And Sergei Ivanovich confronted him with a dilemma: "Either you're so underdeveloped that you cannot see all that you could do, or you cannot give up your peace, your vanity, whatever, in order to do it."

Okay, this period drama is revving up the political discourse of gentry vs bourgeois/proletariats vs landlord!

Oh dear god, I have encountered a chapter more drab than Kitty's: Ivanovitch and Levin--for the love of Russian literature, pls, do something besides contemplate the peasants, peasantry and country life!

If I have to read one more chapter about the bland kerchief of a prince, his palimpsest of a daughter--her obsession with Anna Pavlovna, her obsession with squat Mme Stahl and that saintly goodness: her tiresome, tiresome goodness--GOD FORBID!!!
