What is special about him? He doesn't love anybody. He doesn't love himself....How to show that he seeks and afraids of love?
Loading his pistol (start the show with it?) and fencing on his own (shadow fight). Scenes 17 & 18 together. He isn't drunk, plays drunk. As always -- the game. Even his death must be staged. (Lotman on the forms of behavior of the Russian aristocracy of the Katrine the Great era).

Where is the picture of "Dying Christ" (dead) -- Durer, Leonardo? His death, duel.
