Eugene Onegin, Part 1, no. 294, Part XXVIII summary

Part 1, no. 294, Part XXVIII of 368 · 1 min to read the part

In XXVIII, falling snow covers the landscape and glittering frost brings general joy, but Tania feels no welcome for the approaching winter. Her alarm about a winter journey separates her from the delight around her, making the snowy scene a contrast to her troubled heart.

What happens

  1. Snow covers the ground and weighs down the oak branches.
  2. The river channel looks filled with soft down, and frost shines.
  3. General delight in winter contrasts with Tania’s unease.
  4. Tania does not welcome the season or wash herself with its first snow; a winter journey alarms her.
