• A situação descrita neste trecho do romance
Anna Karenina
By Leo Tolstoy - PART ONE - Chapter 1
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy
in its own way.
Everything was in confusion in the Oblonskys’ house. The wife
had discovered that the husband was carrying on an intrigue
with a French girl, who had been a governess in their family,
and she had announced to her husband that she could not go
on living in the same house with him. This position of affairs
had now lasted three days, and not only the husband and wife
themselves, but all the members of their family and household,
were painfully conscious of it. Every person in the house felt
that there was no sense in their living together, and that the
stray people brought together by chance in any inn had more
in common with one another than they, the members of the
family and household of the Oblonskys. The wife did not leave
her own room, the husband had not been at home for three days.
The children ran wild all over the house; the English governess
quarreled with the housekeeper, and wrote to a friend asking her
to look out for a new situation for her; the man-cook had walked
off the day before just at dinner time; the kitchen-maid, and the
coachman had given warning.
