After a bit of reading, Kitty still isn't better! And yes, I actually have been reading the book, not just lazing off on it. Now she's in a spa in Germany... Spoiled girl... What she does at the spa really isn't all that important to the story either either. She makes a non-important friend (to the story), makes another non-important friend and upsets his wife and her idol turns out to be a pompous, stubby woman... So, if you like Kitty, then woo, this would be great reading for you! As for me, I don't particularly care. I mean, I get that Kitty's important to the story, so characterizing her is important, but she's just not one of my favorite characters. That's all!
On another note, the chemistry between Anna and Vronsky is finally realized by others besides the pair. You see, Anna and her husband, Karenin, go to an outing where Vronsky just happens to be. Of course, at this point EVERYONE knows that he loves Anna. Even the woman who once praised Anna now can't wait to gossip about her because they've all realized how much Vronsky loves Anna, even if he's never let it slip. Anyways, at the outing, Anna takes a special consideration for every word Vronsky says and actually weeps for him when he slips! This is just all to obvious, and her husband finally notices it, though how could he not when, on the ride back, Anna confesses her love for Vronsky to him?! He, of course, was furious, but she did tell him that she hated him as well and that the only reason she's staying is for their son. However, the two finally agree to at least act like a couple as to not destroy their image until they can find a proper solution to the problem. You know, I wish that divorces today were like that--Civil. If only it would happen... It's too bad! I would add to this, but what happens later kinda destroys my dream of ideal divorces, since Karenin decides to make Anna suffer by never allowing her a divorce... But you know... Well... There's nothing to know to add to that... So, that's all for now! And seriously, don't dismiss my point just because the book contradicts it! It's still nice to think about!

ReplyDeleteWoaaa, you have two Ms. Bandmans following your blog.
ReplyDeleteOh, and this dumb site didn't let me go to your blog just by clicking on you under followers. Good thing your URL is so easy to remember.
I just read this entire post, and my eyes now kind of hurt. I wish you could put a background behind the text, even if you left the rest spazz-tastic.
Oh, on to the post. I love how you input your thoughts into your entry. It makes reading the blog quite enjoyable. I know absolutely nothing about the book, so all I've got to comment on is how much fun it is to read your writing style. I guess that's okay that that's all I can say, because I'm only getting graded for commenting on the blogs of two of my classmates.
Anyways, keep up the randomness! Wow...randomness didn't get a red squiggly underline.... ._.
(Sorry for the delete, made a typo)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really interesting book...i hope though it keeps your interest for the entire book though!! Anyways, I like how in your entries you really add a lot of emotion and detail! I will try to follow your example for my own blog from now on :) And what exactly happened to Kitty?? Does this event impact the other characters in any way?? Great Job at describing the plot--I like how toy really summarize the main points!!
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of the book goes well...keep me posted~!!!
I was actually gonna talk about that in my blog entry this week, if I had one. But yeah, Kitty and Dolly move out to the country, near where Levin lives (the guy who loves Kitty whom she refused even though she loves him cause her mother didn't like him and Vronsky was supposed to be a better match, but he never came through). I'm not sure what happens to her after that though, the book follows Dolly and Levin (he refuses to vist Kitty).
