Everyone Learns, Nobody Changes : Images and the Ideal in Anna Karenina and Closer
Get PDFThe main characters in Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and Patrick Marber’s Closer literally and figuratively surround themselves with images of themselves and others that define how they choose to see and be seen.
