Character History
No wonder Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, who laid the foundation for the realistic direction of Russian literature, consider the greatest poet, whose identity is still being discussed in research and university circles. Pushkin not only composed a number of fairy tales with a philosophical meaning, but also suggested by Nicholas Gogolnoy the idea of creating the "dead souls". The same author came up with a novel in verses "Eugene Onegin", who went on quotes. Genius of literature managed to create an intriguing storyline, as well as to withdraw the colorful characters, among whom Olga Larina.History of creation
Some writers have a fundamental work that they worked for many years. So, the German poet of Goethe throughout his life created the Faust tragedy. Mikhail Bulgakov, for twelve years, wrote a novel about the master and Margarita, and Lion Tolstoy for six years worked on the epic "War and Peace", which describes the vague events of 1812 and the love of Natasha Rostova's love, Pierre, Andrei Bolkonsky and Anatol Kuragin. So Alexander Sergeevich did not exception, because the poet worked on Evgeny Onegin from 1823 to 1831.
According to Pushkin, the novel in verses was the fruit of the "mind of cold observations and the heart of sorrowful notice," and the writer called his brainchild. Alexander Sergeevich began to make the first sketches on the draft paper in the spring of 1823, while in Chisinau reference. It is noteworthy that the writer abandoned the dominant at the time of romanticism and turned to the favorite genre of Fedor Dostoevsky, Ivan Turgenev and Anton Chekhov - realism. Initially, Eugene Onegin consisted of nine chapters, but ultimately the author reduced his novel to eight.
Alexander Sergeevich described the historical events of the beginning of the XIX century, when the Russian army won Napoleon's Bonaparte in Borodino battle, and in society the grains of the Decembrists were laid. The poet spoke about the development of Russian society against the background of the board of Alexander I, placing a love line in the center of the plot and relying on the creation of his colleague on the shop George Bairon, the author of the poem Don Juan.
The work of Alexander Pushkin received a high marks from the literary diaspora. For example, Critic Vissarion Belinsky compared "Onegin" with the encyclopedia of Russian life. Roman, like the show, went out by individual chapters, and the excerpts of the work were printed in magazines and almanacs.
The writer managed to write memorable characters in Onegin. Olga Larina was the personification of a typical heroine of popular novels, which so loved reading in a secular society. Whether this carefree girl had a prototype, it remains only to guess, but it is known that Pushkin created a generalized image of a cheerful and carefree girl, which is beautiful outwardly, but devoid of individual character traits and internal content.
When the novel in verses moved to the screens of cinemas and televisions, the main characters were performed by the famous stars of cinematographic sky. Lina Hidi, Svetlana Nevolaeva, Ekaterina Gubanova, Margarita Mamsirov and other actresses reincarnated in Olga.
Biography
Olga Larina is the secondary heroine "Eugene Onegin", but, nevertheless, plays a fundamental role in the novel. Alexander Sergeevich did not discharge the biography of Olga scrupulously: the life and origin of this ruddy girl are outlined in the novel by fragmentary. Pushkin does not indicate a specific age of Larina. Most likely, a blonde beauty was about sixteen at the time of the duel of Onegin and Vladimir Lensky.
Researcher Yuri Lotman, who dedicated his scientific work to Alexander Sergeevich, assumed that Olga was at least fifteen years. The fact is that she became bride Vladimir Lensky, namely, from this age, the girls received the right to marry. In addition, when her sister Tatyana Larina composed a letter to his beloved, she turned 17, and Olga's novel is younger than his sister.
Olga appears in the work of the provincial young lady, the daughter of the late Brigadier Dmitry Larina. The mother of the sisters at one time was married not by love, but by the calculation: she was taken to the village, where she originally cried, and then she got tortured, mastered the house and began to engage in the economy. The family was honored by antique rites, the post refused meat and dairy products, baked pancakes on the carnival.
Larina lived in the village not far from Moscow, in a huge estate. The house consisted of twenty rooms, and there were land, stables and flower beds around it.
In the neighborhood, Vladimir Lensky lived next door, an eighteen-year-old young man, full of dreams, unlike his friend Eugene Onegin, who was bored with a secular life. This young man is in love with Olga since childhood, that Eugene seems strange, for the younger sister is the complete opposite of intelligent and well-read Tatiana.
Until Yevgeny receives letters from Tatiana, Olga and Lensky spend their time fun and idle, Vladimir decorates the girl's album with drawings and elegions. Soon the young man makes his beloved proposal of his hand and heart, and she meets consent.
In the plot Lensky invited Onegin to the name of Tatiana. The emergence of the main character concerns the culprit of the celebration, and Eugene to pump to Vladimir, begins to kindly and dance with Olga. Ultimately, humiliated and insulted Lensky causes Onegin on a duel.
The next day, Olga fun meets his groom. I would know the girl that her young man would die on the duel! But Olga after the death of Vladimir, for a short time in depressed: the beauty loved the arrival of Ulan and soon, becoming his wife, left with him, which shows her attitude towards love.
Comparative characteristic with sister
Alexander Pushkin revealed two sisters on each other in the novel - Tatiana and Olga. Their character traits are the favorite theme of the researchers who give the ladies comparative characteristics. The heroine grew and brought up in equal terms.
It is noteworthy that, despite all the differences, the sisters of Larina are friendly and miss each other during separation times. Olga Provincial appears in front of readers a pretty girl with blond hair and blue eyes. As Pushkin) would say:
"Innocent charms full ..."She has a nice voice, a cute smile, a round face and narcissistic character. However, Alexander Sergeevich indicates that she is easy for soul. That is, mediocre interests are hidden behind the beautiful shell: the beauty is used to sailing downstream, believe in fate and take the lives of what she is, satisfying this. Romantic meetings, anxiety, experiences and love letters - all this is alien to a playful girl who spends his time having fun and ignorly.
Tatiana's older sister is the complete opposite of Olga, and the author focuses on the inner world, and not on appearance. The main heroine of the novel does not differ at attractiveness, it is a pale and thin girl who does not shine with beauty:
"No one would not be beautifulCall ... "
In addition, Tatiana is timid, fearing and melancholic: instead of secular events, the girl prefers loneliness and reading foreign novels.
Tatiana is a porous and emotional, and its image is shown by Pushkin scrupulously and diverse. The character of the girl is revealed depending on the events. It is not surprising that she attracted the attention of the writers, and with time the image became typical for writers. And the name of Larina, which was previously considered old-fashioned, was extremely popular.
