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 fashion 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?)!

Final explanation 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 character noble intelligentsia 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 in this case Onegin goes to the village to escape from the noisy city life, which is so boring to him. And at the same time he is typical representative 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 it stands on high level 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. 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 nature so as not to notice the vices of the world around us. 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, artistic research 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 death the best people 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.



The fourth chapter of the novel by A.S. Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" was begun in 1824 and completed on January 6, 1826. To paraphrase the statement of literary critic G.O. Vinokur, we can say that this chapter is “a clearly felt structural unit of the novel.” The scene of Onegin's explanation with Tatiana carries an important psychological load. We don’t know how the fate of the heroes would have turned out if, for example, Evgeny had agreed to Tatyana’s letter.
The epigraph to the fourth chapter makes you think: “Morality is in the nature of things” Necker. Necker is one of the largest French bankers, an educator, and a friend of Voltaire.
What did Pushkin want to say with his epigraph? Many interpretations are possible. Perhaps the statement about morality is full of irony, or perhaps, on the contrary, the premise of the fourth chapter is quite serious. One thing is clear: in this chapter, moral problems are especially important for Pushkin.
Onegin's "sermon" is contrasted with Tatiana's letter. The meaning of his speech is precisely that he, unexpectedly for the heroine, did not behave like literary hero(“savior” or “seducer”), but simply as a well-bred secular and, moreover, quite honest man, who “acted very nicely to sad Tanya.” By this he discouraged the romantic heroine, who was ready for “happy dates”, for “death”, but not for translating her feelings into the framework of a decent secular behavior. Onegin’s cold “rebuke” destroyed the possibility of a literary novel cliche. It is opposed to a law that lies outside literature, independent of life.
So, a beautiful, proud, sublime girl offers Onegin her love, and he runs away from her. In the name of what?
... But I am not created for bliss,
My soul is alien to him...
But man was created for happiness, and Onegin rejects it. True, he blurts out:
... I found my former ideal,
I have chosen the right one in you...
Onegin is too infected with the views of high society:
No matter how much I love you,
Once I get used to it, I’ll stop loving it immediately...
But I believe that the main trouble of the hero is not this, but that the light killed faith in his soul, the hope of its return:
There is no return to dreams and years,
I will not renew my soul...
This is the tragedy of the painful conversation for both, that it is not Tatiana’s inexperience that will lead to trouble, but Onegin’s experience! Tatyana could not help but believe Evgeniy, but the trouble is that she does not know the one she fell in love with. He simply does not believe in happiness due to his emptiness... That’s how two people parted, separated, unhappy. Let their fate be the judge...
Reading Onegin’s monologue, you catch yourself thinking that dialogue is still implied here. Yes, Tatyana is silent, but this is only external silence. Her soul alternately screams and quietly prays. The reader feels her condition. Tatyana answers Evgeny, but these are like remarks to herself, they are guessed, we feel Tatyana’s emotional perception of Onegin’s “confession”. He says: “Your sincerity is dear to me,” and a spark of hope lights up in Tatyana’s heart. But then it’s like a stream of ice water: “Learn to control yourself.” And there is no hope, it died as soon as it was born.
The author empathizes with “Dear Tatyana”:
Through tears, seeing nothing,
Barely breathing, no objections,
Tatyana listened to him.
And how subtly her state is conveyed in moments of emotional excitement: “she leaned sadly, bowing her head languidly.”
The vocabulary of the scene of Onegin’s explanation with Tatiana captivates with its high nobility: “confession of a trusting soul,” “silenced feelings,” “captivated.” Involuntarily, the excitement of the hero who utters such words is conveyed so clearly, as if you were in that garden and accidentally became a witness to the explanation. It’s a pity that in the 21st century young people do not express their feelings this way.
Carefully thought out vocabulary is not the only successful technique of the author of the novel. The phrases of the work are so refined that some of them have become catchphrases: “There is no return to dreams and years,” “Learn to control yourself,” “Inexperience leads to disaster.”
In the passage we find a comparison:
The young maiden will change more than once
Dreams are easy dreams;
So the tree has its own leaves
Changes every spring.
Here are examples of epithets: “pure, fiery soul”, “light dreams”. All these artistic techniques together with the famous “Onegin stanza”, they made it possible to create one of the brightest pages of the novel.
In my opinion, the scene of Onegin and Tatyana’s explanation in the novel by A.S. Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" is an example of beautiful love lyrics.

The novel by A.S. Pushkin “Eugene Onegin” is a work central plot which is the love of Tatiana and Evgeniy. Different fate these heroes, different upbringings could not interfere with the feeling. Tatyana completely surrenders to love, dreams of Onegin, experiences a truly deep and bright feeling for him. Onegin rejects the girl, although many years later he will regret it... Sad story about a man and a woman who were hindered by something and who did not fight for their happiness.

Onegin and Tatyana meet in the village where main character comes to visit his uncle. The girl, feeling lonely next to her loved ones, finds Evgeniy a person close to her. Unable to bear the waiting and languor, she writes him a letter in which she confesses young man in your feelings. I had to wait several days for an answer. The episode being analyzed is the meeting between Tatiana and Onegin, during which Eugene gives an “answer” to the girl in love.

Explanation of heroes - climax, most important stage in their relationship. Why does Eugene reject love? I think it’s not just that he didn’t love Tatyana. Looking ahead, we can say that the writer sees the culprit of all troubles secular society, more precisely, its morals and customs. And who, if not Pushkin, would know about the customs of that time? No wonder he calls Onegin his “old friend.” The author knows so well all the habits and thoughts of his hero that one cannot help but feel that in the contradictory image of Onegin, in the description of his way of life, Pushkin to some extent expressed himself.
Evgeny, suffering from “the blues” and “boredom”, fed up with metropolitan life, replacing feelings with the “science of tender passion”, could not appreciate the pure soul of Tatyana, madly in love with a person close to her in spirit.

After a moment of silence, Onegin begins his speech. The girl’s letter touched him, but, alas, did not arouse a reciprocal feeling:

Your sincerity is dear to me;

She got excited

Feelings long gone

Evgeniy says that he is not worthy of Tatiana. He believes that love, like everything else in his life, will quickly get boring and become boring. Without even trying to sincerely imagine your future with loving wife, he rejects Tatyana, coming up with a thousand excuses and justifications, depicting family life:

Marriage will be torment for us.

No matter how much I love you,

Once I get used to it, I’ll stop loving it immediately.

During his entire speech, Onegin speaks and thinks only about himself. It is not the first time for him to utter such words: past fleeting hobbies, capital ladies... He has not yet realized that Tatyana is better than all of them, knows how to truly love for human qualities, and not for position in society. Giving her his reasons, Onegin did not understand that he was breaking the girl’s heart, bringing her pain and suffering, although he could have given her happiness and joy.

Tatyana did not answer Evgeniy:

Through tears, seeing nothing,

Barely breathing, no objections,

Tatyana listened to him.

First love is the brightest feeling. And the saddest thing is if it doesn’t find reciprocity. Tatiana's dreams are broken, love is losing its bright colors. Inexperienced girl, raised in the countryside, adoring sentimental French novels, dreamy and impressionable, did not expect to be rejected. Tatiana's frankness and her romantic letter to the object of her adoration sets her apart from other girls. She was not afraid to express her feelings, was not afraid of the future and completely surrendered to the feeling.
Onegin was the best for her: mature, intelligent, congenial, desirable. But his years and intelligence played a trick on Tatyana cruel joke. Trusting his mind too much and not his heart, Onegin does not want to change himself and his life for the sake of love.

Eugene's next meeting with the girl will take place on her name day, some time later. Here there will be a conflict between Onegin and Lensky because of Olga.

The love of Tatyana Larina and Evgeny Onegin, described in the novel by A.S., is tragic. Pushkin "Eugene Onegin". Moreover, this love suffers two fiascoes: the first through the fault of the hero, the second through the fault of the heroine. The society in which they lived put its own limits and obstacles on their path to happiness, and they could not go against everyone for the sake of pure and bright love, voluntarily condemning themselves to eternal torment.
