The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories: Annotated
The Kreutzer Sonata and Other Stories by graf Leo Tolstoy
During the train ride, Pozdnyshev listened to conversations about marriage, divorce, and love. When a woman argues that marriage should not be arranged But based on true love, he asked "What is love" and points out that if understood as a personal preference for one person, it usually passes very quickly. The convention requires that two married people stay together, and first love can quickly turn into hate. He then recalled that he had visited prostitutes as a child and complained that the women's clothing was designed to stimulate the needs of men. He went on to say that women will never have the same rights as men as long as men view them as objects of desire. But they also describe their situation as a form of power over men, referring to a society geared towards happiness and well-being and How much more cunning they are than the actions of men
After he met and married his wife, the times of fervent love and fierce battles alternated. She had five children and was given birth control: "The last excuse for our busy life - our children - has been taken, and life has become worse than ever." His wife loved the violinist. Troukhatchevsky And the two performed Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata together. Pozdnyshev complained that some of the music was powerful enough to transform a person's inner state into a foreign one. He hides his mad jealousy and goes out early, finds Trukat Shevsky and his wife together, and kills his wife with a dagger. The fugitive violinist: "I want to run after him. But remember, it's ridiculous to run after your wife's lover wearing socks and I don't want to be nonsense, but terrible. "
Later, acquitted of murder due to his wife's adultery, Pozdnychev rode a train to ask for forgiveness from a fellow passenger.
