Wow, you nailed it. I read this a long time ago, but I remember feeling the same way about Anna and Wronskij; I felt as if a beautiful person, namely Anna, had been sacrificed for nothing, because I just could't feel this overwhelming love. For me, it was just unfair and sad, and also made me respect Anna less, somehow.

Well, like I said, it was a loooong time ago, but it struck me how you pointed out the same thing. I remember vaguely being quite fascinated by Karenin, though.

I look forward to hearing what you thought about The Idiot. Again, read it long long time ago, but remember loving it very much and crying a lot too. Hm.
