In the poem by A. S. Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin" describes two periods of the life of the protagonist - Petersburg and village. With all the differences between the two ways of life, none of them brought Onegin happiness, awakening only "the desire to change places."
Instructions
Step 1
Eugene Onegin was born and raised in St. Petersburg. Despite the fact that his father "lived in debt" and "pledged land", the young man did not know the needs and worries. His education was unsystematic and superficial, but gave Onegin the opportunity "to touch everything lightly without being forced to talk about everything." Onegin looked at life with boredom, no business carried him away. At the same time, Pushkin endows his hero with the talent to remain friends with "blessed husbands." Obviously, the light, not without reason, thought that Onegin was "very nice."
Step 2
Onegin's Petersburg morning begins closer to noon with viewing invitations to evening entertainment. Then walk on the boulevard before lunch. Lunch time is more like dinner in a fancy restaurant. After dinner, the ballet, which is also already bored. From the theater Onegin hurries home to change for the ball. If a person has in his wardrobe everything that Paris invents and what “scrupulous London sells”, then changing clothes takes a lot of time. Therefore, Onegin is hurrying to the ball along the sleepy night street. "In bed from the ball half asleep" Onegin returns when St. Petersburg "is already awakened by the drum."
Step 3
Such a life quickly bored Onegin, awakened a blues in him. Onegin was about to take up his pen, but "hard work" turned out to be sick to him, and "nothing came out of his pen." Then Onegin indulged in reading, but he did not find consolation for himself in the books either. Onegin was already ready to embark on a long journey, but his father died, and for the first time in his life, the "eighteen-year-old philosopher" faced problems in the face of his father's creditors.
Step 4
Onegin went to the estate, ready to endure the village boredom for the sake of the inheritance of the landlord uncle, but unexpectedly for himself he was imbued with the novelty of sensations and wanted to become a villager. He even managed to establish a new order in his economy, replacing the peasants' corvee with an easy rent, but the blues overtook him in the countryside. Onegin avoided the society of neighboring landowners, became friends only with the young poet Lensky who had returned from abroad, but this friendship was destined to end in tragedy.
Step 5
So Onegin lived to be twenty-six years old - "without service, without a wife, without work, he could not do anything."
