Reading trough all this shit for THAT ending? What was Tolstoy thinking? Seriously, how were the last 100 pages even relevant to most of the story?

This. He worked so hard, got so far, then motherfucker fumbles the ball at 1 yard line.

As far as failures go, W&P is still a masterpiece, albeit flawed because he climbed up his own asshole.

This board is so polluted nowadays that you never know if someone is asking a sincere question or if they're just shitposting.

are you guys talking about his thesis on how a divine force is what carried out the entirety of the history and every actor was simply part of a huge mechanism aka God? I thought it was excellent.

It's a sincere question in disguise as shitposting.

OP knows he will never get a serious answer if he just posts, "W&P Thead. I quite liked it, but what's up with that ending? It's kind of weak tbqh," and will just get a couple posts calling him a pleb, but if you just shitpost you will get more replies some of which maybe snowballing into a serious discussion.

Try it next time you want to talk about a book or author on /lit/. Shitpost instead of trying to spark a serious discussion.

But is it Literature? Tolstoy the didact is a fucking bore. Only the most loyal of fans will read his later period, dry lectures.

an epic is supposed to be god's stream of consciousness, starting in medias res and ending accordingly, like the slice of a sausage, not like a high concept narrative.
