📜♡ “ 𝑰 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒇 𝒑𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒐𝒎,  𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕, 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆? ”

First love by Ivan Turgenev is an autobiographical novella exploring the author's first experience with Love.
The story follows a 16 year old boy Vladimir who falls in love with Zinaida Alexandrovna Zasyekina, a 21-year-old woman.
As the story unfolds, Vladimir experiences the pangs of unrequited love. Zinaida plays with his feelings as she enjoys being the centre of attention. However, she herself harbors feelings for another man who's revealed to be Vladimir's father. This discovery leaves Vladimir in despair. He becomes helpless but nevertheless doesn't stop loving Zinaida.
The story explores themes of youthful innocence, unrequited love and the fleeting nature of youth.

❥  "𝘏𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘧𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘦…𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘪𝘥 𝘐 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘐 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘥, 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘵?"

When Vladimir falls in love with Zinaida, he idealises this idea of love. it seems to him that it's the best feeling in the entire world. He dreams about love and love.

❥ "𝑰 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆, 𝒂𝒍𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒊𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒍𝒆, 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍-𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈."

However he soon realises that love isn't all butterflies and roses, with the pangs of jealousy, unrequited love and despair he explores the ugly side of this love.

❥ “ 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒄𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒚 𝒂 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒐𝒚; 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆. 𝑰 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚; 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒅𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐𝒐.”

❥ “𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒋𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒄𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒚 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔. 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒍𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒌𝒚, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒑𝒊𝒅𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒃𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕.”

But nevertheless he continues to love her despite the way it makes him suffer.

❥ "𝑰𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒓𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒋𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒔𝒆."  

❥ "𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 – 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎."

Vladimir however soon has to say goodbye to Zinaida and move on with his life.

By the end of the story - Vladimir realises something is more potent than love, more scary and it was death and the fleeting nature if youth.

This book contains Immanuel Kant's 4 essays:

1. 𝐀𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: ‘ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭?’

Kant discusses the concept of enlightenment and its impact on humans. According to Kant Enlightenment simply means the will to use one's own understanding and to Question other's ideas. According to Kant, people nowadays lack the courage to do this. He insists humans to this Immaturity and talks about ‘Sapere aude’ - Dare to be wise.

🔸𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘵𝘰 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦: 𝘚𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘥𝘦! [𝘋𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘦!] 𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨.

Kant then talks about the freedom needed for enlightenment. According to Kant this Freedom will make people use one's reason in all matters- that's the freedom which would make us rational human beings.
Kant then talks about religious immaturity and says it's important for a society to come out of it. He talks about matters of religion as the focal point of enlightenment.

2. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞: 𝐀 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐜𝐡:

In this essay Kant talks about peace and the ideal ways to achieve it. 
Kant also talks about the importance of sovereign republics and constitutions for maintaining peace. 

3.𝐀 𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: ‘𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠?'

In this essay Kant discusses human history and progress. Accidentally to Kant human race can be in 3 stages: Regressing Progressing or a permanent standstill.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚:  In this stage the humans are in a constant state of deterioration. According to Kant this is not actually what's happening because it will cause annihilation of mankind .

🔸“𝘈 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘥𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺, 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘪𝘵𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥”


𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒖𝒅𝒂𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒑𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒖𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚: That's the idea that human beings are in a constant state of improvement. however Kang doesn't believe in this as well, he thinks it's absurd and cannot be maintained.

According to Kant, there's a rise and fall of equal magnitude  in moral affairs of the human race which constantly alternates and endlessly fluctuates and thus produces no more effect.

Kant then discusses 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 : Kant talks about humanity's progress based on the understanding of humanity's history. According to Kant by studying historical patterns, we can predict the eventual emergence of a universal civil society grounded in justice and reason. He believes that humans can learn from this history and make improvements in our moral affairs. Therefore he has an optimistic view of human affairs.

4. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲:

 In this essay Kant talks about the origins of humanity. Kant discusses various aspects of mankind such as The paradise and fall of man, awakening of reason , progress and loss of innocence/emergence of evil, formation of societies etc.

Kierkegaard wrote this as a review for the novel “𝘛𝘸𝘰 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘴” written by 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘎𝘺𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘨-𝘌𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘷ä𝘳𝘥.  Kierkgaaard discusses the two ages: age of revolution and the present age. According to Kierkegaard the present age( in his time, 19th century) is the age of superficiality and apathy. The present age lacks passion as compared to the age of revolution (past times).

📍𝑨𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏: Kierkegaard talks about the past age and describes it as the age of passion and revolution. According to Kierkegaard, it was the age where people actually acted on their passions and were not afraid to take a stand for themselves and their ideologies. 

🔸"𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘵; 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯."

📍𝑨𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏: Kierkegaard then talks about the present age and describes it as devoid of passion and where people overthink and don't take any action. It's full of apathy and superficiality.

🔸“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨  𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯, fl𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭, 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘵-𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘢𝘴𝘮 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦.”

🔸 “𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘯 𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘴; 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦, 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺. 𝘊𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘱𝘩𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦, 𝘺𝘦𝘵 𝘥𝘦- 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘰, 𝘯𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘯𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘳, 𝘯𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩, 𝘯𝘰 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯, 𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘣𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”

Then Kierkegaard discusses some other issues such as leveling, where individuality and greatness are suppressed in favor of uniformity and mediocrity. According to Kierkegaard this destroys the passion and thus is responsible for the passionless present age.Kierkgaaard then criticises the focus on “the public” in present age and the decline of ‘individuality’.

𝙋𝙡𝙤𝙩 : the story revolves around 7 Shakespearean actors who get their lives entangled between performance and reality and finally ending up in a tragedy.
With themes of love, passion, friendships, betray, guilt and sacrifice it's such an intense read.

✧ Oliver: The main character and narrator of the story. He's extremely passionate and good actor but insecure and doubts his abilities too much. 
✧ James : hot-headed , self absorbed and impulsive.
✧ Richard:  Although he's not actually that much involved in the story and we hardly have an idea what made him behave that way, but from whatever we know about him, he's an arrogant asshole who thinks he's entitled to do anything he wishes.
✧ Meredith: Smart and beautiful but lets people treat her like shit, she deserves better.
✧ Wren & Alexander:  they play a minor role in the story and are nevertheless good friends.
✧ Fillipa: the sweetest one in the group, helps everyone, a real friend.

𝙀𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜: That was unexpected - Oliver's sacrifice , it's beautiful and tragic. He doesn't only save James but he saves all of them. And he deserves so much better. 
Despite everything i want him to end up with Meredith. i get that ending was ambiguous and we aren't sure if James is actually dead but honestly Oliver is better off him.

sometimes you gotta say what in the absurdism is this and move on! 😄👍🏻

3.5 stars, i don't understand this genre of poetry (i don't understand poetry tbh) but whatever, didn't enjoy this one.

I think there is a lot of symbolism in this story. it's about a couple who want to abort the baby but aren't sure how it's going to affect them. They aren't sure if they should go with abortion or if they should have the baby. And they aren't sure of the outcome of their decision whether they will stay together or break-up.

what a disappointment!

can't believe this was 500+ pages and had no plot whatsoever? like what happened? the 1st two books were so good and this was just so boring and repetitive
