If A. S. Pushkin depicted in his novel "Eugene Onegin" only the amazing characters of Onegin and Tatyana, if he spoke only about the relationship of these people throughout the novel, then even then the novel would be worthy of endless admiration. But greatest achievement Pushkin is that he found and explained the reason for the appearance and development of such people in Russia. This reason is Russian society twenties of the nineteenth century.
It is society that gives birth, educates, changes people. In Onegin, the estate to which the poet himself belonged, whose children were many of the heroes of the novel, was most fully reflected - the nobility, "in which the progress of Russian society was expressed."
The life of a secular person is full of events to the limit. He is constantly in action, he is always in society. And gradually the light replaces his inner one, spiritual world external vanity and brilliance. A person ceases to be himself, he can only "seem". And in order to seem smart, charming, society needs the smallest thing: “it’s easy to dance a mazurka and bow at ease.”
It is terrible to think that they do not live in the full sense of the word, but create the appearance of life. As if life is great performance in the theater, and people are actors. They do not love and do not suffer, they play lovers and suffering. Only a few understand that such a life is in vain. Few in whom "social life did not kill feelings, but only cooled them to fruitless passions and petty entertainments." And realizing this, they will no longer be able to lead social life They don’t know how to live differently, they yearn and slowly die in soul: “the inactivity and vulgarity of life” choke them. This is how Onegin appears - outwardly gloomy, embittered. But poetry lives in the soul, which the light has not been able to kill. Fleeing from the hustle and bustle, Onegin settled in the countryside, but even there he encountered a society leading the same empty life, only more simply. The same void that they are trying to fill, however, with less refined conversations “about haymaking, about wine, about the kennel, about their relatives.” "Onegin was wild in the company of the Larins, but education, even more than secularism, was the reason for this." Emptiness in inner world local nobles was exacerbated by their ignorance. And this is the only difference between the ball in St. Petersburg and the name day in the Larins' house. It is difficult to imagine that Tatyana could appear in the company of the Petushkovs, Buyanovs, Pustyakovs - “rare, beautiful flower, accidentally grown in a cleft of a wild rock. It sounds paradoxical, but Tatyana is unhappy partly because she is better, thinner, smarter than most of the people around her.
The position of a woman in society is a criterion by which one can judge how developed a society is, how progressive it is. And if a woman does not occupy any position in society, even if Tatyana is “... a passionate, deeply feeling creature”, but “tightly locked in the dark emptiness of her intellectual existence”, if women like her are “genius natures” are mercilessly killed by an unconscious society , then there can be no question of any humanity of such a society. But this class is the most progressive in Russia. The life of Russian society, which Pushkin so fully and expressively described, turns out to be unbearable for the best people this society.
This life is beautiful only for nonentities. It is not difficult to understand that a society that kills its own the best representatives doomed to perish. Because only smart people promote progress, empty and callous - degradation.
This conclusion was prompted by Pushkin. And such a conclusion can only be made by familiarizing oneself in detail and fully with all aspects of Russian life at that time. Pushkin's merit is that, by reading his novel, one can deeply study Russian life, the encyclopedia of which is "Eugene Onegin".
The novel "Eugene Onegin" occupies a central place in Pushkin's work. This is his largest work of art, which had the strongest influence on the fate of all Russian literature.
The novel in verse "Eugene Onegin" was written by Pushkin for about eight years. Those were the years of the real creative maturity poet. In 1831 the novel in verse was finished and in 1833 it was published.

These were the years of the development of Russian society during the reign of Tsar Alexander I. History and contemporary events are intertwined in the novel.
The plot of the work is simple and well known. At the center of the novel love affair. A main problem is eternal struggle between feeling and duty. The heroes of the novel Eugene Onegin, Tatyana Larina, Vladimir Lensky, Olga make up two love couples. But all of them are not given by fate to become happy. Tatyana immediately fell in love with Onegin, and he managed to love her only after the deep shocks that occurred in his chilled soul. But, despite love, they cannot become happy, cannot unite their destinies. And it is not some external circumstances that are to blame for this, but their own mistakes, their inability to find the right path in life. Pushkin makes his reader think about the deep reasons for these mistakes.
Downtime storyline novel strung with a lot of pictures, descriptions, shows a lot of living people with their different fate, with their feelings and characters. Pushkin has all this “collection colorful chapters, half-funny, half-sad, vulgar, ideal" took shape in the picture of the era, ..
What is the the main idea, main idea"Eugene Onegin"? It consists in the fact that only people who think little, know little, who have no aspirations, can live happily.
leniya to the high, spiritual. People with a flair subtle soul doomed to suffer. They either perish, like Lensky, or are forced to languish "in empty inaction," like Onegin, or suffer in silence, like Tatiana.
Pushkin clearly shows that in all fatal mistakes not only his heroes are to blame, but also that environment, that situation that shaped such characters, that made unhappy those who, in essence or in their makings, are beautiful, intelligent and noble people. The landlord, feudal system, the unbearable, hard work of the peasants and the complete idleness of the landowners and masters made unhappy, distorted the life of not only serf slaves, but also the best of the nobles, landowners. These sad and bitter thoughts about the grave troubles of the entire life system are expressed by Pushkin in the last sad lines of the novel.
