Terrible

Those who have been around me in the last week or so have more than likely heard me express my wishes that Anna Karenina would just commit suicide and get the drama over so that I can have peace from the ridiculous building drama and get the book over with.
What a terrible moment, though, 49 pages till the end of the book when Anna throws herself under a train and that's it. That's it! We read once a few pages later that her lover, Vronsky, went nearly insane with grief and misery and had to be all but put in a padded room away from sharp object for a few weeks, but nothing of anyone else's feelings. Her brother, it said, had within a few weeks forgotten his grief. A slight mention was made in passing that her husband had been present at the funeral. Nothing else. No glimpses into the thoughts of Vronsky, the husband, or any of the friends. Nothing. Not even any of the society rumors. Yes I wanted the drama to be over, but I didn't want her to be forgotten! For goodness sake. How frightfully unjust. Granted, the story continues with the search for meaning in life that another character has sought after basically the whole novel, and that is resolved. But... Anna gets nothin.
Whooo.
Maybe Tolstoy had finally gotten sick of her and her obsessive drama.
I suppose after 4 years of writing I would have, too.
But-
Perhaps Tolstoy had grown to love her so much that he created the only true ending for Anna. She not only wanted revenge on Vronsky, but on everyone. This complete and abrupt -almost lacking- ending is true revenge, leaving every reader forever miserable with her fate.

"...it seemed so easy and simple to her that she again began to enjoy thinking how he would suffer, repent, and love her memory when it was too late. (751)"
