Read the story of Eugene Onegin in the right order (1 ~ 6). 7, Ded 3 4 5 6 ‘One of the greatest works of Russian literature is the poem Fugene Onegin by Aleksandr Pushkin (1799-1837). Ever since its publication in 1825 it has remained popular. It was made into an opera by the Russian composer Tchaikovsky and, a few ‘years ago, into a movie starring the British actor Ralph Ffienes. Eugene Onegin is called ‘an encyclopedia of Russian life’. In the story Madam Larina, a widow, who lives in the country with her two daughters, Olga and Tatiana. Olga is more cheerful and ‘outgoing than her sister; Tatiana spends her time reading romantic novels. Olga is engaged to the young landowner, Lensky. One day Lensky brings a friend from the city (St Petersburg) to visit Madam Larina and her daughters. He is Eugene Onegin, a man who has decided to be cynical, unemotional and bored by life. Tatiana doesn’t realise this and falls passionately in love with him almost the moment she sees him, She writes a letter to tell him sc, pouring out her adolescent heart, sure that he will answer her, But Onegin does not love Tatiana, of course. At least he does not love ‘Tove’, and so he tells her not to be so ridiculous. Tatiana is heartbroken. ‘A few days later Madam Larina throws a big party for Tatiana’s birthday. People come from all the estates near hers, and there is much dancing and singing, Onegin is there too, but he is ina strange mood and, for his own amusement, he starts flirting with Olga. He jokes with her and dances with her, so that Lensky is first jealous and then absolutely furious. He challenges Onegin to a duel. ‘The next morning, early, the two men meet. They both know that fighting each other is stupid, but they can't stop what is about to happen. They take out their pistols. Onegin fires first and Lensky, his friend, falls to the ground. Onegin has killed him and so he has no choice but to leave ~ and quickly. He goes to live abroad, away from Russia Three years later he returns to St Petersburg. Enough time has passed, he thinks, for people to have forgotten about Lensky’s death. On his first night back home he goes toa big ball. All of St Petersburg society is there. ‘Onegin sees a beautifull young girl dancing with her husband. He can hardly take his eves off her and realises, suddenly, that it is Tatiana, and realises, too, that he loves hher = that he has always loved her. In an ironic twist of fate he now writes her his own {etter pouring out his love for hes. She agrees to meet him, and he begs her to leave her husband to be with him. Tatiana is torn between her feelings for Onegin (who she still loves) and her duty to her husband Prince Gremin (who is kind to her and to whom, after all, she is married). She is angry with Onegin. Why has it taken him so long to realise how he feels about her? Ifonly, ifonly. She tells him he has come too late, that however much she wants to she cannot walk away from her marriage. This time it is Eugene Onegin who leaves the meeting with a broken heart, to walk the streets of St Petersburg in misery.
