Both are described as exquisite, beautiful, graceful and enchanting yet that is where their descriptions stop. Most importantly, both believe that they have experienced true love and ironically, the objects of their affection are strikingly similar.īoth Zinaida and Olga have a strong resemblance to each other, and are in fact almost identical in many ways. Both are dreamers and are hopeless romantics whose books are filled with poetry and hearts are filled with passion. Both have led a sheltered life and have had the freedom to let their ideals run wild and coalesce into the idyllic, illusory picture of humanity and of the world that they inhabit. Both are naïve, young boys who are very idealistic and full of romantic ideology. Young Vladimirs character is comparable to that of Lenskys in Pushkins Eugene Onegin. This exaggeration of Vladimirs emotions as well as the transparency of his characters blatantly states Turgenevs disregard for first love. It is incredible that Vladimir has such passionate feelings for a woman that he barely knows. Even more so than Vladimir, Zinaida is a transparent character with only one aspect that is mentioned at all in depth: her looks. In portraying such a flighty and coquette heroine, Turgenev is also suggesting the falseness of this love affair. Turgenevs hero Vladimir is so young and idealistic and naïve that from the beginning the reader is able to see through him and in the same way see through his love. Presented only with the evidence from this book, it may be correct to say that Turgenev believes that first love is not only paltry but that it is not true love. He treats the subject of love with somewhat of a condescending manner.
