Tolstoy’s women
Tolstoy had all his life long a conflictual relationship with women. Personification of this conflicts was his wife, Sofia Andreevna, whom he considered both a trustworthy partner and a terrible enemy.
In his main work all this leads to polyhedric characters, in incessant evolution and deny. The course aims to analize this constant change through the female characters of the three main works of Tolstoy, “War and Peace”, “Anna Karenina” and “Resurrection” and the novella “The Kreutzer Sonata”.
