How Napoleon Bonaparte is Portrayed in War and Peace

Considering that one of the most interesting aspects of Napoleon is his legacy and that one of the most mentioned facts about him is that the amount of books written about him is only surpassed by Jesus, it would be a rather laughable endeavor to attempt to write a singular post on his "character" in War and Peace, at least as he exists outside of the novel. So instead, this post will focus on how Napoleon is portrayed in the novel, and more specifically, how his portrayed in chapters he actually appears in. At some point, I may make a post about how he is discussed by other characters or how Tolstoy talks about him in expository chapters, but for now, we'll focus on the seventeen chapters he actually appears in, which certainly seems like a low number considering how he looms over the novel at large. All quotes in this post are from the Mandelker translation.

Chapter 61: After being mentioned in nearly half the chapters leading up to his first appearance, we are introduced to Napoleon seeing the Russians, able to distinguish cavalry from foot soldiers, from the village of Schlappanitz. He is in a blue cloak "which he had worn on his Italian campaign", sitting on a small grey horse in front of his marshals. "Not a single muscle of his face--which in those days was still thin--moved." Not only do we get the picture of his determination and focus, but we get a hint of what is to come and an important theme in his character arc, which is the simultaneous decline of his abilities and physical state. He also understands the military situation better than his opponents, "he saw clearly that the allies believed him to be far away in front of them." It was the anniversary of his coronation and he is in a happy, confident mood that is like "a boy happily in love". He orders the action to begin at Austerlitz and his initial portrayal, rather than the monster the Russians make him out to be, is rather positive and forceful.

Chapter 66: Napoleon is now looking at the killed and wounded, calling the dead Russians "fine men". He sees Andrei, believing him to be dead, and calls it a "fine death." This magnanimity and graciousness, not to get ahead of ourselves, is heavily contrasted later. However, Andrei realizes that his previous hero "seemed to him such a small insignificant creature compared with what was passing now between himself and that lofty infinite sky with the clouds flying over it." So while Napoleon's victory at Austerlitz is impressive and he is a force and a developed character, he means nothing compared to the world itself, and this is an important contextualization and shrinking of his character, as well as powerful foreshadowing, as Napoleon is brought down in the novel by forces bigger than him and beyond his control. Napoleon has Andrei carried to the hospital and tells the young Russian officers that they served honourably and that "you will go far!", but when he goes to Andrei, the latter thinks "of the insignificance of greatness, the unimportance of life which no one could understand, and the still greater unimportance of death, the meaning of which no one alive could understand or explain." Napoleon's "face shone with self-satisfaction and pleasure" after assigning his doctor to help Andrei. The relationship between Napoleon and doctors prove to be interesting in the latter campaign and his belief that he has done something worth being happy over is something we've already seen twice and we will continue to see (and in Tolstoy's moral thinking, self-satisfaction over what one does is usually a negative moral attribute and plays in to one of the greatest of the Tolstoyan sins, one that applies to Napoleon as well, over confidence and hubris).

Chapter 103: This is Tilsit. Nikolai Rostov recognizes Napoleon. "It could be no one else". He is wearing "a small hat a blue uniform...and the St Andrew ribbon over his shoulder." Nikolai "could not help noticing" that Napoleon doesn't sit well in his horse and has "an unpleasant and artificial smile." We haven't seen Napoleon for a while in the novel and when we do, we already see a change in him. Part of this is because the artifice has been removed. He is not the incomprehensible monster the St Petersburg court casts him as, but he stands small in the context of the entirety of existence.
Napoleon "was quite at ease with the Tsar, as if such relations with an Emperor were an everyday matter to him." This is the insult to Russian patriotism and classism in general, which has Napoleon as the upstart and usurper that considers himself equal to the hereditary kings and queens (in Nikolai's own development, this is important because he has viewed the Tsar as his hero and god that he would like to die for). Napoleon is described as "undersized...looking up straight into Alexander's eyes." He gives a medal by taking off the glove of his hand and throwing it on the ground. "It was as if Napoleon knew that it was only necessary for his hand to deign to touch that soldier's beast for the soldier to be fr ever happy". This has Napoleon as more grand, more theatrical, and thus, more ridiculous. He leaves for the narrative for an extended period of time and comes back changed even more emphatically.

Chapter 166: Napoleon leaves Dresden and punishes and rewards those who deserve it. "his historian tells us, tenderly embraced the Empress Marie Louise--who regarded him as her husband though he had left another wife in Paris". Considering Tolstoy's two most famous characters outside of this novel are a vain judge and an adulteress that kills herself, these emphases are not accidental and serve to set up how his character will be portrayed throughout. 
He changes into a Polish uniform and goes to the Niemen to cross into Russia. He watches his soldiers work for him and has a small horse brought to him and "the shouting which accompanied him everywhere disturbed him and distracted his mind from the military cares that had occupied him from the time he joined the army." I really like this detail because it gives us an insight into the fall of Napoleon we see into the novel, as he can't sit still and contemplate the sky or have a moment of silence. He gets a telescope and a map and talks to those around him without looking up. When the Uhlans drown, they "distracted his attention. For him it was no new conviction that his presence in any part of the world, from Africa to the steppes of Muscovy alike, was enough to dumbfound people and impel them to insane self-oblivion." The whole chapter is written from the standpoint of ridiculous comedy, but Napoleon stands as someone who takes himself so seriously and sees himself as so important that colors the way Tolstoy wants us to view his character.
"That evening, between issuing one order that the forged Russian paper money prepared for use in Russia should be delivered as quickly as possible and another that a Saxon on who a letter containing information about the orders to the French army had been found should be shot, Napoleon also gave instructions that the Polish colonel who had needlessly plunged into the river should be enrolled in the Legion d'honneur of which Napoleon was himself the head." The juxtaposition of Napoleon's dishonesty and his attempt to judge and give honor is the point and, like the opera scene in the novel, how Tolstoy dresses down his character. 

Chapter 170: Napoleon enters into where Balashov is waiting with "firm and resolute" steps. He is wearing "a blue uniform...so long that it covered his rotund stomach...breeches tightly fitting the fat thighs of his short legs...His short hair....plump white neck...smelt of eau-de-cologne. His full face, rather young-looking, with its prominent chin....". The physical change, hinted at earlier, is dramatic and though fatness is not a negativity in the novel (Pierre and Kutuzov are both fat, though Pierre loses weight in what proves to be his character defining moment, Natasha gains weight when she changes into the domestic life), it shows that Napoleon has, at the very least, has changed and aged.
He has a "stately appearance one sees in men of forty who live in comfort." The focus of this chapter, however, is the way he carries himself and treats Balashov: "only what took place within his own mind interested him. Nothing outside himself had any significance for him because everything in the world it seemed to him, depended entirely on his will." He complains that he did not want war, which seems to be an obvious falsehood. His false smiles play a big role again: "You are flurried--compose yourself!" Napoleon seemed to say, as with a scarcely perceptible smile." What starts to appear now that will follow his character throughout the rest of the novel is his frown: "as if fearing to give vent to his feelings, he frowned and nodded slightly"
Napoleon's left calf quivers and this coincides with his voice rising with his "small, white, plump, hand". He quickly transforms, "evidently no longer trying to show the advantages of peace and discuss its possibility, but only to prove his own rectitude and power". The chapter we spend the most time with Napoleon and let him talk and act the most has him high energy and almost crazed:
"He evidently wanted to do all the talking himself and continued to talk with the sort of eloquence and unrestrained irritability to which spoilt people are so prone."
He repeats himself several times and "greedily" sniffs from his gold snuff-box, taking everything personally, believing that Alexander could have surrounded himself with Napoleon, but instead chose his emigree commanders. He is "hardly able to keep pace in words with the rush of thoughts that incessantly sprang up proving how right and strong he was (in his perception the two were one and the same)." We've seen all subtleties and positive aspects of Napoleon thrown out the window and he appears to be an entirely different character than he was when he first appeared in the novel and I think this is both intentional and unintentional, with Tolstoy wanting to show the difference, but as he does at times, losing his consistency over the grand scale of the novel and the various sources he culled from.
Napoleon never lets Balashov talk, "grinned maliciously and again raised his snuff-box". Tolstoy has him play up his insecurity and uses this to define who he is and highlight his inauthenticity: "Napoleon was in that state of irritability in which a man has to talk, talk, and talk, merely to convince himself that he is in the right." He becomes "perturbed by the fact that he had uttered this obvious falsehood."
Meanwhile, "his fat shoulders" twitch. Napoleon believes he has convinced Balashov and this is what leads us to the next chapter, which Balashov gets a couple of jabs at Napoleon.

Chapter 171: This is the dinner he has with his marshals and the visiting Balashov. Just like earlier, he is in good spirits after a ride. He asks Balashov many questions about Moscow, fixating on the churches and how that represents "the backwardness of a people". Tolstoy's relationship with the church in the novel is certainly complicated and he rejects the narrative of pious Russians versus godless Frenchmen because he spends so much time critiquing the Russian nobility, but this blanket statement Napoleon has is very important.
Napoleon later is "in that well-known after-dinner mood which, more than any reasoned cause, makes a man contented with himself and disposed to consider everyone a friend." He again brings up that Alexander surrounds himself with Napoleon's enemies. He considers "War is my profession", cementing the idea that he was seeking a war, not avoiding it. He pulls the ear of Balashov "gently, smiling with his lips only."

Chapter 194: Napoleon, looking for a battle, orders an advance to Moscow, but this is the scene with Lavrushka, with Tolstoy blatantly contradicting Thiers throughout the entire chapter, having Lavrushka realize he is with Napoleon, but pretends not to be because Napoleon has nothing to offer him, similar to Prince Andrei's reaction to seeing him. When Napoleon reveals himself, he pretends to be surprised.

Chapter 213: We are on the eve of Borodino and we get probably the strangest scene of Napoleon. He is finishing his toilette "snorting and grunting". He has a "plump hairy chest" with valets sprinkling cologne on him. He frowns when someone comes in and dresses and comes out too quick for his surprise, then pretends he doesn't see it. When he is told of the battle at Salamanca, he is not surprised with how it went with him not there. He pulls De Beausset's ear and is pleased to hear an untruth from him. He gets his gold snuff-box again and brings it to his nose. He gets his portrait of his son, calls him the king of Rome and has everyone to leave, "leaving the great man to himself and his emotion." It is a scene that could be solemn, but again Tolstoy injects comedy into everything to highlight the absurdity of the situation and to contrast the seriousness of Napoleon.
He brings the portrait out for the soldiers to see and gives a proclamation to his soldiers that they will be able to say they were in the great battle before Moscow. He has his portrait put away, saying it is too young for him to see the battle.

Chapter 214: Napoleon rides and surveys his army, in which historians call him a genius for doing so. He gives off an air of profundity, giving out his dispositions, which Tolstoy calls "obscure and confused if one allows oneself to regard the arrangements without religious awe of his genius...Not one of these was, or could be, carried out." The chapter ends with Napoleon being too far away to know the course of the battle or be able to do anything about it.

Chapter 216: Napoleon says "The chessmen are set up, the game will begin tomorrow!"
He gets punch, talks about Paris and the court, tells jokes, and is compared to "a famous, self-confident surgeon who knows his job does when turning up his sleeves and putting on his apron while a patient is being strapped to the operating-table." The self-confidence is a setup for Tolstoy, and his, for once, unseriousness proves to not only be a mistake, but massively inappropriate to the weight Borodino is given in the novel, as well as the massive loss of life that happened there. However, Tolstoy gives him the first human-like moment in quite a while in the rest of the chapter in a way to set up a calm before the storm. He is unable to sleep and his cold (talked about in detail elsewhere) is getting worse, causing him to blow his nose loudly. He talks with Rapp, which ends with him frowning and he rants against doctors, claiming that the body is a machine for living. He tells Rapp that military art is "being stronger than the enemy at a given moment." He sees the next day as having to deal with Kutuzov. He asks a soldier whether he has had his rice and rides up as the battle begins.

Chapter 220: Napoleon is trying to see what is going on in the battle, but can't. All the reports he are getting are false and can't be representative. None of his orders can be carried out, something that is highlighted in many of the chapters that discuss Napoleon.

Chapter 221: Napoleon, still drinking punch, gets angry when asked if he can spare reinforcements and that "I don't yet see my chessboard clearly." He tells Belliard that "In the heat of a battle it is easy to make a mistake." When he does give reinforcements, he needlessly changes which reinforcements to send. Tolstoy compares this to how a doctor "hinders by his medicines--a role he so justly understood and condemned." I only really appreciated the doctor sections in writing this article, but the chessboard and doctor mentions are paid off rather strongly in a novel that don't always pay off analogies or pays them off and then beats them to death by repetition.
Napoleon then has the de Beausset scene where Beausset wants to eat and thinks they have won the battle, a great portrayal of an evidently real scene. He "was experiencing a feeling of depression like that of an ever-lucky gambler who after recklessly flinging money about and always winning, suddenly, just when he has calculated all the chances of the game, finds that the more he considers his play the more surely he loses." Napoleon realizes that things are not the same as they were. He considers the unsuccessful campaign, "it was like a dream in which a man fancies that a cutthroat is coming to attack him, and raises his arm to strike that cutthroat a terrible blow which he knows should annihilate him, but then feels that his arm drops powerless and limp like a rag, and the horrors of unavoidable destruction seizes him in his helplessness." He rides throughout the horror of the battle and realizes that it seemed "unnecessary and horrible." He refuses to send his guard because he doesn't want it destroyed "eight hundred leagues from France."

Chapter 225: While looking at the "terrible spectacle of the battlefield" at Borodino, Napoleon's "sallow face swollen and heavy, his eyes dim, his nose red, and his voice hoarse involuntarily listening with downcast eyes to the sounds of firing." Borodino completely breaks him and changes his motivation: "At that moment he did not desire Moscow, or victory, or glory (what need had he of more glory?). The one thing he wished for was rest, tranquillity, and freedom."
He yells that the Russians want more and that the French should let them have it, a complete contrast to how he saw his enemies early in the novel. As the novel wears on, Napoleon's powerlessness over the course of history and the world around him: "he fell back into that artificial realm of imaginary greatness, and again--as a horse walking a treadmill thinks it is doing something for itself--he submissively fulfilled the cruel, sad, gloomy, and inhuman role predestined for him."
Tolstoy quotes what he wrote about the Russian war from St. Helena and then writes "Napoleon, predestined by Providence for the gloomy role of executioner of the peoples, assured himself that the aim of his actions had been the peoples' welfare, and that he could control the fate of millions and by the employment of power confer benefactions...He imagined that the war with Russia came about by his will, and the horrors that occurred did not stagger his soul." The contradiction of Napoleon for Tolstoy is that he claims responsibility for events that no person should want to claim responsibility for.

Chapter 245: A very different than when last we saw him Napoleon sees Moscow and is filled "with the rather envious and uneasy curiosity men feel when they see an alien form of life that has no knowledge of them."
He wonders what Alexander is thinking, even thinking the war is a personal struggle between the two, and how "strange and majestic" the moment is. He decides that he will spare Moscow, even though he can tear it apart. He calls for the boyars to be brought to him, even though they no longer exist. He learns that Moscow is empty and he is in a terrible position of appearing to be ridiculed.

Chapter 246: Napoleon calls Moscow being empty "incredible" and stays outside the city.

Chapter 285: Napoleon in Moscow tries to set up a government and makes an announcement to the city. He does "all in his power", which is implied, and even explicit in other chapters, to not be very much, and tries to stop the chaos. The next chapter shows all this is for nothing.

Chapter 294: With Kutuzov unable to keep his troops back or the Cossacks plundering, Napoleon rides out to inspect his line and nearly gets captured, only escaping because the Cossacks are too busy going after loot. Napoleon, "with his forty-year-old stomach", understands that he has to leave on the Smolensk road, with "the forces which influenced the whole army" acting on him. While he is mentioned in twenty-four more chapters and Tolstoy is obviously not done making his point, he does not appear in the book again and, strangely, his leaving of the army is not even dramatized, but only discussed.

In the novel, Napoleon's basic character arc is that he starts as a strong, powerful military commander with respect for his enemies, and then transforms into a confident equal of Alexander before becoming a rather ridiculous comedic character that is extremely full of himself. He is broken by Borodino before becoming bold again as he approaches Moscow, only to be instantly ridiculed and having no power over the events around him, finally leaving the novel weak and realizing he has no choice. The decline of his power is captured in the novel, as Austerlitz is his crowning achievement, while the retreat from Moscow is what kicks off a series of low moments for Napoleon that ends with his exiles and death.

As a character, overconfidence is what defines Napoleon, as does ridiculous ceremony and a sense of importance that is undercut by his failure to control events and the reality of him being a tool rather than a master of tools. This is one of the central theses of the book; a singular man is not the director of events, but the meaning of events is basically incomprehensible to us, especially when we are in them. He, at times, appears as a cartoon character and is even the butt of a joke on more than one occasion, but there is a bit of an understanding of why he is who he is, with Tolstoy understanding how the circumstances around him can not allow him to be anyone other than who he is. He is the villain of Russia, and the Russians blame him, but, at least in the chapters he appears, he isn't represented as a cardboard villain, but as a man who wildly misinterprets the events he is participating in, similar to how Pierre, Rostopchin, and Nikolai Bolkonsky misinterpret the events they are in or surrounded by.

Thoughts on the 2016 BBC Version of War and Peace: Episode 7

We start with Pierre waking up late for the battle, and then the theme music as Pierre walks into the battlefield and sees the battle, with a scale point of view shot. The strongest parts of the episode, besides the ending, are these point of view shots or shots that follow Pierre very closely, helping us understand his experiences. The battle, which is built up at the end of the last episode, is maybe a little underplayed, and the show definitely decides to focus on the small, "down in the dirt" aspect of the battle, and contains almost no large view moments of the battle.
Pierre has a discussion with Kutuzov about how he wants to get in the thick of it, with the lingering shot of Kutuzov seeming to convey some sort of approval. This really replaces his following of Bennigsen and the adjutant. He is then in the middle of the battle and has a conversation with a soldier about how they are scared, that could perhaps come off as a little cliche.
Andrei's regiment continues to get blown apart as they march forward (rather than standing pointlessly), with him saying "Nothing to do but endure." Pierre helps with some cannon and volunteers to get more charges. Handheld cam is used as he runs with a soldier through a trench and to a cart, and there is a great spinning camera shot when the cart gets hit by a cannon and throws him on the ground. The whole thing is not quite cinematic, but really effective television work. There is quite a bit of blood and violence and we see the man absolutely torn in half as Pierre crouches over him. This violence I think is really important to really drive home the point of the war scenes should make, and is surprising for a television show. Meanwhile, we hear constant screaming and Pierre comes back to say that the ammunition boxes were blown up. His encounter with the Frenchman is played awkwardly and quickly (see his more macho violent scene later) and we move to Napoleon turning down reinforcements in a scene that really emphasizes how I don't like the way they played Napoleon in the show. The acting of his character, and this is likely more the direction than the acting, may be the weakest in the show, and is certainly the weakest in the episode. A cynical person might think that this is why there isn't a huge focus on him in the show. With the scenes we get with the other characters, I want to see him even less and more Lily James. However, much of this is probably because of how hard it is to portray Napoleon, especially how he is portrayed in the novel, and the weight and high expectations playing his character comes from.
We get the dog that is laughed at right before the spinning bomb lands. We get increasingly closeup shots of Andrei and we again do not get inner monologuing, which may have the effect of making his indecision even more baffling. We cut immediately to the hospital. The cutting up of Anatole's leg is is extremely gory and his face is so bloody it is hard to tell who he is without knowing beforehand, so the show gives him a little dialogue. Much like the 2007 show, there is a moment where Bolkonsky and Anatole hold hands, but it is played much better here. We get some chanting as we cut to an exhausted Pierre, a close up more than any kind of scale gore shots, a technique that is used more effectively later, as we'll see. We then cut into Kutuzov and his generals with him arguing that they should retreat and abandon Moscow (which makes his motivation at the end of the last episode nonsensical. As you'll see, this scene is basically repeated later, and though there is definitely repeated scenes in the novel and the points around Kutuzov are drilled home almost to a sickening degree, Kutuzov, like Napoleon, seems to get in the way in this adaptation and the just half to quarter-way attempt to have the grand national narrative in the story seems a little superfluous instead of the way the narrative of the novel interconnects it). We cut immediately into rioting and start to follow Petya as he runs back into the Rostovs (we see the pigs again). He tells everyone they have to leave, but Ilya argues that everything is okay and they don't need to leave. This takes us to the packing and accepting soldiers scene, followed by a Natasha and Sonya scene, with them both believing they will die as maids, with Nikolai abandoning her and what has happened to Natasha. Natasha speaks about Pierre and then to take the prisoners with them, with Ilya and his wife having their discussion of it, Natasha standing up for herself and what she believes is right (Ilya doesn't waver the way he does in the novel and the countess doesn't have her change of heart). The countess seems to be even more negative, somehow, here. A lot of this may have to do with the decision to have her as an almost absent character in the first two episodes. 
Napoleon stands outside of Moscow and proclaims that he comes in peace and will bring them happiness. We really don't get his despair after Borodino, going for a more simplified version of his character development. There is a bit of emphasis on the chaos while the Rostovs leave Moscow. Pierre tells Natasha explicitly that he has to kill Napoleon (we don't get any of the Antichrist stuff here, so I think we are to assume that his war experiences color his thoughts here, which works with a more modern interpretation that will be tempted to insert PTSD in a novel that doesn't really deal with the issue or show the characters emotionally broken from their experiences).
Pierre finds a man in his house singing in French and that the French army has commandeered his house. This is Ramball, whom I am rather surprised exists in this version, who drinks with Pierre and tells him that Napoleon is in the city. Ramball gets to talk about women and tells the story of the Polish wife and that he is a romantic. Pierre tells him about his experience with love and how whom he really loves can never belong to him.
The Rostovs arrive at Mytishchi and discover that Prince Andrei is with them. They then watch Moscow burn in the distance, with Ilya getting the reaction that Tolstoy gives the lower-class people with Rostov in the book (a change that is sensible, as those characters are only introduced for that purpose).
Pierre has a moment where it is clear he is contemplating killing the sleeping Ramball and then we get some unfortunate CGI fire as Pierre walks through and encounters the woman (who is being confronted by French soldiers) with the little girl in the fire. We get the handheld shots like in the battle as he runs to save the child. Pierre tackles and punches French soldiers and says that he will fight them all before they grab him and take his knife. He screams rather painfully as they drag him away. This is followed by a quiet scene of Natasha and Sonya. Sonya tells her that Andrei is with them. Andrei and Natasha have their moment, and they ask each other for forgiveness before we switch to Nikolai, who arrives at Marya's and tells her that her brother is alive.
The countess gets a scene where she begs for the family to move on, while a broken (the dialogue, evidently not considering his acting to be enough, has her say explicitly that he is broken) Ilya can't make a decision, putting it on her. Ilya continues to watch the fires of Moscow in a state of confusion as military drums take us to the prisoners with Pierre. We watch, mostly over his shoulder, as they escort men to an already bloody wall and posts as the soldiers begin to shoot them. The distance here is created by not showing a lot of the violence, instead focusing mainly on Pierre and having the soldiers speak in untranslated French. We then get the rare voiceover with a nature montage of Andrei talking to Natasha, which turns into a scene of him telling her that he is happy and that he saw Anatole at the hospital, explicitly saying that he loves him and that he can't help being the way he is.
Rather than a prayer, Nikolai tries to write Sonya before the obvious Lavrushka stand in appears and gives him the letter from Sonya. Nikolai says, "Oh thank you God" out loud. We then get shots of a tear-filled Sonya outside, with shots of flowers, as the rest of the brief letter is read out loud.
We get another general meeting and Kutuzov preaches time and patience versus the aggressive Bennigsen. Kutuzov is a little more aggressive at shutting down the meeting, but appropriately looks tired.
Napoleon has a scene where he wonders why he did not get a battle, and says in almost tearful rage that he is disappointed. The setting looks a little strange, as he is clearly supposed to be in his headquarters in the Kremlin, but I think the backgrounds are CGI'd in and it appears a little cramped. There is a lot of focus on his breathing as well, which I can't really understand.
Ilya at this point appears to be suffering from dementia and has problems understanding what is going on. He even tries to get Marya to have tea rather than going to see Andrei. There is a nice long shot that avoids going to the immediate close up (and doesn't even follow initially) as Marya, Nikolushka, and Natasha walk into Andrei's room.
After their scene together, we get a last rites scene that is overpowered by piano music and shot with closeups to the different characters that I think does a good job to represent their differing sadnesses that is brought out in the book. We get a little montage of Andrei, with a couple nice double exposure shots and some nice music flourishes accompanying the piano. The actresses play the death scene very well and Natasha comments that he is already cold and the episode ends with a shot of his face and her asking "Where is he now?"

Thoughts on the 2016 BBC Version of War and Peace: Episode 6

After opening on a disconsolate Natasha and dollying out slowly away from her, we get a scene of Metivier (the subtitles name him and we never see his face nor get the scene of Nikolai Bolkonsky kicking him out, which would have happened in the last episode, if filmed) applying leeches to her. Unlike the book, which mainly focuses on the "poisonous" medicine, the modern focus is of course on the absurdity of the leeches. However, without getting the suicide attempt, this sickness has less of an effect, with only a short conversation between her parents showing her "spiritual" sickness. We go into her religious moments with a brief scene of her praying before we go to the War section, which opens with Napoleon crossing the border in the summer of 1812. The scale shots are really quite nice; I assume the soldiers are CGI in the overhead shots, but it gives off a large and powerful. Alexander appoints Boris to give Napoleon the message that no French soldier is to be on Russian soil (this is done in a room with a throne and no other decoration and we don't get the comical party scene). The music escalates as it transitions to Boris waiting in a tent, which is then transitioned into a slight wait before Napoleon comes in. Napoleon is much less ridiculous here, but not quite intimidating (whether that is intent or just the actor is unclear). There is a big deal made out of his ear pull. Rostov breaks the news of the French crossing the Nieman and we get introduced to the older Petya, who immediately wants to join the army (there is a comical scene where he is playing with a sword in the background, which comes off as trying to hard or being too much on the nose). Ilya decides it is best for him to join where he can just look the part. Andrei enters, confronts Bourienne and tells Marya (they do call her Masha) and says he will join the army. There is a conversation Nikolai Bolkonsky has, flirting with Bourienne, about trying to teach Marya algebra and geometry, how ladies are not meant to have higher education, and the people of God that Marya talks to (we never see them, so this there reference).
Andrei then censures his father over Bourienne and Nikolai Bolkonsky kicks him out, refuses to see him, and blames Marya. Marya and Andrei see each other off and Andrei makes his claim that forgiveness is a woman's virtue and that he wants to challenge Anatole. Natasha appears to be healed and her and Pierre have a conversation about her singing and how Pierre has done nothing with his life. His attempt to say that he loves Natasha but fails is played a little awkward and Dano's acting is not strong here, especially considering how it compares with his scene partner Lily James. He tells her straight out he thinks it is better not to see her so often. A confused Nikolai Bolkonsky sends Tikhon to the Governor of Smolensk and Marya realizes that the French are already there. We get a nice little scene of him realizing that he is mistaken and that he is losing his grip on things, but again, the series does not let him get ridiculous. Tikhon plays the Apatuitch role and walks the wrong way through the retreat and sees the already burning city (one suspects those scenes would have been expensive to film, so instead we get a person living outside the town burning a little shack). After angrily yelling at everyone and forcing Tikhon to put on his dress uniform, Nikolai Bolkonsky starts to ride his horse off and then falls off. Again, drama takes precedence over comedy in this scene. Andrei, after telling his soldiers he knows a place they can bathe, has a vision of innocent girls picking fruits while wandering alone. He goes to Bald Hills, realizes it is locked and that they are gone and we get a really nice wide shot that shows just how gigantic the place is. Despite, the first time we have seen Nikolai Rostov in what seems like forever, Nikolai, with the retreating soldiers, telling her that it would be better for her to go to Moscow rather than Bogucharovo, she goes there, prays and has a moment with her dying father. She tells Tikhon out loud that she prayed for her death but that he loved her. We get some arthouse-style shots of her outside weeping, with interesting editing and only the sound of wind (I'm really glad they didn't go with music there). After Bourienne makes a plea for them to stay for the French, Marya takes a strong stand and is told Dron and the peasants are waiting outside. She pleas with them to leave with her to Moscow, but they think the French will set them free. She is strong against them and appeals to authority. In these scenes she is very forceful and Nikolai does not really confront the peasants, instead the show cutting from them meeting to them leaving.
We go from there to Pavlovna and Vassily cynically discussing how rule would be under Napoleon. Bilibin tells Pavlovna straight out that Helene is "in a delicate condition and the child is not Bezukhov's". Helene, with her lover, claims that Pierre never consummated the marriage and that she wants to marry her lover. This brief couple of minutes are the only times we see any of these characters in the episode. Pierre plays a game of patience and discusses going to the war with Catiche and decides it is time to find out about war. Nikolai Rostov updates his family on his being in the reserves and his episode with Marya Bolkonsky, and there is a move-in to Sonya (who I don't think says a word in the episode) before she leaves the room. Nikolai has the conversation about the match with Princess Bolkonsky, but it is interrupted by cutting to Marya being called on by him.
Andrei goes back and sees a Kutuzov that seems even older than previously in the show, one of the few to have seemed to have aged other than Petya. His conversation is less emotional here and more anti-Napoleonic. He even claims, in a complete about face from the book, that he can't let the French get to Moscow and that he will stop them at Borodino. Pierre here is not leading a regiment, but getting bewildered looks, claims he is just seeing what is going on. He sees Kutuzov and some soldiers kneeling as the icons pass, gets off his horse and removes his hat. Dolokhov comes and begs for forgiveness and kisses him before running off before Pierre can say anything. Pierre finds Andrei, who wants him to go while he has a chance. Andrei is very brusk and then it cuts to them at night discussing the battle and how, again, Pierre should leave. Pierre speaks about Natasha, but Andrei reminds him that he promised to never speak of it. He talks about the girls picking the plums and tells the story of the old man in the forest that Natasha told him and the animal of Kuragin. He cuts off the conversation and says that it is time for sleep. Napoleon gives his bulletin, which is delivered, at least in part, by an officer with a pretty bad French accent. This is the end of the episode, with the actual Battle of Borodino, much like the book, being something that happens after a cliffhanger (and in the book, expository chapters about its meaning and the plans both sides had for it).

Thoughts on the 2016 BBC Version of War and Peace: Episode 5

We start the episode with Andrei not coming back, sending a letter to Natasha that he has to stay while his wound heals, with the Rostov parents comforting a crying Natasha. The two Andrei letters serve somewhat as a bookends for the episode, especially since the entire episodes hinges on the Andrei/Natasha plot line, without any "War" distractions.
We get perhaps the most negative portrayal of Nikolai Bolkonsky yet, with him yelling at his daughter and then playing up to Bourienne, with Marya's confrontation of her happening here. This is followed by Boris and his mother going to a party thrown by Nikolai and his introducing himself to her and that conversation. Rostopchin is introduced, but does nothing, even less than at this point in the novel, and we get the dinner conversation of Nikolai Bolkonsky arguing that they should focus on securing their border and not meddle in French affairs, which leads into Pierre and Marya talking about Boris and then Natasha. I like the way Paul Dano plays that scene.
Boris and his mother have a conversation about Marya and how she is "mentally deficient". Boris is the one who talks about the tragic life and Julie rather than Pierre, which allows Dano to play it a little more sincere. We then get the cynical scene of the Boris and Julie. I don't think Julie has been introduced, and I think it is a strange choice to have this scene here and that the focus on Boris is so prevalent. The Julie is rather sincere and unhappy and she only has a couple more scenes in the book, so it will be interesting to see what they do with not only her character, but Boris as well, since he drops off as the novel revs up to its climax.
The following scene is handheld for some reason, the conversation about Boris and Julie, with Natasha and the Rostovs learning the news. It is thrown away by Natasha pretty easily, but the scene sets up the Rostov meeting at the Bolkonskys. Ilya explicitly says that he is frightened by Nikolai Bolkonsky. He gets a lot of time on the screen in this episode and we start to really see how they build his character in the show.
The following scene, which is a conversation between Natasha and Sonya, with Ilya coming in and saying everyone loves Natasha, has a lingering shot on Sonya. Her whole purpose in the episode is really to just listen to Natasha, but she gets a moment later on by saying she knows what it is like to be torn apart by love, and since she is the one that has to stop Natasha, there is a significance to this shot that we feel later on.
They overhear Nikolai Bolkonsky saying he doesn't want to see them. Bourienne appears very chipper and false, while Marya is extremely awkward and silent. Before Ilya leaves, Nikolai Bolkonsky comes in his pajamas and speaks very loudly and claims he didn't know anything, giving the scene a very different tone than it has in the book, as Marya is much kinder, and the embarrassment is much less based on gender and more about Nikolai's obvious contempt for the Rostovs (he is less strange and hard to understand than he is in the book), and Marya trying to speak to Natasha before she leaves is played very weirdly. Natasha seems a little like the aggressor here, but the next scene is of her crying to Sonya about how the family treated her and how cold Marya was, but again, it doesn't seem that Marya played it that way.
The next scene is Boris wanting to be a Freemason and Helene supporting him against a skeptical Pierre. Pierre drinks alone as Bazdeev gives him narration about whether he is doing the right thing and if he is content with himself, this is interspliced with Boris being initiated, as well as a shot of him sleeping with Helene. Boris's false freemasonry is really only mentioned in passing in the book and continues the theme of the beefing up of Boris's character in the show.
Natasha's mom, sick but present, is the one that encourages Natasha to go to the opera. Again, there is a focus on Boris in a couple of shots. We get the reintroduction of Dolokhov and Anatole, as well as Bilibin and Helene. During the opera, which is basically played in the background and without any real satire, Helene and Natasha have a conversation (their first I believe in this adaptation) about being friends and "trying things on together". Anatole comes in the box and has a conversation with her as well and invites her to a party the following day. The opera fades out and we get score music to show us how serious it is. Anatole speaks French, there is an emphasis on Natasha's breath and has some serious close ups of her.
The next real scene is the invitation by Helene to the Mademoiselle Georges (I'm surprised that this reference, as well as the Duport one, is retained) party. During the Georges recital (it seems more like a spoken French poem than a song), there is a long tracking shot into Natasha's face as Anatole attempts to hold her hand. Natasha at first rejects Anatole and then Helene brings him in a closet with her, and in this adaptation, there is a focus on the "wooing" and its creepy/forceful vibes, and the two kiss and Anatole says they have to be together and tries to force her to say yes.
The conversation between Anatole and Dolokhov about his previous marriage is a little forced and contains the information about Pierre knowing about the marriage as well. I like the acting and (I think this plays a lot into it) the dialogue of Sonya better than Natasha in the scene where the two confront each other over Anatole. This is immediately followed by, with no transition, putting the two scenes together, Marya coming, in which Natasha tells her she is rejecting Andrei.
Anatole actually enters the house before realizing he is betrayed and confronted and the episode plays out much more like an action scene, with a follow shot in a hall like Anatole is about to enter a boxing ring. Here, Countess Rostova plays the role of Marya Dmitrievna Akhrosimova in the novel. The mention of Pierre cuts to Pierre finding Anatole and threatening to kill him. Dano doesn't, most likely because of his lack of size, play the intimidation of the character quite the way it needs to be, making the lingering on the frightened Anatole much less believable. Pierre's revealing to Natasha about Anatole's wife in Poland is much more forceful here than accidental and awkward like it is in the novel. He only really softens when Natasha breaks down and cries.
Andrei comes back happy and the show plays up the dramatic irony of his situation and allows Marya to prepare to break the news to him (we cut away before it happens). Notably, the show skips the suicide attempt and the episode ends with Pierre telling Natasha that if he was a free man he would go down on his knees at this moment (he is sort of his knees in the shot).

Three Notable Characters Who Appear in Just One Chapter

One of the aspects of War and Peace that I find most interesting and that I have spent time and effort on this blog is the plethora of characters in the novel. The novel contains many characters that are well-developed or span many chapters of the novel, but it also contains many characters that have small arcs or are in just one section of the novel. There are also several characters who appear in a singular chapter of the novel, never to appear again. In this post, I wanted to look at three interesting characters that appear in just one chapter, thus not deserving of a post in themselves, but still worth commenting on.

Lieutenant Telyanin: Chapter 30. Mentioned: Chapters 31, 34, 46, and 98.

Telyanin is different from the other two on this list because he looms over a thread of the plot and in the Bromfield translation actually appears later in the book at Nikolai Bolkonsky's funeral. In the final version of the novel, his character appears for the final time by being the one that gets Denisov in trouble as the latter stole food and goods for his men, serving as the punctuation on the treacherous nature of Telyanin's character. However, the principal episode involving Telyanin, the only chapter he actually appears in, which serves as the first mention of his character as well, is Book 1 Part 2 Chapter 4. He is described as "small" and "For some reason...had been transferred from the guards just before the regiment had marched off" (quotes here are from the Briggs translation). Whether this is because "no one liked him" or because (even though"He had behaved well enough") there had been a dishonest incident before is unclear. Nikolai Rostov in particular dislikes him strongly, at least partly because has has sold him a horse that appears to be injured or at least have a limp. Perhaps most importantly in the way his character is set up by Tolstoy, Telyanin doesn't look people in the eye, instead looking all around him, a classic sign of dishonesty. The characters even step out of the room and discuss how much they dislike him while Telyanin sits and rubs his hands together. Telyanin teaches Rostov how to shoe a horse, though this seems to be an excuse in order to distract him to take his money, which is the biggest part of Telyanin's "arc" in how it demonstrates Nikolai's character as righteous in principle, though not concerned about the money itself. When Nikolai confronts Telyanin, he is, probably meaningfully, eating sausage, the German food, and drinking wine, which Tolstoy would progressively thumb his nose at. He initially talks about how he is planning on spending the money, but when confronted, his "words sounded pathetic, almost desperate, a plea for forgiveness." He is terrified and and his cries "were pitiful". He gives an excuse of an old father and that he is young and doesn't want to be ruined. Telyanin is somewhat the anti-Boris, in that he gets caught being immoral (Boris doesn't get caught, though he doesn't seem to stoop to petty stealing, which, as a class and honor thing, has a whole different meaning) and when he does, he breaks down and becomes pathetic, which Boris never does because he never reveals his inner self.

Marya Nikolayevna: Chapter 259. Mentioned: Chapter 260

In one of the starker scenes of the book, Book 3 Part 3 Chapter 33 has Pierre walking around a burning Moscow, looking for Napoleon, who he believes is the Anti-Christ, in order to kill him. As he does this, he sees a "skinny woman, no youngster, with long, protruding upper teeth, wearing a black cloak and cap." With her family in tow, she throws herself at Pierre and begs him to help her get her youngest daughter, who is caught in a fire. As her husband tries to console her, she screams at him and calls him a "monster" and "villain". Her whole disposition changes when Pierre agrees to help, but when she is angry, her "long teeth stuck out even more." This is the only time we see her in the novel, as she is not there when Pierre comes back with the child. Clearly, the character serves to further the plot and helps Pierre not only completely change his focus and goal, but plays into the narrative thread that leads to Pierre being captured by the French, as this moment of helping others leads to him intervening in another episode. Her defining characteristics as they exist in themselves are her teeth, which is something mentioned in a few characters (a lot of emphasis is put on Nikolai Bolkonsky's missing tooth), and the way she screams at the people around her, only to change to kind when begging Pierre.

Bagovut: Chapter 282

Unlike the previous two characters, Bagovut is a real life character. When searching for him on the internet, you will have the most likely have success by searching "Karl Fedorovich Baggovut". He gained his fame in 1794 fighting Poles, then participated in Friedland, which is discussed in War and Peace, and then was successful in the war against Sweden, which is really only mentioned by Napoleon in his discussion with Balashov. Just as in the novel, he was killed by one of the first French shots in the battle of Tarutino. Emperor Alexander wrote after his death that he was a "brave" and "useful" commander. In the novel, he only appears at the end of Book 4 Part 2 Chapter 6. Before we are introduced to him, we are told that the Cossacks can't stop plundering rather than accomplishing the goal of defeating the French and that the Russian command is in complete disarray. We are introduced to Bagovut's corps before we are introduced to him, with Toll chasing after him to tell him that his troops should be elsewhere (a running theme throughout the novel, with soldiers never quite being where they are supposed to be). Bagovut is introduced as a "phlegmatic military man of the old school" ("a fighting old soldier of placid temperament" in Maude, which is, surprisingly, a more readable translation here) and frustrated by all the "chaos and contradictory orders". Unlike Bagration and Kutuzov, who in chaos thrive by allowing the chaos to happen without trying to control, Bagovut plays into a mostly forgotten but comedic scene: "the valiant Bagovut was too worked up to wonder whether or not his sortie with a single division was likely to do any good at this point in the action." Again, playing him as the anti-Kutuzov, who values "patience and time" beyond anything, Bagovut charges straight into the battle and dies, "serving no purpose." This is where Tolstoy's satirical interpretation of Russian history has real staying power. This is a general that the tsar calls valuable, but the most famous depiction of the Napoleonic invasion, especially from the Russian side, has him in just one scene, where he instantly dies because he is unable to restrain himself. While on a small scale, this is how "historical fiction" and most specifically Tolstoy's writings, can take a person that is considered "heroic" and completely take them down. This is something that Tolstoy continually does throughout the novel, taking down characters like Napoleon, Rostopchin, Murat, Arakcheev, and the Emperor of Austria. Bagovut serves a small example of this, a Russian hero depicted as behaving in an irrational way that holds him up to ridicule.

Chapters 33-36 of Resurrection: Nekhlyudov's Non-Participation

Chapter 33: We go back to Nekhlyudov who receives the letter he wanted, which frees him from the wife he was having an affair with. This plot line is not only reminiscent of the Sonya freeing Nikolai plot towards the end of War and Peace, but it is also treated in such a rushed and dismissive way that the plot line plays out the same way, with the character being important only until the moment they are inconvenient to the plot and the character's development. Here, the character hasn't even appeared in the novel but serves as a backdrop to Nekhlyudov's character development so far, showing his immorality and uncertainty earlier in the novel and at this point showing his certainty and resolve through his break with her. He resolves to go to the prison and marry Katusha and gives up his apartments, decides to give the peasants their land, and is no longer disgusted by the people around him. Just as Pierre, in his strongest moments (contrary to his weakest moments, when he is fundamentally paralyzed by uncertainty) is absolutely certain about what he needs to do and does not have to overthink his decisions, Nekhlyudov's moral development is highlighted by his ability to make decisions and stick to them. This really allows us to think about how Tolstoy sees the relationship between moral development and certainty/resolve. Immoral people in Tolstoy's fiction often act mechanically (the famous early analogy in War and Peace of Vasily being like an actor in an old play is rather indicative) and motivated by forces they aren't even aware of, acting without reflection, but purely on instinct, like an animal. People with what we might call "moral potential" act in ways that are uncertain, cloudy, or don't act at all. The line between impulsive action (such as Nekhlyudov's rape and Natasha's relationship with Anatole) and seemingly thoughtless moral/political/household action (such as Andrei being able to put together his affairs and make decisions in ways that Pierre will only be able to at the end of the novel) is the instinctive impulsive nature of immoral action, similar to how an animal might act. The interplay between passivity and aggressiveness plays a key role, as aggressiveness is almost always wrong (see Napoleon) and patience and acceptance of circumstances is almost always correct (see Kutuzov and Bagration), but being forced into decisions (such as Pierre's marriage to Helene) or finding yourself in debates about what one should do (see the endless debates of military strategy in War and Peace) shows a moral weakness. Moral action is somewhat of a non-action, in that it is selfless, does not "gain", and is not done on instinct/impulse, but neither is it done by "rationality" or by debate. This somewhat frustrating framing colors his political and religious arguments as well, as instinct nor rationality serve as the guide.

Nekhlyudov also has a sister named Natasha, which is of course interesting, but may not mean anything. The more important idea is the focus at the end of the chapter on Nekhlyudov's newfound attitude.

"when he pictured himself seeing her and telling her everything, confessing his guilt to her, telling her he would do everything in his power to atone for it by marrying her, an extraordinary feeling of elation seized him, and tears came into his eyes."

I think there are two ways to look at this: the first being the most obvious and what we've discussed before with his discussion with the advocate; Nekhlyudov hasn't actually done anything yet to help Maslova, and yet he feels a change inside of him, which seems like an extremely cynical disposition to have. The alternative is to view the change and his attitude as authentic and the motivation of his actions from here on out being without an ulterior motive. 

Chapter 34: Nekhlyudov goes back to the courtroom to try to speak to Maslova. He sees the characters he served on the jury with and has a much more positive reaction to them, which further demonstrates the way his character has changed. He is supposed to be part of a trial that includes a young man that used a now deceased locksmith to commit a robbery. Part of the seemingly unnecessarily complicated setup here is to show that the main culprit of the crime is already dead and the trial itself is rather pointless in a search for justice if justice could be found in the courtroom. The policeman used as a witness is described as "in spite of the fact that he had been drilled into stupidity and had become a mere machine he was clearly sorry for the lad and reluctant to testify about his arrest." Just like Maslova's courtroom scene, Tolstoy here makes the defendant the victim of a system that people are reticent to prop up. 
The accused confesses and is described as a trapped animal and Tolstoy puts emphasis on the soldiers ("gendarmes") with their swords surrounding him, as if he is dangerous. We get this character's backstory and Nekhlyudov inner monologues: "but aren't we dangerous?...I am a rake, a fornicator, a liar...It's quite obvious that this lad is no extraordinary villain...he became what he is simply because he found himself in circumstances which create such people. And so it seems obvious that if we don't want lads like this we must try to wipe out the conditions that produce such unfortunate individuals...knowing quite well that a thousand others remain at liberty, and shut him up in prison, in conditions of complete idleness or work of the most unhealthy, senseless kind, in company with fellow beings like himself, debilitated and confused by life, and then deport him at public expense...we actually encourage the institutions which produce them....we encourage and regulate them."....Nekhlyudov went on thinking to himself as he looked round the huge court-room...not only here but throughout Russia, who received salaries for performing this farce that nobody needed."
I put that entire quote in there because I think it is extremely important in understanding the thematic material of not only the book itself, but all of Tolstoy's (especially later) political thought in general. With the traditional Christian understanding, based primarily on an apocryphal story tacked onto the Gospel of John, that the one without sin has to be the one that casts the first stone (or more probably, the "judge not" passage from the Sermon on the Mount), a system of judgment and class is inherently based on hypocrisy. Nekhlyudov has come to realize his own sins and his own failings as a person through his reintroduction to Maslova and his previous crimes, and through this, he realizes it is inappropriate for him to stand in a position where he judges other people and sentences them for their crimes. Nekhlyudov also understands the traditional liberal/leftist critique of the court system beyond Tolstoy's religious critique, that criminality is not caused by people that are exceptionally bad, but by the circumstances that people find themselves surrounded in. This, of course, is fundamentally intertwined with Tolstoy's beliefs about history and free will. If people are entirely free and responsible for their actions, like the Existentialists and conservatives claim, then the court system makes perfect sense, but if, like Tolstoy claims, people are products of their environment and their free will is limited by the choices they have available to them and the way their personalities are shaped, then the entire court system is a sham that has no basis in reality. And this is the central political and social thrust of the novel. Not only is the system immoral and misguided, but it is ineffective, since there are thousands, millions, and perhaps billions, of people that are in the same circumstances and the court system does not change these circumstances, wasting the money of the government and in turn, the taxpayer. 

Chapter 35: Nekhlyudov decides that he will not take part in the trial and tries to get permission to see Maslova. He tells this to the prosecutor, who then talks to a member of the Court and says "There's something abnormal about young people these days...He carries the day by wearing one out: talks and talks, there's no end to it." Just as in War and Peace, particularly in the Speransky scenes, the disconnect between the generations and the reformation of political structures is in the forefront, as the older generations cannot possibly imagine the political structures as being any different than it currently is. This lack of imagination is, for Tolstoy, the key barrier to why change does not happen and why humanity cannot unshackle itself from its institutions. The member of the court ends the chapter by saying "People of that kind should simply be stopped; otherwise they become real obstructionists". Nekhlyudov rejects participation, rather than throwing himself onto the gears and completely blocking the trial. There is no speech or protest that tries to bring down the court system; he does not "sit-in", nor does he make any "active" action that stops the trial. He simply does not participate and for the court system, and the political system in general, this is "obstructionism" because those systems rely on active participation. This is the non-resistance of Tolstoy defined. The system, whether it be court, military, or political, needs participation in order to function, and without it, it can no longer live and change can truly happen. 

Chapter 36: Nekhlyudov continues to get shifted around from place to place and is unable to see Maslova. This administrative shuffling is a scene that has appeared quite a bit in popular media and serves to show the bureaucratic nightmare of the political system. It is also reminiscent of the Balashov plot thread in War and Peace where he attempts to talk to Napoleon. One scene has a pianist playing a song "everyone was already tired of" the entire time in a touch of background comedy. On a more serious note, the prisons that criminals like Maslova are overcrowded. 
"The public prosecutor had forgotten that six months previously some political incident had been exaggerated to the utmost limits by the gendarmery, with the result, it would seem, that all the preliminary detention centres had been swamped by students, doctors, labourers, girl-students and doctors' assistants."
Exaggerated political events, like the Dreyfus Affair, the murder of Vereshchagin, or basically anything Napoleon does, serve as instructive and definitive for Tolstoy. Like the strange opera that no one understands, but pretends to and does not question, governmental action, no matter how absurd, is used to further power and sow division (it is no accident that Rostopchin's placards and speeches are so divisive and nationalistic). It also sweeps a whole generation of, again, younger people, under the rug and out of the way, ruining lives, just as the court system ruins Maslova's lives and others, and preserving the system.

"the governor'll give it to you" in Garnett and "uncle will give it to us hot" in Maude and Mandelker. "he's the boss and he can dish it out" in Briggs. "Sila Andreich" and "We'll catch it from the uncle" in Wiener.)
