A young woman’s infatuation meets
an aristocrat’s insensitivity in the retelling of one of literature’s
most poignant love stories. Set in the opulent Russian Empire, the

Onegin. Onegin lacks empathy and suffers from restlessness, melancholy,
and finally, regret. Tatyana is the young, passionate, and virtuous
girl who falls hopelessly under Onegin’s spell. Onegin’s
rejection of Tatyana sets in motion a series of events that culminates
in remorse, loneliness, and love unfulfilled.
