His wife cheated on him, Pushkin dueled with his rival, and he himself fell

On February 8, 1837, Pushkin was beaten to death in the snow by his wife's lover in a duel in anger over her cheating on him.

After a few years, his wife becomes another man's wife and his children become another man's children-such is the price of impulse!

Pushkin was born in 1799, which is the year when Emperor Qianlong died in the Qing Dynasty. His previous generations were aristocratic landlords in Moscow, so he received a good education from a young age. He was admitted to the Imperial Village school when he was 12 years old, and he belongs to the type of child prodigy.

Known as Russia's greatest poet, Pushkin wrote a series of poems aimed at urging Russia and its people to pursue the highest spiritual level of humanity.

His short poem, "If Life Deceives You," was a household name in the last century and could be heard by many people.

Why, then, did such a great poet, so wise, risk his own life so impulsively?

One, a talented man deserves a beautiful woman

Pushkin was born an aristocrat. He pursued sensual and physical pleasures while persisting in spiritual pursuits, with the carefree and indulgent nature of Russian aristocrats.

It can be said that his character and origin doomed his life to be a tragedy!

Dashing and talented, Pushkin was 29 when he met Natalya Nikolaevna Goncharova and instantly fell in love.

Natalia was born in 1812, 13 years Pushkin's junior. She was the daughter of the Moscow aristocrat Goncharov, and her mother was a famous beauty far and near.

As a child, Natalia was well educated and possessed the knowledge, eloquence, manners and temperament necessary for social circles. What's more, she has stunning beauty, which is why Pushkin fell in love with her at first sight.

In 1828, Natalia met the poet Pushkin at a ball. She was 16 and Pushkin was middle-aged.

On that day, she wore a rich dress as soft as a mist, with gold rings in her hair. She had a beautiful face, bright teeth and eyebrows, and a delicate, shiny skin that was particularly attractive.

When she appeared at the banquet with graceful body and light walk, all the male guests present were attracted by her transcendent beauty and elegance -- including Pushkin who was already famous in the world at that time!

Pushkin showed this in his letter to her: "Your beauty is unparalleled in all the world.

In April 1829, Pushkin solemnly asked a friend to act as a matchmaker and proposed to this beautiful woman whom she admired. However, her parents put her off saying that her daughter was still young and needed to wait.

On April 6, 1830, Pushkin proposed to the goddess again, and this time he finally got his wish, with permission from her parents.

Two, the bad omen at the wedding

Their wedding took place on February 18, 1831, in the church of Nikitskimen.

No one could have guessed that when the wedding was in the middle of exchanging rings, something unexpected happened!

As Pushkin was about to place the ring on his new wife's finger, it slipped to the floor. Pushkin's face changed abruptly, and as he stooped to pick it up, the candle burning in his hand suddenly went out.

Everyone at the wedding, including the priest, thought it strange and ominous!

"The writing is on the wall," Pushkin said worriedly as he emerged from the church, his forehead dripping with beads of sweat.

Perhaps from this moment on it was destined to be a wedding that should not have been held, but they did not get the warning from the various omens, in time to extricate themselves from the doomed tragedy of the marriage.

Sure enough, soon after Pushkin's marriage, his family life began to crack with his wife.

Three, the same bed

The honeymoon was romantic and happy for a short time, but after the honeymoon was over, problems were revealed in all aspects of their lives.

First, they had no common interests, Natalia (now Pushkina) had no interest in literature or poetry, and thus could not share any of her husband's pleasures.

However, for her husband, she often ran back and forth busy, sometimes for her husband to copy poetry.

Secondly, Pushkin, as a poet, often lives in his own sensibility and has many feelings. He can fall in love with several women at the same time, even after marriage, he can love his wife deeply, but also infatuated with other women.

Natalia senses this, and she is jealous and helpless. What was especially intolerable to her was that some vulgar women seduced her husband in front of her.

How painful it must have been to hear her husband call out another woman's name in his sleep while he gave birth to one child after another and shared the bed with him!

For a long time, the original fragile emotional ties between husband and wife, can not withstand the romantic era of strong impact on husband and wife feelings, two people gradually drift apart, appearance.

For those of you who don't know, Pushkina is 1.73 meters tall, which is the standard figure of a devil and a model. Pushkin, on the other hand, is 5 '6 "and slightly overweight, showing signs of breaking out in his thirties and failing in every way.

Her husband's empathy, boring family life, the triviality of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home... It was a form of torture for her.

So she began to seek a life of her own, uneasily at home to care for her husband and children.

As a transcendent beauty, Russia's glitzy upper class opened doors for her. Her beautiful skin, sparkling eyes, and charming waists will charm all who meet her for the first time.

Pushkina soon adapted to the life, always surrounded by a large group of followers.

Four, tragedy occurs

In 1834 a new suitor appeared for Pushkina. His name was Danster, a handsome young French nobleman who had fled to Russia because the Bourbon dynasty had been overthrown.

He was handsome, handsome and pretentious, his wit and his eloquence often made him witty, and Natalia was soon fascinated by Dante's grace.

Frequent interactions led to secret trysts between the two men, who both had families of their own. Later, Pushkina refused to allow her husband to enter her room or even touch her body.

Pushkin could not bear it anymore and decided to fight with Danster.

When she heard that her husband was going to fight, the wife was frightened. She knelt before Pushkin and cried out in tears:

"Dear Alexander, for God's sake, don't fight. Please, I love you forever, ever, ever."

Pushkin looked at his wife and bit his lip painfully. He lifted Natalia up and said softly:

"I didn't fight for you!"

In fact, Pushkin was not a good shot, and he knew that if he went this time, he might never come back.

But he regards reputation as life, never willing to live in a world without dignity, resolutely picked up a pistol out of the house.

On February 8, 1837, Pushkin began his duel with Danster in front of a large crowd.

Unfortunately, he was shot prematurely by Danster, but did not die immediately. He struggled to fire at Danster, who fell to the ground.

Pushkin thought he had killed Danst and gave up a second shot, but it only hit a metal button on his uniform, and Danst survived by playing dead.

When the Dutchman, the notary, announced that the duel was over, Danst rose from the ground. Pushkin was taken aback and asked for a second shot.

However, his request was rejected by the minister (some later said it was a political plot and that the men had deliberately killed Pushkin).

Pushkin was then sent home, where he lay in bed for two days and nights in agony. Many Russians stood outside his door with candlelight in their hands and prayed for him day and night. His wife Pushkina is not around, all day with tears.

Seeing his wife so sad, Pushkin said to his wife in a groan: "You, nothing wrong."

On February 10, 1837, Pushkin died at the age of 38. Danst was demoted to the rank of private, deported, and returned to France for the rest of his life.

Later some people said: this tragedy, perhaps in their wedding already buried the foreshadowing!

Five, Pushkina, a truly tragic figure

Pushkin, for all his talent, was feisty, and dueling was something he always enjoyed. From his youth, Pushkin always wanted to settle disputes with the sword, and most of these duels were over trivial matters.

Pushkin fought duels more than 20 times in his short life, so it is not surprising that he died because of the duel, which is the inevitable of his life.

After Pushkin's death, his wife was in a terrible situation. She was 24 years old with four young children to support. When her husband died, she left no legacy (half a year before the poet's death, Natalia had secretly asked her brother to help her husband again, to ease his burden), but left a gut-wrenching grief.

With a poor economy and children to feed, she still had to bear the blame from all sides, which made her miserable, and once had the idea of suicide. But she looked out at her four young children and managed to survive.

From then on, Pushkina's backbone was pointed at everywhere she went, and she became known around the world as a bad teacher who was blamed for her death.

Seven years later, she took her children and married a righteous soldier. But she was unhappy all her life, subject to speculation and criticism, until she died of depression at 51.

Before she died, her only consolation was that all four of her children with Pushkin had grown up.

postscript

It is said that Dantes had killed several Russian nobles before his duel with Pushkin. He killed Pushkin not because he was jealous, but because he was behind it.

As far as Pushkin was concerned, to fight an officer with a gun without quick, precise and ruthless means was to die!

Personally, do you respect your wife or do you despise her? If you respect her, you should let her choose to stay or go. If you despise her, you think she belongs to you, so you go and fight robbers.

Therefore, Pushkin did not treat his wife as an equal. To fight a French officer would be unfair to himself and disrespectful to his wife.

The Russians may always have only two choices: to be Pushkin, who is late to the game, or to be pJ, who is pre-emptive. If a fight is inevitable, you have to be the one to strike first.

Either become the strong, or become the victim of the strong!
