-Ivan tells a story about his youth. This is a flashback.
-Varenka is a girl that Ivan liked when he was younger.
-Ivan is very unhappy. His tone and choice of words indicate that his relationship did not end happily. He also identifies that Varenka was the greatest love of his life.
Ivan says that Varenka was majestic. He admired that she is beautiful and carried herself with pride and dignity (like a queen). This is very important to understand why Varenka and Ivan are no longer together at the end of the text.
