Eugene Onegin, Part 1, Part XLVII summary
Part 1, Part XLVII of 368 · 1 min to read the part
In XLVII, the narrator contrasts loud tragedy, quiet comedy, and dance, which alone among the sister arts delights young spectators. In this theatrical setting, the heroine attracts neither a jealous woman's inspecting gaze nor the attention of a connoisseur seated among the audience.
