3. After ten empty years, Paul hears of her death and receives his ring back, its sphinx marked with a cross.
4. Paul settles at Nikolai’s estate, adopting English habits and earning respect while remaining socially distant.

O que observar

Bazarov answers Arkady’s appeal to historical circumstances by insisting on individual agency. This sharpens their disagreement over how to judge Paul.
