1872
Konstantin Levin, a country landowner, struggles with faith while pursuing Princess Kitty Shcherbatsky, who initially rejects him for Count Alexei Vronsky. Anna Karenina, Levin's sister-in-law, begins a scandalous affair with Vronsky, leading her to leave her rigid husband, Alexei Karenin, and sacrifice her son. As Levin and Kitty marry and build a family, Anna and Vronsky's relationship becomes strained by societal ostracism, jealousy, and Anna's increasing isolation. Desperate and feeling abandoned, Anna tragically ends her life by throwing herself under a train, while Levin finds peace and purpose in his family and faith.

Anna KareninaI will nurse him with Agafia . . . The woman will find somewhere in the village. You won't see her. She knows it's impossible for you to meet her. It is a torment to me that I have brought you under the same roof as this unfortunate . . . this fallen . . . and in your precious, in your delicate condition . . .
Then I must choose the smaller sin. Vronsky robbed me of my cloak and I will give him my coat. I will give you grounds to divorce me, and I'll accept the scandal, the humiliation and the consequences to my career.
You Petersburgers think yourselves so de bon ton compared with dull, old-fashioned Moscow, but we know how to do things--only the other day, I hear, Vasya Pryachnikov fought a duel with Kvitsky and killed him.
You're right, what do you care? You love the country--you've got it. You love agriculturing, and, Lord knows, you've got it. You love shooting--you've got it. You've got everything you want!
I'm not ashamed of who I am or what I've done: are you ashamed for me? Why do you keep a room at the hotel? Aren't we together? Have you changed towards me?
Good. A clean nightshirt and sheets. A towel and a clean pail of warm water. Ask Agafia for vinegar, and to prepare a bed somewhere for Masha. Wait.
. . . and now I'm doing kitchen maid's work because Nadya's parents won't let her set foot in this house, and who can blame them!--it's indecent!
I do not wish to forgive. I am not a cruel man. I have never hated anyone. But I hate her with all my soul for all the wrong she has done me.
