Which of the following statements
best applies to Anna Karenina ?
1. Among her most prominent
qualities are her passionate
spirit and determination to live
life on her own terms.
2. She accepts the exile to which
she has been condemned.
3. She is a victim of Russian
patriarchal system.
4. Anna is deeply devoted to her
family and children.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Passion, resistance to patriarchal constraints and deep attachment to her son support 1, 3 and, in a qualified sense, 4. Anna’s unequal feelings towards her children and the complexity of her family rupture make statement 4 debatable; the combination 1 and 3 is consequently also defensible. Accepting exile without resistance is not a sound description.
