I really like the juxtaposition of first Levin seeing all the good in people after his proposal to kitty and later Anna seeing all the bad, due to her unhappiness and broken heart in delirium.

Beautifully written story about Russian nobility in the 19th century, specifically the lives of Anna Karenina and Konstantin Levin as foils of each other. Tolstoy conveys  strong themes of morality, life and death, class, gender and love. From a modern Western context, many of the conflicts in the story can seem quite unnecessary but with an open mind the characters; their feelings and reactions to the events throughout the book is quite touching. I really recommend this for sure!!
