Eugene Onegin

Well... rather uneven. It's an epic poem, which means it can be rather difficult to take in, though I didn't find it difficult. I think the choice made it harder for Alexander to express certain things. He had to stay in verse and rhyme :-D
Also, the... mood, nature, style of the work varied a lot. It is a bit difficult to define, like Romeo and Juliet. It is satirical, and I laughed out loud several times, but in the end it is rather sad. Another unhappy Russian woman.
It is ridiculous when one remembers that Eugene and Tatiana aren't even 25 when the book happens. I think Eugene was 26 at the very end, and when he refused Tatiana he was just a little older than 20 :-D And she was something like 17. Yet so big and strong emotions. She reminds me so much of Natascha. :-D I don't know if I was more or less mature to my age, but at 17, emotions weren't the end of the world and life. Life hadn't even really began yet. Yet, Eugene's life is at end at 26 because Tatiana got married. Come on, she got married to a soldier! He could easily die. Soldiers' widows were plenty in that time. Let's say in 10 years they meet and get married and live happily ever after.
(Also, how quick she got married :-D So ridiculous!)
Nevertheless, Eugene was a twat.
