And along with his final words, he saids, "Its obvious that I am not needed."(Turgenev 288). He may have left the novel and society without a clear identify for himself, since he contradicted his claims. But he left an impact on the others and helped them solve their struggle for finding their own identity.
So, Bazarov begins to have an influence on the other characters. At first Arkady is content to let Brazorov dictate what he is and becomes almost like a puppet to Bazarov. Bazarov tells him his way of thinking, his way of life, his way of how society works, his way to have a relationship with a family. And with that, Arkady listens and tries to understand him. But later Arkady does get tired of listening and trying to understand Bazarov, he wants to return to his normal way and won way of thinking. .
Bazarov's outlook on life, Arkady gained knowledge of who he really wants to be, and figures out his true love. Since it was Bazarov's idea for Arkady and himself to accept the invitation to travel out of town, they meet Anna Sergeyevna and her sister Katya. At first, Arkady's feelings towards Anna Sergeyevna seem to be showing some potential for him. But Bazarov soon wins over her attention, which leaves Arkady to attach himself with her sister, Katya. This starts the romance, and this is what is meant to be. Without Bazarov's existence here, this may not have ever occurred. Katya realizes her love for Arkady when she sees the difference in him and Bazarov. The difference being that Bazarov is a "wild beast" and Arkady is a "domestic animal". And later Arkady notices the difference, and later feels more confident in himself. "His reflections were profound and grave but not despondent. He knew that Anna Sergeyevna was closeted alone with Bazarov but he felt none of his old jealously; on the contrary, his face slowly brightened; he seemed to be at once marveling at something, and rejoicing, and reaching a decision" (Turgenev 264).
