And there was a great deal of pettiness in Rudin, handsome and stately as he was; he was a gossip, indeed, and he loved to have a hand in everything, arranging and explaining everything. His fussy activity was inexhaustible he was a diplomatist by nature. I speak of him as I knew him then. But unluckily he has not altered. On the other hand, his ideals haven't altered at five-and-thirty!
I will tell of two or three incidents those incidents of my life when it seemed as if success were smiling on me, or rather when I began to hope for success which is not altogether the same thing... Rudin pushed back his grey and already sparse locks with the same gesture which he used once to toss back his thick, dark curls. 'Well, I will tell you, Mihail, he began.
She kept thinking, not of Rudin himself, but of some word he had uttered, and she was wholly buried in her own thought. Sometimes she recollected Volintsev. She knew that he loved her. But her mind did not dwell on him more than an instant.... She felt a strange agitation.
He is a splendid man; he knows how to value you; he has not been crushed by life he is simple and pure-hearted in soul... he will make your happiness. 'Of whom are you speaking, Dmitri Niklaitch? 'Is it possible you don't understand? Of Volintsev, of course. What? isn't it true? Natalya turned a little away from Rudin. She was completely overwhelmed. 'Do you imagine he doesn't love you?
Every scene, almost every line, opens up new deep horizons, throwing upon his people some new unexpected light. The extremely complex and difficult character of the hero of this story, shows at its highest this subtle psychological many-sidedness. Dmitri Rudin is built up of contradictions, yet not for a moment does he cease to be perfectly real, living, and concrete.
Rudin did not cut me out; he did not even try to cut me out; but, all the same, he put an end to my happiness, though, looking at it in cool blood, I am ready to thank him for it now. But I nearly went out of my mind at the time. Rudin did not in the least wish to injure me quite the contrary!
Those who shout, "Make way for honest labour!" are an object of worship to him; those who do not shout it are scoundrels and exploiters. There is no middle. He has stored it all up, and so much so, that when he reads "Rudin" he is sure to be asking himself, "Is Rudin a scoundrel or not?"
Rudin stared at him, and smiled slightly, saying nothing. 'Aha! he has taken to flight! said Darya Mihailovna. 'Never mind, Dmitri...! I beg your pardon, she added with a cordial smile, 'what is your paternal name? 'Nikolaitch. 'Never mind, my dear Dmitri Nikolaitch, he did not deceive any of us. He wants to make a show of not wishing to argue any more.
From Rudin to the young revolutionist in Virgin Soil, who makes such a mess of his propaganda among the peasantry, how many of his characters are as remarkable for their weakness as their unsuccess! Turgenev was probably conscious of this pessimism of imagination in regard to his fellow man at least, his Russian fellow man. Mr.
Before her friendship with Rudin she would never have succeeded in uttering such a long and ardent speech. 'You have heard my views on woman's mission more than once, replied Rudin with a condescending smile. 'You know that I consider that Joan of Arc alone could have saved France.... but that's not the point. I wanted to speak of you.
