- 11: Emma: All Human Beings Are Judging
- ... idea that women were always subordinate to men. He applauded Tess for learning and upholding Angel's believes and gave Tess no believes of her own Like Flauber and Hardy, Tolstoy was a moralist. From the beginning to the end, Tolstoy's heroine was consumed by her own moral believes. Anna, like Emma, wanted more than what society offered her, and actively decided to pursue her dreams. To establish his point of moral rightness, Tolstoy gave Anna a taste of freedom and then constrained her again with her self- condemnation. Tolstoy's punishment for stepping out of the boundaries of moral codes was even ...

- 13: What Is Art ?
- Without knowing first what art is, we will not be able to tell what good is art. Having studied several different definitions of art, I am most satisfied with Tolstoy's definition of art from his essay "What is Art?" (pckt pg.21). According to Tolstoy, art is a form of communication, a vehicle which the artist can use to communicate his feelings and emotion; it is a "means of intercourse between man and man" (pckt pg. 23). Tolstoy's definition of art is hardly based on the beauty of the work, rather he focuses on the communicative qualities of the work namely, infectiousness, clarity and sincerity. Thus, ...

- 17: War And Peace
- Leo Tolstoy’s novel, War and Peace, contains three kinds of material, a historical account of the Napoleonic wars, the biographies of fictional characters, and a set of essays about the philosophy of history. Critics from the 1860s to the present have wondered how these three parts cohere, and many have faulted Tolstoy for including the lengthy essays, but readers continue to respond to them with undiminished enthusiasm. The work's historical portions narrate the campaign of 1805 leading to Napoleon's victory at the Battle of Austerlitz, a period of peace, and Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812. Contrary to generally accepted views, Tolstoy portrays Napoleon as an ineffective, egomaniacal buffoon who believes human beings are meager pons whose purpose is either to live or die on his behalf. As vividly displayed in ...

Sonya loved Tolstoy so much she copied War and Peace in its entirety seven times, but their loved diminished over the years as Anna and Vronsky's grew. The one way they ...
