Paper Summary:

This paper explains that Leo Tolstoy, in his novel, "War and Peace", emphasizes the underlying theme of freedom through the character of Pierre. Specifically, the paper points out that Tolstoy illustrates through Pierre how people come to discover the truth of life through experience. The paper concludes that Pierre discovers that, while peace, freedom and happiness are attainable, they are not always easy to get.

From the Paper:

"Another aspect of Pierre's life that illustrates his transformation form war to peace with his own internal war that coincides with the actual around him. Pierre looses his grip on reality and begins to drink. In this way, we can see how his life has entered into a "war" phase. He not only witnesses a physical war, he undergoes a mental one as well. He looses faith in mankind and is on a downward spiral. He drinks to escape his mental oppression. His mental state worsens as he becomes convinced that he must assassinate Napoleon."
