Onegin Book 1

After reading the first 'book' of Onegin, I am instantly intrigued. Pushkin has a way of writing that just draws you into the story. From what I can gather from the first book, Onegin is from a well-to-do family but he is not the most sociable guy.  He feels nervous about the outside world and shuts himself of because of it.  He gives off a strong air but I think that there really are uncertainties under the facade.  Pushkin hits home with a lot of people on that note.  This realistic element is very common in our everyday lives. Everyday you see someone who has some kind of worries or doubts that they are hiding from the outside world.  In some cases it may be for the best but I think that for Onegin to live happily he needs to take a chance with others.
