Asked Grushnitsky if he asked the princess for her mazurka yet, he said no; they eventually did but she wasn’t pleasedp.

Doctor wants Pechorin to tell them they know their intentions before he is killed, but Pechorin wants to test Grushnitsky and show him some graditudeaa. Grushnitsky pointed the gun to Pechorin’s forehead and said “he couldn’t do it” and shoots him in the knee slightlybb.

Love and Death are connected – the rule for it is ‘chivalry’IV. De Rougemount – Passion and Allergya. Allergy is used as an analogy for passionb. Passion wants everything, especially the unattainablei. I think this quote shadows the matter of human beings always wanting what we don’t or can’t have. We might already have something special; a nice car, a big house, a compatible companion, but we always want more than what we already know we obtain or we are curious of the other side of things that we don’t have and haven’t experienced yet. So what it comes down to, I think human nature has a natural tendency of greed without even knowing it. Im not saying it’s a completely bad thing though, because wanting more leads to curiosity, and curiosity leads to new opportunities in life
