Thoughts on this whore?
>>25182469I wish I was as clued up on women as Tolstoy. He seems to know more about the female character than actual females.
>>25182469Oblansky was the most based one in the book. Vronsky was a fuckboy. But it was that scene where the old man doesn't propose to his perfect teenage wife in the woods even though she really wants him to for no other reason than "just because" that really hit me hard.
>>25182487Buddy, so you really think this? I read Anna Karenina last year and I was stunned by how good it is. Without reading any analyses, I knew that Levin is a (boring but realistic and well developed of course) self-insert and might be considered the main character of the novel, but I really thought that Stiva is the best character in the novel. He's not stupid, he's not evil, he's not an idealist, he just experiences reality without pretence. I really liked him. Then I went online (yes, Reddit mostly) and I saw he's considered one of the bad guys. Why? He just doesn't pretend he's above the circumstances and beliefs of his social role, while the so called positive characters do even if they are not.
>>25182477Tolstoy was a horny motherfucker and a cheater and as a count probably regulary fucked pesant women
>>25182469She wasn't a whore
>>25182469>Male author writes about cuckoldryWoah, who would have guessed.
>>25182469Redpill book, but Madame Bovary is probably better in that regard.
>>25182487>But it was that scene where the old man doesn't propose to his perfect teenage wife in the woods even though she really wants him to for no other reason than "just because" that really hit me hardThat entire section is immense. It's like God took over the pen for a bit. And it's not even the 10th best part of the book. What an artist.
>>25182680Sorry*slut
>>25182469Not as good as this one.
You should try The doll - Boleslaw Prus. Kind of mirrored story where Anna turn to a romantic intelligent man (main character) and Wronsky becames pretty, bitchy queen. I didnt mean to simplify those great books but its interesting to see such how many simmilarities are between those two, and how story differs based on main character sex
>>25182469Something feels very artificial about this book. It's all self-inserts and memories presented as an objective view of social life.
>>25182469One of the best books ever written
>>25182968That's all authors. Trying to infect your mind, like germs. Don't pay that much mind to them and their fiction.
>>25183004It's so hard to get through. I hate the characters. I hate the narrator. And I hate Russia.
