All About Anna Karenina: Part 2, ch 1-10 Haikus

Laurel Osterkamp · January 1, 2023

 

 

1. Kitty might have tuberculosis

Humiliation

Useless doctor. Uhgg!

My heart can’t be cured.

 

2. Dolly is also unhappy

Stiva’s still cheating

And now Kitty’s going abroad

What about poor me?

 

3. Kitty and Dolly have a heart-to-heart

I hate everyone.

Love is a lie. Better to

Be alone with you.

4. Anna tries to accidentally-on-purpose run into Vronsky

His friends are shallow

But my life is very dull

He’s my heart. My mind.

 

5. Someone wants to duel Vronsky but he’s not into it.

Duels should be fair

I’m awesome and will win. That

French actress is hot!

 

6. Vronsky’s friend Princess Betsy likes to gossip

Anna is so nice

But her husband is an ass

She’s blameless in love


7. Anna tries to break things off with Vronsky

Your fault Kitty’s sick

You say we can’t be friends. Love

Is your only goal.


8. Anna’s husband Alexy figures it out

Anna’s into him

Where is she at 2 AM?

Danger. Wife’s a whore.

 

9. Alexy confronts Anna

He doesn’t care. But

Other people noticed and

that’s what bothers him.

 

10. Anna and Alexy’s marriage is altered

We seem the same. Yet,

She’s turned evil, deceitful.

I’m an ox, head bent.
