First Love Review

      First love by Ivan Turgenev begins with a late night time, of three men sharing  stores of their first love, but when Vladimir Petrovitch refuses to tell his story, instead he prefers to write it and then come back after he is done. The story that he later finishes, he told when he was sixteen years old, and that he was in love with a princess named Zinaida, Zinaida was twenty one and also was his neighbor, she had many guys around so they can entertain her. In this part I think she just wanted him because of the innocence he has, and then she could manipulate him with no struggle at all.

Zinaida mentioned something that she worries about and makes her think about love "I must have someone who can master me .... But, merciful heavens, I hope I may never come across anyone like that". Vladimir knows that he couldn't master her in any way but he insists in loving her because Zinaida doesn't leave him alone, instead of her telling him that he's not for her, she puts Vladimir to think by giving him clues and even kissing him on the forehead, it is obvious that Vladimir a teenager that has never experienced love was going to get curious and addicted to her. As the story goes, it is proven that he wants her, Zinaida was on into his father, Vladimir notices it, he knows that he's looking like an idiot on Zinaida's side, instead of him refusing her love, he goes to Zinaida's house to say goodbye and she kisses him so passionate that makes him think a lot more about the situation.


Four years later Zinaida died and he doesn't feel bad, I think this is because the past helped him on the future, I personally would recommend this book to the audience, especially to those teenagers that had never experienced love for the first time, in fact this book could help them what love really is, not just kissing and cuddling, the feelings and what you think about love maters too.
WORK IN PROGRESS...
