A sketch by Pushkin of himself and Onegin lounging in St. PetersburgPerhaps the darkest theme – despite the light touch of the narration – is Pushkin's presentation of 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. His inability to relate to the feelings of others and his entire lack of empathy – the cruelty instilled in him by the 'world' – is epitomized in the very first stanza of the first book by his stunningly self-centered thoughts about being with the dying uncle whose estate he is to inherit:'But God how deadly dull to sample sickroom attendance night and day. And sighing ask oneself all through 'When will the devil come for you?' However, the 'devil comes for Onegin' when he both literally and figuratively kills innocence and sincerity in shooting Lensky in the duel and rejecting Tatyana. Tatyana learns her lesson: armored against feelings and steeped in convention, she crushes his later sincerity and remorse.
(This epic reversal of roles, and the work's broad social perspectives, provide ample justification for its subtitle 'a novel in verse'.)Tatyana's nightmare illustrates the concealed aggression of the 'world'. In the dream, she is chased over a frozen winter landscape by a terrifying bear (representing the ferocity of Onegin's inhuman persona) and confronted by demons and goblins in a hut she hopes will provide shelter. This nightmare is contrasted to the open vitality of the 'real' people at the country ball, giving dramatic emphasis to the war of warm human feelings against the chilling artificiality of society.Thus, Onegin has lost his love, killed his only friend, and found no satisfaction in his life. He is a victim of his own pride and selfishness. He is doomed to loneliness, and this is his tragedy.The conflict between art and life was no mere fiction in Russia, but is in fact illustrated by Pushkin's own fate: he too was killed in a duel, falling victim to the social conventions of Russian high society.Composition and publication.
Main article:choreographed a three-act ballet using music in an arrangement. However, Stolze did not use any music from Tchaikovsky's. Instead, he orchestrated some little-known piano works by Tchaikovsky such as, along with themes from the opera and the latter part of the symphonic fantasia.Choreographer staged a modern rendition of Eugene Onegin as a ballet taking place in modern Moscow. The ballet was performed by Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, with music by Alexander Sitkovetsky and with excerpts from Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin.Most recently created a ballet score titled Tatiana, with a libretto written by for his choreographic interpretation and staging of 's Eugene Onegin, for a co-production by the Hamburg State Opera and the Stanislavski and Nemirovich-Danchenko Moscow Academic Music Theatre in Moscow.
Incidental music A staged version was adapted by and slated for production in the in 1936, directed by and with by, as part of the centennial celebration of Pushkin's death. However, due to threats of Stalinist repercussions for artistic liberties taken during the production and artistic differences between Tairov and Krzhizhanovsky, rehearsals were abandoned and the production was never put on.
Play 's play Tatyana was written for in 1989. It successfully combines spoken dialogue and narration from the novel, with music arranged from 's operatic score, and incorporates some striking theatrical sequences inspired by Tatyana's dreams in the original. The title role was played by, and the director was.In 2016, the legendary Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia put on a production of Onegin starring, described as 'exuberant, indelible, and arrestingly beautiful' by the New York Times.Musical Opening in 2016 for its world premiere, the in Vancouver, Canada, staged a musical version called Onegin by Amiel Gladstone. Rather than being based solely on Pushkin's verse narrative, the musical takes equal inspiration from Tchaikovsky's opera, subtly incorporating musical motifs from the opera and even using its structure as a template.
:) Ya ne bedni' i vsem nravlus'. Oh well, yeah, I am a selfcentered bastard who thinks that he is a king of the world. On another hand, you. Well.:) This is a different topic of conversation. Realy, I just think this is a good topic, I saw a lot of this happening and want to see what people think about it. Nothing related to my relationship.
Trust me, if I had a problem, I would not discuss it here simply because I think that all things related to my personal relationships are not realy open for discussion and private. Interesting topic.will reply after work.The only thing that will take couple of sentences that I thought I would mention is that often times 'tables turn' or 'the table turns' I really don't know which one is correct.you got the point.a lot of times we like somebody and they don't give a damn about us.the moment we leave them (or vice versa) they discover a whole treasure of hidden feelings and emotions at the 'depth of their soul'.oh, fuck it, this is life.99% it is about drama, not feelings.or feelings that we think are feelings but nevertheless are drama.Unless of course.to be cont. Chem bolshe devushku mi lyubim, tem men`she nravimsya mi ey.NE PRA-A-AVDA!!!!!!!!!Rebyata, parni, muzhchini.Chem sil`nee vi lyubite devushku, tem sil`nee ona budet lyubit` vas(konechno esli vi ey tozhe nravites`).

Tak chto (na moy vzglyad) Pushkin neprav v svoem viskazivanii.

I find all this love stuff nonesense:)I find dating incredibly boring because men mostly show off on the first date, can't shut-up about their car or the way his computer works, when they ask me questions, never give me the chance to answer.etc.I took one guy fishing, he whined and complained about the 'cold' (it was +20C outside, perfect weather), was afraid to touch the worm in order to put it on the hook (I had to do it for him), was terrified of the fish that I caught, he almost overturned the boat when the fish was jumping up and down! I find that in my experience, men are becoming more and more effeminite, vain, some actually pluck their eye-brows!
BrrrrrrrI find that I'm more and more picky about men, I mean if he doesn't like hockey, fishing, and watching 'The Ultimate Fighting Championships', he's a no go:-)But the romantic aspect of relationships is difficult to define and really discuss, since absolutely every relationship and situation is different. 'Nu pomoemu esli devushka uvidit chto paren' ot neio uskol'zaet po kakoi to prichine, to v 5% sluchaev ona obidetsia, a v 95% obratit vsiu svoiu lubov' i energiu chtobi ego vernut' ego.'
Dimaalive, ti konechno prav naschet etogo, no vsyu svoyu energiyu i lyubov` devushka ne mozhet i ne budet otdavat` tomu, kto to i delo norovit (kak ti govorish) uskol`znut` ili poigrat` ee chuvstvami. Tak chto devushka konechno popitaetsya bit` eshe bolee vnimatel`ney k parnyu, no cherez nekotoroe vremya prosto ostavit ego vpokoe i vryadli vernetsya snovo.TO Irinka:Ya s toboy ne soglasna.

V kakoi to moment on uhodit v sebia, kak eto delaut vse mujchini. Tebia eto besit.
A on escho bol'she uhodit. Togda v kakoito moment ti ponimaesh chto ego 'teriaesh' i tut proishodit obratnoe. To ochiom zdes' sobsvenno i idiot rech'.
I guess.there is no way in hell would I ever marry anyone unless we live together for 2 years! Two people have to get used to each-other, learn how to share finances, figure-out every-day patterns, see if you're still sexually attracted enough to each-other and love each-other enough after 2 years to marry them. To me, marriage is for life, there is no way would I ever want to divorce, that's why I'm still incredibly careful. Some people may say that they know after 6 months whether they want to marry that person or not, but marriage is a serious thing, never to be rushed. Pishu na Englishe (kak obichno)There is a saying, if you love somebody set them free, there is even a tale about a bird in the cage and the king, remember?True love does not tolerate restrictions, limits. If love is driven by amount of attention that is given, then it is not pure love.
Pure love is when you love somebody, period. Chasing and flirting are all wonderful and are part of the story, but I think love that is based on the other person not wanting you enough and not giving you enough attention, is not love, those are other driving feelings, like the feeling of being wanted, or feelings of a warrior (succeeding), or it may even be a fantasy (chasing not a real person, but a fantasy). There is nothing wrong in either of those feelings, what is important is to know what are the drivers.
We all experience ourselves in different roles all the time; eventually we get tired, or realize what is it we look for.The whole notion of somebody “liking” you is really food for the ego: for how long will he chase me, he likes my mystery (and he does, because real feelings are not revealed as of yet), he wants certain traits of mine. Real love is about acceptance of everything about the person, accepting the person as he/she is.Also love is not something that has to die when the relationship ends or has to be eternal for one person. There is a notion of feelings of love that can be felt in general. You know, you wake up one sunny morning and you feel love, for everything, the world in general. It is a feeling that you accept the world as it is and it makes you happy. This should be the same with people, you just love them, not for who they are or what they do, but just love them.
Of course there are relationships, and we do things for each other and we help each other and we entertain each other and we guide each other, but this is part of life and a crucial part of healthy relationships, but love is different, it should not be confused with attachment or favors or protection.The topic of the thread denoted a “romantic type of attraction”, when there is a knight trying to win the heart of the princess behind brick walls of a castle. The princess feels honored that HE fights for her, the knight feels honored that he can win.
What does love has to do with it?In my eyes, pure love, by the way, does not have to be between “equal” individuals. Ok, here comes my peace on this:)I am sure that men can be also discussed but this is not about them. It is about our better half:) (some shmoozing happening to keep Rusa from killing me on the spot and happy):) Inspite of wonderfull post from our lovely Malishki ((I loved it) which was realy interesting view on this topic, I have my own view on this.Problem with romance, attention and love is that they are always dynamic. Always changing from better to worse and other way. People fall in love and people fall out of love. People are always in search of exitement.
Look in your life and tell me honestly that you never felt that your relationship's fire is going out because you know every single detail about person and things are not getting any more exiting. Exploration and surprize normaly keep the fire hot. Yes, I agree about loving person as a whole and most of the time we can not even tell why we do. Yes I agree what you get exactly what you are aiming for (prize, attention, vanity. It is not all though.
Some times, simple kiss can change relationship between people from friendship to love. Did that happen instantly?
Did this just happen to be something that both were looking for? I do not think so. It is part of it.
Things we want can change as well. At the begining it can be a fame and prize. At the end it can be boundless love.
Unfortunately, it can go from last to the first as well. As relationship progresses, it can grow dull and borring, it hits the point when all what can be said already was and you know person so intimately that there is no more secrets hiding. In true love, this should not be a problem but unfortinately most of the times it is.
In those times, that verse by A.Pushkin is working almost 100%. It is so true it is scary and sad.Look at the whole 3 day rule. I am sure everybody probably heard about it at least once. After you go out with someone, you do not call back person for at least 3 days or person will think you are too easily manipulated. Do not think that I am following this, but it does have its logic.
I do not like playing those games, but I know people around me who do and most of them are not single. 3 days creates suspense and anticipation, it makes person wonder and gives person that feeling of exitement when people meet next time. If person gets into this position, she/he looses the game and control of relationship.I hate to make post too long, but I think it is already.
I hate the whole situation myself and completely disagree with it being correct way of dealing with relationships. Unfortunately, I have seen more and more of this happening in society. It becomes more and more like a game people play to get what they want.PS. Redwings, topic did not realy went off, if you find it boring, you do not have to read it:) I find it quite interesting. Even part about living together for 2 years:)Edited by - Mad0ne on 9/26/2001 8:03:29 PM.
Mad0ne, you don't have to do some shmoozing as I have plenty of it at work. One is entitled to his/her personal opinion.I personally do not believe in LOVE. I don't think it exists.
I do, however, believe in commitment, attachment, faith, both mental and sexual interests, you name it. I heard this philosophy about stages in people's relationships -people get married 3 times in their lives:first time to have sexsecond time to have childrenthird time for companionshipdelaite vivodi sami.A naschet chem bol'she, tem men'she ili naooborot - at the end of the day pretty much all relationships fade away.If you are wondering what stage I am in at the present, I am still at number 1).There are no rules to relationships to as how long people should live together before getting married. However, gentlemen, remember this moral: every woman, even the most independent and successful wants to legalize her relation with a man she is seriously involved.As far as the size is concerned, I keep hearing this question quite frequently. The best one I've ever been asked was by a married man: 'what is afterall, the size of the dick or the tounge?'
Svoya Igra
I laughed my head off and I added: to each her own. people get married 3 times in their lives:first time to have sexDo not agree with this one completely. I would never marry anyone for sex. Having a girlfriend or some other way maybe, not marriage.second time to have childrenIt is 21 century. Don't tell me you have not heard stories of people who have children without marrying.third time for companionshipDoes companionship requires to have a person living next to you? What about friendship?
The key here is to have friends who can be compared to family and although they do come around very rare, they are out there.You are very pragmatic person (even more so then I am, and I am pragmatic). I believe that love exists.
I also have nothing against relationships that exists to satisfy one of the needs you listed. I just do not think that marriage can be looked at this way. I know I will not marry girl just because I want to have steady sex. Relationship maybe, not marriage though.Of cause it is just my opinion. Oh, and I was jocking about shmoozing.
I was sarcastic:) Next time I will try to be less ambiguous:). To Malish: 'You know, you wake up one sunny morning and you feel love, for everything, the world in general. It is a feeling that you accept the world as it is and it makes you happy.
This should be the same with people, you just love them, not for who they are or what they do, but just love them.' Mne vot eto ochen` ponravilos. I utro obichno i bivaet solnechnim.I vstaesh s neponyatno ochemu ochen horoshim nastroeniem. Hochetsya tancevat`, pet`, obnyat` vseh, kazhdomu skasat` chto nibud` priyatnoe.
