Romantic Elements in "First Love."

There are many romantic elements in "First Love," many of which portrayed from the characters and their wants. There is a constant strive for knowledge in the story from Vladimir; he is trying to mature his soul faster than the natural world will allow him, and Zinadia is manipulating her power of the "natural" instinct of the opposite sex. The style that Turgenev used in the story was very romantic-- the style of his writing was very bright and lush with detail, using subtle symbolism and brutish characterization.
