Whereas, Bazarov represented in very passionate role: he sends a note to Madame Odintsova that he is dying. With stands while he was alive, he refuses the services of the church and, therefore, remains true to his principles in this matters, but he eases his father by stating, “I don’t refuse, if it can give you comfort’,” (Turgenev 191).
