Veslovsky gets around, man. Crash someone's horses into a mud bog and then get caught hitting on his wife? Oh well. Time to move on to my next richest friend to mooch off of.

The Levin family is doomed to ruin: Nikolai with his self-destruction, Sergei and mourning a woman dead for decades, and Kostya being the biggest whiny baby this side of the Neva. You're going to let Ribbons McHandsome get your feathers ruffled, K? Come on, son.

Surprise, surprise. Anna and Vronsky are vapid art pretenders.

Anna is the living worst. Vronsky is a close second.

Waiting for that other shoe to drop with Levin. He's not allowed to be this happy.

Tolstoy likes to just give you a taste of the eponymous storyline before we have to dive back into Levin and his misplaced obsession with being a farmer. Did you know if you put calves out in a field of clover they'll eat themselves to death? I do now.
