    Prepare a story about Onegin's life in St. Petersburg

    Run test tasks Annex No. 1)

Let's remember the history of the creation of the novel.

Survey:

How long did Pushkin write his novel? ( Pushkin created his novel for almost eight years).

How many chapters are in the novel? And how much was conceived by the author? ( There are 8 chapters in the novel, 10+ excerpts from Onegin's journey were conceived).

Was it printed right away? ( It was published in separate chapters).

( novel in verse)

Name the main storylines Onegin and Lensky, Onegin and Tatyana ).

What did Belinsky say about Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin"? ( "Encyclopedia of Russian life"). Why did Belinsky call Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin" an "encyclopedia of Russian life"? ( Pushkin's novel says so much about the life of Russia at the beginningXIX century, that if we knew nothing about this era and only read "Eugene Onegin" - we would still know a lot).

2. –

The protagonist of the novel is the young landowner Eugene Onegin. The social position and upbringing determined the main character traits of Onegin. He is the son of a wealthy gentleman, "the heir to all his relatives", also wealthy landowners. He did not need to work, he did not know how and did not want to work, “stubborn work was sickening to him.” In chapter 1, we learn about the idle life of this smart and noble young man in St. Petersburg - meeting friends in a restaurant, going to the theater, balls, courting women. He grew up without a mother; his father, foreign tutors were engaged in his upbringing. They taught the boy almost nothing, did not educate him in any way and only slightly scolded him for pranks. An egoist grew out of Onegin, a person who thinks only about himself, about his desires and pleasures, who does not know how to pay attention to the feelings, interests, suffering of other people, who can easily offend, insult, cause grief to a person.

3. Target setting

In the last lesson, we met Eugene Onegin, how he lived in St. Petersburg, what he did, what worried him and what made him sad, and today our task is to deepen work on the image of Eugene Onegin and try to penetrate into the artistic originality of the novel.

    Analysis of Chapter 2 "Onegin in the Village"

How did we leave the hero after reading chapter 1? ( There is boredom, there is deceit or delirium ... He was bored with the noise of light ...).

Why is it so often next to Onegin we see the word boredom? He is bored both in St. Petersburg and in the countryside. But after reading Chapter 1, we do not find others bored (with the exception of the author). Why is Onegin bored, while others are not burdened by idle secular life?

What is the main thing, without which there can be no complete life, according to Pushkin. A chart appears on the board:

FRIENDSHIP
LOVE
ACTIVITY (= BENEFITS)

Does Onegin have all this in the first chapter? No.

We confirm with examples: “Friends and friendship are tired”, “Treason managed to tire”, “I read, I read, but it was all to no avail ...”, “hard work was sickening to him”, “No, early feelings in him cooled down ...”.

- Onegin moved to live in the village. Why does Pushkin introduce Onegin into a different environment? (To show the hero in different situations. Here, in the village, Onegin found something to do, he decided to establish a new order).

How does chapter 2 start? (From the description of the village and the castle). Read out (1-2 stanzas)

What is the 3rd stanza talking about? (It tells about the life of Uncle Evgeny, who looking out the window and squashing flies.")

- In two lines - a whole life: forty years without work in a remote village! Once in the village, Eugene could repeat his uncle's life - what else can he do but scold the housekeeper and look out the window? But Onegin is not capable of such a thing.

Reading 4 stanzas.

-What transformations did Onegin make in his household?

- Replaced the corvée, which was too much for the peasants ( forced labor of a dependent peasant working with his own equipment on the landowner's farm) "easy" dues ( one of the duties of dependent peasants, which consists in paying tribute to the landowner in food or money). Onegin, who was the "owner of the factories", by transferring the peasants to rent, not only facilitated their work, but also significantly reduced their income.

- How did Onegin's neighbors, the landowners, react to this? Find lines. ("The most dangerous eccentric").

Why did the neighbors end their friendship with him? ("Act offended by such")

What is the opinion of the neighbors about him? (“Our neighbor is ignorant, crazy; he is a freemason ..”).

Freemason

- Onegin again remains completely alone, no one accepted his innovations (5 stanza). And here Pushkin introduces a new face into his novel Who Comes to the Village? (Vladimir Lensky arrives in the village).

Reading 6,7,8 stanzas .

Describe Vladimir Lensky. (Lensky is a landowner, rich, handsome, shoulder-length black curls, in full bloom, a poet. He came to the village from Germany).

(Like a bridegroom, since he was rich and good-looking).

(“Lensky, not having, of course, the desire to bear the bonds of marriage, with Onegin wished to make his acquaintance as short as possible”).

Why does Lensky get closer to Onegin? (The Russian provincial nobility was completely alien to him. And in this "desert, where only Eugene could appreciate his gifts ...".

Lensky approaches him: "They got together..."(stanza 13)

– What does Pushkin say about the friendship between Lensky and Onegin? ( "Nothing to do, friends." That is, their friendship was accidental).

Find in the text how Onegin relates to Lensky.

Lensky is a pure, enthusiastic soul, but at the same time naive in his dreams and the perfection of the world.

What are they arguing about? Reading of the 16th stanza. (The circle of their conversations is serious. The topics they touch on are the topics of thinking people).

- What brought Onegin and Lensky together? (Onegin was attracted to Lensky by his mind, erudition, and the desire to learn something new. And although he “listened to Lensky with a smile,” everything that his new friend lived, cherished, admired - all this was dear to Onegin, because he himself when - something was like that. All this brought Onegin and Lensky closer, they became inseparable. Lensky, having fallen in love for the first time, reveals to Onegin the secret of his heart). Reading verse 19 .

Reading 21.23.

Who is the poet in love with? What is her portrait? Describe her.

(Olga is written out in such detail: eyes, curls, a smile, a light camp - and so familiar! She is like everyone else! The most ordinary provincial young lady, behind the appearance of which there is nothing special, there is no inner content. There is nothing in the portrait that could explain Lensky's delight).

- With what feeling does Pushkin draw this image? (Ironically refers to the choice : "He bored me immensely").

- And Tatyana? Who was Tatyana? Reading stanzas 24-28 (Pushkin talks about what she was not,thereby emphasizing its unusualness, dissimilarity. If “everything is in Olga ... but take any novel ...”, then Tatyana has everything of her own, everything is unusual, she does not look like either girls from novels, or her sister Olga and her friends).

She was always dressed in fashion, she was taken to the crown without asking her advice, she cried at first, with her husband a little not divorced, but then got used to it, took up housekeeping and discovered the secret of how to manage her husband).

Find the lines describing what the wife did behind her husband's back. (XXXII) (She kept expenses, gave her peasants as soldiers, beat the maids angry - all this without asking her husband).

How did her husband treat her? (34 stanza) (He loved her, believed her, and he ate and drank in a dressing gown).

  • Reread chapter 3;
  • complete test tasks;
  • write out material for the characterization of Tatyana and Olga.

1. The measured life of the village and the stormy city life.

2. The figure of Princess Alina.

3. "Naturality" of the village and the capital.

In the first two chapters of A. S. Pushkin's poetic novel "Eugene Onegin" we see a village, calm, measured life and a stormy movement in the capital. The first chapter is mainly devoted to Onegin's lifestyle in the capital. The second chapter contains a description of rural life. “The village where Eugene was bored, / There was a lovely corner ... / The master’s house is solitary, / Fenced by a mountain from the winds, / Stood over the river. In the distance / In front of him, they were full of flowers and blossomed / Meadows and golden fields ... ”A.S. Pushkin does not idealize the village. The poet shows us the measured course of life characteristic of her. “The herds roamed the meadows, / And the empty vestibule expanded / The huge neglected garden, / The shelter of pensive dryads.” The poet uses completely different colors when describing the "frantic" life of the capital. There are no natural and calm colors. “... I would still love balls. / I love frenzied youth, / And crampedness, and brilliance, and joy, / And I will give a well-thought-out outfit ... ”The author also admires the life of the capital. "In the days of fun and desires / I was crazy about balls: / There is no place for confessions / And for delivering a letter."

Differently represented in the work and leisure of the inhabitants of such different places. In the second chapter, the poet shows us an example of the influence of living conditions on the fate and character of a person. Here the main figure is Princess Alina, Tatyana's Moscow cousin. When she was in society, she read Richardson and was always dressed in fashion and to her face. She was carried away by the "glorious dandy", the player and the guard sergeant. But fate and her parents decreed otherwise. Her husband took her to his village. After a little crying, she began to get used to the new way of life. She gave herself entirely to the new worries that now appeared in her. And her husband did not interfere in her affairs. Alina has become a real village dweller. “She went to work, / Salted mushrooms for the winter, / Went to the bathhouse on Saturdays, / She beat the maids in anger ...” It can be said that the new situation completely changed this woman. The world of the village became her second home, almost a second home.

Onegin is also initially fascinated by village life. Every thing he found by chance tells a lot about its owner. For example, he found in one of the cabinets an expense notebook “calendar of the eighth year”. “The old man, having many things to do, / He did not look at other books.” Onegin's life in the capital was filled with other things. “It used to be that he was still in bed: / They carry notes to him. / What? Invitations? In fact, / Three houses are calling for the evening.

Therefore, Eugene Onegin also did not become inactive in village life. “At first, our Eugene thought / To approve the new order ... / Yarem from corvée with old times / Replaced with light quitrent ...” But all his village innovations cause bewilderment among local residents. They silently decide that he is "the most dangerous eccentric." This shows another opposition between the capital and the countryside. No matter how idle life in the capital is, it is she who first perceives the new trends of the times. After all, the villagers not only did not follow the innovation introduced by Onegin, but also considered it an eccentricity. The village lives in its own, closed world, according to its age-old customs. Village life is just a storehouse for storing and passing on from generation to generation of traditions, signs. "They kept in a peaceful life / Habits of dear old times." And how could it be otherwise, if their whole life passed according to the folk calendar. On Shrove Tuesday - pancakes, twice a year - fasting, on Trinity Day - a prayer service. However, in addition to the religious routine, the life of the village is filled with Russian folk songs, rituals, and in them, as in legends, the history of many generations is transmitted.

All this does not exist for metropolitan life - there are other interests, aspirations, memories. Such a life is filled not so much with practical matters and troubles as with entertainment: "... then he looked at the stage / In a great distraction / Turned away and yawned ..." Boredom is an indispensable companion of Eugene Onegin both in the capital and the countryside. When the neighbors stopped friendship with him, out of boredom he became a friend of Lensky.

The most striking representative of village life can be called Tatyana, who appears in the second chapter of the novel. Since childhood, she was brought up in this environment.

No wonder Pushkin calls her wild. “Wild, sad, silent / Like a timid doe in the forest ...” These two lines reveal another quality of a villager - naturalness. The world of the village is closest to nature. Sometimes it seems that the village is a separate community that harmoniously fits into the life of nature. And a person living according to its laws is pure in soul, more developed spiritually. Perhaps that is why the description of Tatyana does not slip the notes of boredom that fills Onegin's life. The beauty of Russian nature is connected with the image of Tatyana in the narrative: “She loved on the balcony / To warn the dawn of dawn, / When the round dance disappears in the pale sky / The stars disappear ...” With such a description, a magical, magical picture arises in our imagination. Like Tatyana, we seem to be witnessing the birth of a new day. “And quietly the edge of the earth brightens / And the messenger of the morning, the wind blows, / And the day gradually rises.” Only a calm, rural life allows you to get in touch with such a miracle. Metropolitan life is too fast to see this splendor. There, the glare of the morning sun is eclipsed by the lanterns. The horizon is lost among the silhouettes of buildings. The life of the capital, described in the novel, is mostly at night. And therefore, the inhabitants of her meet the sunrise, as a rule, still in bed. Therefore, they are inaccessible to the charm and poetry of the resurgent sun, with which each new day of the villagers begins.

In the novel, Pushkin quite vividly shows two different, sometimes seemingly opposite, but very dear worlds - capitals and villages. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. They manifest themselves mainly through the images of the main characters and descriptions of their lives. Rural life, based on legends and traditions, is closer to mother nature. He is measured, unhurried, quiet. But the life of the capital is full of new trends of the times. Not burdened by the traditions of antiquity, it is easier to perceive everything new. Here, not nature, but people are the masters of life, dictate their own laws.

So it is impossible to unambiguously answer which of the two worlds is better - capital or rural. It would be more correct to say that both worlds are vividly, clearly and originally presented by A. S. Pushkin in the novel "Eugene Onegin".

Was fed up. He was not truly in love with anyone, he did not have an interesting occupation, hobbies. He was bored by the abundance of entertainment, and continued to amuse himself out of boredom.

At first, upon arrival in the village, everything seemed new to Yevgeny. He enjoyed the country air, walked with pleasure. But very quickly he got bored here too. The only thing he had enough

He avoided acquaintance with his neighbors, with the same landowners as he himself was. He looked down on everyone. And when someone came to him, Onegin, like a naughty boy, ran away from the house through the backyard.

That he is the most dangerous eccentric.

True, when at the same time a graduate of the University of Gottingham, Onegin, appeared in their area. Lensky was still a sentimental youth, and perhaps 26-year-old Onegin, he reminded him of his youthful dreams, hopes, aspirations. This young man was very different from his Petersburg acquaintances, and therefore he enjoyed communication with Lensky. Although

Onegin met with Lensky almost every day. They rode horses, sat in Onegin's living room, sipping wine and talking about feelings, about politics, about the international situation.

Lensky was in love with the daughter of the landowners-neighbors Larins, and he was there in the evenings. Once Onegin asked to go with him to visit the Larins, which made a lot of noise among inquisitive neighbors. This acquaintance did not make much of an impression on Onegin himself. It seemed to Lensky that his friend was bored in this sweet and kind family. Perhaps he would never have come to the Larins again if she had not written to him. He considered it his duty to explain himself to her.

Onegin's days in the village were rather monotonous. In the summer he got up quite early and bathed in the river. Then he drank coffee.

These lines show that Onegin lived very well in the countryside. Even here, in this wilderness, he found "young black-eyed whites and a fresh kiss."

Summer is over and autumn has come. The time is boring: sometimes rains, sometimes frosts. You don't ride a horse. And the animal will suffer on the icy road, and you yourself can be crippled. All that remains is to read Walter Scott, to make calculations and drive billiard balls with a cue. Boring. This boredom was diluted by Lensky, who came on a troika of horses, and with whom Onegin dined, drinking a bottle of French wine.
The quiet, blessed life in the village was over for Onegin when, being invited to, he got angry with Lensky, and to tease him, began to flirt with.

Lensky was really furious. The very next day, he turned to a neighbor, known for his adventures, to become his second. Onegin did not take the duel seriously. He did not even bother to find a second equal to him in class. He did not want to kill his young friend, he fired without aiming. And killed. After such a tragic death of Lensky, Onegin could not stay in the village and soon left it. But he did not return to Petersburg either, having gone on a long journey.

Onegin was demonic in the sense that he was able to influence the fate of people. If he had not appeared in Tatyana's life, she, who knows, would really have married one of the closest neighbors, with whom she had grown up next to and whom she knew well. Onegin was not like anyone, he was a new person, and therefore she felt attracted to him, she learned what true love is. Having met Onegin, she experienced passion. If Evgeny had not started flirting with Olga, there would have been no fatal duel, Lensky would have married Olga. And they would live quietly next to Larina, giving her grandchildren. And so. Olga left somewhere with a lancer, Tatyana lived in Petersburg, and mother was left completely alone in her estate. That's how Onegin burst into a whirlwind into someone else's life and dramatically changed it.

Onegin hoped that the village would somehow brighten up his life, but after two days, during which he had fun and got used to the new environment, he was bored with everything there. Onegin's feelings cooled down, and along with the feelings, the soul also fell asleep.
After the first meeting and receiving Tatyana's letter, Onegin changed. He began to think about the people around him, about their fate:
“But, having received Tanya’s message,
Onegin was vividly touched;
The language of girlish dreams
A swarm of thoughts disturbed him ... "
Even when meeting Tatyana in the garden, Onegin confesses to her brotherly love:
“Dreams and years have no return;
I will not renew my soul...
I love you brother love
And maybe even more tender.
He gave Tatyana advice to learn to control himself, Pushkin himself approves of his noble deed.
Onegin's way of life has also changed. Pushkin describes it this way:
“Onegin lived as an anchorite;
At the seventh hour he got up in the summer
And went light
To the river running under the mountain;
I imitated the singer Gulnara,
This Hellespont swam across,
Then I drank my coffee
Going through a bad magazine
And dressed...
... Here is Onegin's holy life;
And he is insensitive to her
Surrendered, red summer days
In careless bliss did not consider
Forgetting the city and friends
And boredom of festive undertakings.
Pushkin calls Onegin's life in the countryside "saint", which cannot be said about his city life.
Onegin's feelings wake up after a quarrel with Lensky, he is tormented by remorse because of an unfair act. He doubts that the duel will take place, he has the idea to prevent it and make peace with Lensky. But the order of secular society, rumors about his cowardice in case of refusal to duel frighten him, and he decides to shoot himself.
After the murder of Lensky, Onegin, unable to find peace, leaves.

Of course, the artistic space in "Eugene Onegin" is not limited to the depiction of cities. One of the significant places in the novel is occupied by images inspired by the Russian village. Moreover, this concept from the very first appearance in the novel becomes symbolic in a certain sense. This is evidenced by the epigraphs prefaced by Pushkin to the second chapter: "O rus! .. (Hor.) - O Rus!" This famous epigraph was referred to more than once by Yu.M. Lotman, N.N. Skatov, V.A. Koshelev, speaking about the play on words: Latin "rus" ("village") and Russian "Rus". Pushkin gives a punning translation, taking advantage of the coincidence of the sound of these words. V.A. Koshelev rightly believes that “under the pen of a Russian writer, this supposedly joking pun inevitably acquired an “expanding” meaning”131. No less legitimate is the remark of the literary critic G.P. Makogonenko, who wrote: “Petersburg, with its pool of light and the culture of the capital’s nobility torn off from the national soil, was opposed by Rus' – the keeper of national traditions, rituals and mores, the high poetic culture of the people, ... the world of the Russian village”132.
Without a doubt, in our perception, Pushkin's spatial comparison "Rus - village" has a number of additional semantic shades. It is known, for example, that the Enlightenment had an exceptionally strong impact on Russian culture, especially that side of this phenomenon that is associated with the concept of “natural man” by J.-J. Rousseau, which was reflected in Russian sentimentalism and further developed in Russian literature and philosophy. Perhaps it is not for nothing that Pushkin's beloved heroine Tatyana is so passionate about European sentimental novels: the Rousseauist perception of the world and man is firmly rooted in Russian soil. The main opposition of the Enlightenment - "Nature - prejudice", "natural - perverted" received a special interpretation in the work of Pushkin. Very correctly noted Yu.M. Lotman: “The disastrous civilization ... is opposed by the natural life of the Russian peasant, the bearer of healthy morality and natural virtues ... The natural began to be identified with the national. In the Russian man they saw a "man of Nature", in the Russian language - a natural language created by Nature herself"133.
The village is an image of a different lifestyle, different from life in the capitals,
and hence, a symbol of boredom, isolation from public fun: “... and in the village boredom is the same ...” (V, 32), “In the wilderness, in the village everything is boring for you ...” (V, 70), “The village at that time / / Involuntarily bothers the eye / / Monotonous nudity ... ”(V, 94), etc. After the rapid movement of the first chapter, the reader finds himself in a slow, static and almost silent space: “Onegin opened the cupboards; / / In one he found an expense book, / / In another, there is a whole line of liqueurs, / / ​​Pitchers with apple water / / And the calendar of the eighth year ”(V, 37). “Time seems to have stopped in a hurry, marking the abyss that separates Russia, St. Petersburg and rural Russia”134, such is the subtle observation of V.S. Nepomniachtchi. According to V.A. Koshelev, the chapter on the village, compared to other chapters, is “the most “non-informative” and the most descriptive; the only plot significant event in it is Onegin’s “rebuke”, which, as it were, cuts off the ensuing love plot”135. Further, the daily village life of the heroes is described, a picture of the coming autumn and winter is drawn, and everything ends with a dialogue between Onegin and Lensky: an invitation to Tatyana's future name day. And, nevertheless, this most eventless chapter turns out to be the most plot-oriented, because Onegin’s “rebuke” gets continued, and the invitation to “his family” will become fatal: it is from him that the future tragedy of the novel’s heroes begins to unfold.
According to the exact statement of V.A. Koshelev, “a village comparable to Russia suddenly turns into an unusual side and, combining “boredom” and “bliss”, “ordinary” and “special physiognomy”, changes established ideas and deeds”136.
Perhaps the main thing in the image of the village should be considered that it is, first of all, a symbol of "naturalness":
Flowers, love, village, idleness,
Fields! I'm devoted to you...
(V, 33)

... She is a dream
Strives for the life of the field,
To the village…
(V, 163)

Descriptions of nature have an important place in the novel. The landscape is present in "Eugene Onegin" in the form of detailed completed paintings, outwardly acting as a kind of introduction to individual chapters or anticipating new plot episodes within the chapters. In general, the landscape, like everyday life, serves to create in the novel that real situation in which the events developing in it take place. The plot content of most of the novel is connected with the rural theme, so it is natural that the author pays great attention to landscape sketches. After Onegin's arrival in his uncle's village, a description of nature follows:
Before him were full of flowers and blossomed
Meadows and fields of gold,
Villages flashed by; here and there
The herds roamed the meadows,
And the canopy expanded thick
Huge, neglected garden,
Haven of pensive dryads.
(V, 36)

“Shelter of calm”, “charming corner” - this is the main leitmotif of the image of the rural landscape of this stanza of the novel. And accordingly, the overall stylistic tone of the picture is not without an element of idyllicity. As the researcher Yu. Stennik rightly noted, “the tonality of the image of nature is close to the nomenclature stencil of a traditional sentimental landscape, a kind of“ shelter ”of an exile of light:“ secluded fields ”,“ gloomy oak forest ”,“ the murmur of a quiet stream ”- these are all classic signs of a generalized elegiac landscape ascending in Russian poetry to sentimentalism"137. And if we take into account that this nomenclature partly serves to reveal the appearance of the bored Onegin, then we have before us one of the methods of Pushkin's characterology. We see something completely different when the image of nature is correlated with the image of Tatyana: the romantic coloring of the landscape is explained by the romantic worldview of the heroine herself. Her inner closeness to the natural world is an undeniable indication of her organic, moral health. The landscape affects the most lyrical feelings in the reader, causing him deep empathy and sympathy for the deeds and thoughts of the characters, understanding the feelings of the author. In the seventh chapter of the novel, before leaving for Moscow, Tatyana sadly says goodbye to her native places:
"Sorry, peaceful valleys,
And you, familiar mountain peaks,
And you, familiar forests;
I'm sorry, heavenly beauty,
Sorry, cheerful nature;
Change sweet, quiet light
To the noise of brilliant vanities ... "
(V, 152)

D.S. Likhachev wrote that “for many past centuries, there has been a balance between nature and man... For Russians, nature has always been freedom, will, freedom... Since ancient times, Russian culture has considered freedom and space to be the greatest aesthetic and ethical good for man”138. Based on this statement, we can say that the "Russian soul" Pushkin's heroine says goodbye to nature as a living witness to her former free, quiet life.
Yu.M. Lotman expresses an interesting idea about the spatial image of the world created by each, including Russian, culture. “The relationship between a person and the spatial image of the world is complex,” the researcher writes. “On the one hand, this image is created by a person, on the other hand, it actively forms a person immersed in it.”139 In a narrow sense, this image is an “environment” that forms a personality, and it has been repeatedly noted that Onegin and Tatyana found themselves in different conditions, which affected the formation of their characters and views of the world.
We can conclude that through the connections that exist (or, on the contrary, do not exist) between the characters and nature, the author can internally characterize them, determine their moral and spiritual value. As G.D. Gachev, “the first, obvious thing that determines the face of a people is Nature, among which it grows and makes its history.<…>The figurative arsenal of national culture (archetypes, symbols) is also rooted here, ... all of them are very stable. You can’t change it [nature] without losing your national essence.” The researcher resorts to a broad generalization, and his statement confirms our idea that nature for Pushkin is one of the most effective means of recreating the picture of the Russian world, the life of the people, the country, the movement of history.
Russian nature in the novel "Eugene Onegin" is a kind of foundation, without which and outside of which historical life would look like inhuman and abstract, saying nothing to the mind and heart of the reader. V.G. Belinsky argued that it was impossible "to be original and independent without being popular", and called Pushkin a true artist of Russian literature. Indeed, Pushkin's nationality is in an organic connection with Russian nature, the life and worldview of the people.
