Attitude to love of Tatiana and Olga Larin. Comparison of two heroines - sisters Tatyana and Olga

Two sisters, Tatyana and Olga Larina are the heroines of the famous and beautiful work. But, despite their family ties, they are extremely different characters and not similar to each other. For the most part, the work reveals Tatiana’s worldview rather than Olga’s. The image of Olga helps to reveal and feel Tatyana’s entire inner world, the depth of her feelings and reasoning.

Olga is a frivolous and cheerful girl, while Tatyana is thoughtful and modest. She is silent and detached from the outside world, but at the same time she is sensitive and dreamy. The other sister was very flighty, and her inner world was empty.

Their differences are also visible in the attitude of the author himself towards each of the heroines. Alexander Sergeevich idolizes and respects Tatyana. And Olga, for all her sociability and cheerful disposition, quickly bores the author. She is not a negative character, but despite her external beauty, her soul was not filled with feelings and nobility.

In communication with secular society and even with their own family, there are also differences in girls. High society is absolutely alien to Tatyana, while her sister Olga is always drawn to it. Their differences in attitude towards society and family were visible already from childhood, when Tatyana did not want to play with the children, but sat dreamily by the window.

Olga had a very harmonious relationship with secular society and her peers. She was always into having fun and playing with her friends. Her social circle was always wide, and in this circle she belonged, so simple and understandable. The sisters also have many differences in their individual characteristics. Tatyana preferred quiet, solitary reflections to various amusements. This heroine was incomprehensible to society and at the same time tried to understand herself. Tatyana was often sad and daydreamed, which she did very well.

Olga preferred fun and was sweet, especially in appearance. However, these characteristics were often found in girls of her circle and age. Therefore, Olga was not individual and could quickly become boring, including to the author of the work. This is how two sisters in one work look like two different people. Their differences are visible to the naked eye. They are radically different and do not have an iota of similarity. The entire depth of Tatiana’s soul can be clearly seen against the background of Olga, who has only emptiness inside.

	Tatyana Larina	Olga Larina
Character	Tatyana is characterized by the following character traits: modesty, thoughtfulness, trepidation, vulnerability, silence, melancholy.	Olga Larina has a cheerful and lively character. She is active, inquisitive, good-natured.
Lifestyle	Tatyana leads a reclusive lifestyle. The best time for her is alone with herself. She loves to watch beautiful sunrises, read French novels, and think. She is closed, lives in her own inner world.	Olga loves to spend time in a fun and noisy company. She is easy and easy to communicate. The limited circle of friends does not prevent her from establishing contacts with people around her. Olga can support any topic of conversation, be it fashion, social news or social life.
Attitude towards love	Tatyana is the ideal of devotion and fidelity. Love for her is important, of paramount importance. She knows how to truly love. But love for her is not only feelings, it is also responsibility and duty. Tatyana, despite her real sincere feelings, remains true to her choice.	Olga's attitude towards love can be described as superficial and frivolous. Olga quickly falls in love and just as quickly can break up with a person and get carried away by another. Her feelings are shallow. However, Olga remains sincere with herself and does not go against her feelings.
Attitude to life and society	Tatyana Larina was definitely not satisfied with the events taking place around her. She lived as if out of her time. She did not like anything that was inherent in the society of that time: small talk, noisy balls, coquetry, flirting, fun and idleness. Therefore, Tatyana finds an outlet in dreams and daydreams. Only her own thoughts save her from the “vices” of society. Tatyana's whole life is in her thoughts, doubts, hesitations.	Olga Larina’s attitude towards life was formed under the influence of the traditions and “legends” that existed at that time. Constantly being in the epicenter of life, Olga quickly absorbed the frivolity and ambiguity characteristic of society. However, behind the mask of fun and simplicity, emptiness, limitation and disappointment were hidden.
The author's attitude towards the characters	The author is condescending towards Tatyana. She is ideal for him. Her modesty, mystery and some drama do not allow the author to part with the image of Tatyana throughout the entire novel. The inner world of Tatyana Larina, her life, experiences, feelings constantly keep both readers and the author in suspense.	The author treated the image of Olga rather ironically and biasedly. For him, Olga is an absolute mediocre girl of that time, of which there are many. The author quickly “forgets” about Olga after Lensky’s death. Olga Larina was no longer of interest to either the author or the readers.

Eugene Onegin Vladimir Lensky Age of the hero More mature, at the beginning of the novel in verse and during the acquaintance and duel with Lensky he is 26 years old. Lensky is young, he is not yet 18 years old. Upbringing and education He received a home education, which was typical for most nobles in Russia. The teachers “didn’t bother with strict morals,” “they scolded him a little for pranks,” or, more simply, spoiled the little boy. He studied at the University of Göttingen in Germany, the birthplace of romanticism. In his intellectual baggage [...]
A. S. Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” is an unusual work. There are few events in it, many deviations from the storyline, the narrative seems to be cut off halfway. This is most likely due to the fact that Pushkin in his novel poses fundamentally new tasks for Russian literature - to show the century and people who can be called heroes of their time. Pushkin is a realist, and therefore his heroes are not just people of their time, but also, so to speak, people of the society that gave birth to them, i.e. they are people of their own […]
“Eugene Onegin” is a well-known work by A.S. Pushkin. Here the writer realized his main idea and desire - to give an image of a hero of the time, a portrait of his contemporary - a man of the 19th century. Onegin's portrait is an ambiguous and complex combination of many positive qualities and great shortcomings. The image of Tatiana is the most significant and important female image in the novel. The main romantic storyline of Pushkin's novel in verse is the relationship between Onegin and Tatyana. Tatiana fell in love with Evgeniy [...]
Pushkin worked on the novel “Eugene Onegin” for over eight years - from the spring of 1823 to the autumn of 1831. We find the first mention of the novel in Pushkin’s letter to Vyazemsky from Odessa dated November 4, 1823: “As for my studies, I am now writing not a novel, but a novel in verse – a devilish difference.” The main character of the novel is Evgeny Onegin, a young St. Petersburg rake. From the very beginning of the novel, it becomes clear that Onegin is a very strange and, of course, special person. He was, of course, in some ways similar to the people [...]
It was no coincidence that the great Russian critic V. G. Belinsky called A. S. Pushkin’s novel “Eugene Onegin” “an encyclopedia of Russian life.” This is connected, of course, with the fact that not a single work of Russian literature can compare with the immortal novel in terms of the breadth of coverage of the writer’s contemporary reality. Pushkin describes his time, noting everything that was essential for the life of that generation: the life and customs of people, the state of their souls, popular philosophical, political and economic trends, literary preferences, fashion and […]
I would like to return again and again to Pushkin’s word and his wonderful novel in verse “Eugene Onegin”, which presents the youth of the 20s of the 19th century. There is a very beautiful legend. One sculptor sculpted a beautiful girl from stone. She looked so alive that she seemed ready to speak. But the sculpture was silent, and its creator fell ill from love for his wonderful creation. After all, in it he expressed his innermost idea of female beauty, invested his soul and was tormented that this […]
Pushkin's original intention for the novel Eugene Onegin was to create a comedy similar to Griboyedov's Woe from Wit. In the poet's letters one can find sketches for a comedy in which the main character was portrayed as a satirical character. During the work on the novel, which lasted more than seven years, the author’s plans changed significantly, as did his worldview as a whole. By its genre nature, the novel is very complex and original. This is a "novel in verse." Works of this genre are also found in other [...]
"Eugene Onegin" is a realistic novel in verse, because... in it, truly living images of Russian people of the early 19th century appeared before the reader. The novel provides a broad artistic generalization of the main trends in Russian social development. One can say about the novel in the words of the poet himself - this is a work in which “the century and modern man are reflected.” V. G. Belinsky called Pushkin’s novel “The Encyclopedia of Russian Life.” In this novel, like in an encyclopedia, you can learn everything about the era: about the culture of that time, about […]
Creating the image of his time and the man of his era, Pushkin in the novel “Eugene Onegin” also conveyed a personal idea of the ideal of a Russian woman. The poet's ideal is Tatyana. Pushkin speaks of her like this: “A dear ideal.” Of course, Tatyana Larina is a dream, a poet’s idea of what a woman should be like to be admired and loved. When we first meet the heroine, we see that the poet distinguishes her from other representatives of the nobility. Pushkin emphasizes that Tatyana loves nature, winter, and sledding. Exactly […]
Evgeny Onegin is the main character of the novel of the same name in poems by A. S. Pushkin. He and his best friend Vladimir Lensky appear as typical representatives of noble youth, who challenged the reality around them and became friends, as if united in the fight against it. Gradually, the rejection of the traditional ossified principles of the nobility resulted in nihilism, which is most clearly visible in the character of another literary hero - Yevgeny Bazarov. When you start reading the novel “Eugene Onegin”, then [...]

Katerina is pure in soul, she has a tender, sensitive, loving heart. The heroine herself is deeply hostile to this dark swamp, but is not fully aware of it. Katerina was born […]
Roman A.S. Pushkin introduces readers to the life of the intelligentsia at the beginning of the 19th century. The noble intelligentsia is represented in the work by the images of Lensky, Tatyana Larina and Onegin. By the title of the novel, the author emphasizes the central position of the main character among other characters. Onegin was born into a once rich noble family. As a child, he was away from everything national, isolated from the people, and Eugene had a Frenchman as his teacher. Eugene Onegin’s upbringing, like his education, had a very […]
Spiritual beauty, sensuality, naturalness, simplicity, the ability to sympathize and love - these are the qualities of A.S. Pushkin endowed the heroine of his novel “Eugene Onegin”, Tatyana Larina. A simple, outwardly unremarkable girl, but with a rich inner world, she grew up in a remote village, reads romance novels, loves her nanny’s scary stories and believes legends. Her beauty is within, it is deep and vibrant. The heroine's appearance is compared with the beauty of her sister, Olga, but the latter, although beautiful on the outside, is not […]
Pushkin's famous novel in verse not only fascinated lovers of Russian literature with its high poetic skill, but also caused controversy over the ideas that the author wanted to express here. These disputes did not spare the main character, Eugene Onegin. The definition of “superfluous person” has long been attached to him. However, even today it is interpreted differently. And this image is so multifaceted that it provides material for a wide variety of readings. Let’s try to answer the question: in what sense can Onegin be considered “superfluous […]
It has long been recognized that the novel “Eugene Onegin” was the first realistic novel in Russian literature. What exactly do we mean when we say “realistic”? Realism, in my opinion, presupposes, in addition to the truthfulness of details, the depiction of typical characters in typical circumstances. From this characteristic of realism it follows that truthfulness in the depiction of particulars and details is an indispensable condition for a realistic work. But this is not enough. Even more important is what is contained in the second part […]

Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin is a man of broad, liberal, “censored” views. It was hard for him, a poor man, to be in a secular hypocritical society, in St. Petersburg, with a palace sycophantic aristocracy. Away from the “metropolis” of the 19th century, closer to the people, among open and sincere people, the “descendant of the Arabs” felt much freer and “at ease.” Therefore, all of his works, from epic-historical ones, to the smallest two-line epigrams dedicated to the “people” breathe respect and […]
Masha Mironova is the daughter of the commandant of the Belogorsk fortress. This is an ordinary Russian girl, “chubby, ruddy, with light brown hair.” By nature she was cowardly: she was afraid even of a gun shot. Masha lived rather secluded and lonely; there were no suitors in their village. Her mother, Vasilisa Egorovna, spoke about her: “Masha, a girl of marriageable age, what is her dowry? - a fine comb, a broom, and an altyn of money, with which to go to the bathhouse. Well, if there is a kind person, otherwise you’ll sit yourself in girls forever [...]
The controversial and even somewhat scandalous story "Dubrovsky" was written by A. S. Pushkin in 1833. By that time, the author had already grown up, lived in a secular society, and became disillusioned with it and the existing government order. Many of his works dating back to that time were under censorship ban. And so Pushkin writes about a certain “Dubrovsky,” a young, but already experienced, disappointed, but not broken by everyday “storms,” a man of 23 years old. There is no point in retelling the plot - I read it and [...]
In literature class we studied the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila” by Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. This is an interesting work about the brave knight Ruslan and his beloved Lyudmila. At the beginning of the work, the evil sorcerer Chernomor kidnapped Lyudmila straight from the wedding. Lyudmila's father, Prince Vladimir, ordered everyone to find his daughter and promised the savior half the kingdom. And only Ruslan went to look for his bride because he loved her very much. There are many fairy-tale characters in the poem: Chernomor, the sorceress Naina, the wizard Finn, the talking head. And the poem begins […]

About Tatyana Larina, A.S.’s favorite heroine. Pushkin, the reader knows much more than about her sister Olga. These images are not antipodes, but they so accurately reflect the author’s attitude to the role of women in noble society that they are perceived only in comparison, less favorable for Olga than for Tatiana.

About the characters

Olga Larina- a literary character in the novel in verse “Eugene Onegin”, the younger sister of the main character of the work Tatyana Larina, a typical representative of the noble environment, who inherited her morals and moral values.

Tatyana Larina- the main character of the novel, who became the embodiment of the best human qualities and the moral ideal of the poet, who endowed her with exceptional virtues and integrity of character.

Comparison

They are almost the same age, raised in the same conditions, surrounded by the love and care of loved ones.

But Olga grew up as an ordinary girl, a little spoiled, but cheerful, eagerly perceiving the world around her in all its manifestations.

From an early age, Tatyana was distinguished by her reticence, did not like noisy games and entertainment, listened with pleasure to her nanny's stories about the old days, read the novels of Richardson and Rousseau, dreamed of romantic love and waited for her hero.

The meeting with Evgeny Onegin shocked Tatiana and awakened a deep feeling in her inexperienced heart. Love revealed in her extraordinary strength of character, fostered self-esteem, forced her to think, analyze, and make decisions.

Tatyana's simplicity and sincerity are not perceived as weakness. Only an extraordinary woman could preserve these qualities in the false splendor of palace halls, accepting secular flattery and the pompous arrogance of high society with equal indifference. This is exactly how Evgeny Onegin saw her years later, who did not consider in young Tatyana the spiritual subtlety and selfless readiness to share any fate with him.

Olga is also capable of love, but her feeling for Vladimir Lensky is neither deep nor dramatic. She is prone to coquetry and gladly accepts the advances of Onegin, who decided to annoy his friend for the awkward situation in which he had to explain himself to Tatyana, refusing her naive confession.

Lensky’s death did not overshadow Olga for long: a year later she got married and left her parents’ home quite happy.

Tatyana's marriage became a deliberate step: having no hope of Onegin's reciprocal feelings, she gave her consent to a man with undoubted merits. She learned to value and cherish her husband’s honor above all else, not wealth, not social splendor, but the honor of her husband, despite the emotional drama of which Eugene Onegin remained the hero.

Conclusions website

Tatyana is a deep person with strength of character and strong will. Olga perceives life superficially, easily endures shocks and values pleasures too much.
Tatyana reads, thinks, analyzes a lot. Olga loves entertainment, accepts male advances without a shadow of a doubt and does not show any inclination to seriously evaluate her actions.
For Tatyana, love is a test of mental strength. For Olga, it is a romantic feeling that does not leave a truly deep mark in her soul.
Tatyana is a bright personality, her merits are recognized by a demanding secular society. Olga is one of many, who does not attract the attention of others except for her appearance and easy disposition.

STATE OF MIND:

Tatyana: was withdrawn and silent, removed from society and even from her family: “she seemed like a stranger in her own family.” She liked peace and solitude more, in which she found a certain comfort, which was also decorated with her dreams. She was still a child at heart. She fell in love with the “deceptions of Richardson and Rousseau” - with novels that replaced everything for her. With their help, she created her own world, fictional and ideal, not like the real world.

She did not understand THEM and THEY did not understand her - Tatyana was completely different from secular girls. Having fallen in love with Onegin, she suffered, worried, suffered, like the heroine of the French novels on which Tatyana grew up.

Olga: When reading the description of Olga in the novel, an image of easy ease is created. She is always cheerful, “like the morning”; simple-minded, “like the life of a poet,” simple. Even her movements and voice were light, and she was characterized by “ruddy freshness.” However, Onegin believed that “Olga has no life in her features.” She was not alarmed by anything - Pushkin is not in the novel

talks about some of her mental anguish, tragedies. “Like windy hope, playful, carefree, cheerful.” At one ball, her frivolous attitude and frivolity, quite typical of many society ladies, are especially revealed: “Barely out of diapers, a coquette, a flighty child! She already knows cunning, she’s already learned to change.” Olga reacted quite simply to Lensky’s death: “Yawning, she did not cry for long. Alas! The young bride of her sadness is unfaithful. The other one caught her attention.” And soon she got married.

Tatyana: Pushkin loved her very much, he could not stop writing about her. Even if we compare the description, the poet gave a more voluminous description of the older sister, several times more than the younger one. Pushkin treated her very tenderly, with love and understanding: “Tatyana, dear Tatyana! With you now I shed tears.” And he admits, apologizing to the reader: “Forgive me, I love my dear Tatyana so much.”

Olga: In the very first lines of Olga’s description, Pushkin gives her a very pleasant description. However, he considers her flighty, frivolous, and eventually admits that he is very tired of her. Pushkin enclosed all her beauty in her appearance, but there was nothing left for her soul. She was not a bad person for the poet, he just saw her as empty.

COMMUNICATION, RELATIONS WITH SOCIETY:

Tatyana: The society to which her sister was drawn was alien to her. Since childhood, she “was a child herself; she didn’t want to play or jump in a crowd of children, and often sat alone all day silently by the window.” Even in the family, she felt like she didn’t belong; she didn’t consider the interests of society similar to her own. And “from the most lullaby days, thoughtfulness is her friend.” She was not looking for other friends.

Olga: She fit into secular society, was sociable, cheerful, in childhood the nanny gathered a wide circle of all her friends for Olga, they played happily. She belonged in this society, loved evenings, balls, was flirtatious with guys, friendly with her friends.

INDIVIDUALITY:

Tatyana: absolutely not like others. Even her name was used for the first time on the pages of a Russian novel. While others preferred fun, Tatyana chose solitude and reflection. She was incomprehensible to everyone, she tried to understand herself and life, she was often sad, she was “wild” (as the author writes) in the sense that “alien, unknown to people. She was an excellent dreamer.

Olga: Pushkin says that Olga is “as sweet as the kiss of love, eyes like the sky, blue, smile, flaxen curls, movements, voice, light figure - everything in Olga...” However, you will meet such a person in any novel, there are plenty of them, that’s why she Pushkin was immensely tired of it. He had met her more than once on the pages of books. Olga is the same as everyone else, influenced by public opinion and the desire to join secular society.

INTERESTS, FAVORITE ACTIVITIES, EDUCATION:

Olga: loved fun, holidays, balls, activities of the secular youth of that time, games and amusements, entertainment, fashion, girlfriends. Raised by society, adjusted to its laws.

Comparison of the Larin sisters in Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin"

The work of A.S. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin" tells about two completely different girls - Tatyana and Olga.

Olga is a cheerful, modest, cheerful girl. She is an obedient daughter, her parents love her very much. Lensky is madly in love with Olga. She reciprocates his courtship, but her love is fickle. When Lensky died, she did not grieve for long and soon got married.

Tatyana, on the contrary, is sad, silent, very withdrawn into herself. She is not like other girls. While everyone was embroidering, filling out albums, flirting with each other, Tatyana was reading novels and admiring nature. Unlike her sister, “she She seemed like a stranger to her own family. She did not settle down to caress her father or her mother." Tatyana was unrequitedly in love with Eugene for a long time. When Onegin finally realized that he loved Larina, she was already married to a noble man. Despite more preserved love for Evgeniy, Tatyana remained faithful to her husband.

In my opinion, both girls are good - they have never done anything bad to anyone. Pushkin also likes both heroines, but according to the author "... her portrait (Olga) is very sweet to me, I used to love him myself, but he tired me immensely. ..”Tayana, on the contrary, is supported by the author in every possible way, called “dear Tatyana.” Based on the above, it follows that Pushkin sympathizes with Tatyana Larina, despite, and perhaps even due to, her unusual behavior.
