They appear more sensitive, and their inner tensions and anxieties reflect the uncertainty and instability of life as a whole.

Tolstoy's concern with the problems raised and addressed in the novel led him into a new ideological crisis in the late 1870s, and his support for the patriarchal peasant perspective also became endangered.
