"The power of love to make her several times to break through the barriers of the secular, to seek his own happiness, but a sense of selfishness and guilt immediately went to her side, her heart was filled with contradictions and pain."
Anna is one of two protagonists in the novel. The most prominent qualities are her passionate spirite and determination to live life on her own term. She dares to face the St. Petersburg high society and refuses the exile to which she has been condemned. She used her whole life for seeking the freedom and happiness through love. She rejects Karenin’s request that she stay with him simply to maintain outward appearances of an intact marriage and family. She has her own idea and brave enough to try to stay with Vronsky, unlike many other the classes ladies, they live as prostitutes. But she also pushed herself into death, she depends on love as the only reason for her living, when she feels the love has gone from her lover, she gets in desperation, which caused her mental illness, and she kills herself by train.
As I said, Anna is one of two protagonists in the novel, there is a comparison between her and Konstantin Levin, they both in love but have the different ending.
