War and Peace: Three Girls in the War Era

There are many angles to interpret Tolstoy's War and Peace, many of which tend to call it great and macro, but I want to look at the three girls Natasha, Maria and Sonia in this book from a small and micro angle.

During the Russo-French War, their most important marriage was also implicated, and their distinctive personality touched the readers with actions.

One is Natasha. Previously, I wrote in Jia Mu's evaluation that Natasha was a peerless beauty. When I saw a handsome guy, I forgot my poetry book, and so did my parents. I am absorbed in my lifelong events. Beauty is not a beauty, but a thief. This thief is also a thief who steals hearts. Prince Andrey, Anatoly, Pierre, etc. Attracted by her. She is a young Rostov girl, beautiful and charming. Natasha's mood often fluctuates with all kinds of men in her life. As the old duke said, after she was engaged to Prince Andrey, she was married for another year. Who would have expected Prince Andrey to keep his promise, but Natasha didn't. After several contacts with Anatoly, her heart was greatly moved. Anatoly fled far away, and she also broke off her engagement with Prince Andrey. After a period of gossip, the war intensified. Natasha left her hometown with her family and met Prince Andrey again. At this time, Prince Andrey was seriously injured, and she had to take care of him. In Prince Andrey's last days, she couldn't help giving him love and care. Then, after Prince Andrey died, Natasha saw Pierre again, and her thoughts about Pierre fluctuated. Her half life seems to revolve around love, and someone has to love it. She can't keep loneliness, it is like a stream of water with endless love.

The second is Maria. Maria's father, the old duke, is very strict with her. Under the guidance of her father, Maria lived a nun-like simple living in a monastery. Her father taught her to read when she was young, and then studied geometry, algebra and so on. When she grew up, she became a housekeeper. It can be said that she is a typical lady However, she is divorced from ordinary people. When the war spread to their manor, she asked everyone to give up here and leave with her, but everyone opposed it. She doesn't know that land is the foundation of farmers' survival. Besides, they can't trust nobles. Maria is not a clay figurine. She also has her own feelings, such as her interest in Pierre. However, every contact and dialogue, she appears stiff. Natasha, her brother's future wife, doesn't agree with each other's behavior, but seeing her care for her brother when he is dying, she can relax, accept her and become friends with her. She took care of her nephew for her dead sister-in-law and took full responsibility after her father and brother died. I can't help but mention that she doesn't like the life led by her father. When the old duke was terminally ill and dying, Maria had hoped that his father would die soon. But she soon regretted it. Although she has evil thoughts in her heart, she is more guilty of believing in God.

Third, Sonia. Compared with Natasha and Maria, Sonia's plays are not very important. Her role is a bit "Lin Daiyu", and she relies on others. But some differences are that Sonia is not a prominent person, nor a person full of rebellious consciousness, and her image is more flat. When his wife advised her to give up love and help Nicholas, her psychological description was touching. Sonia deeply understands that her family is kind to her, and she wants to repay them, but the premise of repaying them is to sacrifice her love. Her understanding of justice is not as profound as she thought, and she will still be entangled and sad.

In a word, under the profound life picture of war and peace, three lifelike aristocratic girls give readers a glimpse of that era.
