Summary

"The Rendezvous" by Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev is a story about the complicated feelings of love and wanting someone, set in the 1800s. It's a touching story about how relationships don't always last, and it looks at wanting things, hoping for the best, and the pain of breaking up too soon. The story takes place in a pretty autumn woods where a peasant girl named Akulina is waiting for Victor Alexandrich, a man who doesn't really care about her and has a bad attitude. When they meet, it's clear that they don't feel the same way; Akulina really loves Victor, but he doesn't care as much as he gets ready to leave her. Even though she really wants him to say goodbye in a special way, Victor is rude and doesn't take her seriously. This shows how different they feel about each other. In the end, Akulina is very sad, and the narrator sees her tears and longing, which shows how painful it can be to have a broken heart and how love can be both sweet and sad because life is always changing.
