FIRST LOVE

A detailed Summary of FIRST LOVE


Reading the book, First Love, was if I have plunged back into the past, experiencing the momentum of my, I would say, infatuation rather than first love. What captured my attention, in the book the most, was the peculiar interaction between Zinaida and Volodiy. Volodiy's behavior toward Zinaida is universal expression of feelings of infatuation. Volodiy's invisible expression of feelings toward Zinaida is like a scientific fact to Zinaida that Volodiy is in "love" with her. In contrast with Volodiy, Zinaida's way of communicating her feelings toward Volodiy is flirtatious and cruel, which leaves Volodiy confused and doubtful.

It is obvious that Volodiy fell in love with Zinaida from the first sight, when he describes what he felt the first time he noticed Zinaida in the yard.... "My rifle slipped to the grass; I forgot everything; my eyes devoured the graceful figure, the lovel


y neck, the beautiful arms, the slightly disheveled fair hair under the white kerchief- and the half- closed, perceptive eye, the lashes, the soft cheek beneath them" (top p. 26). What Volodiy felt was very strong and sincere toward Zinaida, but he did not realize that he was the next one to be victimized. Even though Volodiy never expressed his feelings openly in words to Zinaida, she knew that he was deeply attracted to her. As if Zinaida took for granted every man she met and assumed that it is inevitable for a man not to fall in love with her. Whether Volodiy's feelings were obvious or not to Zinaida, she immediately took advantage of what Volodiy felt toward her and punished him. Volodiy, who is still innocent, who only experiences his feelings for the first time in his life, takes abuse eagerly upon his shoulders without even realizing it.
