Anna Karenina Inspired Dog Name Considerations

How can Anna Karenina be described? It is about more than just one story and covers many different plots and themes. It is a classic work of fiction that works on an epic scope. Set against the pre-revolutionary backdrop of the Tsarโ€™s Russia, it describes a life that no longer exists. The world that Tolstoy knew so well is a thing of the past. Yet his story still holds sway in a modern world. It is not about one thing and you need to look at the bigger picture to understand what Tolstoy is trying to tell you. Anna Karenina may be the titular character, but she is not the protagonist. She is used as a contrast to the real hero, Levin.

That does not make her the antagonist either. She is written in such a way that you cannot help but feel her struggles and watch in breathless sorrow as she runs to her tragic fate. If you are looking for a name for your new puppy, this might be a strange place to look. When you think about it though, there are many beautiful names, that are full of meaning, that can be taken from the timeless story.
