Tatyana Larina is the ideal of the Russian soul. Tatyana is the ideal Russian woman. The best qualities of Tatyana Larina

Giving a characterization of the novel, V. G. Belinsky noted that “the soul of the poet was embodied in ““.” The image in the novel is all the more significant because it expresses the lofty ideals of Pushkin himself. Starting from Chapter III, Tatyana, along with Onegin, becomes the main character of the events.

The author talks about her childhood, about the nature around her, about her upbringing. Her life in the village, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, a letter to Onegin, a “wonderful dream,” dreams and actions - everything attracts the author’s attention. Tatyana grew up and was brought up in the village. The atmosphere of Russian customs and folk traditions was a fertile soil on which the noble girl’s love for the people grew and strengthened.

She is very close to her nanny, who reminds us very much of Pushkin's nanny, Arina Rodionovna. “Russian in soul,” according to the poet’s description, Tatiana loves “the darkness of Epiphany evenings,” believes in “the legends of common folk antiquity, and dreams, and card fortune-telling, and moon predictions.” Tatyana thinks about the “villagers” and helps the poor. All this attracts the author himself to Tatyana. A dreamy and impressionable girl is captivated by the novels of Richardson and Rousseau. Reading books awakens Tatiana's thoughts; books open up an unfamiliar and rich world to her and develop her imagination. She differed from the local young ladies in the depth of her thoughts and feelings and therefore was alien to them. “I’m alone here, no one understands me,” she writes to Onegin. But, despite her passion for foreign literature, Tatyana, unlike Onegin and Lensky, was always connected with everything Russian and native. There is no affectation, sly coquetry, or sentimental sensuality of book heroines in her. She is full of sincerity and purity in her feelings. She is attracted by Evgeniy’s originality. All the heroes of the novels we read “put on a single appearance, merged into one Eugene.” She shows courage, breaking traditional rules for girls, and is the first to declare her love in a letter to Onegin:

My whole life was a pledge
The faithful date with you.

Onegin rejected the love of the “village girl.” But Tatyana continues to love him. She visits Onegin's house, reads books and notes in them, trying to understand him.

Three years later they met. She moves in high society, the wife of a distinguished man. But Tatyana remains the same girl, dear to the author’s heart. Contempt for the vulgarity of the world, for the luxury of the surrounding life, for the pettiness of interests is heard in her words:

Now I'm glad to give
All this rags of a masquerade,
All this shine, and noise, and fumes
For a shelf of books, for a wild garden,
For our poor home.

It is her judgments about mental squalor and limited interests of noble society that completely coincide with the author’s assessments. Pushkin looks at noble Moscow through the eyes of Tatyana, shares her opinion about the “emptiness” of the world, “where no change is visible,” and “everything is like the old model.”

In the scene of her last meeting with Onegin, her high spiritual qualities are revealed: moral impeccability, truthfulness, loyalty to duty, determination. Yes, she still loves Onegin, but her integral nature, brought up in the traditions of folk morality, does not allow her to build her happiness on the grief of another person. In her struggle between feelings and duty, duty wins:

But I was given to someone else
I will be faithful to him forever.

Tatiana's fate is no less tragic than the fate of Onegin. But her tragedy is different. Life has broken and distorted Onegin’s character, turning him into “smart uselessness,” according to Herzen’s definition. Tatyana's character has not changed, although life has brought her nothing but suffering.

In lyrical digressions, Pushkin admits that Tatyana is his ideal Russian woman, that in her he expressed his attitude towards secular and rural life. In it, according to the poet, the best qualities of the Russian character are harmoniously combined.

In the novel “Eugene Onegin,” Pushkin not only created the image of his contemporary, but reflected his century in poetic form. In every line of the novel, in every action and in every thought of the characters - Pushkin himself. But, revealing himself through his heroes, Pushkin could not help but convey to the reader his ideas about female beauty - beauty not only external, but also internal, spiritual. Every person, and especially a poet, has his own ideas and dreams “about an earthly angel.” That is why, probably, in Russian literature women are glorified with particular sophistication. Pushkin’s “sweet ideal” - his Tatyana - is the very beauty that will save the world. When you read a novel or repeat your favorite lines to yourself, you always involuntarily forget that Tatyana Larina is just a dream, Pushkin’s idea of ​​what a woman should be like, worthy of the admiration and love of him, a poet, “one of the most the smartest men of Russia." It seems that Tatyana is a living, real person. And even in Mikhailovsky, in the museum-estate of A.S. Pushkin, the bench on which Tatyana sat, listening to the first cruel lesson of Onegin in her life, has been preserved. So who is she - the dream of Pushkin himself?

Sensitivity, sentimentality, spiritual sublimity, purity, the ability to empathize and understand what others do not see - these are Tatyana’s most attractive traits. It is the subtle inner world that makes Tatyana special and unique. Pushkin skillfully paints a portrait of his beloved heroine. It does not contain a clear description of her external appearance, but her soul is reflected in its entirety:

Dick, sad, silent,

Like a forest deer, timid...

Thoughtfulness, her friend

From the most lullabies of days,

The flow of rural leisure

Decorated her with dreams.

You can quote Pushkin further, but the image of Tatyana will still remain incomprehensible, barely perceptible and mysterious. Her soul is closely connected with nature. The landscapes against which the events of the novel take place complement the state and feelings of the heroine, perfectly expressing what is difficult to convey in words.

Pushkin singles out Tatyana from the noble society surrounding her only because she is higher in development than many of its representatives. The beauty of nature, constant solitude, the habit of thinking independently, and her natural mind shaped her inner world.

Tatyana is romantic and sentimental. She is attracted to novels, which replace her lack of spiritual communication and provide food for her mind and imagination; Tatyana’s idea of ​​life is also formed under the influence of novels. For herself, she had already mentally created her hero, her ideal. He has features of Volmar, Werther, Grandison. He (like Tatyana herself) is unique, original, noble. When the time for love came, this ideal was destined to be embodied in Onegin. What attracts Tatyana to him? Maybe independence, difference from everyone she knew before? It's hard to say what exactly.

Gradually, Onegin, a knight in Tatiana’s eyes, reveals the face of a skeptic, a realist, incapable of love (at that moment). This torments her, she tries to understand her idol - and cannot.

Larina’s letter amazes with the power of feeling, the subtlety of her mind, and is full of modesty and sincerity. Onegin did not see the main thing in Tatyana: she is one of those integral natures who can love only once. Onegin was touched by the letter, but nothing more. He says to Tatyana: “No matter how much I love you, having gotten used to it, I will stop loving you immediately.”

The duel with its tragic outcome turned the lives of all the heroes of the novel upside down. Evgeny and Olga leave the village. Everything that happened left a deep mark on Tatyana’s soul, influenced her character and changed her fate. However, her love for Onegin has not faded away - she is alive, but now Tatyana realized that she cannot live by feelings alone, they do not always have to be shown openly. Time flies. Tatyana is no longer a child, and, at the insistence of her mother, she goes to Moscow, where they marry her to a general. And Tatyana turns from a “gentle girl” into an impeccable, sophisticated “legislator.” His pride, nobility, and refined taste are genuine. And inaccessibility, indifference and carelessness are the masks that Pushkin’s heroine is forced to wear under the pressure of the harsh laws of the world. But her feelings live, fill her heart, although they are deeply hidden, tightly locked. But in her soul she remains the same Tatyana. Her heart yearns to go back: to the old house, to the fields, forests, to the world where she lived without hiding her feelings, where she did not need a mask. But even in a brilliant and strict secular environment, she cannot completely restrain her feelings for Onegin:

She doesn't pick him up

And, without taking my eyes off him,

Doesn't take away from greedy lips

Your insensitive hand...

And yet Tatyana cannot free herself from the light, despite the depth of her feelings, when she “clears everything,” when she shares Onegin’s love. She refuses Onegin. This is her tragedy. The tragedy of all the heroes of the novel. They do not understand each other, being under the rule of social prejudices.

What is Tatyana's attractiveness? Why might she like it? Maybe because you can find common features with yourself in her? She has an irresistible need to feel, to love, which is now becoming less and less common. You can probably disagree with her in many ways, but her purity, originality, ability to transform, her spirituality are amazing. You can learn a lot from her by going through the entire complex, incomprehensible, and somewhat bitter path with her. She deserves to become a true friend, from whom it is always a pity to part with.

Tatyana is a determined Russian woman who could follow her lover even to Siberia, as the Decembrists did. The whole point is that Onegin is not a Decembrist. In the image of Tatyana Larina, Pushkin embodied the traits of an independent female character, but only in the field of personal, family, and social relationships. Subsequently, many Russian writers - Turgenev, Chernyshevsky, Ne-krasov - in their works raised the question of the rights of Russian women, the need for her to enter the wide arena of socio-political activity. Each writer has his own idea of ​​the female ideal. For Leo Tolstoy it is Natasha Rostova, for Lermontov it is Vera from “A Hero of Our Time”, for Pushkin it is Tatyana Larina.

In our reality, the appearance of “sweet femininity” has acquired a slightly different outline. The modern woman is more businesslike, energetic, she has to solve many problems, but the essence of the soul of a Russian woman remains the same: pride, honor, tenderness - everything that Pushkin so valued in Tatyana.

“Sweet ideal” of a woman in Russian literature. There are so many works dedicated to you. Many authors created wonderful works in which they glorified female beauty and charm, and talked about their “sweet ideal” of a woman. In art, such a miracle is possible when an artist falls in love with his own creation. Probably, while working on the novel “Eugene Onegin,” Pushkin admired the image of a wonderful girl coming to life under his pen. He lovingly describes her appearance, strength of feelings, “sweet simplicity.” He admits: “I love my dear Tatyana so much.” “Tatiana, dear Tatyana! Now I'm shedding tears with you..."

They often talk about “Turgenev girls”. These images will forever disturb the imagination with their femininity, purity, sincerity and strength of character. But it seems to me that the “Pushkin girls” are the ideal of female charm. Masha Troekurova from “Dubrovsky”, Masha Mironova from “The Captain’s Daughter”, Marya Gavrilovna from “Blizzard”... Apparently, Maria is the poet’s favorite female name. But the most “famous” of all Pushkin’s heroines is Tatyana Larina. But why did the author choose this name? Pushkin himself explains it this way: “The most sweet-sounding Greek names, such as, for example: Agathon, Filat, Fedora, Thekla and others, are used among us only among common people.” And he explains in the following lines:

For the first time with such a name

Tender pages of the novel

We willfully sanctify.

So what? it is pleasant, sonorous:

But with him, I know, it’s inseparable

Memories of antiquity Ile maiden!

It was Pushkin who revealed to us the beauty of an ordinary Russian name.

The point, then, is not in the name, but in who bears it - after all, the surnames Pushkin, Glinka, Tolstoy would seem funny to us if they were not, first of all, great. Also names. Pushkin named his heroine Tatyana, and for more than a century and a half this name sounds especially warm to us, especially in Russian.

In the novel, we first meet Tatiana at her parents' estate. The Larins' village is a lovely corner. Tanya’s father “was a kind fellow, belated in the last century,” Pushkin sneers. The mother ran the entire household. The life of the family proceeded peacefully and calmly. Neighbors often came “to complain, and to curse, and to laugh about something.” This is the atmosphere in which Tatyana was brought up. She “believed in the legends of common folk antiquity, and dreams, and card fortune-telling,” she was “disturbed by omens,”

...scary stories

In winter in the dark of nights

They captivated her heart more...

But in her character, already from childhood, there was something that distinguished the heroine from other girls in her circle. She did not caress her parents, played little with children, did not do needlework, and was not interested in fashion.

But even in these years Tatyana did not pick up dolls;

About the news of the city, about fashion. I didn’t have conversations with her.

Since childhood, she was distinguished by her dreaminess and lived a special inner life. And therefore “she seemed like a stranger in her own family.”

...She loved to warn the sunrise on the balcony...

Tatyana lived among nature and loved it:

Tatiana (Russian soul,

Without knowing why)

With its cold beauty I loved the Russian winter.

Pushkin writes about his heroine seriously and respectfully. He notes her spirituality and poetry. With understanding, Pushkin describes how Tatyana’s feeling of love awakens:

Her imagination has long been

Burning with bliss and melancholy,

Hungry for fatal food;

For a long time, heartache had oppressed her young chest;

The soul was waiting for... someone.

And she waited... The eyes opened;

She said: it's him!

Tatyana is trying to break out of the usual circle for a rural young lady. She is the first! - writes a letter to Onegin:

I am writing to you - what more?

What more can I say?

Now, I know, it is in your will to punish Me with contempt.

Tatyana's letter is an impulse, confusion, passion, melancholy, a dream, and at the same time it is all genuine. It was written by a Russian girl, inexperienced, tender and lonely, sensitive and shy.

Even in our time, it is not customary for a girl to be the first to reveal her love. In the time of Pushkin, such an act was completely indecent. But she has a great defender - Pushkin. He compares the sincere, simple-minded Tatyana with the girls and women of the world, and we look with antipathy at the “freaks” depicted by Pushkin:

Inspiring love is a problem for them,

It's their joy to scare people...

...The coquette judges in cold blood...

...she says: let's put it aside -

We will multiply the price of love,

Or rather, let’s start it online...

All these ladies are disgusting with their insincerity. But for Pushkin, unnaturalness, hypocrisy, falsehood are a terrible evil! That’s why Pushkin defends Tatyana because

...in sweet simplicity She knows no deception And believes in her chosen dream...

Throughout the novel, we observe with what warmth and tenderness the author tells us about his heroine. Pushkin

loves Tatyana, and, perhaps, nowhere is this felt more than in the eighth chapter, which describes the high society environment in which Tatyana managed to preserve her sincerity, naturalness, and living soul.

She was leisurely

Not cold, not talkative,

Without an insolent look for everyone,

Without pretensions to success,

Without these little antics,

No imitative ideas...

Everything was quiet, it was just there...

Time passed, Tatyana was married off, although her first love still lives in her heart. But she remains true to her duty. When they meet, she says to Onegin:

“I love you (why lie?),

But I was given to someone else;

I will be faithful to him forever.”

And now, in our time, every young man is looking for his ideal woman. And I think that many people associate this ideal with Tatyana Larina, because she combines the qualities that make a woman beautiful. Years pass, people, social conditions, aesthetic principles change, but those spiritual qualities that the “sweet ideal” of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin possesses will always be honored.

Dear women... There are so many works dedicated to you! Many authors created wonderful works in which they glorified female beauty and charm and talked about their “sweet ideal.” In art, such a miracle is possible when an artist falls in love with his own creation.

And now, in our time, every young man is looking for his ideal woman. And I think that many people associate this ideal with Tatyana Larina, because she combines the qualities that make a woman beautiful. Years pass, people, social conditions, aesthetic principles change, but those spiritual qualities that the “sweet ideal” of the great Russian poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin possesses will always be honored.

The image of Tatyana Larina is contrasted with the image of Onegin. For the first time in Russian literature, a female character is contrasted with a male one; Moreover, the female character turns out to be stronger and more sublime than the male one. Pushkin paints the image of Tatyana with great warmth, embodying in her the best features of a Russian woman. The author in his novel wanted to show an ordinary Russian girl. He emphasizes the absence of extraordinary, out-of-the-ordinary features in Tatyana. But at the same time, the heroine is surprisingly poetic and attractive. It is no coincidence that Pushkin gives her the common name Tatyana. By this he emphasizes the simplicity of the girl, her closeness to the people.

In his draft in Mikhailovsky, Pushkin wrote: “Poetry, like a comforting angel, saved me, and I was resurrected in soul.” In this comforting angel we immediately recognize Tatyana, who, like a guiding star, is always next to the poet throughout the entire novel. The author calls his heroine a simple name: “Her sister was called Tatyana.”

Tatiana - Russian at heart

Tatyana is a simple provincial girl, she is not beautiful and does not amaze the imagination with the abundance of contrasting features in her character. From the first acquaintance, the heroine captivates the reader with her integrity, spiritual beauty, the absence of pretense, affectation, and that artificial touch that girls brought up in the “society” received.

The character of Tatyana Larina is revealed to us both as a unique individuality and as a type of Russian girl living in a provincial noble family. Tatyana is a simple provincial girl, not endowed with special beauty. The author in his work tries to show us as accurately as possible a simple Russian “provincial young lady” with her feelings and thoughts. Tatyana is in many ways similar to other girls. She also “believed in the legends of the common folk of antiquity, and dreams, and card fortune-telling,” she was “disturbed by omens.” But even from childhood, Tatyana had a lot that set her apart from others; she even “seemed like a stranger in her own family.” She did not caress her parents, played little with the children, and did not do needlework.

But dolls even in these years

Tatyana didn’t take it in her hands;

About city news, about fashion

I didn’t have conversations with her.

From an early age she was distinguished by her dreaminess and lived a special inner life. The author emphasizes that the girl was devoid of coquetry and pretense - qualities that he so disliked in women.

From Pushkin’s description, one can understand that the heroine’s appearance is devoid of any beautiful features that writers of classical and sentimental works endowed the characters with:

Not your sister's beauty,

Nor the freshness of her ruddy

She didn't attract any attention.

Tatyana is brought up on an estate in the Larin family, faithful to the “habits of dear old times.” Representatives of provincial society are the Larin and Lensky families. Pushkin carefully describes their hobbies, how they used to spend their time. They did not read books and lived mainly on the relics of antiquity. Pushkin, revealing the character of Tatyana’s father, wrote: “Her father was a kind fellow, belated in the last century; But I saw no harm in the books; He, having never read, considered them an empty toy...” Pushkin A.S. . Eugene Onegin. Dramatic works. Novels. Stories.

M.: Artist. literature, 1977.- p.63 This was the majority of representatives of provincial society. But against the backdrop of this remote landowner province, the author depicts “sweet” Tatyana, with a pure soul and a kind heart. Why is this heroine so different from her loved ones, from her sister Olga, since they were raised in the same family? The girl’s character is formed under the influence of her nanny, whose prototype was the wonderful Arina Rodionovna. Tatyana grew up as a lonely, unkind girl. She did not like to play with her friends, she was immersed in her feelings and experiences. Early on I tried to understand the world around me, but I couldn’t find answers to my questions from my elders. And then she turned to books, which she believed completely.

Living in the village, Tatyana leads a natural lifestyle, getting up early and walking around the surroundings of the estate. The heroine lives in harmony with herself, but not with those around her: “nobody understands her,” so the heroine loves solitary walks, during which she dreams of the future, without fuss she “absorbs” the surrounding beauty, learns to understand the true values ​​of life. The life around her did little to satisfy her demanding soul. In books she saw interesting people whom she dreamed of meeting in her life. Communicating with the courtyard girls and listening to the stories of the nanny, Tatyana becomes acquainted with folk poetry and becomes imbued with love for it. Closeness to the people, to nature develops in Tatyana her moral qualities: spiritual simplicity, sincerity, artlessness. Tatyana is smart and unique. original. By nature she is gifted: A rebellious imagination, A living mind and will, And a wayward head, And a fiery and necessary heart. Her thoughtfulness and daydreaming make her stand out among the local inhabitants; she feels lonely among people who are unable to understand her spiritual needs.

Dick, sad, silent,

Like a forest deer is timid,

She is in her own family

The girl seemed like a stranger.

Tatyana's character is formed under the influence of her nanny, whose prototype for the poet was the wonderful Arina Rodionovna. Tatyana grew up as a lonely, unkind girl. She did not like to play with her friends, she was immersed in her feelings and experiences. She early tried to understand the world around her, but did not find answers to her questions from her elders.

Raising daughters in the Larin family boiled down to preparing them for marriage. But Tatyana differed from her sister in that she was madly fond of reading. Books, by which she judged life, played a big role in shaping Tatyana’s views and feelings; novels replaced everything for her, giving her the opportunity to find “her secret heat, her dreams, the fruits of heartfeltness.” Passion for books, immersion in another, fantastic world filled with all the colors of life, was not just entertainment for Tatyana. The girl was looking for something in him that she could not find in the real world.

She liked novels early on;

They replaced everything for her.

She fell in love with deceptions

And Richardson and Russo.

Perceiving the surrounding environment as alien, disgusting to every cell of her poetic soul, Tatyana created her own illusory world, in which goodness, beauty, love, and justice ruled. These romantic book heroes served as an example for Tatiana to create the ideal of her chosen one. “Tatiana’s entire inner world consisted of a thirst for love,” Belinsky V.G. Works by A.S. Pushkin, p. 26 - V. G. Belinsky rightly described the state of a girl left all day long to her secret dreams.

She is the “maiden of the forests.” The purity of Tatiana’s soul was protected by her proximity to another world, to people’s Russia, the personification of which was the nanny. Tatyana loves nature very much: she prefers solitary walks to playing with her peers. Her favorite season is winter:

Tatiana (Russian soul,

Without knowing why)

With her cold beauty

I loved Russian winter...

The life around her brought little joy to her demanding soul. In books, Tatyana saw interesting people whom she dreamed of meeting in her life. Communicating with the courtyard girls and listening to the stories of the nanny, Tatyana becomes acquainted with folk poetry and becomes imbued with love for it. Closeness to the people, to nature develops the best moral qualities in a girl: spiritual openness, sincerity, artlessness. Tatyana is smart, original, original. She is gifted by nature:

With a rebellious imagination,

Alive in mind and will,

And wayward head,

And with a fiery and tender heart.

With her intelligence and unique nature, she stands out among the landowners and secular society. She understands the vulgarity, idleness, and emptiness of life in village society and dreams of a person who would bring high content into her life and would be like the heroes of her favorite novels. The life of nature is close and familiar to her since childhood. This is the world of her soul, a world infinitely close. In this world, Tatyana is free from loneliness, from misunderstanding, here feelings find a response, the thirst for happiness becomes a natural, legitimate desire. And throughout her life, Tatyana retains this integrity and naturalness of nature, which are brought up only in communication with nature.
