Book Reviews of Anna Karenina: Starring Teresa Gallagher & Cast (BBC Classic Collection)
Book Review: Anna Karenina was not a weak woman.
Summary: 5 Stars
I read Anna Karenina last year. It took some time, actually a long time as I read it purely for pleasure and wanted it to last as long as possible. I write this because of the review that I just read calling Anna "weak and confused" and in the very next breath calling Karenin a great character. Surely whoever wrote this is dillusional. Anna was faced with the most difficult decision that a woman in 18th century Russia could have faced- stay married to a shell of a man who lacked even a personality or follow her passion. She is surely not weak or else she would have stayed put instead of breaking the customs of her time. She is the most defiant, strong-will and passionate female character ever to come to life in a work of fiction. A novel like this can not even be written in the modern world because love as the center of a novel is old news and lacks originality. On certain days when I am waiting for the subway to appear from its black hole, I think of Anna when she was waiting for her train, and as the subway speeds by me, I picture myself flying in front of it and being smashed into bits beneath its wheels just as Anna was. If she is weak then no one is brave.
