Anna Karanina
L.E.A.P. Journal for Anna Karenina by Leo TolstoyA. Section covered: Part 1 and 2 (pages 17-245)B. Summary: This story first starts out with chaos in the Oblonsky’s household. Prince Stephen Oblonsky's wife Dolly found out that he was having an affair with their children’s French governess and threatened to move out of the house and take the kids with her. Stephen Oblonsky does not feel bad for having an affair. What he feels bad for is getting caught by his wife. Even though he is upset he is happy to hear the news that his sister, Anna Karenina, is coming to town though. Later in the section Anna convinces Dolly to stay with her husband and not move out. It did not take much to convince her because her threats were empty. Oblonsky is the head of a distinguished Government Board in Moscow. He is glad to leave his house and go to work to meet his friend Levin after a committee meeting. He remembers that he friend Levin is in love with his sister-in-law Kitty Shcherbatskaya. He later asked her to marry him, but she declines his proposal. Kitty is waiting to marry Count Vronsky. When Anna comes to town her and Vronsky fall in l
You had to keep up with what was going on just like a soap opera. In the Oblonsky house Tolstoy also shows loyalty from Dolly. An example would be how Anna and Vronsky were talking at Princess Betsy’s house and everyone thought of that to be something wrong because Anna was married and her husband was in the same room. I find this story interesting to read. People who have family problems that they need to work on. Anna lies to her husband which make them drift farther apart, but she and Vronsky draw closer. Tolstoy shows different angles with each couple. There are people that would fit nicely on Jerry Springer with all their love triangles. Different characters kept getting mentioned and placed in different situations. I did not quite catch on about all the things at first. Social behavior is something that would be looked upon greatly with these characters because they are all high-class people. Now I want to find out what is going to happen to all the people and how everything is going to turn out. Each little story makes up the book. When Tolstoy is telling the story he always has a problem with some characters going on.
