Demon

“I am the one who hears the silent thought.”

Lermontov makes the Demon feel more human than the mortals. His loneliness in the Caucasus mountains is heavy and real.

Tamara is just a girl trying to get through her wedding day. Then she loses everything to a shadow she can't even touch.

“I'll give you everything, but not my pride.”

Love does not always save people. Sometimes it just burns them up from the inside out.

“And Kazbek, like a diamond's facet, gleamed with eternal snows.”

The descriptions of the Georgian peaks make the tragedy feel small. Nature stays beautiful even when people are dying.
