The only good Tolstoy characters are Vronsky and Anna. The horse race was kino. Levin and Pytor are Mary Sue’s. Tolstoy wouldn’t be known today if it wasn’t for celebrity worship with all that new age shit. Tolstoy larping as a ghandi figure and hanging out with celebs. He would hire paparazzi if he was alive today

Don't we all create our own characters--to wit, ourselves--in the greatest drama ever: life itself? Aren't we all the greatest authors of human complexity in that rich tapestry in which we all weave a thread? One could suggest, indeed insist, that we improvise our own Dickensian selves in the workhouses of modernity. Whose to say that life isn't one great book read by aliens on high, and we collectively create this bestselling narrative one by one, day by day...?

To elaborate more, he isn’t a bad guy, it’s that his whole arc is typical. I always try to add that Tolstoy did Sonya dirty. What the fuck was that?
