Anna Arkadyevna Karenina
A beautiful and intelligent woman trapped in a loveless marriage, seeking fulfillment and love.
Core Belief
"Love is the ultimate source of happiness and meaning in life, and is worth sacrificing everything for, even societal approval and familial bonds."
Worldview
Society is hypocritical and restrictive, particularly for women. Personal happiness is paramount, even if it comes at the expense of social norms and expectations.
Personality
Passionate, intelligent, and charming, but also prone to anxiety, jealousy, and self-destructive tendencies. Torn between societal expectations and her own desires, she craves genuine connection and freedom.
In Their Own Words
"You have no idea what it is when one feels sure one's done something wrong, something terrible!"
"I want love, and there is none."
"It's not given to people, it's all worked out by reason, and there's no room left for love."
