Konstantin Dmitrievitch Levin
A landowner searching for meaning in life, love, and work, often conflicted between his ideals and reality.
Core Belief
"True happiness is found in a simple life connected to the land, family, and spiritual values. Social conventions and intellectual pursuits are often distractions from what is truly important."
Worldview
Modern society is artificial and corrupt, while the traditional ways of life offer a path to meaning and fulfillment. Personal integrity and a connection to the land are essential for a virtuous existence.
Personality
Honest, earnest, and introspective, but also prone to self-doubt, jealousy, and social awkwardness. He deeply values family, tradition, and the connection to the land, and is constantly striving for authenticity and a harmonious existence.
In Their Own Words
"Everything's been turned upside down and is only just taking shape."
"I don’t understand what you are doing. How can you do it seriously?"
"The one comfort is like that prayer, which I always liked: ‘Forgive me not according to my unworthiness, but according to Thy loving-kindness.’ That’s the only way she can forgive me."
