Paper Summary:

This paper examines how Anna and Vronsky continue an intense relationship although it is considered wrong under Russian societal standards in Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina". It looks at how this relationship goes through many stages, which can be paralleled through Vronsky's relationship with his racehorse Frou-Frou. This paper analyzes the details that prove this parallel.

From the Paper:

"Additionally, Frou-Frou's behavior and physical appearance during Vronsky's first visit closely resemble Tolstoy's description of Anna. Frou-Frou is "of unusually wide girth," while Anna is described as "carrying her rather full body" (181, 63). The physical attributes of the horse Vronsky adores closely mirror the initial physical attraction Vronsky has for Anna. Although it may typically be improper to compare a woman with a horse, the physical descriptions are similar. Also, as Vronsky approaches Frou-Frou "the more excited she grew" (182). Frou-Frou's behavior indicates a reciprocated feeling for Vronsky, which Anna also possesses. "
