Oh goodness. Almost done. Levins at the club w the boys and him and vronsky are chums. Levin crushes on Anna while she clings to vronsky. He wants freedom. Kitty gives birth. Levin is afraid of birth but feels pity and care for his soon. Stiva begs alexey for a divorce. Petersburg is more free than Moscow. Moscow zaps life. Anna is starting to spiral. Picking fights. Jealous. Crash out

Dolly thinks about motherhood and feels trapped and burdened. She needs her husband but he’s trapping her. Dolly faces alternate reality w Anna. She is beautiful, in love, and rich. At the same time, Anna is trapped. Vronsky is trapped. Levin hates the elections. And is confused, like me. What a cutie. Stiva loves a drunk telegram ;)

Levin and kitty are married. Vronsky dabbles in painting. Levin gets used to married life and all the quibbles and quarrels that come with having a woman in your life

HALFWAY THERE. THE CHALK LETTER CODES. MY HEARTTTTTT. SO PURE :,) Levin no longer wants to die. Love heals all :,)))))))

Stepan hosts a dinner party and is such a social butterfly. He’d love social network theory. Levin and kitty (Kevin) are so cute !!! Eek!! He yearns ! She yearns ! But both so timid ! So much affection. I’m kicking my feet. I don’t care abt discussions abt debates I just want love !!

Levin comes up w new agricultural agreement/policy and reads up on econ and ag policy. Works away to forget kitty n pain. His brother is dying and levin finds meaning of life/death thru work. Anna is jealous bc vronsky leads a life she’s not a part of and she can’t love him freely…she crochets the jealousy and anger away lol. Vronsky’s love is diminishing and Anna’s gonna get a divorce. Almost halfway!!!

More tensions btwn Anna and husband. Her desire for freedom and his desire for control and appearances…
Levin also doesn’t like manual labor anymore bc it revealed to him why his farm isn’t workin out and why he and his peasants have beef.

levin sees kitty and is reminded how much he loves her. Need a man whose only passion is me and his work. Alexandrovich contemplates what to do w Anna’s affair that eliminates vronsky, separates him from Anna, and minimizes social scrutiny. “I cannot be unhappy but neither should she and he be happy”. Real. Anna also crashing out abt what to do w affair and vronsky is broke

Vronksy’s hurt, levin loves to mow his grass and hates the local government, oblonksy is a loser husband, and dolly is continuously disappointed by him. Dolly is also learning that kitty rejected levin.
