	GradeSaver: Eugene Onegin Essay: Onegin and Lensky: Do Opposites Really Attract?
		Stanza 45 in chapter 1 describes the hero of the novel, Eugene Onegin, and depicts his disenchantment with life, and with humans in general.
		The first stanza comes towards the end of the first chapter, and at this point the reader has only recently been introduced to Eugene Onegin, to whom this stanza is referring.
		This stanza clearly shows similarities between Onegin and Pushkin, although the author denies throughout the novel that Onegin is a representation of himself.

	Philologica 6 (1999/2000): Tarlinskaja. The Syntax of the Stanza in Eugene Onegin (Summary)
		THE SYNTAX OF THE STANZA IN “EUGENE ONEGIN”
		Strong breaks support the stanzaic composition (4 + 4 + 4 + 2), but the inner structuring of the quatrains is dissimilar: the syntactic formula of the first quatrain is 2 + 2, of the second it is 3 + 1; and the third quatrain is either 3 + 1, or simply 4.
		On the contrary, syntax in Chapter 5 does not support the rhyming scheme of its stanzas: the lines within stanzas are syntactically knit together more strongly than in the rest of the poem, and the proportion of strong breaks after each quatrain is less significant than in the rest of the text.

	DAILY TELEGIRAFFE: Ralph Fiennes--"He's not Onegin."
		In addition to "The End of the Affair," there is "Onegin," which also opens next month, in which he gives a wrenching, Byronic performance as Evgeny Onegin, a jaded bachelor who learns how to love too late; the film is based on the epic 19th-century Russian verse novel by Alexander Pushkin.
		Martha Fiennes, the actor's younger sister, who directed "Onegin," is somewhat amused by the public's fascination (particularly young women) with her brother's penchant for playing tormented types.
		Onegin (Ralph Fiennes) is a bored and dissipated young-man-about-St Petersburg, a dandy and a saloniste, snacking on truffles and Limburg cheese, sighing into his claret.

	Books \| The rake's progress
		There is Onegin's Vronsky-like existence in St Petersburg: how he comes late to the Bolshoi Theatre and treads on the toes of those already seated; how his minimal Latin allows him to add 'vale' to a letter and remember two (precisely two) verses of the Aeneid.
		Pushkin frequently observes that Onegin and Tatiana are his poetic creations; in the first chapter he enters the poem as a character and recalls evenings spent loitering with Onegin by the banks of the Neva.
		Onegin's pride, like Darcy's (and Pride and Prejudice cannot be banished from one's mind as one reads Eugene Onegin, though there is no evidence that Pushkin knew of it) makes him, at least, honest - though Nietzsche's comment that cynicism is the mediocre man's best chance at honesty is perhaps more accurate.

	The Hindu : A novel in verse
		Written in special Onegin stanzas (in four- footed iambics of 14 lines) it is a story with a beginning, a middle and an end.
		As with tragedy, Greek or otherwise, Eugene Onegin is dominated by the stern moral law of Fates.
		Onegin's irresponsible self- indulgence and selfishness inevitably leads to his undoing while the calm restraint and resignation of Tatyana gives her the halo of moral greatness which is forever associated with her name.

		Eugene Onegin of Alexander Pushkin, 19th century Russian author who often has been considered his country's greatest poet and the founder of modern Russian literature, presents different kinds of characters whose personal traits have a great relation with the period's social structure.
		Even in his descriptions of Onegin's childhood, Pushkin tries to express how extraordinary and different Eugene is although he seems as if he is an ideal figure of 19th century Russian society even from the very beginning of his life.
		The thing Onegin does is just to be one of the successful player of that game by knowing about every theme and learning affectation and to hide his feelings.

		Eugene Onegin is the master work of the poet whom Russians regard as the fountainhead of their literature.
		Set in 1820s imperial Russia, Pushkin's novel in verse follows the emotions and destiny of three men - Onegin the bored fop, Lensky the minor elegiast, and a stylized Pushkin himself - and the fates and affections of three women - Tatyana the provincial beauty, her sister Olga, and Pushkin's mercurial Muse.
		The love between Onegin and TaTyana is neither the cheap kind of love that often appears in any books nor the tragic one that is intended to squeze your tears.

		Onegin was, as thought the crowd - The judge, decisive one and loud - A well-learned fellow, but a prude: He has a talent very good, In every talk, without tension, To touch all easily, with a grace, With air of a learned man and ace, Stay silent through the dispute's session.
		XI But having got the Tanya’s message: Onegin heartily was touched: The charm of maiden fancies’ language Called for strong musing of his mind; And he remembered Tanya blessed — Her colour pale and view depressed; And sinless, full of sweetness dream Embraced his soul with soft gleam.
		Onegin then, in his first action, Turned to the man of operations, And said, with shortness of his prime, That he is ready any time.

		Onegin stanza (sometimes "Pushkin sonnet"[1]) refers to the verse form invented by Alexander Pushkin for his interpersonal epic Eugene Onegin.
		The work is (almost wholly) written in verses of iambic tetrameter with the unusual rhyme scheme "aBaBccDDeFFeGG", where the lowercase letters represent feminine rhyme (i.e., stressed on the penultimate syllable) and the uppercase representing masculine rhyme (on the final syllable).
		Jon Stallworthy's 1987 "The Nutcracker" used this stanza form, and Vikram Seth's 1986 novel The Golden Gate is written wholly in Onegin stanzas.

	Ralph Fiennes Corner: Onegin
		Onegin pointedly rejects Tatyana, however, and soon afterward his rustic idyll comes to an end when he arouses his best friend's anger by dancing continually with Olga at Tatyana's nameday celebration.
		Reading "Eugene Onegin" for the first time, I was struck by the complementary arcs of its hero and its heroine, and I found myself imagining it as a play or a film.
		In the final section of the poem, after years of self-imposed exile, Onegin meets Tatyana again at a ball in St. Petersburg; she is now a sophisticated woman, and Onegin falls obsessively in love with her.

		The form of Evgeny Onegin, not a novel, but a novel in verse signifies a duality that conditions Pushkin's general outlook whether it be completeness vs. deficiency, nature vs. culture, or sound vs. silence.
		Pushkin's memory poems are similar in their pattern of poetic experience, specifically the way in which self-knowledge reached by poetic symbolization is aided by memory, which forms a triad with sight and sound and as such, functions like a sense for the poet.
		A comparison of the memory poems to certain stanzas of Evgeny Onegin reveals a common paradigm of poetic experience which facilitates our understanding of the novel's characters as their present and future lives are played out against their relationships to the past.

		my good friend Onegin was born on the banks of the Neva, where, perhaps, you too were born, or at sometime shined, dear reader.
		We know from other places in the text that Onegin was born in 1795 and grew up at the start of the 19th century.
		You should summarize in your own words in Russian what Onegin is like, what we know about his parents, where he was born and grew up, what he was taught and by whom, what talents he has, etc.

		In Russian society of that time, homosexuality was condemned by the Church but tolerated if discreetly practiced; it was not uncommon for homosexual men to marry for the sake of appearances, with full understanding on the part of the wife and with no change in the husband's lifestyle.
		He has Onegin sing to a flesh-and-blood, physically present Tatyana, the lines that in the novel he only writes to her, and writes to her fruitlessly.
		In Eugene Onegin, the arias -- Lensky's, Tatyana's, Onegin's, Gremin's -- are rather straightforward; the ensembles, however, are haunting and disorienting.

	Pushkin
		Their reality is the aggregate of Pushkin's wonderful observations and true, lively details - Onegin's blunt billiard cue, or the fact that Tatiana's father died 'just before dinner', or that Lensky, playing chess with Olga, is so distracted by his love that he moves Olga's pawn and takes his own rook.
		And in Eugene Onegin, Pushkin's characters think like this too: Onegin is at first ironic and cynical about love, only to become, in Moscow, tearful about his former cynicism.
		The verse-novel Eugene Onegin possesses the sparkle of Byron's "Don Juan" (its partial model, along with "Childe Harold"), coupled with Tristram Shandy-like digressions on life and literature, as well as a melancholy love story just as sad as Fitzgerald's in Tender Is the Night.

	Amazon.com: Eugene Onegin: A Novel in Verse (Oxford World's Classics): Books: Alexander Pushkin,James E. Falen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Eugene Onegin was Pushkin's favorite among all his works, and although it seems to take a back seat to some of the great late-19th century Russian novels among western readers, Russians themselves tend to prize it above all other works of their country's literature.
		Some others seem to agree with me: in the preface to his own recent (1999) translation of Onegin, Douglas Hofstadter praises Falen's translation so highly that he has to spend a section explaining why he bothered with a translation when Falen had already done it so perfectly.
		While most bilingual readers would probably state that to call Falen's (or anybody else's) translation "perfect" would be a stretch, it is still a delightful work, and hopefully other English-speaking readers will acquire, as I have, a better appreciation of the beauty of Pushkin's greatest work as a result of it.

	HOW RUSSIAN IS IT: LYN HEJINIAN'S OXOTA
		Each fourteen-line stanza seems to promise disclosure of these and other "realities" but the disclosure never quite comes, even though we notice a gradual transformation in phenomenology: something, we know, is changing, being digested, increasingly understood; some of the initial strangeness of the Russian world is gradually diminishing even if it never quite disappears.
		And now the stanza ends on a turn of phrase that is brilliantly deployed throughout Oxota, especially in the early chapters, where the poet records how it feels to be a linguistic alien in a country one wants so badly understand.
		In chapter 58, for example, the poet has evidently been taken ill and is being nursed by Zina and her son Ostap, while Arkadii attends a poetry meeting in a neighboring town.

		Alexandr Sergeevich Pushkin is widely regarded as one of the brightest stars in Russian literature of the 19th century, and this book is a good justification to that title.
		The rhyming in each stanza is a strict ababccddeffegg, all through the poem.

		Even the eponymous protagonist Onegin clearly is intended as an object of satire at the beginning of the work, but soon is revealed to have a deeper, nobler side that we cannot not comfortably ridicule.
		In the next stanza even proceeds to directly apostrophize the reader in the next stanza by writing “you too, indulgent reader.” He also reminds us of the outside world when he references real-life personages, such as his contemporary and friend, Vyazemsky, in Stanza 49.
		To be precise, he is not actually omitting the stanzas themselves, but actually setting aside space for them and omitting their actual words, instead placing a series of dots and dashes in their place, reminding us that this is a text and not a piece of the real world.

	The New York Review of Books: The Strange Case of Pushkin and Nabokov
		The truth is that in the Onegin his brightest moments occur when, as in the passage just quoted, the author of Conclusive Evidence slips into a shimmering sentence or performs a sly feat of prestidigitation.
		This note is sharply struck in the opening stanza, when Onegin complains about the slowness in dying of the uncle from whom he is to inherit.
		And though Nabokov finds the rhyme pattern of the stanza of Onegin occasionally embedded in La Fontaine's Contes, it would hardly have been possible for Pushkin to have arrived at this stanza—though it is, of course, not identical with Byron's—if he had not had some firsthand acquaintance with Don Juan.

		Although presented in stanzas corresponding to those in the (third) Russian edition, although those stanzas are broken into the requisite number of lines, the lines themselves don't rhyme.
		Nabokov discusses the "Eugene Onegin stanza", its structure (118 syllables in 14 lines of four iambs each, rhymed ababeecciddiff), history, possible origins, and relation to, amongst other forms, the Shakespearean sonnet, in one of the several introductory essays provided with the translation.
		And then he declares that is is a "mathematical impossibility" to translate any rhymed poem (and by translate he means "rendering [...] the exact contextual meaning of the original") and preserve the rhymes.

		For nearly every class, the students are expected to translate a 14-line, iambic tetrameter stanza from the English of Nabokov into versions of their own.
		In this way, they will complete 22 stanzas, or about one-third of the book's first chapter, by semester's end--a significant accomplishment in light of the fact that some of them will spend up to three hours on each stanza.
		There is a synergy that develops, Shrayer says, when the students read their stanzas aloud and take others' reactions into account; as they rework their stanzas, the students often incorporate one another's words, phrasing, or rhymes.
