Tired of the upper class life, Onegin came to the countryside of other provinces and became friends with the enthusiastic and simple young poet Lensky, and under his introduction he met the old lady Lalina and her family. Lalina's second daughter, the lively Olga, fell in love with Lensky, while her eldest daughter, the quiet Tatiana, fell in love with Onegin. But Onegin already had prejudices against family life and did not want to be bound by the family, so he rejected Tatiana. Because Lensky dragged him to a noisy social event and his presence embarrassed Tatiana, Onegin deliberately got close to Olga to annoy Lensky. The young poet was furious and proposed a duel. Onegin accepted the challenge out of the abnormal sense of honor of the upper class, and turned the lie into reality and killed his friend. Afterwards, Onegin was condemned by his conscience and wandered around the world. By the time he saw Tatiana again at a social event, she had already married a general out of reluctance. At this time, Onegin suddenly developed an old love, but was rejected. Finally, the story ends with Onegin's embarrassing scene. This ordinary love story was written by the author in a specific era context, giving it profound social and historical significance.
Introduction to Pushkin:
Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (1799-1837) was the first Russian writer with world influence. He is the main representative of Russian romantic literature and the founder of Russian realist literature. He is hailed by Gorky as "the ancestor of Russian literature" and "the great Russian people's poet". The peak of Russian literature in the nineteenth century began with Pushkin. The most important work of this "Sun of Russian Poetry" is the poetic novel "Eugene Onegin". It is the foundation work of Russian realist literature. This poetic work naturally has the lyricism of poetry; but it is also a realistic work, so the author calls it a "novel". When he started writing in 1823, Pushkin's creation was changing from romanticism to realism. Eight years later, "Eugene Onegin" was completed in 1830. It summarizes the author's entire creative experience before 1831, after which Pushkin turned to prose writing. The changes in this creative method and style are related to the social background. The first four chapters of "Eugene Onegin" were written before the Decembrist uprising, and the tone is relatively clear; from the fifth chapter on, the tone becomes gloomy and low, and the story becomes more and more tragic. Ending development. These are reflections of the atmosphere of the times.
