Analysis of the image of Tatyana Larina. The ideal image of the heroine in the novel "Eugene Onegin"

Pushkin is a poet whose work is extremely accessible to human understanding. The clarity of images and harmony of his works have educational significance. His lyre awakens good feelings in people. No matter what he describes, no matter what he talks about, in his lines one can feel the love for people and life.

“Eugene Onegin” is one of the poet’s iconic works. The form of this work is unusual and complex. This is a novel in verse; there have been no works of this kind in Russian literature before.

"Eugene Onegin" is a source of ideas about Russian life of the Pushkin period. One of the central figures of the novel is Tatyana, the daughter of the Larins landowners.

By showing the image of Tatyana, the only integral character in the novel, Pushkin demonstrates a real phenomenon in Russian life.

"...Thoughtfulness, her friend
From the most lullabies of days
The flow of rural leisure
I decorated her with dreams..."

Tatyana lives among ordinary people who are unfamiliar with the noise and bustle of the big world. They are naive and sweet in their own way.

Tatyana is drawn to someone whom she has not yet met, but who would be smarter, better, kinder than those around her. She mistakes her neighbor, landowner Evgeny Onegin, for such a person. Over time, sweet Tatiana falls in love with him.

He is truly smarter than those around her, more knowledgeable and reasonable. He is capable of good deeds (he alleviated the plight of his serfs):

“Our Evgeniy first conceived
Establish a new order.
Vintage corvee yoke
Replaced it with easy quitrent, -
And the slave blessed fate..."

But Onegin is far from ideal. Tatyana has not yet recognized this. He is an idle gentleman, lazy, spoiled by life, uneducated, not knowing what to do, because he has no mental strength for a fruitful life, and an empty life gnaws at him with melancholy.

Tatyana writes a letter to him, declaring her love. But Onegin cannot cope with his egoism; he does not accept her spiritual impulses.

After Onegin leaves the village, Tatyana tends to be in his house, reading books. She learned a lot and understood a lot. Onegin is not the way she imagined him. He is a selfish, selfish person, not at all the hero to whom her tender soul was yearning.

After time has passed, Onegin meets Tatyana again in St. Petersburg. She is the wife of an old general. And then Onegin looked at her in a new way. In wealth and nobility, she seems completely different. Love flared up in his soul. This time she herself rejected him, knowing his selfishness, knowing the emptiness of his soul and not wanting to break the word she gave to her husband.

This soul, kind Tatyana, knew how to love deeply. Having parted with Onegin and realizing that he was not the hero of her novel, she still continued to love him and suffered from it. Tatyana did not become the general’s wife of her own free will; her mother “begged” her to do so. She did not part with her love: in her soul she loved Onegin.

Tatiana's soul is the soul of the best Russian women, no matter how different their destinies, thoughts, deeds may be.

The genius of Pushkin lies in the fact that he invited society to take a fresh look at the fate of the Russian woman. He wrote a character hitherto unknown in Russian literature. Firmness of nature, strength, simplicity, naturalness, loyalty to one’s word, decency - these traits determined the integrity and strength of the heroine’s character. Tatyana's strong principles were unshakable throughout the entire story. She was disgusted by hypocrisy, insincerity, idle talk, everything that she called “the rags of a masquerade.”

Since childhood, Tatyana was close to the people, to folk poetry. Her soulmate is the nanny, to whom she confided her secrets. Throughout the entire story inner world Tatiana does not change. No external circumstances will force her to leave the true path, or “break her spiritual makeup.” The poet's admiration and love in the novel are given to Tatyana in full.

Conclusion

Pushkin combined two eras in himself: he contained well-known features of the present and some echoes of the past, in the midst of which his own upbringing took place; on the other hand, with him a completely new period began, the period of modern literature.

With his novel “Eugene Onegin,” Pushkin taught everyone who wrote after him to depict the strength and suffering of a Russian woman just as simply and sincerely. Pushkin raised the importance of the Russian woman in our consciousness. He created the basis for those high ideals of women that we see in subsequent works of other authors.

In the novel “Eugene Onegin,” Pushkin managed to present all the diversity of life in contemporary Russia, to depict Russian society“in one of the most interesting moments of its development”, to create typical images of Onegin and Lensky, in whose person the “main, that is, male side” of this society was represented. “But perhaps the greater feat of our poet is that he was the first to reproduce, in the person of Tatyana, a Russian woman,” Belinsky wrote.

Tatyana Larina is the first realistic female character in Russian literature. The heroine's worldview, her character, her mental makeup - this is revealed in the novel in great detail, her behavior is psychologically motivated. But at the same time, Tatyana is the poet’s “sweet ideal,” the “novel” embodiment of his dream of a certain type of woman. And the poet himself often speaks about this on the pages of the novel: “Tatiana’s letter is in front of me; I cherish him sacredly...”, “Forgive me: I love my dear Tatyana so much!” Moreover, the personality of the heroine, to a certain extent, embodied the poet’s own worldview.

Readers immediately felt these author's accents. Dostoevsky, for example, considered Tatyana, and not Onegin, to be the main actor novel. And the writer’s opinion is quite reasonable. This is an integral, extraordinary, exceptional nature, with a truly Russian soul, with a strong character and spirit.

Her character remains unchanged throughout the novel. In various life circumstances, Tatyana’s spiritual and intellectual horizons expand, she gains experience, knowledge of human nature, new habits and manners characteristic of a different age, but her inner world does not change. “The portrait of her as a child, so masterfully written by the poet, is only developed, but not changed,” wrote V. G. Belinsky:

Dick, sad, silent,

Like a forest deer is timid,

She is in her own family

The girl seemed like a stranger...

Child herself, in a crowd of children

I didn’t want to play or jump

And often alone all day

She sat silently by the window.

Tatyana grew up as a thoughtful and impressionable girl, she did not like noisy children's games, fun entertainment, she was not interested in dolls and needlework. She loved to dream alone or listen to her nanny's stories. Tatyana's only friends were fields and forests, meadows and groves.

It is characteristic that, when describing village life, Pushkin does not depict any of the “provincial heroes” against the backdrop of nature. Habit, the “prose of life”, preoccupation with economic concerns, low spiritual needs - all this left its mark on their perception: local landowners simply do not notice the surrounding beauty, just as Olga or old lady Larina do not notice it,

But Tatyana is not like that, her nature is deep and poetic - she is given the ability to see the beauty of the world around her, given the ability to understand the “secret language of nature”, given the ability to love God’s light. She loves to greet the “sunrise of dawn”, her thoughts are carried away to the twinkling moon, and she loves to walk alone among the fields and hills. But Tatyana especially loves winter:

Tatiana (Russian soul.

Without knowing why)

With her cold beauty

I loved the Russian winter,

There is frost in the sun on a frosty day,

And the sleigh and the late dawn

The glow of pink snows,

And the darkness of Epiphany evenings.

The heroine thus introduces the motif of winter, cold, and ice into the narrative. And winter landscapes then often accompany Tatyana. Here she is, telling fortunes on a clear, frosty night at baptism. In a dream, she walks “through a snowy clearing” and sees “motionless pines” covered with shreds of snow, bushes, rapids covered in a blizzard. Before leaving for Moscow, Tatyana “is afraid of the winter journey.” V. M. Markovich notes that the “winter” motif here is “directly close to that harsh and mysterious sense of proportion, law, fate, which forced Tatiana to reject Onegin’s love.”

The heroine's deep connection with nature remains throughout the entire narrative. Tatyana lives according to the laws of nature, in full agreement with her natural rhythms: “The time has come, she fell in love. Thus, the fallen grain of Spring is revived by fire.” And her communication with the nanny, belief in the “legends of the common people of old times,” dreams, fortune telling, signs and superstitions - all this only strengthens this mysterious connection.

Tatyana's attitude towards nature is akin to ancient paganism, the memory of her distant ancestors, the memory of her family, seems to come to life in the heroine. “Tatiana is all native, all from the Russian land, from Russian nature, mysterious, dark and deep, like a Russian fairy tale... Her soul is simple, like the soul of the Russian people. Tatiana from that twilight ancient world, where the Firebird, Ivan Tsarevich, Baba Yaga were born...” wrote D. Merezhkovsky.

And this “call of the past” is expressed, among other things, in the heroine’s inextricable connection with her family, despite the fact that there she “seemed like a stranger’s girl.” Pushkin portrays Tatyana against the backdrop of her family’s life story, which takes on an extremely important meaning in the context of understanding the heroine’s fate.

In her life story, Tatyana, without wanting this, repeats the fate of her mother, who was taken to the crown, “without asking her advice,” while she “sighed for another, Whom She liked much more with her heart and mind...”. Here Pushkin seems to anticipate Tatiana’s fate with a philosophical remark: “A habit has been given to us from above: It is a substitute for happiness.” It may be objected to us that Tatyana is deprived of a spiritual connection with her family (“She seemed like a stranger in her own family”). However, this does not mean that there is no connection here, an internal, deep one, that very natural connection that constitutes the very essence of the heroine’s nature.

In addition, Tatyana was raised by a nanny from childhood, and here we can no longer talk about the lack of a spiritual connection. It is to the nanny that the heroine confides her heartfelt secret, handing over a letter for Onegin. She remembers her nanny with sadness in St. Petersburg. But what is Filipyevna’s fate? The same marriage without love:

“How did you get married, nanny?” —

So, apparently, God ordered. My Vanya

Was younger than me, my light,

And I was thirteen years old.

The matchmaker went around for two weeks

To my family, and finally

My father blessed me.

I cried bitterly out of fear,

They unraveled my braid while crying,

Yes, they took me to church singing.

Of course, the peasant girl here is deprived of freedom of choice, unlike Tatyana. But the situation of marriage itself, its perception is repeated in Tatyana’s fate. Nyanino “So, apparently, God ordered” becomes Tatyanin “But I was given to someone else; I will be faithful to him forever."

The fashionable passion for sentimental and romantic novels. Her very love for Onegin manifests itself “in a bookish way,” she appropriates to herself “someone else’s delight, someone else’s sadness.” The men she knew were uninteresting to Tatyana: they “provided so little food for her exalted... imagination.” Onegin was a new man in the “village wilderness”. His mystery, secular manners, aristocracy, indifferent, bored appearance - all this could not leave Tatyana indifferent. “There are creatures whose fantasy has much more influence on the heart than how they think about it,” wrote Belinsky. Not knowing Onegin, Tatyana imagines him in images familiar to her literary heroes: Malek-Adel, de Dinard and Werther. In essence, the heroine does not love a living person, but an image created by her “rebellious imagination.”

However, gradually she begins to discover Onegin's inner world. After his stern sermon, Tatyana remains confused, offended and bewildered. She probably interprets everything she hears in her own way, understanding only that her love was rejected. And only after visiting the hero’s “fashionable cell”, looking into his books, which contain the “sharp mark of nails,” Tatyana begins to comprehend Onegin’s perception of life, people, and fate. However, its discovery does not speak in favor of the chosen one:

What is he? Is it really imitation?

An insignificant ghost, or else

Muscovite in Harold's cloak,

interpretation of other people's whims,

A complete vocabulary of fashion words?..

Isn't he a parody?

Here the difference in the worldviews of the heroes is especially clearly exposed. If Tatyana thinks and feels in line with the Russian Orthodox tradition, Russian patriarchy, patriotism, then Onegin’s inner world was formed under the influence of Western European culture. As V. Nepomnyashchy notes, Eugene’s office is a fashionable cell, where instead of icons there is a portrait of Lord Byron, on the table there is a small statue of Napoleon, the invader, the conqueror of Russia, Onegin’s books undermine the basis of the foundations - faith in the Divine principle in man. Of course, Tatyana was amazed to discover not only the unfamiliar world of someone else’s consciousness, but also a world that was deeply alien to her, hostile at its core.

Probably, the ill-fated duel, the outcome of which was the death of Lensky, did not leave her indifferent. A completely different, non-book image of Onegin formed in her mind. This is confirmed by the second explanation of the heroes in St. Petersburg. Tatyana does not believe in the sincerity of Evgeniy’s feelings; his persecution offends her dignity. Onegin's love does not leave her indifferent, but now she cannot respond to his feelings. She got married and devoted herself entirely to her husband and family. And an affair with Onegin in this new situation is impossible for her:

I love you (why lie?),
But I was given to another;
I will be faithful to him forever...

This choice of the heroine reflected a lot. This is the integrity of her nature, which does not allow lies and deception; and clarity of moral ideas, which excludes the very possibility of causing grief to an innocent person (husband), or frivolously disgracing him; and bookish-romantic ideals; and faith in Fate, in the Providence of God, implying Christian humility; and the laws of folk morality, with its unambiguous decisions; and an unconscious repetition of the fate of the mother and nanny.

However, in the impossibility of unity of Pushkin’s heroes there is also a deep, symbolic subtext. Onegin is the hero of “culture”, civilization (moreover, Western European culture, alien to Russian people at its very core). Tatiana is a child of nature, embodying the very essence of the Russian soul. Nature and culture in the novel are incompatible - they are tragically separated.

Dostoevsky believed that Onegin now loves in Tatyana “only his new fantasy. ...Loves fantasy, but he is a fantasy himself. After all, if she follows him, then tomorrow he will be disappointed and look at his hobby mockingly. It has no soil, it is a blade of grass carried by the wind. She [Tatyana] is not like that at all: even in despair and in the suffering consciousness that her life has been lost, she still has something solid and unshakable on which her soul rests. These are her childhood memories, memories of her homeland, the rural wilderness in which her humble, pure life began...”

Thus, in the novel “Eugene Onegin” Pushkin presents us with the “apotheosis of the Russian woman.” Tatyana amazes us with her depth of nature, originality, “rebellious imagination,” “living mind and will.” It's whole, strong personality capable of rising above the stereotypical thinking of any social circle, intuitively feeling the moral truth.

A.S. Pushkin – great poet and 19th century writer. He enriched Russian literature with many wonderful works. One of them is the novel “Eugene Onegin”. A.S. Pushkin worked on the novel for many years; it was his favorite work. Belinsky called it “an encyclopedia of Russian life,” since it reflected, like a mirror, the entire life of the Russian nobility of that era. Despite the fact that the novel is called “Eugene Onegin,” the system of characters is organized in such a way that the image of Tatyana Larina acquires no less, if not more, importance. But Tatyana is not just main character novel, she is also A.S.’s favorite heroine. Pushkin, which the poet calls “a sweet ideal.” A.S. Pushkin is madly in love with the heroine, and repeatedly admits this to her:

...I love my dear Tatiana so much!

Tatyana Larina is a young, fragile, contented, sweet young lady. Her image stands out very clearly against the background of other female images inherent in the literature of that time. From the very beginning, the author emphasizes the absence in Tatyana of those qualities that were endowed with the heroines of classical Russian novels: a poetic name, unusual beauty:

Not your sister's beauty,

Nor the freshness of her ruddy

She wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Since childhood, Tatyana had a lot of things that distinguished her from others. She grew up as a lonely girl in her family:

Dick, sad, silent,

Like a forest deer is timid,

She is in her own family

The girl seemed like a stranger.

Tatyana also did not like to play with children and was not interested in city news and fashion. For the most part, she is immersed in herself, in her experiences:

But dolls even in these years

Tatyana didn’t take it in her hands;

About city news, about fashion

I didn’t have any conversations with her.

There is something completely different about Tatiana that captivates us: thoughtfulness, dreaminess, poetry, sincerity. She read many novels since childhood. In them she saw a different life, more interesting, more eventful. She believed that such a life, and such people are not made up, but actually exist:

She liked novels early on,

They replaced everything for her,

She fell in love with deceptions

And Richardson and Russo.

Already with the name of his heroine, Pushkin emphasizes Tatyana’s closeness to the people, to Russian nature. Pushkin explains Tatiana’s unusualness and her spiritual wealth by the influence of the folk environment, the beautiful and harmonious Russian nature, on her inner world:

Tatyana (Russian in soul, Without knowing why)

With her cold beauty

I loved Russian winter.

Tatyana, a Russian soul, subtly senses the beauty of nature. One more image can be discerned that accompanies Tatyana everywhere and connects her with nature - the moon:

She loved on the balcony

Warn the dawn,

When on a pale sky

The round dance of the stars disappears...

...under the foggy moon...

Tatyana's soul is pure, high, like the moon. Tatyana’s “wildness” and “sadness” do not repel us, but, on the contrary, make us think that she, like the lonely moon in the sky, is extraordinary in her spiritual beauty. Tatiana's portrait is inseparable from nature, from the overall picture. In the novel, nature is revealed through Tatyana, and Tatyana - through nature. For example, spring is the birth of Tatyana’s love, and love is spring:

The time has come, she fell in love.

So the grain fell into the ground

Spring is enlivened by fire.

Tatyana shares her experiences, grief, and torment with nature; only to her can she pour out her soul. Only in solitude with nature does she find solace, and where else can she look for it, because in the family she grew up as a “stranger girl”; she herself writes in a letter to Onegin: “... no one understands me...”. Tatyana is the one for whom it is so natural to fall in love in the spring; bloom for happiness, like the first flowers bloom in the spring, when nature awakens from sleep.

Before leaving for Moscow, Tatyana first of all says goodbye to her native land:

Sorry, peaceful valleys,

And you, familiar mountain peaks,

And you, familiar forests;

I'm sorry cheerful nature…

With this appeal A.S. Pushkin clearly showed how difficult it was for Tatyana to part with her native land.

A.S. Pushkin also endowed Tatyana with a “fiery heart,” a subtle soul. Tatyana, at thirteen years old, is firm and unshakable:

Tatiana loves seriously

And he surrenders, of course.

Love like a sweet child.

V.G. Belinsky noted: “Tatiana’s entire inner world consisted of a thirst for love. nothing else spoke to her soul; her mind was asleep"

Tatyana dreamed of a person who would bring content into her life. This is exactly how Evgeny Onegin seemed to her. She came up with Onegin, fitting him to the model of heroes French novels. The heroine takes the first step: she writes a letter to Onegin, waits for an answer, but there is none.

Onegin did not answer her, but on the contrary read the instruction: “Learn to control yourself! Not everyone will understand you, as I do! Inexperience leads to disaster! Although it was always considered indecent for a girl to be the first to confess her love, the author likes Tatyana’s directness:

Why is Tatyana guilty?

Because in sweet simplicity

She knows no deception

And he believes in his chosen dream.

Having found herself in Moscow society, where “it’s easy to show off your upbringing,” Tatyana stands out for her spiritual qualities. Social life has not touched her soul, no, it is still the same old “dear Tatyana.” She is tired of the luxurious life, she suffers:

She's stuffy here... she's a dream

Strives for life in the field.

Here, in Moscow, Pushkin again compares Tatyana to the moon, which eclipses everything around with its light:

She was sitting at the table

With the brilliant Nina Voronskaya,

This Cleopatra of the Neva;

And you would truly agree,

That Nina is a marble beauty

I couldn’t outshine my neighbor,

At least she was dazzling.

Tatyana, who still loves Evgeniy, answers him firmly:

But I was given to someone else

And I will be faithful to him forever.

This confirms once again that Tatyana is noble, persistent, and faithful.

The critic V.G. also highly appreciated the image of Tatyana. Belinsky: “Great was Pushkin’s feat that he was the first in his novel to poetically reproduce Russian society of that time and, in the person of Onegin and Lensky, showed its main, that is, male, side; but perhaps the greater feat of our poet is that he was the first to poetically reproduce, in the person of Tatyana, a Russian woman.” The critic emphasizes the integrity of the heroine’s nature, her exclusivity in society. At the same time, Belinsky draws attention to the fact that the image of Tatiana represents “a type of Russian woman.”

In Alexander Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin", of course, the main in a feminine way is Tatyana Larina. The love story of this girl was later sung by both playwrights and composers. In our article, the characterization of Tatyana Larina is constructed from the point of view of her assessment by the author and in comparison with her sister Olga. Both of these characters in the work are shown as completely opposite natures. Of course, we must not forget about love line novel. In relation to Onegin, the heroine also shows us certain sides of her character. We will analyze all these aspects further so that the characterization of Tatyana Larina is as complete as possible. First, let's get to know her sister and herself.

We can talk about the main character of the novel for a very long time and a lot. But Pushkin showed the image of her sister, Olga Larina, quite succinctly. The poet considers her virtues to be modesty, obedience, simplicity and cheerfulness. The author saw the same character traits in almost every village young lady, so he makes it clear to the reader that he is bored describing her. Olga has the banal feel of a village girl. But the author presents the image of Tatyana Larina as more mysterious and complex. If we talk about Olga, then main value for her is a cheerful, carefree life. Of course, Lensky’s love is present in her, but she does not understand his feelings. Here Pushkin is trying to show her pride, which is absent if we consider the character of Tatyana Larina. Olga, this simple-minded girl, is unfamiliar with complex spiritual work, so she took the death of her groom lightly, quickly replacing him with the “love flattery” of another man.

Comparative analysis of the image of Tatyana Larina

Against the background of her sister’s rustic simplicity, Tatyana seems to us and the author to be a perfect woman. Pushkin states this quite directly, calling the heroine of his work a “sweet ideal.” Brief description Tatiana Larina is inappropriate here. This is a multifaceted character, the girl understands the reasons for her feelings and actions, and even analyzes them. This once again proves that Tatyana and Olga Larina are absolute opposites, although they are sisters and were brought up in the same cultural environment.

Author's assessment of Tatyana's character

What kind of main character does Pushkin present to us? Tatyana is characterized by simplicity, leisurely, and thoughtfulness. The poet pays special attention to such a quality of her character as belief in mysticism. Signs, legends, changes in the phase of the moon - she notices and analyzes all this. The girl loves to tell fortunes and also attaches great importance to dreams. Pushkin did not ignore Tatyana’s love of reading. Brought up on typical women's fashion novels, the heroine sees her love as if through a book prism, idealizing it. She loves winter with all its disadvantages: darkness, twilight, cold and snow. Pushkin also emphasizes that the heroine of the novel has a “Russian soul” - this is an important point in order for the characterization of Tatyana Larina to be the most complete and understandable to the reader.

The influence of village customs on the character of the heroine

Pay attention to the time in which the subject of our conversation lives. This is the first half of the 19th century, which means that the characteristics of Tatyana Larina are, in fact, the characteristics of Pushkin’s contemporaries. The character of the heroine is reserved and modest, and reading her description given to us by the poet, we can note that we learn practically nothing about the girl’s appearance. Thus, Pushkin makes it clear that it is not important external beauty, but internal character traits. Tatyana is young, but looks like an adult and an established person. She did not like children's games and playing with dolls; she was attracted to mysterious stories and love suffering. After all, the heroines of your favorite novels always go through a number of difficulties and experience suffering. Tatyana Larina's image is harmonious, dim, but surprisingly sensual. Such people are often found in real life.

Tatyana Larina in a love relationship with Evgeny Onegin

How do we see the main character when it comes to love? She meets Evgeniy Onegin, already being internally ready for a relationship. She is “waiting for... someone,” Alexander Pushkin carefully points this out to us. But don’t forget where Tatyana Larina lives. Characteristics of her love relationship depends on the strange village customs. This is manifested in the fact that Eugene Onegin visits the girl’s family only once, but people around are already talking about engagement and marriage. In response to these rumors, Tatyana begins to consider the main character as the object of her admiration. From this we can conclude that Tatyana’s experiences are far-fetched and artificial. She carries all her thoughts within herself, melancholy and sadness live in her loving soul.

Tatyana's famous message, its motives and consequences

And the feelings turn out to be so strong that there is a need to express them by continuing the relationship with Evgeniy, but he no longer comes. According to the etiquette requirements of those times, it was impossible for a girl to take the first step; it was considered a frivolous and ugly act. But Tatyana finds a way out - she writes a love letter to Onegin. Reading it, we see that Tatyana is a very noble, pure person, high thoughts reign in her soul, she is strict with herself. Eugene’s refusal to accept her love girl is, of course, discouraging, but the feeling in his heart does not go away. She tries to understand his actions, and she succeeds.

Tatyana after unsuccessful love

Realizing that Onegin prefers quick hobbies, Tatyana goes to Moscow. Here we already see a completely different person in her. She overcame the blind, unrequited feeling within herself.

But Tatyana feels like a stranger, she is far from his bustle, glitter, gossip and attends dinners most often in the company of her mother. Unsuccessful made her indifferent to all subsequent hobbies of the opposite sex. The integral character that we observed at the beginning of the novel “Eugene Onegin” is shown by Pushkin as broken and destroyed by the end of the work. As a result, Tatyana Larina remained a “black sheep” in high society, but her inner purity and pride were able to help others see a true lady in her. Her aloof behavior and at the same time unmistakable knowledge of the rules of etiquette, politeness and hospitality attracted attention, but at the same time forced her to remain at a distance, so Tatyana was above gossip.

The final choice of the heroine

At the end of the novel “Eugene Onegin,” Pushkin, completing the plot, gives his “sweet ideal” a happy family life. Tatyana Larina has grown spiritually, but even in the last lines of the novel she confesses her love to Eugene Onegin. At the same time, this feeling no longer has power over her; she makes a conscious choice in favor of loyalty to her lawful husband and virtue.

Onegin also pays attention to Tatyana, “new” to him. He doesn’t even suspect that she hasn’t changed, she just “outgrew” him and “got over” her former painful love. Therefore, she rejected his advances. This is how the main character of “Eugene Onegin” appears before us. Her main character traits are strong will, self-confidence, and kind character. Unfortunately, Pushkin showed in his work how unhappy such people can be, because they see that the world is not at all what they would like. Tatyana has a difficult fate, but her desire for personal happiness helps her overcome all adversity.

"Eugene Onegin" is a novel in verse. If not the best, then one of the best best works great Russian classic. A.S. Pushkin for the first time reveals Tatyana Larina, who is an ideal for him, which he tenderly and lovingly praises.

It is believed that the prototype of the heroine was a real woman who left after her husband, who was exiled to Siberia.

The ideal image of the heroine in the novel “Eugene Onegin”

Pushkin calls his heroine a simple and at the same time very common name - Tatyana. Her character is sincere, folk, natural, but nevertheless she cannot be called a simpleton. The heroine's sincerity is combined with the extraordinary depth of her soul.

She is a big lover of books, brought up on them and the stories of her nanny, and is different from her surroundings. Tatyana is not used to being affectionate with her parents and playing with other children, like all her peers. She appears to readers as a girl somewhat removed from the rest of society. For Pushkin, this is the ideal image of the heroine in the novel “Eugene Onegin”.

She loves nature and lives according to its rhythms and laws, feeling her unity with it.
Public opinion is not so important for a girl. But she lives in a world of ideals, sincere soulfulness, high spiritual morality and purity.

She prefers country life, closeness to nature, which she feels and loves. Then, having gotten married, living in St. Petersburg and leading a social life, she will remember with longing the life that she had in her beloved village.

A.S. Pushkin, “Eugene Onegin”: heroes and their love

Pushkin describes two vivid images of the main characters in his novel. This is Tatyana Larina, Evgeny Onegin, who oppose each other and at the same time attract. The girl’s pure and sincere soul comes into contact with a young man who has already seen a lot in his life and is disillusioned with life. Onegin's spiritual emptiness and Larina's soul filled to the brim are dramatically revealed in the novel.

It would seem that love should work miracles, and Tatyana, who is strong and sincerely in love, will definitely be able to change everything. Eugene Onegin, however, rejects her after her confession and leaves her completely at a loss. Was it love or passion? Tatyana, being a dreamy girl, fell in love not with a real person, but with an image she invented, which she drew in her dreams.

The young man, who attracted her with his aloofness and mystery, those traits that were inherent in her, nevertheless turned out to be not the romantic hero from her dreams and dreams. He turned out to be an empty, disappointed and even corrupted man by the secular life of the capital. But, despite this, noble nobility lived deeply in him, and Tatyana was not deceived. Evgeny Onegin left, leaving the girl in complete confusion.

He had a chance to change and find the soulfulness that he once had. But it was too complex and incomprehensible for him, and the young man or “young old man,” as critics sometimes called him, decided to simply retire and continue his usual way of life.

Much later, Tatyana Larina and Evgeny Onegin will meet in St. Petersburg. And then the fire of passion will no longer burn her, but Onegin. Tatyana, in turn, having become a high society lady, will not lose her ability to love. However, this time she will reject Eugene - not in order to take revenge or follow the norms accepted in society.

She loves him, no matter what, and does not hide it from him. But she continues to be guided in life by her high spiritual and moral principles and cannot break the vow given to her destined husband. At the same time, she understands that Onegin is not driven by passion and selfish pride. And how can she answer otherwise? Decide to have an extramarital affair? By doing this, she would not only desecrate her love, but also betray herself, sacrificing her inner rules of life.

V.G. Belinsky about Tatyana

Tatyana, in his perception, is a deep and strong woman, without the painful contradictions of complex souls, which sometimes they themselves are not able to understand. She is whole, united and pure in nature. And it doesn’t matter who she is today: a society lady or a simple girl from the village. Wherever she is, high spiritual integrity does not leave her, and no matter what happens to her, she is guided by the values ​​​​living within her.

Tatiana and Olga

Tatyana, the ideal image of the heroine in the novel Eugene Onegin, is the complete opposite of her sister Olga. The latter is a flighty girl with a carefree and narrow-minded disposition. Her image is fully revealed in her disdainful attitude towards the young man who fell in love with her - Lensky, who, because of her frivolous behavior, challenges Onegin to a duel and dies there.
Tatyana cannot be spiritually friends with her flighty sister; she needs depth and meaningfulness in her own and other people’s thoughts and actions, which Olga cannot give her.

Natural image

Tatyana is able to contemplate beauty, feel harmony, understand the language of nature and love the world around her. She loves to watch the sunrise and think about the moon, walk through fields and meadows, admire beautiful natural landscapes, especially in winter, and even

Its image is close to the pagan one, when people lived in unity with the world around them, with nature, without separating themselves from it and finding in nature all the answers to the questions they had. Tatyana believes in superstitions, omens, fortune telling and dreams. And this belief further strengthens her connection with nature.

Social image

Social life is a burden for the girl. Her deep inner nature resists falsehood, but she is forced to come to terms with it and live as fate ordered her. By the end of the novel, the naive village girl learned to put on a secular cold mask and walk around in it, like all the people around her. But, despite this, she does not lose her essence and spiritual qualities.
