Father and Son
by Turgenev
About This Novel
"Father and Son" describes the theme of conflict between fathers and sons. This conflict took on the color of the times in Turgenev's writings. Bazarov represented the young generation of the 1860s - the radical civilian intellectuals. Pavel and Nicholas represent the older generation of conservative liberal aristocrats. Of course, people in the father's generation have different attitudes towards young people. Nicholas is relatively gentle and hopes to understand his children and keep up with the times, but he is not very successful. Pavel is stubborn, believes in aristocratic liberalism, and is obsessed with the rebellion of young people. The conflict between father and son is manifested in a broad sense as the opposition between Pavel and Bazarov, thus shaping the image of the "new man" of the era in Bazarov.

Although Turgenev's classics feel bland, you should read some! ! !
What if Bazarov doesn't die? The author vividly portrayed the unforgettable love of his parents for their son, which left a deep impression on me. The poor old man suffered the pain of losing his son, and the white-haired man gave away the black-haired man.
I seem to understand but I still think Bazarov is too extreme. His character cannot reconcile himself with the world. Even if he does not die, he will not live happily. He will always be doubtful, ridiculed, and angry.
A good book
