Anna Karenina, part I, Act III, Kitty's love

The plot of a novel usually goes to the climax in the process of constant conflict The story development of Anna Karenina is also arranged by Tolstoy, with the passion of Anna and filonsky, and the rational thinking of kiji and Levin on marriage The second time I read the novel, I found that Arkady and dolly play the role of the needle, and the main characters have some relationship with them In addition, Anna's appearance brings an emotional climax, while Levin plays the role of intermission and buffer The obvious contrast between the two main lines results in the ups and downs of the story Chapters 12 to 15 are the third act of the first part, which mainly introduces the situation of Jiji, including two scenes, which are respectively in the living room of Jiji's home and her father's study Levin proposed to kiji in the living room He was rejected He was in agony, but because of his face, he couldn't leave the upcoming family party immediately It's not that 18-year-old kiji doesn't dislike Levin, but she's more attracted by young, handsome and romantic philonsky Levin is not good at words, and does not like social occasions After filonsky came to the party, he made a lot of appearances This further strengthens kiji's interest in filonsky At the end of the party, after all the guests left, kiji's parents had a dispute in the study, because the Duke was optimistic about Levin and opposed the Duchess to consider felonsky as a son-in-law candidate, thinking that he was a typical playboy The Duke's strong opposition made the Duchess, who had been optimistic about filonsky, uneasy.
