Onegin in Tatyana’s life. Part II

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. Pushkin outlined the milestones of Tatyana’s understanding of the hero: “more clearly”, “everything is clear”. These designations do not have the same clear interpretations. In the second part of the paper, the author attempts to find how Pushkin understands the heroine’s heart life.
