All About Anna Karenina: Part 2, ch 28-35 Haikus

Laurel Osterkamp · January 25, 2023

 

  1. Anna watches Vronsky race, and Alexey is next to her

Smile your chilly smile

Call me a wicked woman

I see only him

  1. Anna loses it when Vronsky falls during the race

Go, you hateful man.

I am Vronsky’s mistress. Stop

Being so polite.

 

  1. Kitty is in Germany, finding herself and making a new friend

People are so false

Not Varenka though. She rocks.

Want to be like her.

 

  1. Varenka is Kitty’s new girl-crush (her last one was Anna)

She never married

And yet, her life has meaning

How does she do it?

  1. Varenka, Varenka, Varenka

So many virtues

She recovered from lost love

I’m not nice at all

 

  1. Kitty volunteers as a nurse

Helping others heal

Heals me as well. I’ve grown

A more mature heart

 

  1. Kitty is disillusioned when her dad criticizes some patients

My dad’s opinions

Have poisoned my mind. He’s mean

But he has a point

  1. Kitty leaves Germany and says goodbye to Varenka

Goodbye. Please visit.

What? Only if I get married?

Fine. I’ll get married.

End of Part Two!!!
