Theme
Love and marriage
The pursuit and struggle of love: The novel vividly shows Anna's passionate pursuit of love. She bravely breaks through the shackles of feudal marriage and social norms and pursues the true love in her heart. However, in the process of pursuing love, she constantly struggled between love and morality and social norms. On the one hand, she loved Warensky deeply and could not give up this relationship; on the other hand, she was condemned by public opinion and inner morality, and this struggle put her into the abyss of pain.
The essence and dilemma of marriage: Through Anna's marriage with Karenin, the hypocrisy and repression of aristocratic marriage is revealed. Karenin and Anna's marriage was not based on love, but on the combination of social status and interests. In this marriage, Anna feels extremely depressed and lonely, and her emotional needs are not met. At the same time, the novel also shows the status and difficulties of women in marriage. Women are often in a passive and subordinate position in the society at that time. Their marriages are often arranged by the family and society, and lack the right to choose independently.
Social Criticism
Hypocrisy of aristocratic society: profoundly criticizes the hypocrisy, corruption and moral depravity of aristocratic society. The nobles were hypocritical on the surface and followed strict social etiquette and moral norms, but in fact they lived in extravagant life and were morally corrupt. They talked about the right and wrong of others behind their backs, made ruthless accusations of Anna's extramarital affair, but turned a blind eye to their indulgence. Through the description of aristocratic society, the novel reveals the ugly nature behind its superficial glamor.
Thoughts on social change: Through Levin's agricultural reform, the problems and ways of findings faced by Russian society during the period of change are discussed. Levin tried to improve the living conditions of farmers and promote the development of rural Russia through agricultural reforms, but his reforms faced many difficulties and challenges, such as the constraints of traditional concepts, the conservativeness of farmers and the opposition of aristocrats. This reflects the complexity and arduousness of Russian society in the period of change, and also triggers people's thinking about the future development direction of Russian society.
Human nature and destiny
The complexity of human nature: The novel successfully shows the complexity of the characters' personalities, such as Anna's courage and fragility, Karenin's indifference and tolerance, Warrensky's enthusiasm and wavering, etc. Anna is brave and fearless in pursuing love, but becomes fragile when facing social pressure; Karenin is indifferent and rigid most of the time, but shows a tolerant side when Anna is seriously ill; Volensky is full of passion in love, but is easily shaken when facing social pressure and career pursuits. The complexity of the characters' personalities makes their images more three-dimensional and real.
The impermanence of fate: Anna's tragic ending reflects the impermanence of fate, as well as the helplessness and powerlessness of an individual in the face of fate. Anna originally had a wonderful life, but an accidental encounter changed her fate. Although she fought bravely in the process of pursuing love, she could not escape the teasing of fate in the end. Her death makes people sigh at the impermanence of fate and the helplessness of life, and also triggers people's thinking about fate.
