character
Vera Gavrilovna Kuznetsova
Verochka
also: Вера Гавриловна Кузнецова, Вера, Верочка, Vera, Vera Gavrilovna
The twenty-one-year-old daughter of Gavriil Kuznetsov, dreamy and carelessly dressed; she walks Ognev to the edge of the woods on his last night in the district and confesses her passionate love for him, only to be gently and clumsily refused.
Reading notes
- Verochka §17 Vera Gavrilovna
The formal name-and-patronymic form (given name plus "daughter of Gavriil") that Ognev uses throughout the story even after her confession -- a small but telling marker of the social and emotional distance he never closes, in contrast to the diminutive "Verochka" that recurs in the narration's own, more intimate memory of her.
