The first plot:
Some revelations about the Russian nation:
From the outside, it is incomparable with the gentleman style of Britain and France, giving people a vaguely rude and uncivilized feeling.
Spiritual: Idealistic, spiritual. Russians tend to want the body to follow the soul, regardless of reality. There is ancient chivalry, masculinity, the defense of honor. Sincere and honest.
Example: The officer drinks, the hero fights, the maid follows the master to Siberia.

Women after learning that the hero is in prison: Treat it rationally. I tried all kinds of ways, but it didn't work in the end. I would get married, and through tortuous ways, I finally arrived in Siberia. The hero's mother just cried, and the maid went to Siberia with him.
The woman goes to visit the hero: the jailer does not accept money. . .
