Anna Karenina Part 4, chapters 1-4 Haikus

Laurel Osterkamp · March 17, 2023

Nobody is happy at the beginning of part 4, and unfortunately, things are only going to get worse.

  1. Vronsky has a bad time showing a prince around

The prince is a snob

Brainless beef! Am I like that?

#mindset #loveyourself

2. Vronsky has a run-in with Alexey, and Anna looks deep into Vronsky’s eyes

If we continue

Your rosy picture must match

Who you really are.

3. Anna and Vronsky question why Alexey clings to his sham of a marriage

Can a man who feels

Love, live with his unfaithful

wife–call her ‘my dear?’

4. Alexey says he’ll divorce Anna and he’s sending Seryozha away

You, Wife, are a whore.

Who eats her husband’s bread while

Taking a lover.


5. Alexey sees a divorce lawyer

Gleefully, he says,

“Get her on adultery.”

I don’t trust this man.
