| 1 | !!The Novel: |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: The circumstances of [[spoiler:Lensky]]'s death are alarmingly similar to those of the author's own: both are [[spoiler:poets]] who got shot in a duel with a man who tried to seduce their beloved ([[spoiler:fiancée in Lensky's case]] and wife in Pushkin's case). |

| 4 | !!The Opera: |
| 5 | * SugarWiki/{{Awesome Music}}: It's Tchaikovsky, after all. Special mention to Tatyana's letter aria, though. |
| 6 | * HoYay: Onegin and Lensky in some productions. In fact, Krzysztof Warlikowski's production at the Bayerische Staatsoper reimagines the opera in a ''Brokeback Mountain'' style, with Onegin portrayed as a gay man, with Lensky as his lover. |
| 7 | * JerkassWoobie: Yes, Onegin was kind of a jerk, but it's hard not to feel sorry for him by the time Act III rolls around. |
| 8 | * TearJerker: The whole opera, really. It's a story about mistimed love and passion, shattered innocence, and Tchaikovsky's music just serves to highlight all the sadness and pain of the opera. |
