Literature Analysis "Anna Karenina"

• Anna Karenina is mainly about characters being married to guys that they are unfaithful for. Every relationship that takes place in the book has the female married to a man that they want a divorce from, or in Anna's case, is cheating on. Anna doesn't receive a divorce and vomits suicide. He husband Levi starts questioning the meaning of life and figures out life is what he makes it.
• The theme of the story is life can be molded into whatever you can envision.
• The authors tone is desperateness. When Anna is pleading for a divorce so much that she commits suicide be aide she doesn't get it. Nikolai becomes ill and lays on his death bed as Kitty comforts him. Nikolai is desperate for love and affection in his last days. Lastly, when Levin is in search for a meaning to life.
• The author uses a tone that describes how the characters feel during time a of adultery and divorces which brings a connection between characters and reader. Sometimes the author uses direct characterization to describe a character, so he can pull right back to the main point of the scene. He also uses indirect characterization to describe some characters in terms of the romantic side, and there feeling of how there wife's have been acting. On thing the author seemed to emphasize is irony. He used this to display the usefulness of certain characters in given situations.
• Sometimes the author uses direct characterization to describe a character, so he can pull right back to the main point of the scene. Also the feelings of different characters are sometimes partially described directly to achieve a simple basic connection, but when he attempts to bring a deeper meaning behind a characters reactions or feelings, it is sometimes described indirectly. He also uses indirect characterization to describe some characters in terms of the romantic side, and there feeling of how there wife's have been acting. (Same as right above)
• The authors syntax and diction doesn't change much between character and descriptions, the main difference I would see, was the approach in describing each character in ways to make them appears more real to the reader.
• Main character is flat and static. She doesn't change at all. I fact she is so into her adultery and love for another man that she commits suicide because she is denied access to that man.
• I did not feel like I actually knew the character. Mainly because a block came up for me because I disagreed with a lot of Anna's actions so much though that I rejected the opportunity to understand the characters beyond the page.
