Tolstoy says Princess Marya and Natasha establish a "passionate and tender friendship ... such as occurs only between women," but then goes on to describe it thusly:

"They constantly kissed each other, spoke tender words to each other, and spent most of their time together. If one went out, the other became uneasy and hastened to join her. The two felt a greater harmony between themselves than separately, each within herself."

and also -

"it was the exceptional feeling that life was possible only in each other's presence"

and further-

"sometimes, already in bed, they would start talking and talk until morning."

Okay sure yeah friendship

Sex is actually a myth created by classic Russian lit authors as a plot device to stir up drama

[officialleotolstoy]

i think there needs to be more vaguely problematic and extremely funny threesomes in media

#dave malloy writing every helene/dolokhov/anatole interaction. sorry

[officialleotolstoy]

they should invent a great comet that’s still on broadway

I'm very much at the beginning but so far what makes War and Peace for me, like 90% of the appeal, is the narrator. Literally every other sentence is like: "XYZ", he said confidently, even though he was wrong and that was stupid and no one cared and everyone hated him and wanted him to leave + L + ratio

#love how i can tell the he in question is probably pierre

[officialleotolstoy]

thinking about great comet and the one sided lesbian romance arc that princess mary apparently experienced offstage

the great comet twitter 2/?

#dolokhov tweeted that about himself #great comet

[officialleotolstoy]

if Anatole Kuragin has 0 haters I am dead

[officialleotolstoy]

Spot the difference

i cannot believe this is a real scene in war and peace 1972 but also it's the most book accurate portrayal of their early dynamic i've ever seen

[officialleotolstoy]

it's very obvious actually. the threatening to kill his wife and throwing a marble slab at her after only marrying her for her tits was a hint. the falling in love w/ a girl who was 13 when he was 20 who he's known since she was a child was also a hint.
