Alexander Sergeevich created his novel "Eugene Onegin" for eight years. The novel occupies a central place in the work of A.S. Pushkin. From the first chapters we get acquainted with the main character, Eugene Onegin. The chapter begins with Onegin's monologue. And this is the only chapter where only Eugene Onegin is in the foreground. We learn about the hero's childhood, upbringing, how Eugene spends his day. Pushkin, it seems to me, speaks of his hero in a slightly satirical tone.
We see Eugene as a typical young man of the early 19th century. Alexander
Sergeevich informs us readers that his hero received a superficial education. His upbringing and education was carried out by a French tutor, who taught him the sciences somehow, but something. Pushkin in Onegin noted an addiction to secular pleasures, easy victories over women, balls. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin also notes that his hero is a smart man, only disappointed in life.
He loves secular entertainment and is not capable of work. The other Onegin is a rather intelligent person who knew how to think, live, understood society and people, but was disappointed in them. Such Onegin was a friend of Pushkin. Of course, the second Onegin is closer and more understandable to me.
In subsequent chapters, we see Eugene Onegin in a new way. The hero meets Lensky, a young poet. They are friends, they have a lot of common topics for conversation. The author contrasts Onegin with Lensky, saying about them that they are similar to “ice and fire”, “poetry and prose”. Lensky introduces Eugene Onegin to the Larin family. Onegin notes Tatyana for himself as a girl with a rich inner world. Tatyana writes a letter with declarations of love to Onegin. Eugene chastises Tatyana, says that he is treating her nobly. Eugene Onegin rejects Tatyana, makes it clear that he does not want to lose his peace and freedom, that he does not want to take responsibility for other people.
Such an attitude towards Tatyana, I think, has developed from the fact that his soul is dead, his feelings have cooled down. He was fed up with the attention of secular beauties from the high society of St. Petersburg. Onegin decided to annoy Lensky by flirting with his lover. Lensky is furious, angry. He challenges Onegin to a duel. Yes, Onegin could have resolved the conflict situation peacefully, but he did not. Although his conscience, I think, insisted that he should apologize, admit that he was wrong, explain everything. Eugene simply did not have the courage. He was afraid that society would not understand him, would condemn him as cowardice. Eugene kills Lensky in a duel.
After such a development of events, Onegin could not stay on the estate. The hero is going to travel around Russia. Several years have passed. We saw a completely different Onegin. Although his external life has not changed in any way, all the same balls, dinners, but now Eugene has changed. His soul has awakened, he is full of a thirst for love, happiness and a desire to fight for his feelings. Having met Tatyana, Onegin realizes that he loves her. He writes endless letters to her, but there is no answer.
When they meet, she makes him understand that although she loves him, she married another person. Tatyana's sense of duty is higher than love. In my opinion, the main character, Eugene Onegin, after meeting Tatyana, will be able to change his life for the better. Although society had great power on people like Eugene Onegin. Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin left the ending of the novel “Eugene Onegin” open, therefore, we readers, each for ourselves, will decide how we want to see the main character further.
Answer from valentine aquarius[guru]
Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" was a kind of discovery for me. I learned a lot of new and interesting things from this work.
The protagonist of the novel in verse is the young nobleman Eugene Onegin. One of the main questions of the work that the author poses to us is whether Onegin knows how to love? The reader reflects on this throughout the novel.
It seems to me that in order to answer this question, it is worth referring to the description of the upbringing and lifestyle of the hero. Onegin from a very young age was part of the high society of St. Petersburg. All that the hero could learn there was the art of lies and hypocrisy. The high society of St. Petersburg is completely unassuming. It appreciates only the superficial ability to make a good impression. No one is going to look deeper. I think it's easy for superficial people to shine in such a society.
Constant romance, intrigue, flirting - these are the main entertainments in this society. Naturally, Onegin perfectly mastered the "art of tender passion." But in these relations there is not a drop of sincerity. Eugene quickly enough became disillusioned with life and his surroundings. He cooled off to everything around, and after a while he even left for the village. But only a few days he was interested in simple village life, then the hero again became bored.
It was during such a "spiritual coldness" that Eugene Onegin met Tatyana Larina. The young girl instantly fell in love with the capital's dandy. But the hero himself was sure that no one would be able to excite him for a long time. Onegin does not reciprocate the heroine, giving her only a rebuke.
After the ridiculous murder of Vladimir Lensky in a duel, Yevgeny flees the village. We learn that for some time he wandered, moved away from high society, changed a lot. Everything superficial is gone, only a deep, ambiguous personality remains.
During this period, Eugene meets Tatiana again. Now she is a married woman, a socialite. Seeing such changes, the hero now falls in love with Tatiana himself. It is at this moment that we understand that Onegin is able to love and suffer. After all, Tatyana refuses him, she cannot betray her husband.
Thus, initially Onegin is a deep and interesting personality. But high society "has done him a disservice." Only after moving away from his surroundings, the hero again "returns to himself" and discovers in himself the opportunity to deeply feel and sincerely love.
The novel "Eugene Onegin" made me think about the importance of being a person, free and independent of the opinions of society, the environment, and other people. And, besides, about the significance of the influence of the environment on a person, on his fate, on his worldview.
Pushkin's novel is filled with subtle psychological observations, deep reflections on human life, its meaning and goals. Therefore, we can say that in the novel I appreciated, first of all, its philosophical side, the universal one. But, at the same time, I learned a lot about the cultural and everyday life of Russian nobles in the early 19th century.
In general, the novel in verse by A. S. Pushkin became a discovery for me, a work that I read with great pleasure and benefit for myself.
Pushkin wrote his Onegin from a whole generation of young people. They lived at the expense of serfs, received education, led an empty secular life, did not work anywhere. They were raised by strangers. His relatives had no time to educate them. Days passed in aimless drinking in restaurants, chasing after women, sometimes going to the theater and balls.
Uncle - the only native person during the illness needed care. But it is hard for Onegin to be a saddle near him day and night. Feed him, drink him, give him medicine. And he thinks to himself: "When will the devil take you." Here she is thanks to her uncle for all the good that he did for his nephew. Onegin is not capable of loving either women or relatives.
Onegin, instead of the natural sciences, mastered the science of hypocrisy and jealousy well. One boredom, that in St. Petersburg, that in the countryside. He is not interested in hunting or fishing. At first, Onegin planned to make life easier for the peasants, but quickly abandoned this business. He did not like to strain, by nature he was lazy. And besides, also an egoist. He passively floats on the waves of an empty and meaningless life.
After killing his friend Lensky, he still feels remorse. Does this tragedy turn his life upside down? He goes on a trip around the world. In his absence, Tatyana marries another. And now Onegin already likes her. He falls in love with her, but she cannot reciprocate, although she continues to love Onegin in her soul. I personally do not believe in Onegin's love. In my opinion, people rarely change. As he was an egoist, he remained. Give your child his favorite toy! Without hesitation, he is able to destroy the lives of two people - Tatyana and her husband. You cannot build your happiness on the misfortune of others. But Tatyana turned out to be smarter and wiser.
Onegin evokes neither pity nor sympathy in me. An empty, useless person. And it’s even very good that he didn’t respond to Tatyana’s feelings. I would quickly play enough with it and throw it away like a boring toy. Onegin is not used to taking responsibility for his actions. He was used to the fact that women in St. Petersburg themselves hung themselves around his neck. And so, at least, the husband loves Tatyana and will not leave her as unnecessary.
Perhaps Pushkin wrote Onegin from himself, endowing him with his own character traits. He also loved the attention of women. And he was called to a duel because of a woman. True, for him it ended tragically.

MY ATTITUDE TO ONEGIN
Pushkin is a truly Russian poet, and the first, truly national Russian poem in verse was and is Eugene Onegin. About nine years, almost half of his creative life, Pushkin gave to the creation of his novel. Such a wide coverage of life, which is given in the novel, has not yet been in any work of world literature.
In his novel, the poet decided to give the image of a representative of the noble intelligentsia typical of the early 19th century, who was not a member of secret political societies, but was critical of the secular way of life, protested against the conventions of the world that fettered the freedom of the human person. Such a hero in the novel is Eugene Onegin.
When I read the pages of the novel that dealt with this hero, I thought about how one could live like that, how Onegin lived: balls, restaurants, dinners, lunches, walks. Where is the labor? How long can you live like this? Where it leads?
And there is nothing surprising here. After all, Onegin is an aristocrat, all material goods for such people are created by serfs who have nothing, but work for the luxury and bliss of serf-owners. Onegin was brought up in the spirit of an aristocratic culture, divorced from national and popular soil. The corrupting influence of high society further removed Onegin from the people. But, it should be noted, Onegin had some features that distinguished him from the general mass of aristocratic youth. : "involuntary devotion to dreams, inimitable composure and a rare chilled mind" , sense of honor, nobility of soul. I like this in Onegin, such people, of course, cannot lead such a lifestyle for a long time. They want, I think, something bigger and better. Therefore, we notice that very soon Onegin is overcome by spleen, he is disappointed in the life and values of secular society, he is dissatisfied with the political and social situation. Onegin leaves secular society. He decided to do useful work, he wanted to write, but he did not succeed. And why? Because Onegin was not accustomed to work. Therefore, the struggle with spiritual emptiness through reading books was unsuccessful, and the arrangement of the life of the peasants on the estate ended with only one reform.
Beautiful rural nature did not bring satisfaction. He did not even respond to the love of such a beautiful girl as Tatyana. Lensky is killed in a duel. I believe that Onegin did not want to kill a friend at all. And why did this happen? Onegin was simply afraid of secular gossip. Of course, he acted unfairly here.
And here is Onegin alone. Onegin's extraordinary mind, his freedom-loving mood and critical attitude to reality put him high above the noble crowd, especially among the local nobility. But what's next? How to be such a person? It is necessary, I think, to think about activities that are useful to the people. Naturally, Onegin cannot do this, because he is cut off from the life of the people, from the poor national soil. There are no public activities. All this condemns people like Onegin to complete loneliness. Yes, such a mind, such forces remained without use. And how many useful things such people could do for the state, for the people.
Onegin is a representative of that part of the noble intelligentsia, which was critical of the way of life of the noble society and government policy, and therefore did not serve tsarism, but it also stood aside from social and political activities. The path of searching for these people went in isolation from society and from the people. Pushkin condemned this path of the individualist hero, which makes him socially useless and "superfluous person". It is a pity that the forces of such people were left without use, life - without meaning.
Belinsky wrote: “In his poem, Pushkin was able to touch on so many things, to hint about so many things, that he belongs exclusively to the world of Russian nature, to the world of Russian society” .
My opinion about Onegin The novel "Eugene Onegin" occupies a central place in Pushkin's work. This is his largest work of art, the richest in content. "Now I am writing not a novel, but a novel in verse - a diabolical difference!" - Pushkin wrote to the poet P. A. Vyazemsky. Alexander Sergeevich put a lot of work into this novel in order to most accurately and poetically express his thoughts. The main character of the novel is Eugene Onegin, a man with a very complex and contradictory character. Onegin is the son of a rich gentleman. He did not have to work for a piece of bread, he did not know how and did not want to work - "Hard work was sickening to him." Every day Onegin spent with friends in a restaurant, visited the theater, balls, courted women. Onegin led the same idle and empty life in the countryside. Eugene grew up without a mother and was brought up by tutors. They taught him almost nothing. And, probably, that is why a real egoist came out of Onegin, a person who thinks only about himself, capable of easily offending. But, carefully reading the novel, I noticed that Onegin is a very intelligent, subtle and observant person. Even when for the first time, having caught a glimpse of Tatyana, without talking to her, he immediately felt a poetic soul in her. And, having received a letter from Tatyana, he, not being able to share her feelings, correctly and clearly decided to tell her directly about it. But Onegin could not resist his usual "coquetry" from a young age in dealing with women. And he writes: "There is no return to dreams and years; I will not renew my soul ... I love you with the love of a brother And, perhaps, even more tenderly." Selfishness and inattention to people at the end of the novel turn Onegin's life upside down. Having killed Lensky in a duel, he is horrified by his senseless crime. Onegin only thinks about him. He is not able to continue to live in those places where everything reminds him of his terrible crime. The image of the young man he killed does not leave Onegin even later, after returning from a three-year trip to Russia. Onegin meets Tatyana again. Onegin fell in love with Tatyana, and the strength of his feelings is such that he becomes seriously ill, almost dying of love. Having recovered, Eugene goes to Tatiana to see her at least once more and finds her at home alone. Here Onegin suffers the final collapse of his hopes for happiness: Tatyana resolutely refuses to connect her fate with his fate: "But I am given to another, I will be faithful to him for a century." In my opinion, Eugene Onegin has been doomed to inaction since childhood. He is incapable of love, friendship. Fine inclinations, such as intelligence, nobility, the ability to deeply and strongly feel, were suppressed by the environment in which he grew up. And in the novel, most of all, the accusation falls not on Onegin, but on the socio-historical way of life.
