Eugene Onegin, Part 1, no. 276, Part X summary

Part 1, no. 276, Part X of 368 · 1 min to read the part

In X, Olga departs with the lancer, whose duty requires him to return to his regiment, and the household gathers around their carriage to say goodbye. The departure brings the mother's open grief into contrast with Tattiana's dry eyes and pale face as she gently leads the pair to the carriage.

What happens

  1. The lancer must return to his regiment, and Olga's voice no longer sounds in her former home.
  2. The aged mother weeps and appears overwhelmed as the time for farewell arrives.
  3. Tattiana does not cry, but her face grows pale and distressed.
  4. As everyone crowds around the entrance and carriage, Tattiana gently leads the departing pair there.
