Michelle Le answers “Am I the only one who thought that Levin...”

Thoughtdome225 asked this question about Anna Karenina:

Am I the only one who thought that Levin was a boring, overly righteous sexist?

Michelle Le Nope. Levin was a creep. He was supposedly in someone fourteen years younger than him and he didn't actually love her as a person. And then he decided…moreNope. Levin was a creep. He was supposedly in someone fourteen years younger than him and he didn't actually love her as a person. And then he decided to spring a proposal on her without considering her feelings and got pissed when she rightfully rejected his proposal. For all his "love," Levin seemed quite happy when Kitty got sick. He blamed other people when his creations went wrong. I think there was also a part where he dreamed about his future wife caring about his interests and not thinking about hers. It's always about him and his feelings. (less)
