He is largely selfish and even pathetic in some ways, a kind of Bon vivant, bursting with confidence in everything he does. Having absorbed all the problematic features of the society, Pechorin is not afraid of them, he flaunts them. And the main problem of the character of Pechorin is his individualism that doesn\u2019t allow him to be truly happy. Eternal fear to go on about fate forces him to challenge it again and again. However, to control your destiny means to be not afraid of unexpected turns and to be able to find your place given these turns. That\u2019s the main point of one of the most profound creation in classic Russian literature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\u00bbRow\u00bb make_fullwidth=\u00bboff\u00bb use_custom_width=\u00bboff\u00bb width_unit=\u00bbon\u00bb custom_width_px=\u00bb1080px\u00bb custom_width_percent=\u00bb80%\u00bb use_custom_gutter=\u00bbon\u00bb gutter_width=\u00bb2&#8243; custom_padding=\u00bb7px|||\u00bb custom_padding_tablet=\u00bb30px|||\u00bb custom_padding_phone=\u00bb30px|0px|0px|0px\u00bb padding_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb allow_player_pause=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method=\u00bboff\u00bb make_equal=\u00bboff\u00bb column_padding_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb parallax_1=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_1=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_2=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_2=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_3=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_3=\u00bbon\u00bb parallax_4=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_4=\u00bbon\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=\u00bbImage\u00bb src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/russiancentre.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lr3.gif\u00bb alt=\u00bbClassic Russian literature\u00bb title_text=\u00bbClassic Russian literature\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bboff\u00bb use_overlay=\u00bboff\u00bb animation=\u00bbfade_in\u00bb sticky=\u00bboff\u00bb align=\u00bbleft\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00bbon\u00bb always_center_on_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb use_border_color=\u00bboff\u00bb border_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb border_width=\u00bb1px\u00bb border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=\u00bbrow\u00bb make_fullwidth=\u00bboff\u00bb use_custom_width=\u00bboff\u00bb width_unit=\u00bbon\u00bb custom_width_px=\u00bb1080px\u00bb custom_width_percent=\u00bb80%\u00bb use_custom_gutter=\u00bboff\u00bb gutter_width=\u00bb3&#8243; custom_padding=\u00bb17px||NaNpx|\u00bb custom_padding_phone=\u00bb0px|0px|0px|0px\u00bb padding_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb allow_player_pause=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method=\u00bboff\u00bb make_equal=\u00bboff\u00bb column_padding_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb parallax_1=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_1=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_2=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_2=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_3=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_3=\u00bbon\u00bb parallax_4=\u00bboff\u00bb parallax_method_4=\u00bbon\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3&#8243;][et_pb_image admin_label=\u00bbImage\u00bb src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/russiancentre.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/lr4.gif\u00bb alt=\u00bbClassic Russian literature\u00bb title_text=\u00bbClassic Russian literature\u00bb show_in_lightbox=\u00bboff\u00bb url_new_window=\u00bboff\u00bb use_overlay=\u00bboff\u00bb sticky=\u00bboff\u00bb align=\u00bbleft\u00bb max_width=\u00bb300px\u00bb force_fullwidth=\u00bboff\u00bb always_center_on_mobile=\u00bbon\u00bb use_border_color=\u00bboff\u00bb border_color=\u00bb#ffffff\u00bb border_width=\u00bb1px\u00bb border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb30px||0px|\u00bb custom_margin_phone=\u00bb1px|||\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb] [\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=\u00bbText\u00bb background_layout=\u00bblight\u00bb text_orientation=\u00bbleft\u00bb text_font=\u00bbPT Serif||on||\u00bb text_font_size=\u00bb12&#8243; text_text_color=\u00bb#363636&#8243; text_line_height=\u00bb1.2em\u00bb use_border_color=\u00bboff\u00bb border_style=\u00bbsolid\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb6px|||\u00bb custom_margin_phone=\u00bb|||\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb|||\u00bb custom_padding_tablet=\u00bb|||170px\u00bb custom_padding_phone=\u00bb|||50px\u00bb disabled=\u00bboff\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h6>F.
