"An Exploration Of Love And Loyalty In Leo Tolstoy's War And Peace"

Abstract

According to Tolstoy The Love, which means, An enemy can only be loved with divine love, yet a loved one can be loved with human love.Only when one is willing to give up oneself for another can love truly exist. 1865–1869: War and Peace, The Anna Karenina, 1873–1877 Considered Tolstoy's prime writing years, all of his literary prowess and moral principles appear to be equally balanced during this time: Tolstoy the seeker, the man, and the lover of the natural and human worlds balances Tolstoy the philosopher, teacher, and sage. It is generally believed that Tolstoy writes as close to how life itself would write itself as possible. There are numerous romances in War and Peace with differing levels of success. In many of these partnerships, people replace true love with a variety of factors, such as reputation, passion, or impersonal ideals, due to social pressures or their own inexperience as young people. The phoney marriage between Pierre and Hélène, which is only deemed lovely by society, is among the most blatant examples. In a completely different situation, Natasha is caught up in the delusion that Anatole Kuragin is a good man when he flirts with her. Even in a relationship with real promise, such as Natasha's engagement to Prince Andrei, their romance wanes because Natasha is more of a symbol of Andrei's happiness than a unique individual. Usually, it only happens after characters.
