In this chapter we see how marriage has changed Natasha. Unlike her former self she isn’t concerned with her appearance and isn’t seen in society. All of her attention is concentrated on the subject of family. We’ve got a glimpse that this might be unusual because she is the subject of jokes and it is said how there where discussions and arguments about women’s rights, but this is quickly dismissed because Natasha does.

As I’m a man and we already got a man’s perspective from Tolstoy on how women were in these days, I was wondering, what do the women in this subreddit think of this chapter? This doesn’t mean that the men can’t contribute anymore to this discussion. Everyone’s welcome of course.

Final Line:

And this reflection came not by way of logical thinking, but otherwise- as a mysterious, unmediated reflection.
