushkin, the concept of “honor” is associated with loyalty to friends and duty. We see how Grinev, being captured by Pugachev, says directly to his eyes: “I am a natural nobleman; I swore allegiance to the Empress: I cannot serve you.”
Maria Ivanovna, Grinev's fiancée, who faints when a cannon fires in honor of her mother's name day, does not make a deal with her conscience; she rejects the offer of the traitor Shvabrin, who takes the opportunity and offers to take her out of the fortress if she marries him.
We see how in all the heroes Pushkin embodies his moral ideal: loyalty to duty and word, incorruptibility, the desire to help a friend or loved one.
It seems to me that Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin believes that the principle “good is answered with good” is one of the many folk wisdoms. This wisdom is very close to him. Grinev, trying to save his bride, comes to Pugachev’s camp. Pugachev remembers the good (Grinev met Pugachev even before the start of the uprising and gave him a sheepskin coat) and lets him go with Marya Ivanovna. While being held captive by Pugachev, Grinev hears a song about the Tsar and the robber. The robber, like Grinev, honestly admits to the Tsar what he did, Grinev tells Pugachev about his intention to serve Catherine P. The Tsar executes the criminal, and Pugachev releases the prisoner.
I talked about only two works by A.S. Pushkin. Like every person, he had his own view of what was happening, he sought to find an answer to the questions that worried his contemporaries, but there is no time frame for Pushkin’s works; he is interesting to all ages. The moral ideals of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin - loyalty to duty, friends, purity of soul, honesty, kindness - these are universal human values ​​on which the world rests.

What are the moral and philosophical issues of the novel "Eugene Onegin"? and got the best answer

Reply from Lisa[active]
Analyzing the novel by A. S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin”, V. G. Belinsky wrote: “Onegin is Pushkin’s most sincere work, the most beloved child of his imagination, and one can point to too few creations in which the poet’s personality would be reflected with such completeness , light and clear how Pushkin’s personality was reflected in Onegin.”
The novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" poses many philosophical and moral problems. One of them is the problem of happiness and debt.
This problem is most clearly illuminated in the final explanation of Eugene Onegin with Tatyana Larina.
Their farewell meeting takes place in Moscow, in the house of Tatyana’s husband. Onegin meets Larina in Moscow, but now she is no longer a “district young lady” in whom “everything is outside, everything is free,” but an “indifferent princess,” “a legislator.” And it is with this person that Onegin falls in love, hoping that he will be able to return the old Tatyana to her. Evgeny writes her a letter with a declaration of love, but receives no answer. He gradually withers and finally decides to find out everything once and for all. It is at this moment that the final explanation occurs.
This scene is the climax of the novel. There is a denouement in it. If earlier Onegin talked to Tatyana from above as if he were a little girl, now they have switched roles.
For the first time, Onegin thinks that his worldview is wrong, that it will not give him peace and what he ultimately achieves. “I thought: freedom and peace are a substitute for happiness,” Onegin admits to Tatyana, beginning to realize that true happiness lies in the desire to find a soul mate.
He understands that all his foundations have been shaken. The author gives us hope for the moral revival of Onegin.
"Eugene Onegin" is a philosophical novel, a novel about the meaning of life. In it, Pushkin raised the problems of existence, reflected on what good and evil are. And if Onegin’s life is meaningless, he sows evil, death, indifference around himself, then Tatyana is an integral, harmonious person, and she sees the meaning of her life in love, in fulfilling her duty to her husband. Having come to terms with the harsh laws of life that deprived a person of happiness, Tatyana was forced to fight for her dignity, showing in this struggle uncompromisingness and her inherent moral strength; this is precisely what Tatyana’s moral values ​​consisted of. Tatyana is the heroine of conscience.
Tatyana appears in the novel as a symbol of fidelity, kindness, and love. Everyone has long known that happiness for women lies in love, in caring for one’s neighbor.

Answer from Elena Zhmareva[guru]
It is difficult to say whether Pushkin suffered from such naive didacticism as Belinsky attributes to him. Sexless Tatiana and demonic Onegin are quite in the spirit of the poster “furious Vissarion”! “A habit has been given to us from above, it is a substitute for happiness,” “Blessed is he who was young from his youth, blessed is he who matured in time” - these aphorisms illustrate the change in the value system over the course of a person’s life. That passion that could fill the life of 16 or 18-year-old Tatyana no longer seems so fatal to a married woman who SLEEPS with a man and has an idea of ​​​​the intimate side of love. On the one hand, fleeting meetings with Onegin and unclear dreams, on the other, a position in society and a loving husband. So it’s still a question of what prevailed - DUTY or simple COMMON SENSE, not burdened with lightweight nonsense about the “old cemetery” and “the noise of the branches above the nanny.”
