Anna leaves a respectable marriage for Vronsky and finds that society will forgive the affair but not the honesty. Running alongside her, Tolstoy follows Levin on his estate, farming, marrying Kitty, and worrying at the question of what a life is for.

The two plots rarely touch, and that is the design: one shows a woman destroyed by the gap between private feeling and public rule, the other a man slowly assembling an answer out of ordinary work.

Why society punishes Anna’s openness rather than her adultery, and what that double standard reveals.
How the Levin plot answers the Anna plot without ever arguing with it directly.
What Tolstoy does with Karenin, who is neither villain nor victim.
How the novel treats jealousy as something that grows in isolation rather than from evidence.
Why the mowing scene and the farm chapters carry as much weight as the drawing rooms.
What the famous opening line sets up about families and unhappiness.
