Even in translation I feel every emotion Tolstoy evokes. Is this moment of Dolly confiding in Anna setting me up for even more vulnerable feelings?

I am slowing grasping why Fauset named her novel “There is Confusion”. JoAnna and all her “praised ambition” meddles in another’s life, which drenched a veil a sadness over me for Maggie. There is definitely confusion and as such can sway life to blow in another direction. Le sigh!

When a chapter starts off with a character gazing off into the sunset, you already know those deep thoughts are about to come out. Ahab goes hard in Chapter 37. “Swerve me? ye cannot serve me,…” is like saying "who go’n check me boo?” or “King Kong don't got nothing on me!” If you know the reference, you know the reference. Is Melville writing to his haters? I’m curious. Hmmm? Great read so far.
