Today we will talk about two key characters inthe book of the famous and talented Russian writer L. Tolstoy "Anna Karenina." These characters will be Anna herself and her chevalier Vronsky. Do we know all about these heroes, do we understand their motives and desires so well? This is what we have to find out.
Karenina Anna Arkadevna is the centralcharacter in the book of the same name by Leo Tolstoy. This is a noble woman who lives in St. Petersburg. He is the sister of S. Oblonsky and his wife Alexei Karenin. There are two opinions as to who is the prototype of the heroine. According to T. Bers, the prototype of Karenina on external characteristics can be considered Mary Hartung, the daughter of Alexander Pushkin. It should also be noted that the fate of Mary Tolstoy (the writer's sister) is very similar to the life of the character.
What is Anna Karenina really like?Characters, through which she reveals herself as a person, show her from different angles. We will talk about this in more detail below, but for now it is worthwhile to understand that Anna is not a middle-aged bisexual woman who decided to have a little fun in secret from her husband. The female image of Tolstoy is much deeper and more capacious. There is information that Lev Nikolayevich communicated with a woman who told Tolstoy the story of how her friend committed suicide from unhappy love.
What is the nature of Anna Karenina?Characters in the book allow you to view this image from different angles, but the interpretation begins with an epigraph to the book: "I have vengeance, and I'll repay." It is also worth considering the historically developed vision of a woman in those days and the conditions of social and religious life.
The first part of the book characterizes Anna Kareninaas a good mother, an exemplary wife. She settles disputes in the Oblonsky family, helps them to establish family well-being. How does Anna live? The author tells us that the most worried woman is her son. Although in public, she somewhat exaggerated her role as a loving mother. Only observant Dolly managed to catch fake notes in Anna and Alexey's family life. At the same time Anna, of course, respected her husband.
At the very beginning, when a spark just appears,Anna tries in every possible way to extinguish the attraction to Alexei Vronsky. Girls who also liked Alex, notice that at the ball Anna is changing a lot. Something frantic, diabolical and very attractive appears in her gaze, her gait, her movements. It should be noted that Anna Karenina, the characters surrounding her, in particular Kitty and Dolly, are not at all religious. The concept of a blind religious faith can be attributed to Karenin Alexei Alexandrovich. Anna is quite different. She is a calm, fair woman who has the reputation of a morally clean woman in society. However, it is she who is "led" to an affair and gets bogged down in a complicated relationship with her husband and lover, balancing between lies and hypocrisy.
After the relations between thelovers, Anna is changing. Now she notices falsity and falsehood in the relations of all who surround her. She is disgusted, as if she noticed it all just now. Despite this, their own deceitful relationships continue to draw her farther. She herself does not notice how she goes downhill, violating all her principles, which she previously considered inviolable. After a while, Anna begins to feel like a traitor. Her attitude toward her husband worsens, she literally hates him. And all because of what feels his generosity, moral purity.
Neither a change of scenery (a trip to Italy), norA little daughter does not bring Anna the desired tranquility. She only feels deeper and deeper in her suffering, realizing that she has acted horribly towards her husband. Her longing for her son does not cease. Her biggest problem is that she can not live with Vronsky and her beloved son.
Vronsky is handsome and rich.His friends love him, he is a good fellow. Among the qualities of his character, you can note kindness, honesty, responsiveness. He is considered a romantic kind, since once in his youth he saved a sinking woman. All his money he gave in favor of his brother. Only when he had Anna, did he take a part of the income himself. With all this, Alexei Vronsky is a shallow person. He has good qualities of character, but in his heart he is callous. She treats her mother respectfully, but does not like her because of frequent love relationships and frivolous attitude to life.
What does Anna Karenina come to the end?The characters around her live their own lives, while the young woman is desperate. She is visited by thoughts of suicide. Actually, we ourselves know what the book ended with. Unable to find a balance in life between her conscience and desires, Anna could not choose between two beloved men - her son and Vronsky. She wanted to solve the problem in her own way.
What the author wanted to show in his book "AnnaKarenina "? Characters here were the backdrop for Anna or helped to open it? The answer is. Tolstoy tried to show that it is impossible to build his own happiness on the mountain of others, it is impossible to forget his moral duty. Of course, the main figure is Anna, but the stories of other characters only supplement the vision of Tolstoy, which he passed through the life story of each hero.
