The main character of the novel – Evgeny Bazarov, the person with surprisingly integral character, deep mind and the settled beliefs, excellent from conservative. He denies everything: art, music, esthetics and verses. His belief is based on science, the living arrangement is explained by science. Bazarov – an embodiment of democrats, accepting only what is useful for it, not recognizing authorities and the thought-up earlier conservative principles. Bazarovsky indifference to romanticism and love shows how the era of "Education" forces out ordinary way of "Romanticism".
