Tatiana Larina

An inner request for love. At the time of Onegin's appearance, Tatiana reached the age when "the time has come, she fell in love" [chapter III, stanza VII]. Her soul had been "waiting... for someone" for a long time ‑ the feeling had matured and was looking for a way out. The influence of sentimental novels. Tatiana has read a lot of French romance novels (about characters like Werther, Grandison, Malek‑Adela et al.). Under their influence, she developed an idealized image of a romantic hero. She saw Onegin as the embodiment of this book ideal.: "Everything for a gentle dreamer / They clothed themselves in a single image, / They merged in one Onegin" [chapter III, stanza IX]. Onegin's exoticism for a rural environment. Onegin stood out sharply from the neighbors and Tatiana's usual social circle — he was a metropolitan dandy, mysterious and unusual. This increased her interest: his appearance "at the Larins produced / Everyone is very impressed" [chapter III, stanza VI]. The need for a deep emotional connection. Tatiana is a dreamy and lonely person ("wild, sad, silent"). She was subconsciously looking for someone who could understand her inner world. Onegin, with his intelligence and coldness, seemed to her an unusual, "mysterious" personality worthy of idealization. The "first impression" effect. Tatiana fell in love almost instantly — as soon as Onegin appeared in the Larins' house. Her imagination quickly completed the missing features, turning a real person into the hero of her romantic dreams. Contrast with the surroundings. There were no other bright candidates for the role of a lover nearby. Lensky was infatuated with Olga, and the local landowners could not compete with Onegin's "metropolitan" charm.

Full name — Tatiana Dmitrievna Larina. The age at the beginning of the novel is 17 years old. The sister is Olga Larina. Father — Dmitry Larin (deceased, foreman). Mother is Praskovya Larina. She did not possess traditional beauty: "she attracted neither beauty nor ruddy freshness," had a "pale color and a dull appearance." "Wild, sad, silent, like a doe, timid." Often, "I sat alone by the window all day in silence." She was not fond of embroidery, dolls and outdoor games. She loved listening to Nanny Filipyevna's scary stories. She believed in folk omens, fortune-telling, and dreams: "Tatiana believed the legends of the old folk, dreams, card fortune-telling, and predictions of the moon." Russian Russian winter was her favorite ("Russian soul, / Without knowing why"). She was fond of reading French sentimental novels, which "replaced everything for her." She wrote a letter to Onegin in French: "She didn't know Russian well, / hadn't read our magazines, / And had difficulty expressing herself / In her native language, / So she wrote in French."
