One thing in particular stuck out to me that I still remember about it to this day. At one point, I think it's after the affair is found out but before they're officially divorced, Anna and her husband are having a conversation in French about something. The text says something about how they're talking in French because in Russian 'ty' feels too intimate and familiar and 'vy' feels too cold and distant. I wonder if that's just some supremely subtle satire by Tolstoy on the xenophilia of the Russian aristocracy at the time, anything Russian was plain and poor and was for the uneducated serfs, anything foreign was for us educated elites. Aren't 'tu' and 'vous' the exact same word?
