A review by lucazani11
Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin

3.0

the original superfluous man - the relationship between fiction and real life.

a disillusioned aristocrat who is drawn into tragic situations through his inability or unwillingness to take positive action to prevent them.

the deadly inhumanity of social convention. Onegin is its bearer in this work. His induction into selfishness, vanity, and indifference occupies the introduction, and he is unable to escape it when he moves to the country.
