I perceived her state as being overly conscious of what might happen to her if she chooses Vronsky over her husband. I think this is the last time, perhaps, that Anna is thinking straight before all hell breaks loose. She is aware of her actions and of her wishes, so aware that she can't sleep, that she chokes with her own thoughts, feeling her every nerve tightening. I agree with you when you say that she wants adventure in her life, but only if she is perfectly awake will she be able to know what she truly wants.Iulia Iordachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285551249512371950noreply@blogger.com
