Leo Tolstoy’s novel “Anna Karenina” is the story of a silent apocalypse in the heart of a woman. Anna Karenina is torn between her duty to her husband, her son and her lover, and her heart’s passion, leading to a tragic end. The hypocritical morality of the society excludes him from society, and the harmonious family model of Levin and Kitty represents the positive ideal of the author. The novel remains relevant today in the issues of female choice, motherhood and freedom. In this article, this conflict of love and duty is studied on the basis of comparative, psychological and sociological methods of analysis.
