Anna is not an irrational person, but in the face of the burning fire of love, this sanity is nothing but a drop in the bucket.
Burned Anna, but saved Katie. Katie had only Vronsky in her eyes. Without this unexpected encounter, how could she understand Levin's goodness.
Levin is literally Leo Tolstoy himself incarnate. Born into an aristocratic family but with serfs, he has all the material conditions but likes hard work and a simple life, questioning social injustice and inequality between people, and pouring out his most simple affection for the land and people at the bottom.
But I want to pay tribute to Karenin at the same time. He was a high-ranking official, but he never had an affair; he was eloquent, but he never rhetoric to a woman; he regarded marriage as a sacred union, and he always supported his wife in public even when everyone was rumored to be unfaithful. . . . . . Anna makes mistakes again and again, he forgives again and again, saves after save.
What touched me the most was his frank statement: "I can't forgive her. I'm not a cruel person, and I never hate a person. But I hate her to the bottom of my heart." This is the truest inner feeling, and he is definitely not Cold-blooded saint. But in the end, he still chose to forgive and brought Anna's adulterous daughter into his custody. Whether it is bearable or unbearable is that Anna doesn't know how to appreciate and cherish it.
It can only be said that Katie is more fortunate than Anna, and has the opportunity to turn back. She bowed her head here, and immediately got the understanding there. But Anna couldn't go back when she was desperate. She whispered "it's just because she was young at the time", and she could be let go by fate.
Anna's family was destroyed because of the selfish pursuit of love, but Katie's family was fulfilled because of their indifferent love.
The combination of Katie and Levin, the hardest thing to find is the luck that Katie wakes up in time. A perfect couple is born, just because this luck doesn't come often.
