    Summary

    Trains, candles, what happens after death or maybe just the voices in your head. Society ladies and the similarities between them. Children, or the lack thereof. Run-on sentences and if death makes you crazy. Lovers and husbands and foreign languages and drugs and whether one should get married. A pep talk, except too late and more like a monologue.

     

    Oh Anna, your candle is flickering but I do not have to tell you that. Who am I? A question, good, of the inane sort you so despise, and I once so loved, because you have to be good at inane questions to be good in society, and there was nothing but society for me. I’m Helene Kuragin, Countess Bezukhova, Yelena Vasilievna, one thousand separate names each with their own ways of classifying me like a specimen in a cabinet. Call me Helene or Ellen, because I was born in the wrong country and I can hardly even make my mouth form Russian words, nor do I want it to. Oh, and I’m dead.

     

    All adulteresses go mad and kill themselves.

     

    Or, Helene Kuragin appears to Anna Karenina as she's on the train platform.
