exactly two hundred pages in anna karenina and something just clicked in my head. alexei alexandrovich sort of parallels madame zoe heger [town square throws rocks at me]
#i say “sort of”!!!#we don’t know what went behind the scenes#but i imagine (based off of charlotte’s accounts of her in the shape of madame beck) that she was probably colder to constantin when+#suspicions rose. the difference is that alexei didntbreak the connection (he probably will in the later pages dont spoil me) while she did#“it was too dreadful for him to recognize his real position and in his soul he closed locked and sealed the drawer in which he kept his#feelings for his family—that is his wife and son”#<- how SAD!!!!!#im a charlotte supporter by heart but that doesnt mean i cant feel bad for mme heger .#she did all that she could to protect his husband+family’s reputation.. aint no fucking way she would allow a scandal to ruin it all#and same goes for alexei#“okayy what the fuck are you talking about” this is in light of the speculation that mme heger ripped the love letters#and so we wouldnt really know if charlotte’s love was unrequited or not#tbf even if it was unrequited i kinda get mme heger bc ppl might misconstrue either way and twist it into smth else#SO to be safe and clear she did what she did#in short it’s constantin heger’s fault JDJGKSNSN#rambling on#reading tag#anna karenina#villette#charlotte brontë#constantin heger#what in the tmz shit is this why am i speculating the lives of real (and DEAD) people
