‘ i ask you as a lover and i ask you once again. is it true what they say? ‘ + hélène & natasha

IT BROKE HER HEART IN TWO.

’  i do not suppose it should matter.  ‘  the countess holds natasha’s gaze,  just for a moment,  if only to prove herself and her overarching confidence.  she does what she always has done in these situations in which she could be found to be less than innocent:  she refused to believe what she had done was wrong,  and so it was not wrong.

she stops,  averts her gaze.  ‘  well,  i did know.  bien sûr que je l'ai fait.  comment ne saurais - je connaître le mariage de mon propre frère ?  ‘  hélène tries to use natasha’s lack of proficiency in french to her advantage,  not to deceive her,  never to deceive,  but to shield herself from such a truth.  she decides at once that it is not the correct tactic.  how obvious a  flaw  in her philosophy !  if she were to speak in french,  natasha would surely know she was hiding the truth from her and would instantly assume her to be guilty.  she only had to explain herself simply and to set herself right in natasha’s favor once again.  as she speaks again,  she rubs at her skin.  invisible filth.

‘  i knew anatole was married,  but i figured …  that it did not matter to me,  because i did not want him to have you.  you know that already,  don’t you ?  how desperately i wanted to have you and for him to not.  how overwhelmingly happy i am now in your divine company !  i did not want you to get hurt,  of course,  i only wanted to spend such time with you that you would stray from him and …  ‘  she flounders and cannot help but find herself guilty.  ‘  i did not know how to tell you,  not then.  that i  loved  you. ‘

₩ ( but plot twist: natasha sitting in hélène's lap )

ACCEPTING.

          ’  I HOPE YOU DON’T FIND ME TOO     selfish,    my natalie,    but i think i would be very happy sitting like this with you forever.  ‘    dark eyes look up lovingly at the girl upon her lap,    arms wrapping themselves around natasha,    if only to bring her closer.    a textbook lays completely    forgotten,    hung precariously on the back of the sofa.    she does not care about the possibility of it falling or tearing or anything like that.    what did it matter when she held such a    beauty    in her hands  ?    ‘  i would even say that i could manage to sleep here,    on the sofa,    tonight,    if it meant we did not have to move.  ‘

out of the various times pierre changes his opinions or understandings throughout the timeline of war and peace, which do you think is most fundamental to his character?

hm, this is tough. i think each of pierre’s revelations comes to him at a point in his life when he needs it most and the accumulation of them is really what brings him to the self-actualization he’d been seeking the whole time. i don’t think it’s a one or the other, flip-flopping kind of thing.

pierre was always a well-meaning individual and i think he displays that in very different ways throughout the course of his life. i don’t believe his inherently good nature changes at all. as cheesy as it sounds, i feel like every time he has one of his epiphanies, it’s fundamental to his character in different ways.

he constantly loses and finds himself over and over –– whether it’s becoming count bezukhov and losing who immature, reckless pierre was or going from believing napoleon a hero to believing he has to be the one to kill him. every time he loses something in himself, he finds something new and i think each one is just as necessary as the time before and the time after.

the incredible thing about pierre as a character is his ability to grow. his desire and inherent need to change is most fundamental to his character. the only true constant in pierre’s life is there being no consistency in anything. perhaps his realization of that (the only thing we know is that we know nothing) is his greatest discovery, but i truly believe that he couldn’t come to that conclusion without each tiny breakthrough he had before.
