In XVII, Tattiana looks tenderly around a room, finding immense value in its furnishings, books, and images while feeling pleasure mixed with sorrow. The scene concentrates on her emotional response to these surroundings rather than on any outward action or decision.
What happens
- Tattiana gazes tenderly at everything around her, and each object seems precious.
- The table, unlit lamp, books, and bed beneath the window draw her attention.
- Moonlight and pale twilight shape the scene around a portrait of Lord Byron and a solemn cast-iron figure.
