Golden Peacock - Anna Karenina

Anna Karenina

[ 1 ]

Stepan Oblosky receives a letter from his wife, Dolly, saying that he is in love with the teacher who teaches his children. Dolly, who has been hiding in her room, refuses to see her husband, and the whole house is in a state of disarray, while the servants are restless and have written a letter stating that she is leaving her job.

Meanwhile, Stepan's sister Anna Karenina received a telegram saying that she would visit Stepan, who was living in Moscow. Stepan showed the telegram to his wife Dolly and begged her to appease him, but Dolly replied sternly that she would not take on the responsibility of hosting him, that she no longer wanted to live with her husband and that she would leave her children and move to her parents' house.

Stepan was a judge, and while he was out in the office, his childhood friend Levi, who lived in the countryside, came to Moscow for a visit and entered Stepan's office.

Dolly had a sister named Kitty, and Levi had known Kitty, and he had fallen in love with her, and had come to Moscow with the intention of expressing his feelings to Kitty. Stepan, sensing his friend Levi's intentions, prayed that his plans would come true.

Levi, a man from a rural village, was a wealthy landowner, so he was not worthy of a girl like Kitty. However, Levi, in that era of high status, considered himself unworthy of Kitty, so he hid his love for her for a long time, not daring to express it, and now he came to tell her that he was going to take the risk.

That evening, Levi and Stephen are having dinner and discussing their plans with their friend Stephen. Stephen tells them that his wife Dolly likes Levi and agrees with his sister, Christie, and warns them that a rival is emerging for Levi.

The opponent was a young soldier named Ruyunsky, who was rich and handsome, and served as the Tsar's bodyguard. He was of the highest rank in Russia, had a very good disposition, and was very intelligent and intelligent. Levi had not thought of him as handsome before. Hearing this news, he was disappointed and almost thought of giving up on his plan.

However, Stephen said that as far as his wife Dolly knew, Levi could not be completely hopeless, and Levi decided to tell Kitty what he had intended, saying, "I'll never get over it."

Of Kitty's two parents, Chrubsky, who knew Levi's upright disposition, was a landowner and lived in a rural village, and agreed with Kitty. Her mother, however, preferred the wealthy, handsome, and powerful Ryazansky. However, she doubted whether Ryazansky truly loved her daughter.

The next evening, Levi went to Kitty Chrubsky's house and met Kitty in the living room. He openly declared his love for her and asked her directly if she would marry him. Kitty had met Levi many times before and knew his honesty and integrity, so she had no reason to refuse. She was right to like Levi. If Levi had asked such a question, she would have given him the answer he had hoped for.

But now, having met and known the young officer, Ryazansky, who had moved to Moscow with the army, Kitty was no longer free. Ryazansky had not yet confessed his love, but everyone knew that he was always coming and going in and out of the house. Kitty therefore considered it an honor to confess to her, but she regretted that it was impossible, and she replied to Levi.

When he was young, his father died and he was raised by a widowed mother. Although he was not a hunter, he was still young and handsome, and he left Kitty's house as soon as he was old enough.

As for Rozhdestvensky, after Levi returned, he stayed at the house for a long time, and when he left, he stopped going to hotels and clubs, but went straight home to sleep. This suggests that Rozhdestvensky is not yet in love with Kitty, but that he cannot enjoy himself anywhere other than Kitty's house.

The next day, as he was going to the station to meet his mother, who was arriving from St. Petersburg, he met Stepan, who had come to meet his sister Inna. Since Stepan and Stepan were acquaintances and friends, they explained the reason for their visit, and Stepan asked if he had seen his friend Levi at Kitty's house the previous evening. He had seen him, and Stepan admitted that he had, and that Stepan had been in love with his sister-in-law Kitty for a long time, and that he had come that day with the intention of questioning her.

Stepan spoke of this with the intention of finding out how Rozhdestvensky felt about Kitty. On the way, Inna asked Stepan if he had known Rozhdestvensky for a long time. Stepan replied that he had not been with Rozhdestvensky for a long time, and added that this was the man whom his sister-in-law Kitty was expecting to marry. The two siblings then continued to discuss their domestic affairs. Stepan told his older sister in detail that his wife Dolly was upset because of his teacher's mistake. As soon as they arrived home, he left Inna and went to the office.

When Anna Karenina arrives at Stepan's house, her sister-in-law Dolly, who is angry with her husband Stepan, at first thinks of not welcoming her. However, thinking of Anna's noble nature and her past love for her, Dolly meets Anna and complains about Stepan's infidelity.

"It's true that Stephen is also bad, and my sister has no intention of defending her brother. When I heard about this, I felt so sorry for my sister. I didn't tell her not to be angry, either."
