I am having yet another *Onegin* syndrome right now...So, just a thought...
If any of you have ever read those bunch of Russian literature, just please tell me why are those dashing antagonists always so frivolous and superficial?
For those of you want to broaden your literary horizons, check out Anna Karenina, Onegin and compare the psyche of heroines in these two novels, and then compare that analysis with 18-19th century Russian aristocratic social practice about marriage and love.
And just do not ever compare it with 21st century western modern Christian values. You will just lose the whole point.
*laughs
well, that is why I love those novels... but... Just a thought.
