about his wife or family. Indeed, he is viewed as the awful husband who is holding Anna hostage in a loveless marriage. However, this is a highly exaggerated description, if not completely false, analysis of Karenin. Upon careful analysis of Karenin’s character and his actions, it is clear that he is not the person Anna makes him out to be. In fact, with thorough examination of the passage on pages 384 and 385 of Anna Karenina, it is clear that Alexei Karenin can be considered the hidden tragic hero

Mamela Nyamza is a South African contemporary dancer, choreographer and teacher. She is one of the South African choreographers with a powerful voice and her works are performed internationally. Mamela was born in 1976 in Gugulethu, Cape Town. A lot of her works rips into vulnerable base of European culture and all the pretentious nuances it represents. In this essay I aim to discuss the choreographic aesthetics and the treatment of the body in performance by making reference to specific works, mainly

Leo Tolstoy presents two extremely different deaths in Anna Karenina: one of a sickly brother losing his battle with illness, and one of a woman brimming with intricate complexities committing suicide because she does not feel like she has a purpose in her life. As Fyodor Dostoevsky asserts in his work evaluating the novel, “In Anna Karenina is expressed a view of human guilt and criminality. People are portrayed in abnormal circumstances… caught in a whirl of deceit, people commit crime and fatally

Compare and Contrast of Quindlen and Lutz Upon reading and examining two essays, “Life under the chief doublespeak officer” a narrative by William Lutz and “Homeless”, a descriptive by Anna Quindlen, I firmly believe that Quindlen provides the preferred essay due to the gravity of her subject, greater personal relevance, and that her material allows the reader to sympathize with the subject matter. William Lutz’s essay addresses the growing trend in Corporate America to disguise actions with words

The Anna Karenina principle is important because it explains “a feature of animal domestication that had heavy consequences for human history.” Specifically how suitable big wild mammals were never domesticated and most domesticated animals are Eurasian. The Anna Karenina principle directly applies to domesticating animals because to be domesticated, a species must “possess many different characteristics,” as there must be many characteristics of happiness in the principle. Diamond states that lack

The novel begins with a rather striking quote, taken from Romans 12:19: ‘’Vengeance is mine, I will repay’’ (Tolstoy XXV). This sentence’s meaning in it’s biblical context and full length, is that it is not up to people to punish others for their wrong-doings, but that God will eventually take revenge and repay them

This is how Peter throughout these empresses’ rulings became more than a past ruler, he became a legacy of some sort. Empress Anna Ioannovna ruled from the early to nearly-mid 1700s, she was known to be rather fat, ugly, and have an unlikable personality. She was very crude but largely due to her childhood and even her life during adulthood. Her mother had a distaste towards her

woman who is far more grown than Kitty is. Even her outfit reflects this: even though Kitty thought Anna would look most beautiful in a bright, gaudy lilac, Anna chooses to wear a minimal, and yet ultimately more stunning, black dress. Kitty observes Anna’s dance with Vronsky, and the feeling that she will never truly come to understand everything in the way Anna does hits her hard. In comparison to Anna, Kitty is unquestionably a child, and this comes with two thoughts: first, the thought that she is

2-Tolstoy’s Character. Tolstoy was a multi-dimensional man. In his long career he had been a teacher and educational theorist, a philosopher and social critic, a successful farmer and paterfamilias, a soldier, and a prophet. Above all, however, he was a great artist, and it is on his fiction that his fame at present rests. The literary career of this "great writer of the Russian land" (as his contemporary Turgenev called him) may be divided into three parts: the early period of literary apprenticeship
