Reading this, I always have a question in my mind:
Why did Gregory like Axinia?
Or rather, what is it about Acsinia that attracts Gregory and makes him so obsessed?
Let's not mention the spiritual level of literary words such as kindness and sincerity, the Cossacks don't have so much culture.
It wasn't Axinia's appearance that tempted him, because the author didn't mention what the woman looked like at all.
What, then, seduced him?
The first time was when his mother told him to wake up his neighbor Stepan and set off with his brother Petro for camping.
He ran to the neighbor's house, and the door was not closed.
What he stumbled upon was a woman lying on the floor, her thighs as white as birch bark, shamelessly parted.
He stared at it for a while, feeling his mouth dry and his head ringing like an iron clock......
One more time.
It was Axinia who went to the river to fetch water, and Gregory saw her back as he rode past behind her.
The wind ruffled Axinia's skirt and the fluffy little curls around her dark neck.
Floral satin-embroidered turbans fluttered dazzlingly in thick, heavy buns, and pink blouses tucked into skirts tightly wrapped around a rounded back and plump shoulders.
Axinia leaned forward and climbed the slope, where she could clearly see the groove of the spine that had sunk under her blouse.
Her shirt was soaked in sweat and the armpits were faded brown circles.
Gregory watched her every movement intently.
He was eager to talk to her again.
Axinia is a real flesh-and-blood person, a sturdy and even somewhat vulgar young woman.
Her plump breasts, wide buttocks, and the smell of sweat emanating from her body all seduced the heart of this scumbag from Gregory.
Here, Gregory is a purely male animal, who does not think about ethics and morality, and does not care about the consequences, purely for the sake of satisfying carnal desires, stubbornly courting her in an animal way.
Gregory jerked her into his arms, like a wolf throwing a sheep on its back, which had been bitten by the neck......
At this time, I couldn't help but sigh:
Woman, it's so strange.
Like a moth to a fire, I know it's a fire pit, and I have to jump into it!

When Stepan returned home, Aksinia was watched dead and could not go anywhere.
On this day, Axinia went to the river to fetch water and met Gregory.
This pair of wild mandarin ducks agreed to secretly go to the sunflower field to meet while Stepan was out to cut rye.
Axinia smiled happily, for the first time since Stepan had come home.
Tears welled up in Axinia's eyes, and she looked affectionately at his strong, strong, determined feet with tear-blurred eyes.
Gregory's trousers were tucked into white wool socks, and the silk on them shone red.
Where the back rested against the shoulder blades, there was a freshly torn cut in the dirty shirt, and the strands of cloth fluttered in the wind, revealing a dark, triangular patch of skin.
Axinia kissed the small piece of her lovely body that had once been in her possession with her eyes, tears falling onto her smiling pale lips.
Axinia is so stupid.
It can be said that the love for Gregory is one of the reasons for her to live.
In this game of love, Axinia gave too much.
Her reputation, her husband's reputation, and the beatings she had suffered, and the sins she had suffered.
Axinia hatefully ripped open the collar of her blouse.
The pink, virgin-like chest was densely covered with purple-blue scars.
When she showed the scars to Gregory, she couldn't help but think in her heart, don't let him think that she wants to pester him, and even worry that he will be angry?
Gregory, however, put it this way:
"If the female dog doesn't want to, the male won't climb up. ”
Axinia covered her face with her hands.
She was so aggrieved that she felt like she had been deliberately punched in the head for no reason.
Gregory's words were the equivalent of the punch that Stepan had slammed into Aksine's head.
Gregory is young and frivolous, and he doesn't admit it when he mentions autumn pants, he is an out-and-out scumbag!
He didn't want to be responsible, he just wanted to escape, he wanted to leave Axinia and start his life again.
Well, in comparison, Axinia looks very pathetic.
Throughout the ages, in these indecent loves, the spectators often condemn the woman, as if everything is the woman's fault, and the man is just confused, just going the wrong way.
Why did Axinia rush to the sunflower field just to see Gregory and complain to him?
No.
She also subconsciously thought:
Persuade him! Don't ask him to get married. Otherwise, what hope do I have for the days to come?
At the same time, she knew very well in her heart that this kind of thinking was unrealistic and would not work at all.
She hoped to get a definite answer from Gregory's mouth.
As for what kind of reply it was, I'm afraid Axinia herself didn't know what she wanted.
When Gregory said:
...... I've made up my mind, let's get the result out......
Axinia's body shook suddenly, and her crooked fingers grasped the tough silk of the stem, and her nostrils fluttered, waiting for him to say the last words.
Horror and anxious flames licked her face desperately, roasting her mouth dry.
She thought Gregory was going to say, "...... Stepan," but he licked his chapped lips irritably, and said, "Let's come to this good end, okay?"
Ethics aside, if Gregory were a true man, he should be responsible for this and this woman.
Or kill Stepan, or take Axinia away, anyway, he can't watch her torture, if he really loves this woman.
However, instead of doing so, he chose the most irresponsible one, which was to give up on Axinia.
Axinia left disappointed......

As I said earlier, in this game of love, Axinia gives too much, much more than Gregory.
Gregory was dashing enough to quit at any time, he could see the love as an instinctive impulse, the villagers could see him as young and frivolous, he could marry peacefully and go on with his life, as long as he forgot about Axinia and stopped associating with her.
However, Axinia could not get out.
In this quagmire of love, from the beginning, she was destined to be the losing party.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, when she left the cart and walked towards Gregory, the end was already decided.
She got the nourishment of love, and at the same time tasted the bitter fruit of love.
The price Axinia paid for this love was too great, could she quit easily?
Why did she ignore Gregory's wrong words and think that Gregory was going to kill Stepan?
For Axinia herself thought so, and when Stepan was tormenting her, she thought more than once about getting rid of him.
The poor woman had no way out, and from then on, she was forever saddled with the infamy of "debauchery".
When I was looking for information, I saw movies and TV series based on "The Quiet Don", so let's introduce them here!
"The Quiet Don" has been remade a total of four times:
The Axinia pictured above is a film version made in 1992, however, the film was not released until 2006 and received a mediocre response from audiences.
Because Axinia in the movie is played by a Frenchman, while the male protagonist Gregory is played by an Englishman.
Doesn't it look like a Russian?
The actress is beautiful, elegant and sophisticated, but she doesn't look like Axinia.
She was fair-skinned, with a modern appearance, a face that had not been exposed to the sun, and a neatly ironed shirt.
Where is like a rural woman who works all day, and the whole noble lady goes to the countryside.
The British actor named Rupert Everett is also quite honest, he opened up about his gay identity, and said,
He had nothing in common with the Russian Cossacks, and he himself did not consider himself suitable for this role.
I don't know, what does director Sergei Bondarchuk think?
The Axinia pictured above is a TV series filmed in 2015.
The actor is a beautiful Ukrainian girl named Polina Chernyshova.
Sadly, the actor doesn't look like Axinia as portrayed in the original books.
As mentioned in the books, Axinia's eyes are black, while her eyes are blue and her hair is not black.
Gregory's actor is very similar to the description in the original book, the age is appropriate, and the key is that his nose is particularly similar to the nose of the "Merekhov" family, for which I also specially praised him in the previous reading notes.
Today, when I checked the information, I accidentally found that his nose had undergone complex makeup to achieve such an effect.
It is said that he played Gregory with a lot of character, and the TV series was warmly welcomed by the audience.
I haven't seen it, so I don't dare to jump to conclusions.
Pictured above is Axinia from the 1958 film version.
To this day, the film is considered the best screen adaptation of The Quiet Don.
The first film adaptation of The Silent Don was in 1930.
The film is a silent film.
Since the time of writing the novel is basically the same as the time of filming, the actors are dressed very realistically, exactly the clothes described by the author, and all the utensils, interior and exterior decorations in the house are real, very close to the description in the original book.
Axinia is too real, too close to life, and completely out of line with modern aesthetics.
Black eyebrows, white teeth, big dark passionate eyes, full chest, high cocked hips......
This is a real Cossack woman, as if she had just come out of the village on the Don.
This living authenticity fascinates the audience.
The film was dubbed in 1933.
Women who fall into the whirlpool of love will become stupid without exception, so stupid that they don't believe in their family members who get along day and night, but believe in the words of a scumbag who has only known each other for three days and doesn't know the details at all.
In fact, whether it is love or cooperation, the most important step is to choose the right person.
Only by choosing the right marriage partner and partner can you get things done and do good things.
The right choice determines everything that happens next.
If you choose the wrong person, everything that happens in the future is inevitable, and trouble is bound to happen.
Even if it's not you, but someone else who chooses him or her, something like this will happen, and it has nothing to do with you, but it is closely related to your choice.
To put it bluntly, whoever chooses him or her will definitely be unlucky and will not be able to run.
Gregory was a pure Cossack, perhaps a brave soldier, but admittedly, for the current description, he was also an out-and-out scumbag.
Aksinia chose him, and the girl of the Korshunov family, that is, Natalia, also chose him.
Did they all choose the wrong one?
How will the plot develop later?
Can Axinia and Gregory really break up?
I'll see.
