"The jealousy that had tormented him during the period of uncertainty had left him when his wife's words had with great pain drawn that aching tooth. But another feeling had now taken the place of jealousy: it was a wish that his wife's guilt should meet with retribution. He did not acknowledge it to himself, but in the depths of his soul he wished her to sufer for impairing his peace of mind and his honour. And having reviwed the possibilities of a duel, of divorce, and of separation, and having again rejected them, Karenin came to the conclusion that there was only one course to be followed: to keep her with him, hiding from the world what had happened, and taking all necessary steps to put a stop to her love-affair, and above all (though he did not confess this to himself ) to punish her."
Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
Tô gostando bastante desse livro... esse trecho eu achei especialmente bonito pois mostra a sensibilidade do autor, em não ter preferência por nenhum de seus personagens, nem julgá-los nunca... Muito lindo esse livro e tô adorando o Tolstoy! =)
