A bachelor, Vronsky is eager to marry Anna Karenina if she will agree to leave her husband Karenin, a senior government official, but she is vulnerable to the pressures of Russian social norms, the moral laws of the Russian Orthodox Church, her own insecurities, and Karenin's indecision. Although Vronsky and Anna go to Italy, where they can be together, they have trouble making friends. Back in Russia, she is shunned, becoming further isolated and anxious, while Vronsky pursues his social life. Despite Vronsky's reassurances, she grows increasingly possessive and paranoid about his imagined infidelity, fearing loss of control. A parallel story within the novel is that of Konstantin Levin, a wealthy country landowner who wants to marry Princess Kitty, sister to Dolly and sister-in-law to Anna's brother Oblonsky. Konstantin has to propose twice before Kitty accepts. The novel details Konstantin's difficulties managing his estate, his eventual marriage, and his personal issues, until the birth of his first child.Anna Karénine est une jeune femme mariée à Alexis Karénine, fidèle et mère d'un jeune garçon Serge. Anna Karénine se rend à Moscou chez son frère Stiva Oblonski. En descendant du train, elle croise le comte Vronski. Anna tombe amoureuse de Vronski, cet officier brillant, mais frivole. Elle lutte contre cette passion et finit pourtant par s'abandonner avec un bonheur coupable au courant qui la porte vers ce jeune officier. Puis Anna tombe enceinte. Se sentant coupable et profondément déprimée par sa faute, elle décide d'avouer son infidélité à son mari. En parallèle à leur aventure, Tolstoï brosse le portrait de deux autres couples : Kitty et Lévine, et Daria et Oblonski. Kitty est une belle adolescente qui, à dix-huit ans, fait son entrée dans le monde. Lors d'un bal, la déclaration de Lévine la flatte car elle lui donne de l'importance. Elle lui répond cependant par la négative car elle est amoureuse de Vronski. Ce dernier lui échappe lors de ce bal où il succombe à la fascination d'Anna. Kitty sombre alors dans la honte. Daria, épouse soumise et résignée, mais surtout épuisée par les tâches de la vie quotidienne est la femme de Stiva Oblonski. Malgré son infidélité, Oblonski prodigue à sa femme plusieurs marques de tendresse réconfortantes.
