Question

Почему от Онегина отвернулись все помещики?

Answer 1

Сначала все к нему езжали;
Но так как с заднего крыльца
Обыкновенно подавали
Ему донского жеребца,
Лишь только вдоль большой дороги
Заслышат их домашни дроги, —
Поступком оскорбясь таким,
Все дружбу прекратили с ним.
«Сосед наш неуч; сумасбродит;
Он фармазон; он пьет одно
Стаканом красное вино;
Он дамам к ручке не подходит;
Все да да нет; не скажет да-с
Иль нет-с». Таков был общий глас.

Answer 2

Why did all the landowners turn away from Onegin?

There were several key reasons why the local landowners turned away from Yevgeny Onegin after he killed Lensky in a duel:

Killing another nobleman was seen as a serious transgression of social norms. Duelling was common among the Russian nobility, but usually resulted in non-lethal injuries rather than death. Onegin crossed an unspoken line by fatally wounding Lensky

Onegin had a reputation as an aloof outsider who did not participate in social events. As a wealthy nobleman without a title or estate of his own, Onegin moved in aristocratic circles but kept to himself. This made him something of a social pariah and outsider Killing another nobleman only reinforced this perception of him as an outsider who did not follow the usual codes of conduct.

Lensky was well-liked among the local gentry for his poetry and charm. In contrast, Onegin was seen as bored and cynical. Lensky's death generated sympathy for him and animosity towards Onegin The other landowners felt Onegin had unjustly taken away someone they cared about.

It was seen as a breach of hospitality. The duel took place on the estate of a mutual acquaintance who had invited Onegin and Lensky. Killing a guest on one's property was a serious violation of hospitality norms
