Anna Arkadyevna Oblonskaya (in marriage Karenina) " Whore of Babylon "?
:D>

I'm just under the fresh impression of the film yesterday watched the movies, at nightfall . )
"Do not eat raw tomatoes for the night " (c)
Cyril, you think that the relationship /association is not justified ?

Of course not.
1. " Whore of Babylon " - some theological concept in Christianity ;
2. I do not think that deserves some member adultery "whore" even in the everyday sense , and apparently did not deserve even in Russia at that time : in fact, would not be prohibited if the divorce would not be a topic for a novel and .

1. Yes, initially , certain theological concept , revealed in Revelation. But after the fact , and we are given these "images " that would be guided by them in the worldly life . The more so given that Orthodoxy was an integral , strategic paradigm of imperial Russia. Recall the triad Earl S. Uvarov - Orthodoxy , Autocracy , Nationality .

2. Cyril, you understand, even fiction ( especially in the case of Tolstoy ) is didactic , I would say , even more than any other , because it is much more accessible to the masses. And here is much deeper than the legislation in matrimonii . First of all, what is a human tragedy (!) , Which affected not only the Karenin. It was all ...

I like in my life "guided", sorry. :)>

Do not quite understand the second part of your message to the masses hudliteratury didactics (which? Russia at that time ? ), Etc. b. it " it was all ". :D>

Canonical WB looks like . way

nothing like watching :shy:>

Yes, we know what it looks like , not just her straddle )
And here the canons ? - Is Felix Volossenkov !
Speaking of the canons and the divinity in this case , the Felix their canons , because he - God. Almost all the pictures are called " Appearance of God hair through ..." and the name of the story /picture.

Added after 31 minutes
Yes, for the then reading masses.
Hood. literature exists , I think , for empathy.
