Onegin in Tatyana’s life. Part I

Abstract

The 200th anniversary of the first chapter of “Eugene Onegin” publication is approaching (February 2025). 200 years of the novel’s existence in its entirety is not so far away. There are countless interpretations of the main characters accumulated during this time. There are also separate assessments of them from the poet himself. Meanwhile, the author’s holistic view of the characters is still in shadows. Some important details remain unnoticed. To understand the poet’s intention is a worthy goal for the researcher. Tatyana fell in love with Onegin from their first meeting, but in the beginning her love is based on intuition. Onegin remains a mystery for her – is he a “guardian angel, or an insidious tempter”?
