Evgeniy Onegin meeting in the garden. The final explanation of Tatiana and Onegin in novel A

The scene of the explanation of Tatiana and Onegin in the eighth chapter is the denouement of the novel, its logical conclusion. This chapter tells about the events that occurred several years after the death of Lensky, which to some extent separated the heroes. They meet again at the ball. The reader learns that Tatyana is now a married lady, from a provincial girl she has turned into a society lady, a “legislator of the hall,” although she still retains her individuality: “She was not in a hurry, not cold, not talkative, without an insolent look for everyone , Without pretensions to success, Without these little antics, Without imitative undertakings... Everything was quiet, it was just in her...” Onegin does not even immediately recognize her at the ball. But he himself has remained virtually unchanged over the years: “Having lived without a goal, without work, Until the age of twenty-six, Languishing in the inactivity of leisure, Without service, without a wife, without business, I didn’t know how to do anything.”

The characters seem to have switched roles. Now Onegin “spends day and night in melancholy thoughts of love...”. It would seem that Tatyana should be happy: now Onegin is in love with her and is suffering. But she does not reveal her feelings either at the first meeting (“Hey, she! It’s not like she shuddered, Or suddenly became pale, red... Her eyebrow didn’t move; She didn’t even purse her lips.”), nor subsequently, when Onegin confesses his feelings to her in a letter (“She doesn’t notice him, No matter how he fights, even if he dies”); on the contrary, she is indignant:

How harsh!
Doesn't see him, doesn't say a word to him;
Uh! how surrounded you are now
She is Epiphany cold!
How to keep your anger at bay
Stubborn lips want!
There is only a trace of anger on this face...
Unable to stand the wait, Onegin goes to Tatyana’s house and what does he see?
The princess is in front of him, alone,
Sits, not dressed, pale,
He's reading some letter
And quietly tears flow like a river,
Leaning your cheek on your hand.
Oh, who would silence her suffering
I didn’t read it in this quick moment!
Tatyana continues to love Evgeny, she herself admits this to him. In the third chapter, the author writes, talking about her feelings for Onegin: “The time has come, she fell in love.” It would seem that this feeling of first love should have passed quickly, because Evgeny did not reciprocate her feelings; moreover, knowing about Tanya’s love, he courted Olga on her name day. Even Eugene's sermon in the garden did not affect Tatiana's feelings.
What prevents the heroine from reciprocating Oneginugin’s feelings now? Maybe she is not sure of the sincerity of his feelings? Tatyana asks Onegin:

Why are you persecuting Me now?

Why are you keeping me in mind?

Is it not because in high society

Now I must appear;

That I am rich and noble,

That the husband was maimed in battle,

Why is the court caressing us?

Not because it's my shame.

Now everyone would notice

And I could bring it in society

Do you want a tempting honor?

Don't think. Tatyana is a whole person. Although she was brought up on French novels (“She liked novels early; They replaced everything for her; She fell in love with the deceptions of Richardson and Rousseau”), the concepts of “family” and “marital fidelity” are not simple words for her. Although she does not love her husband, her moral principles do not allow her to cheat on him:

I got married. You must,
I ask you to leave me;
I know it's in your heart
And pride and direct honor.
I love you (why lie?),
But I was given to another;
I will be faithful to him forever.

The author stops the story about the heroes and says goodbye to them (“Forgive... my strange companion, And you, my faithful ideal...”). But the reader himself can easily imagine the fate of his favorite characters. I think that each of them - both Tatiana and Evgeniy - are unhappy in their own way: Tatiana doomed herself to life with an unloved husband; Onegin's soul was reborn, but too late. “And happiness was so possible, So close!..”

Tatyana Larina's response to Eugene Onegin's letter is one of the most important episodes of the novel in verse "" (1823-1831) by the Russian poet (1799-1837).

Tatyana Larina responded to Evgeniy Onegin’s letter during their personal meeting. This episode is described in Chapter 8 of the novel.

What happened in the relationship between Tatiana and Evgeny Onegin

At the beginning of the novel, Tatyana, having fallen in love with Eugene Onegin, wrote him a love letter (), but he rejected her love.

After killing Lensky in a duel, Evgeny Onegin leaves the village on a trip. After 2 years, in the fall of 1824, he returned to St. Petersburg. At one of the balls, Evgeny meets Tatiana. Tatiana has been married to Prince N, who is a friend and relative of Evgeniy, for 2 years.

Evgeny Onegin falls in love with Tatiana and writes her a letter in which he confesses his love ().

Tatiana also still loves Evgeniy. But she is already married and refuses Evgeny Onegin: .

Excerpt from Chapter 8 of the novel in verse "Eugene Onegin":

Is Onegin rushing? you in advance
You guessed it right; exactly:
He rushed to her, to his Tatyana
My uncorrected weirdo.
He walks, looking like a dead man.
There is not a single soul in the hallway.
He's in the hall; further: no one.
He opened the door. What about him
Does it strike with such force?
The princess is in front of him, alone,
Sits, not dressed, pale,
He's reading some letter
And quietly tears flow like a river,
Leaning your cheek on your hand.

Oh, who would silence her suffering
I didn’t read it in this quick moment!
Who is the old Tanya, poor Tanya
Now I wouldn’t recognize the princess!
In the anguish of insane regrets
Evgeniy fell at her feet;
She shuddered and remained silent,
And he looks at Onegin
Without surprise, without anger...
His sick, faded gaze,
A pleading look, a silent reproach,
She understands everything. Simple maiden
With dreams, the heart of former days,
Now she has risen again in her.

Tatiana's response to Evgeniy Onegin's letter

She doesn't pick him up
And, without taking my eyes off him,
Doesn't take away from greedy lips
Your insensitive hand...
What is her dream now?
A long silence passes,
And finally she quietly:
“That's enough, stand up. I must
You need to explain yourself frankly.
Onegin, do you remember that hour,
When in the garden, in the alley we
Fate brought us together, and so humbly
Have I listened to your lesson?
Today it's my turn.

“Onegin, I was younger then,
I think I was better
And I loved you; and what?
What did I find in your heart?
What answer? one severity.
Isn't it true? It wasn't news to you
Humble girl's love?
And now - God - the blood runs cold,
As soon as I remember the cold look
And this sermon... But you
I don't blame: at that terrible hour
You did a noble thing.
You were right before me:
I am grateful with all my heart...

“Then - isn’t it true? - in a desert,
Far from vain rumors,
You didn’t like me... Well now
Are you following me?
Why are you keeping me in mind?
Is it not because in high society
Now I must appear;
That I am rich and noble,
That the husband was maimed in battle,
Why is the court caressing us?
Isn't it because it's my shame
Now everyone would notice
And I could bring it in society
Do you want a tempting honor?

“I’m crying... if your Tanya
You haven't forgotten yet
Know this: the causticity of your abuse,
Cold, stern conversation
If only I had the power,
I would prefer offensive passion
And these letters and tears.
To my baby dreams
Then you had at least pity
At least respect for the years...
And now! - what's at my feet?
Brought you? what a small thing!
How about your heart and mind
To be a petty slave to feelings?

“And to me, Onegin, this pomp,
Life's hateful tinsel,
My successes are in a whirlwind of light,
My fashionable house and evenings,
What's in them? Now I'm glad to give it away
All this rags of a masquerade,
All this shine, and noise, and fumes
For a shelf of books, for a wild garden,
For our poor home,
For those places where for the first time,
Onegin, I met you,
Yes for the humble cemetery,
Where is the cross and the shadow of the branches today?
Over my poor nanny...

“And happiness was so possible,
So close!.. But my destiny
It's already decided. Carelessly
Perhaps I did:
me with tears of spells
The mother begged; for poor Tanya
All the lots were equal...
I got married. You must,
I ask you to leave me;
I know: in your heart there is
And pride, and direct honor.
I love you (why lie?),
But I was given to another;
I will be faithful to him forever.”

She left. Evgeniy stands,
As if struck by thunder.
What a storm of sensations
Now he's heartbroken!
But a sudden ringing of spurs rang out,
And Tatyana’s husband showed up,
And here is my hero,
In a moment that is evil for him,
Reader, we will now leave,
For a long time... forever... Behind him
Quite we are on the same path
Wandered around the world. Congratulations
Each other with the shore. Hooray!
It’s long overdue (isn’t it?)!

At the center of the novel “Eugene Onegin” is a love story, a story of failed happiness. Moreover, the love plots of the heroes are compositionally symmetrical: Tatiana’s love, her letter, the explanation of Onegin and Tatiana in the garden - and Onegin’s love, his letter, the explanation of the heroes in the prince’s house. In these stories, the characters of the characters, their way of thinking, their inner world, dreams and thoughts are most fully revealed.

Having received Tatiana’s letter, Onegin “was keenly touched by Tanya’s message.” His reaction in this situation could be quite definite and predictable. However, he does not for a moment allow the opportunity to take advantage of her naivety and inexperience. And in this regard, he is noble: he is far from thinking about easy, non-binding flirting. But in the same way, the hero is far from the thought of genuine, true love.

Reading a stern “sermon” to Tatyana, Onegin tries to be sincere and objective. He objectively evaluates his character, habits, and lifestyle. However, in the very objectivity of this assessment, skepticism creeps in every now and then. Onegin experienced everything in life, learned everything in it. Friends and friendship, social pleasures, balls, women, flirting - all this quickly bored him. He saw secular marriages and was probably disappointed in them. Marriage for him is now not bliss, but torment. Onegin is unconditionally sure that there is no place for love in his heart:

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...

The hero considers himself an excellent expert on female psychology. Being captive of habitual stereotypes, he thinks that he has recognized Tatyana’s nature, her character:

The young maiden will change more than once
Dreams are easy dreams;
So the tree has its own leaves
Changes every spring.
So, apparently, it was destined by heaven.
Will you fall in love again...

V. Nepomniachtchi notes here the absurdity of comparing Tatyana with a “tree”. In terms of the hero, a person is compared to a tree, to inanimate nature. Usually this kind of comparison is used in a completely different context: by comparing it with a tree, they emphasize the stupidity of a person or his insensitivity. Onegin, on the contrary, here speaks of living, genuine feelings. Doesn't this comparison mean the hero's unconscious projection of his own (insensitive) worldview onto Tatyana's spiritual world?

Onegin prepared an unenviable fate for their future family:

What could be worse in the world?

Families where the poor wife

Sad about an unworthy husband,

Alone both day and evening;

Where is the boring husband, knowing her worth

(However, cursing fate),

Always frowning, silent,

Angry and coldly jealous!...

Evgeny is condescending and full of consciousness of his own superiority, generosity, nobility in his explanations with Tatyana. Refusing love, he feels like a wise and experienced man. In fact, Onegin had already “noticed” Tatiana, singled her out from everyone: “I would choose another, If I were like you, a poet.” As S. G. Bocharov notes, the relationship between Evgeny and Tatyana begins here. Onegin cannot yet recognize the vague, unclear feeling in his soul, guess it, give it a “clear definition.” But having received Tatiana’s letter, Onegin was “deeply touched”:

The language of girlish dreams

He was disturbed by a swarm of thoughts;

And he remembered dear Tatyana

And pale in color and dull in appearance;

And into a sweet, sinless sleep

He was immersed in his soul.

What about him? what a strange dream he is in!

What moved in the depths

A cold and lazy soul?

Onegin is “in a strange dream,” but his soul plunged into this dream earlier - when he first saw Tatyana.

However, Evgeny does not want to admit this. He does not even allow the thought of nascent love, mistaking his excitement for “ancient ardor of feelings.” “The feelings in him cooled down early,” Pushkin notes about his hero. And did these feelings really exist? Enjoying his youth and secular entertainment, Onegin succeeded only in the “science of tender passion.” Flirting, whirlwind romances, intrigue, betrayal, deceit - everything was present in the hero’s heartfelt arsenal. However, there was no place for sincerity:

How early could he be a hypocrite?

To harbor hope, to be jealous,

To dissuade, to make believe,

Seem gloomy, languish...

How he knew how to seem new,

Jokingly amaze innocence,

To frighten with despair,

To amuse with pleasant flattery,

Catch a moment of tenderness,

Innocent years of prejudice

Win with intelligence and passion...

Nowhere does it talk about love. Apparently, this feeling was inaccessible to Onegin. Social life was full of conventions, lies and falsehood - there was no place for pure, sincere feeling in it. In his explanation with Tatyana, Onegin is sincere for the first time in his life. And here is the paradox - the hero is deceived in his sincerity. Onegin here trusts only his reason and life experience, not trusting his soul.

Onegin not only forgot how to “hear” and understand those around him, he forgot how to “hear” himself. All the hero’s thoughts and conclusions during his explanation with Tatyana are unconditionally subordinated to his past life experience, locked in captivity of the stereotypes familiar to him. However, according to Pushkin, life is much broader, wiser, more paradoxical than the existing experience of one person. And the hero begins to realize this at the end of the novel.

Compositionally, the scene of Onegin’s explanation with Tatiana in the garden is the denouement of the plot associated with the image of Tatiana. Let's consider the language tools used here by the author.

Pushkin’s novel is divided into stanzas, which allows the reader “to feel where he is in the narrative, to feel the proportions of the plot and deviations from it.” The Onegin stanza is a stanza of fourteen verses of iambic tetrameter, it includes three quatrains (with cross, paired and sweeping rhymes) and the final couplet: AbAb VVgg DeeD zhzh (capital letters - female rhymes, small ones - masculine ones).

As M. L. Gasparov notes, the Onegin stanza provides “a fairly rich rhythm: moderate complexity - simplicity - increased complexity - extreme simplicity. The meaningful composition of Onegin’s stanza fits well into this rhythm: theme - development - climax - and aphoristic ending.” All these components are easily isolated in the stanzas of the fourth chapter. For example, the eleventh stanza. Here the theme (“Tanya’s message”), its development (“Onegin was vividly touched: The language of girlish dreams disturbed his thoughts in a swarm ...”), the climax (“Perhaps the feelings of the ancient ardor took possession of Him for a moment; But he deceived I didn’t want the gullibility of an innocent soul”), ending (“Now we will fly to the garden, Where Tatyana met him”).

Pushkin uses emotional, expressive epithets in this episode (“stormy delusions”, “unbridled passions”, “windy success”, “pale color”, “dull appearance”, “sweet, sinless dream”, “gullible soul”, “innocent love” ”, “pure, fiery soul”, “strict fate”, “light dreams”), metaphors (“The language of girlish dreams disturbed him with a swarm of thoughts”), periphrases (“what roses will Hymen prepare for us”). Here we find “high” vocabulary (“hearing”, “thoughts”, “virgin”, “said”), archaisms (“in the evening”, “unkindness”), words of “low”, colloquial style (“blame”, “ enrage"), Gallicism ("wist"), a definition derived from a literary term ("without madrigal spangles"), Slavicisms ("young", "around").

In this episode, Pushkin uses compound and complex sentences, introductory constructions (“believe me,” “it’s true b”), and direct speech.

There are practically no literary reminiscences here. As Yu. M. Lotman notes, to Tatyana’s letter, who is ready for both “happy dates and “death,” Onegin responds “not as a literary hero..., but simply as a well-bred secular... quite decent person” - Thus, Pushkin demonstrates “the falsity of all cliched plot schemes.”

Thus, the tragedy of Onegin is not only the tragedy of the “superfluous” man of his time. This is the tragedy of failed love, the drama of failed happiness.

The final explanation of Onegin and Tatiana. At the beginning of the novel, Onegin, meeting Tatyana, is deeply disappointed with life, therefore he reacts to Tatyana’s love nobly, but with caution, realizing that he is not capable of becoming a decent husband and father of the family, which is so encouraged in the same ill-fated society from which he wants to escape.

In Onegin, Pushkin presents primarily the spiritual and moral image of the noble intelligentsia of the Decembrist era. He personifies the product of that society, that era, but at the same time he strangely contradicts it.

This is the disappointment that is characteristic of the hero throughout the entire novel, in that which until recently so seduced him, but now no longer interests him, such a Russian melancholy, a feeling of the emptiness of life that oppresses and forces a person to return to his roots. In this case, Onegin goes to the village in order to escape from the noisy city life, which is so boring to him. And at the same time, he is a typical representative of the capital’s noble youth, the son of his environment, in which he feels like a fish in water. And it is difficult to say whether this is its advantage or disadvantage. At the very least, we can absolutely say that he stands at a high level of culture of his time, differing in this respect from most representatives of noble society.

And so time passed, the story of the duel, the absurd feeling for Tatyana, sank into oblivion, as Onegin himself thinks. He is 26 years old, he languishes “... in the inactivity of leisure \ Without service, without a wife, without business” and, returning from a trip, at a ball he meets a lady who seems familiar to him. Moreover, the beauty of this woman cannot be overshadowed even by the dazzling beauty of Nina Vronskaya. Evgeny is shocked.

Is it really the same Tatyana?

which he is alone with,

At the beginning of our romance

In a remote, distant place,

In the good heat of moralizing,

I once read instructions...

At the next meeting in the house of Tatiana's husband, Prince N., Onegin is irrevocably captivated by the new Tatiana. This is no longer a simple village girl, but an indifferent princess, the unapproachable goddess of the royal Neva. But she doesn't pay attention to him. Onegin writes a letter, but receives no answer. I must say that this letter has long become the favorite romance of many people.

But so that my life may last,

I have to be sure in the morning

That I will see you this afternoon...

Winter is passing. Meeting Tatyana fleetingly, Evgeniy sees that she is “surrounded by Epiphany cold.” He stops going out into the world, tries to read, but is haunted by visions: Lensky, whom he killed, and Tatyana sitting reading a book by the window. “Looking like a dead man,” Onegin comes to Tatyana. Having not met anyone in the hallway, he goes into the rooms and sees Tatyana in tears, reading his letter.

Oh, who would silence his suffering

I didn’t read it in this quick moment!

Who is the old Tanya, poor Tanya

Now I wouldn’t recognize the princess!

Onegin falls at her feet. The scene of the final explanation follows:

...I love you (why lie?),

But I was given to another;

I will be faithful to him forever.

Tatyana leaves, and Evgeny stands “as if struck by thunder.” Tatyana's husband enters, and here the author says goodbye to his hero - a strange companion - in "an evil moment for him", and Tatyana - a "true ideal."

Although Onegin, according to the author’s humorous remark, “learned something and somehow,” he still stands at a high level of the culture of his time, differing in his erudition from most of those around him. Pushkin's hero is a product of secular society, but at the same time alien and hostile to it. Alienation and opposition to the surrounding society do not appear immediately. At first, the young man plunges headlong into social life, finding joy and pleasure in it, but the monotony and emptiness of these “joys and pleasures” quickly bored him and, according to Belinsky, he “left the world, as too few have done.”

Onegin is too deep and rich in nature not to notice the vices of the world around him. There are many things that make him stand out from the crowd:

Involuntary devotion to dreams,

Inimitable strangeness

And a sharp, chilled mind.

With all the breadth of its themes, the novel “Eugene Onegin” is, first of all, an artistic study of the spiritual quests of advanced noble youth, their doubts and anxieties, aspirations and hopes. Work on the novel began during the years of social upsurge, and ended after the defeat of the Decembrists, in the atmosphere of the Nikolaev reaction. During the years of writing the novel, the author had to endure exile, lose many friends, and experience the bitterness of the death of the best people of Russia. Therefore, the first chapters are imbued with joyful, life-affirming moods, and in the last chapters tragic motives intensify. The novel was the fruit of “a mind of cold observations and a heart of sorrowful notes.” With his mind and “heart” the author tries to understand and present to the reader the spiritual and moral image of the best people of his time.

Romantic poets most often use love storylines in their works. After all, love is not only in books, it lives among us, people. Love interests and emotions are familiar to each of us. Therefore, it is interesting to read about love, it is interesting to read into the love experiences of the main characters, to feel for yourself all the emotions that arise between two dear hearts.

In the novel "" Pushkin builds several love lines. This is the relationship between Lensky and Olga. This is the relationship between Onegin and Tatiana.

Falls madly in love with a young man. She dreams about him, experiences an insane attraction and confesses her feelings. But Onegin does not reciprocate her feelings, although, years later, he greatly regrets it.

For the first time, young people meet and get to know each other in the village, where Onegin escapes from social life and the bustle of the city. There he meets the modest and quiet Tatyana. She was a rather lonely person, didn’t hang out with her girlfriends much and looked for the ideal man in the books and novels she read. And so, such an unusual young man appears on her life’s path. She writes a letter to Onegin and tells about all her emotions. Evgeniy replies in a few days. And he doesn’t please the girl with his mutual feelings.

Why is this happening? I think it’s all to blame for the society from which the young guy fled. He was spoiled by social evenings, he tried to maintain the mores of that society, he could not go against his environment. Therefore, hardened by his former life, Onegin did not see the pure and naive Tatyana, who was so in love with him.

It really touched Eugene, but he was never able to find within himself a feeling of love for the main character.

In his response letter, he finds hundreds of excuses, protects the girl from his picky nature, which may get tired of this whole love story after a while. Onegin thinks only about himself, he does not understand how different this girl is from those who consoled him in city society.

With his stupid arguments, he breaks Tatyana's heart. Tatyana doesn’t answer Evgeniy. Her first and purest love is rejected, her soul is split into pieces. The frankness and naivety of the village girl dealt an irreparable blow to her loving heart.

The history of the relationship between Tatiana and Evgeniy is quite tragic. Social influence made a revolution in their minds, therefore, the main characters were unable to build real, personal happiness.
