§ 208. The next step is to learn the age of the patient, his mode of life, regimen, occupation, domestic situation, social connections, etc. He is to examine whether these various circum-stances contribute to the disease, and to what extent they may be favorable or unfavorable to the treatment. He must assess the cure in like fashion, and whether the patient’s state of mind is any obstacle to the cure, and whether it is necessary to modify or direct it.
§ 209. It is not till after repeated enquiries of this nature that the physician should endeavor to trace out, according to the directions already given, as perfect an image of the disease as possible, to enable him to distinguish the most prominent and characteristic of the symptoms by which he is to choose the first anti-psorie or other remedy, at the commencement of the treatment, observing, as a guide, the greatest possible analogy with the symptoms, etc.
Samuel
Hahnemann
Organon of Homoeopathic Medicine
1836
Natasha’s illness was so serious that, fortu-nately for her and her parents, all of what had caused it – her conduct and the breaking off of her engagement – faded into the background. It was impossible for them to consider how much that was to blame for what had happened while she was so ill that she could not eat or sleep, was growing visibly thinner, coughing, and, as the doctors gave them to understand, was in danger. They could think of nothing but how to make her well again. Doctors came to see her singly and in consultations, talked a great deal in French, German, and Latin, criticized one another, and prescribed the most diverse reme-dies applicable to every disease known to them. However, the very simple idea that they could not know what Natasha was suffering from, as no illness afflicting any living person can ever be known, never occurred to any of them. Each living being has its own peculiarities, and what-ever his ailment, it is always peculiar to itself, a new, complex malady unknown to medicine – not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, and so on, as described in medical books, but a disease consisting of one of the innumerable combinations of disorders of these organs.
Leo Tolstoy
The present commentary was conceived as an attempt to ‘homeopathically’ comprehend two world famous literary fe-male characters, the two pearls of world literature.
The first is Natasha Rostova, from Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. The second is Carmen from the novel of that title, by Prosper Merimee.
Natasha is one of the most charming and captivating images ever created in world literature. This image – so vivacious, complicated, versatile and attractive – has always been perceived by the author as an image of a real woman, with her life passing right in front of his eyes.
Natasha, with her amazing ability to love and to live by loving;
- with her thirst for full-blooded life ‘right here, right now;’
- with her inner light which shines and warms up everybody who is around her;
- with her perfect sensation of freedom and at the same time her strive to always live honestly;
- with her unaccountable yet unmistakable confidence in her feelings, deeds and reactions;
- with easiness and carelessness along with profound sincerity and serious self-esteem;
- with depth and power of her sufferings, and yet her fortunate ability to ‘simply live’ to enjoy this life and to make others enjoy it;
- with healthy selfishness along with a need to love, to serve and to sacrifice – this Natasha touched every reader’s soul by complicity and at the same time harmony of her nature.
Having been one of Natasha’s most rapturous fans for many years, the author has been interested in the image just as strongly from a professional point of view.
Natasha Rostova’s image can be called “homeopathic’ in the sense that her emotions, reactions, desires, and attitude in different situations, correspond to a pathogenesis of certain homeopathic remedies. In other words, pathogenesis of many homeopathic remedies contain symptoms, con-curring with description of psychophysical states of Natasha’s being.
This is not to say that the images of Pierre, Count Andrej and others, created by Tolstoy, who precisely described subtle shades of the human soul, are less ‘homeopathic’. However, since the author loves Natasha and conceives of her as a vivacious and lively personality, he dares as a homeopath to recommend this very image to the reader.
Having decided to write this commentary, the author has set himself a goal – to select a homeopathic remedy, corresponding to Natasha Rostova’s constitutional type, as if she were a live woman in need of a doctor’s consultation under real life circumstances.
After long reflection, the author has decided that it is impossible to narrate certain episodes of Natasha’s life, given by Tolstoy, in his own words. In the author’s opinion, any narration may only distort this image, created with such profound feeling and understanding of Natasha’s nature.
The author has started this work hoping to fulfill this goal and by that – to help other homeopaths to more deeply understand people’s sufferings in our far-from-perfect world; for it is certain that a doctor can ease human suffering, both physical and spiritual by better under-standing the patient. Fortunately, homeopathy gives us such possibility.
An attempt was made to ‘prescribe’ certain homeopathic remedies coinciding with all of Natasha’s characteristics described by Tolstoy. These characteristics include both Natasha’s psychological peculiarities and her habitat, which largely determine predisposition to certain reactions, conditions, and illnesses. As a result, the author has tried to paint her ‘homeopathic’ portrait.
The author tried to give homeopathic explanations for all of Natasha’s psychological states of being without changing the chronological order of their description in the novel. This may help the curious reader, and ease his task to locate certain characteristics described in the novel.
It is interesting to notice that Tolstoy gave Natasha those very special and ‘strange’ features, which were valued so highly by Hahnemann while choosing a constitutional remedy for a patient. He thought these special, strange characteristic features to be the very ‘key’ which opens a patient’s constitutional portrait to a homeopath.
The author selected 390 descriptions of Natasha from the novel, which thoroughly recreate her constitutional portrait. Having selected several possible remedies coinciding with each given psychophysical sympton, the author eventually received an opportunity to determine the main remedy, corresponding to the description of Natasha Rostova. This remedy is Ignatia amara.
Carmen is perhaps the most fascinating literary female image ever. Carmen became a household name; there is even a monument to her installed in Seville. A free-spirited, self-assured gypsy, passionate and conniving, tender and cruel, she is still living her own bright and tragic fate.
Comparing the constitutional types of Natasha and Carmen, it is interesting to note that they lived in approximately the same historical period. In War and Peace Natasha lives part of her life from 1805 till 1820. The heroin of Carmen lives in 1830.
Besides, both Russia and Spain displayed certain historical analogies in the beginning of the 19th century, since Napoleon’s army was defeated in 1812 in Russia, and within 1808-1814 in Spain. Thus, both heroines lived in the same epoch, although their surroundings, statuses and backgrounds are completely different.
In Marilee’s novel, Carmen lives only through several months of her life. Besides, throughout this period she lives to an extreme: she wounds a vendor with a knife, and the novel culminates with her own death from Don Jose’s knife. Still, we have an opportunity to imagine Carmen’s previous life and constitutional peculiarities according to her behavior and actions during this brief period.
The author selected 146 episodes from the novel, charac-terizing the heroine’s constitutional portrait. A combination of these episodes vividly describes the character of Carmen.
Her defining quality is love of freedom, which naturally goes with treachery, insidiousness, criminal inclinations, brutality and malice.
Carmen despises people whose lifestyles are drastically different from her own. She easily manipulates and uses people, and her threats are veiled. She is quick to make others suffer. Carmen does not really give value to human life and does not consider death, whether the other’s or her own. Note that she always lives with premonition of death. Simultaneously, she is a very rigid and cruel woman, capable of love, tenderness and even loyalty to a loved one. She cares for the wounded Jose “with such adroitness and attention, like no other woman would take care of her loved one”.
Carmen is playful, moody, spontaneous (“with this woman you never get bored”), loves dancing, laughing, fun and parties. With that, even in the middle of fun and debauch, she can develop her short temper and unbalanced state, bordering with hysteria. Her free will resurfaces in everything she does. Her slogan is “I do whatever I want. I don’t want to be ordered”. Her disposition to lies and deceit is natural in her as her love to freedom (“She lied, she always lied!”)
In the author’s opinion, all Carmen’s constitutional charac-teristics described above are in pathogenesis of Ignatia amara.
Despite the striking differences in constitutional characteristics of Natasha Rostova and Carmen, both of them tend to be clear representatives of Ignatia amara.

"All right, I’ll tell you now. You know that Sonya is my dearest friend—such a friend that I burned my arm for her sake. I'll show you."
She pushed up the muslin sleeve on her long, slender, delicate arm, and showed him a red mark high above the elbow, near the shoulder (in a place where it would be covered even in a ball gown).
"I did that to prove my love. I just heated a ruler in the fire and pressed it there."

Sonya ran away, but Natasha, taking her brother's arm, led him to the sitting room, where they began talking. They scarcely gave each other time to ask and answer all the questions concerning the thousands of trifling matters that were of interest to them alone. Natasha laughed at everything either of them said, not because what they were saying was amusing, but because she was in such high spirits she could not contain her joy, which brimmed over in laughter.
"Oh, how nice, how splendid!" she said to everything.

"Well, that's how she loves me... and you."
Suddenly Natasha blushed.
"Well, you remember before you went away... Well, she says you are to forget all that... She says: 'I shall love him always, but let him be free.' That's really splendid—splendid and noble! Isn't it? Very noble—isn't it?" asked Natasha, so seriously and with such emotion that it was evident that what she was now saying she had talked of before with tears.

Rostov grew thoughtful. "I never go back on my word," he said. "And besides, Sonya is so charming that only a fool would renounce such happiness."
"Of course!" cried Natasha. "She and I have talked it over. We knew you would say that. But it won't do, because, don't you see, if you say that—if you consider yourself bound by your word, it would look as if she had said that on purpose. It would be just as though you were obliged to marry her, and that makes it absolutely wrong!"

"Me?" repeated Natasha, and a happy smile lit up her face. "Have you seen Duport—the famous dancer?... Then you won't understand."
Curving her arms, Natasha held out her skirt as dancers do, ran back a few steps, turned, and whipping her little feet together executed an entrechat, then took a few steps on the very tips of her toes.
"See how I'm standing? Look!" But she could not stay up on her toes. "That's what I'm interested in now! I'm never going to marry anyone—I'm going to be a dancer. Only don't tell anyone."
And Natasha rose and
glided out of the room on tiptoe
like a ballet dancer, but smiling as only a happy girl of fifteen can
smile.
p. 369
Natasha divined what he was going to do, abandoned herself to him and, scarcely knowing how, followed his lead. First he spun her around by the right hand, then by the left, fell on one knee, twirled her around him, and again springing up dashed forward so impetuously that it seemed as if be would race through all the rooms without taking a breath, then he suddenly stopped and again performed some new and un-expected step. After dexterously spinning his partner around in front of her chair, he bowed to her with a click of the heels. Natasha did not even make him a curtsey. She gazed at him in bewilderment, smiling as if not recognizing him.
"What was that?" she gasped.

Among the young men introduced by Rostov, one of the first was Dolokhov,
who was liked by everyone in the house except Natasha. She almost quarreled
with her brother about him. She insisted that be was a bad man, that in the
duel with Bezukhov Pierre was right and Dolokhov wrong, and that he was
disagreeable and unnatural.
"There's nothing for me to understand!" she cried with self-willed obstinacy. "He's wicked and heartless. Now, you know I like your Denisov, though he is a rake and all that, still I like him, so you see I do understand. I don't know how to put it... with him everything is calculated, and I don't like that.

Natasha, no less proud of her first long dress and of being at a real ball, was even happier. Both girls wore white muslin dresses with pink ribbons.
Natasha felt in love the very moment she entered the ballroom. She was not in love with anyone in particular, but in love with everyone. Whomever she happened to look at she was in love with for the moment
"Oh, how lovely it is!" she kept running up to Sonya and saying.

Natasha took the first note, her throat swelled, her chest rose, and her eyes took on a serious expression. At that mo-ment she was oblivious of everyone and everything, and from her smiling lips flowed sounds that anyone may produce at the same intervals and hold for the same length of time, but leave you cold a thousand times, and the thousand and first, thrill you and make you weep.
That winter for the first time Natasha had begun to take her singing seriously, mainly because Denisov was so enthu-siastic over her voice. She no longer sang like a child, there was no longer that droll, childish, painstaking effect that had been apparent before; she did not yet sing well, as the con-noisseurs who heard her said. "It's not a trained voice," they all said, "but it's a beautiful voice, and must be trained." This was generally said, however, some time after she had finished singing. While they were listening to that untrained voice with its incorrect breathing and labored transitions, even the connoisseurs said nothing, and only delighted in it and wished to hear it again. Her voice had a virginal purity, an uncon-sciousness of its own power, and an uncultivated yet velvety quality that was so much a part of her lack of artistry in singing that it seemed as if nothing in that voice could be changed without spoiling it.
And how that chord had vibrated, how something that was best in Rostov's soul had been moved! And this some-thing was apart from everything else in the world, and above everything in the world.

"Vasily Dmitrich, I'm so sorry for you!.. No, but you're so nice... but

... "Countess..." began Denisov, with downcast
eyes and a guilty face; he tried to say something more, but faltered.
Natasha could not see him in such a plight and remain calm. She began to sob loudly.

Prince Andrei got up and went to the window. As soon as he opened the shutters the moonlight, as if it had been watchfully waiting for this, burst into the room. He threw open the casement. The night was cool, bright, and still. Just outside the window was a row of pollarded trees, black on one side and silvery bright on the other. Under the trees grew some sort of lush, moist, bushy vegetation, the leaves and stems touched here and there with silver. Farther away, beyond the dark trees, a roof glistened with dew; to the right stood a great leafy tree, its trunk and branches gleaming white, and above it shone the moon, almost full, in a pale, almost starless spring sky.

"I'm not going to sleep—I can't… so what shall I do? Come, this will be the last time…"
Two girlish voices sang a phrase, the end of some song.
"Oh, how lovely! Now let's say good night and go to sleep."
"You go to sleep, I can't," said the first voice, coming nearer to the window.
She was evidently leaning out the window, for he could hear the rustle of her dress and even her breathing. All was hushed and stone-still—like the moon and its light and the shadows.

"Sonya! Sonya!" the first voice was heard again. "How can you sleep? Just see how lovely it is! Oh, so lovely! Do wake up, Sonya!" she said almost tearfully. "There never, never was such an exquisite night before!"
Sonya made some reluctant reply.
"Do come and see what a moon!.. Ah, how lovely! Come here! Dearest, darling, do come here. There, you see? I could just squat down on my heels… like this... and put my arms around my knees, tight, as tight can be… and fly away! Like this—"
All was silent once more, but Prince Andrei knew she was still sitting there. From time to time he heard a soft rustle or a sigh.
"Oh, Lord! Oh, Lord! What does it all mean?" she sud-denly exclaimed. "To bed, then, if I must!" And she slammed the window shut.

Natasha was sixteen and it was the year 1809, the very year to which she had counted on her fingers with Boris after they had kissed four years ago. If he happened to be mentioned when she was with Sonya or her mother, she would speak quite freely of all that had gone before as of some childish nonsense not worth talking about and long forgotten. But in the secret depths of her soul the question whether her engagement to him was a jest or a solemn, binding promise tormented her.

Boris remembered Natasha as the little girl he had known four years before in a short dress, with flashing black eyes under her curls, and a hilarious, childish laugh; he was confused when a quite different Natasha appeared, and his sur-prise and admiration were apparent. Thå expression on his face delighted Natasha.
"How pretty you have grown!"
"I should hope so!" was the response in Natasha's laughing eyes."
… He felt the weight of that steady, attectionate gaze and now and then stole a glance at her.

It seemed to her mother and to Sonya that Natasha was in love with Boris as she had been before. She sang his favorite songs to him, showed him her album, made him write in it, and would not allow him to allude to the past making him feel how delightful the present was…

Natasha jumped up on it, sank into the featherbed, rolled over to the wall and began snuggling down under the quilt, tucking herself in, drawing her knees up to her chin, then kicking out with a barely audible giggle as she alternately ñîvered her head and peeped out at her mother.
Natasha, flushed and eager, stopped suddenly when she saw her mother in prayer, made a little curtsey, and uncon-sciously put out her tongue, as if chiding herself.

"Mamma, can we have a little talk… yes?" said Natasha. "There now, one on your throat, one more, and that's all." And she threw her arms around her mother's neck and kissed her under the chin.
Though she appeared to treat her mother somewhat roughly, Natasha was so sensitive and so deft that however she clasped her mother she always managed to do it without hurting, discomforting, or displeasing her.

"Well, what is it tonight?" asked her mother, arranging her pillows and waiting till Natasha, who had already rolled over a couple of times before settling down beside her under the quilt, had drawn out her hands, and assumed a serious expression.
These visits before the Count came home from his club at night were one of the greatest pleasures of both mother and daughter.
"What is it tonight?.. And I want to talk to you about—"
Natasha covered her mother's mouth with her hand. "About Boris—I know," she said seriously. "That's what I've come about. Don't say it—I know. No, do say it!" She took away her hand. "Go on, Mamma. He's nice, isn't he?"
"Natasha, you are sixteen years old. At your age I was married. You say Borya is nice. He is very nice, and I love him like a son. But what then?.. What are you thinking of? You've completely turned his head, I can see that."
As she said this the Countess looked round at her daugh-ter. Natasha lay staring straight before her at one of the ma-hogany sphinxes carved on the corners of the bedstead, so that the Countess only saw her daughter's face in profile. She was struck by its serious, intent expression.

Natasha was listening and considering. "Well, so what then?" she said.
"You have completely turned his head—why? What do you
want of him? You know you can't marry him."
"Why not?" asked Natasha without changing her
position.
"Because he is young, because he is poor, because he is a relation... and because you don't really love him."
"I know. It's not right, little one."
"But if I want to..." said Natasha.
"Stop talking nonsense," said the Countess.
"But if I want to..."
"Natasha, I am serious—…
I'll have a talk with Borya. He mustn't come here so often."
"Why not, if he wants
to?"
"Because I know it can't lead to anything."
"How do you know? No, Mamma, don't say anything to
him. Don't you dare
talk to him. What nonsense!" said Nata-sha in the
tone of someone being deprived of his property.
"All right, I won't marry him, but let him come if he enjoys it and I enjoy
it." Natasha glanced at her mother with a smile. "Not to marry, but
just to... go on as we are."
"What do you mean, my pet?"
"As we are. Well, if I really shouldn't marry him... we can just go on as we are."

"It's amazing how clever I am, and how… Ah, how charming she is," she went on, speaking to herself in the third person and imagining that it was some very intelligent, the very most intelligent and best of men who was saying this about her. "She has everything, everything," continued this man, "she isn extraordinarily intelligent, charming... and then she is pretty, remarkably pretty, and graceful—she swims and rides splendidly, and what a voice! One can really say a mar-velous voice!"

had heen bustling about helping everyone, was behindhand.

In the damp, chill air, and the confined semidarkness of the swaying carriage, for the first time she vividly pictured what was in store for her there at the ball, in those brightly lighted halls—the music, the flowers, the dancing, the Tsar, all the dazzling young people of Petersburg. The prospect was so splendid, and so incongruous with the chill darkness of the cramped carriage, that she could hardly believe it would come true.

She only realized what was before her when, after walking
over the red baize at the entrance, she had entered the hall, taken off her fur
cloak, and, with Sonyn at her side, preceded her mother up the lighted
staircase between the flowers. Only then did she remember how she should behave
at a ball, and tried to assume the stately air she considered
indispensable for a girl on such an occasion. But fortunately for her, she was
so dazzled that she saw nothing clearly, her pulse beat a hundred to the
minute, and the blood throbbed at her heart. It was impossible for her to
affect the pose that would have made her ridiculous, and she went on, almost
swooning with excitement and trying with all her might to conceal it. And this
was the very attitude that became her best.

Natasha's face, with its tremulous expression, looking as if she were on the brink of rapture or despair, instantly lighted up with a joyous, grateful, childlike smile.
"I have been waiting so long for you!" the frightened, happy little girl seemed to be saying as she raised her hand to Prince Andrei's shoulder with a smile that shone through im-minent tears. They were the second couple to enter the circle. Prince Andrei was one of the best dancers of his day and Na-tasha danced exquisitely. Her little feet in their satin dancing slippers moved swiftly, lightly, as if they had wings, and her face beamed with ecstatic happiness.

… he admired the joyous radiance of her eyes and smile, which had nothing to do with what was said but related to her own inner happiness.
At the end of the cotillion the
old Count in his blue coat came up to the young people who had been dancing. He
invited Prince Andrei to come and see them and asked his daughter whether she
was enjoying herself. Natasha did not answer at once, but only looked up with a reproachful smile
that seemed to say: "How can you ask such a question?"
"I've never enjoyed myself so much in my life!" she said.
Natasha had never been so happy. She was in that heightened state of bliss when one becomes wholly good and kind and cannot believe in the possibility of evil, unhappiness, or sorrow.

Prince Andrei was standing before her, saying something to her with a look of guarded tenderness. She had raised her head and was looking up at him, blushing, and visibly trying to control her rapid breathing.

It seemed to Natasha that she had fallen in love with Prince Andrei the very first time she saw him in Otradnoe. It was as if she was frightened by this strange, unforeseen hap-piness of meeting again the very man she had chosen even then (she was firmly convinced she had done so), and of find-ing him, as it seemed, not indifferent to her.
"And that he should have come to Petersburg just when we are here! And that we should have met at that ball! It is fate. It is clearly fate that everything has led up to this. Even then, the very moment I saw him, I felt something special."

After morning tea she went to the ballroom, which she particularly liked for its loud resonance, and began singing her solfeggio. When she had finished the first exercise she stood still in the middle of the room and repeated a musical phrase that specially pleased her. She listened with delight (as though it were quite unexpected) to the charm of those notes pouring out, filling the emptiness of the ballroom, then slowly dying awny, and all at once her heart felt lighter.

That morning she had returned to her favorite mood of liking and being delighted with herself. "What a charming creature that Natasha is!" she again said of herself, speaking as some third, collective, male person. "Pretty, young, and with a voice… gives nobody any trouble if they leave her in peace..."

In the vestibule the ball door was opened and someone asked if they were at home. Then footsteps were heard. Nata-sha, looking at herself in the mirror, did not see herself. She was listening to the sounds in the hall. When she saw herself her face was white. It was he. She knew this for certain, though she hardly heard his voice through the closed doors.

Natasha knew she ought to go, but she was unable to move: her throat tightened, and, unmindful of her manners, she sat staring wide-eyed at Prince Andrei.
"At once? This very instant?.. No, it cannot be!" she thought.
He glanced at her again, and that glance convinced her that she was not mistaken. Yes, at once, that very instant, her fate would be decided.

Natasha could not have said how she reached the drawing room. When she entered the room and saw him she hesitated. "Can it be that this stranger has now become everything to me?" she asked herself, and instantly answered: "Yes, everything: he alone is now dearer to me than everything in the world."
Prince Andrei approached her with downcast eyes.
"I have loved you from the first moment I saw you. May I hope?"

"Can this really be I, the baby-girl, as everyone called me?" Natasha was thinking. "Is it possible that from this time forth I am to be the wife and equal of this strange, dear, clever man, whom even my father looks up to? Can it be true? Can it be true that now there will be no more playing with life, that now I am grown up, now a responsibility rests on me for every word and deed?.. But what was it he asked me?"

"In a year you will learn to know yourself."
"A whole year!" Natasha suddenly exclaimed, only now realizing that the marriage was to be deferred for a year. "But why a year? Why a year?.."
Prince Andrei began to explain to her the reasons for this delay. Natasha did not hear him.
"And it cannot be otherwise?" she asked.
Prince Andrei made no reply, but his face expressed the impossibility of altering the decision.
"It's awful! Oh, it's awful, awful!" Natasha cried suddenly.

When Prince Andrei talked (he could tell a story very well) Natasha listened with pride; when she spoke, she noticed with fear and joy that he contemplated her with an intent, scrutinizing gaze. "What does he hope to find in me?" she asked herself in perplexity. "What is he searching for with that look? Suppose what he is seeking in me is not there?" Some-times she fell into one of the mad, merry moods characteristic of her, and then it was an especial delight to see him and to hear him laugh.

Neither her parents, nor Sonya, nor Prince Andrei him-self, could have foreseen the effect of the parting on Natasha. Flushed and agitated, she wandered about the house the whole day, dry-eyed, busying herself with the most trivial matters, as if not realizing what lay ahead of her. She did not cry even when he kissed her hand for the last time. "Don't go!" was all she said, but in a voice that made him wonder whether he really ought not to stay, and which be remembered long after.

"How shall I put it?" answered Natasha. "I was in love with Boris, with my teacher, and with Dentsov, but this is to-tally different. I feel calm, sure. I know that no better man than he exists, and I am so serene and contented now. It's not at all like it was before…"

At that same moment Natasha, without even taking breath, gave vent to her delight in an ecstatic shriek so shrill that everyone's ears tingled. By that cry she expressed what the others were expressing by all talking at once; it was so strange that she must herself have been ashamed of so wild a cry, and the others would have been amazed at it at any other time.

"Well, this young Countess—fair field, clear course—never saw anything like her!" he said, giving Nikolai a long-stemmed pipe and with a practiced motion of three fingers filling another, one that had been cut short, for himself.

"How well he plays. It's really very nice," said Nikolai, with a certain unconscious superciliousness, as if ashamed to admit that the music pleased him very much.
"Nice!" exclaimed Natasha reproachfully, in response to her brother's tone. "Nice isn't the word—it's absolutely en-chanting!"
Just as "Uncle's" mushrooms, honey, and liqueurs had seemed to her the most delicious in the world, so this song at that moment seemed to her to be the very acme of musical delight.
"Lovely, lovely, Uncle! Again! Again!" cried Natasha as soon as he had finished, and jumping up she hugged and kissed him. "Nikolenka, Nikolenka!" she said, turning to her brother in wonder.

When, where, and how had this young Countess, educated by a
French emigree governess, imbibed with the Russian air she breathed the
spirit of that dance? Where had she picked up that manner, which the pas de
chale, one might have supposed, would long ago have obliterated? But
the spirit of the movements were those inimitable,
unteachable Russian gestures that "Uncle" had expected of her. The
moment she struck her pose and smiled that proud, triumphant, knowing smile,
the fear that had at first seized Nikolai and the others that she might not do
the right thing passed, and they were already admiring her.

And Nikolai heard her spontaneous, ringing, happy laugh.

"Don't look at me, Mamma, don't look at me or I'll start crying."
"Sit down, come and sit here by me," said the Countess.

She had said she did not feel like singing but it was long since she had sung, and long before she again sang, as she did that evening. Count Ilya Andreich heard her from his study where he was talking to Mitenka, and like a schoolboy in haste to finish his lessons and run out to play, he muddled the orders to his steward, and at last stopped speaking. Mitenka, standing before him, also listened and smiled. Nikolai did not take his eyes off his sister and drew breath in time with her. Sonya, as she listened, thought what a difference there was between herself and her friend, and how impossible it was for her to be anywhere near as fascinating as her cousin. The old Countess sat with a blissful yet sad smile on her face and tears in her eyes, now and then shaking her head. She was thinking both of Natasha and of her own youth, and how there was something terrible and unnatural in this prospective marriage of Natasha's to Prince Andrei.

Natasha stopped abruptly.
"Idiot!" she screamed at her brother, and running to a chair she flung herself into it and broke into such violent sob-bing that it was a long while before she could stop.
"It's nothing, Mamma, really it's nothing. Only Petya startled me," she said, trying to smile, but her tears continued to flow, and she was choked by sobs.

Natasha was the first to set the tone of holiday gaiety, and this gaiety spread from one to another, grew wilder and wilder, reaching its climax when they all came out into the frosty air and got into the sledges, talking, calling to one an-other, laughing, and shouting.

"I'm so glad, so glad! I was beginning to be cross with
you. I didn't say anything to you, but you've been treating her badly. What a
heart she has, Nicolas! I am so glad! I'm horrid sometimes, but I was really
ashamed to be happy when she wasn't," continued Natasha. "I am so
glad. Now run back to her!"
"… I had a quarrel with Mamma about it not long ago. Mamma said she was
angling for you. How could she say such a thing? I nearly stormed at Mamma. I
will never allow anyone to say or think anything bad of Sonya, for there is
nothing but good in her. "

They talked of how they would live when they were married,
how their husbands would be friends, and how happy they would be.
On Natasha's table stood two mirrors that Dunyasha had arranged there earlier in the evening for looking into the future.
"Only when will that be? I'm afraid never... That would be too good!" said Natasha, rising and going over to the mirrors.

Natasha began, and, paying no heed to Sonya's attempts to comfort her, she got into bed, and long after her candle was out lay open-eyed and motionless, staring at the bleak moonlight coming through the frosty windowpanes.

But before he had time to speak the fatal words, which the expression on his face caused his mother to await with terror, and which would perhaps have left them both with bitter memories forever, Natasha, who had been listening at the door, rushed into the room with a pale and serious face.
"Nikolenka, you don't know what you are saying! Be quiet, be quiet, I tell you. Be quiet!" she almost screamed in order to muffle his voice.
"Mamma darling, it's not so at all—my poor sweet dar-ling!" she said to her mother who, conscious that they had been on the verge of a rupture, was gazing at her son in horror; yet because of her obstinacy and the heat of the conflict, she could not and would not give way.
"Nikolenka, I'll explain later—go away! Listen, Mamma darling..." said Natasha.
Her words were incoherent but they accomplished the purpose.
The Countess, with a deep sob, buried her face in her daughter's breast, while Nikolai got up, and, clutching his head, left the room.
Natasha set to work to bring about a
reconciliation and so far succeeded that Nikolai received a
promise from his mother that Sonya should not be ill-used, while he on his side
promised not to take any step without his parents' knowledge.

Natasha, who had borne the first period of separation from her betrothed lightly and even cheerfully, now grew more restless and impatient every day. The thought that the best time of her life, which might have been spent in loving him, was being wasted and of no use to anyone, fretted her continually. His letters for the most part irritated her. It hurt her to think that while she lived only in the thought of him, he was living a real life, seeing new places and new people that interested him. The more entertaining his letters were the more they provoked her. Her letters to him, far from giving her any comfort, seemed to her a tedious and artificial duty. She could not write because she could not conceive of the possibility of sincerely expressing in a letter even a thousandth part of what she was accustomed to convey by the tone of her voice, a smile, a look. She wrote him dry, conventional, monotonous letters, to which she attached no importance herself and in the rough copies of which the Countess corrected her mistakes in spelling.

Natasha felt affronted by the hesitancy she had noticed in the anteroom, by her father's nervousness, and by the unnatural manner of the Princess, who seemed to be doing her a favor in receiving her, and as a consequence everything displeased her. She did not like Princess Marya, whom she thought very ugly, affected, and unsympathetic. All at once Natasha shrank into herself, involuntarily assuming a nonchalant air which further repulsed Princess Marya.

Dressed and waiting for her father in the big hall, she surveyed herself in the large mirror, and when she saw how pretty, how very pretty she was, she felt even sadder than before, but it was a sweet, tender sadness.
"Oh, God, if he were here now, I wouldn't have behaved as I did then, with that silly sort of shyness, but differently. I would simply throw my arms around his neck, cling to him, make him look at me with those searching, inquiring eyes of his with which he so often looked at me, and then I would make him laugh as he used to laugh then. And his eyes—how I can see those eyes!" thought Natasha. "And what do his father and sister matter to me? I love him alone, him, him, with that face, those eyes, and with his smile—manly and yet childlike... No, better not think of him, better not think, but forget, forget him altogether for the present. I can't bear this waiting, I shall cry in a minute!" And she turned away from the glass, making an effort not to weep.

At that moment Natasha felt herself so full of tenderness and emotion that it was not enough for her to love and know that she was loved: what she wanted now, at once, was to embrace her beloved, speak and hear from him the words of love that filled her heart. As she rode along in the carriage, sitting beside her father and pensively watching the lights of the streat lamps flickering on the frosty windowpane she felt still sadder and more in love, and forgot where she was going and with whom.

During the entire entr'acte Kuragin stood with Dolokhov in front of the footlights, staring at the Rostovs' box. Natasha knew he was talking about her, and this pleased her. She even turned so that he could see her profile, which she thought was her best angle.
... something told her it was Kuragin. She turned and their eyes met. Almost smiling, he looked straight into her eyes with such an entranced, caressing look that it seemed strange to be so near him, to be looking at him like that, to be so sure he admired her, and yet not be acquainted with him.
… She was pleased to see that he was so captivated by
her and it did not occur to her that there could be anything wrong in it.

While saying this he never took his smiling eyes from her face, her neck, and her bare aims. Natasha had no doubt that he was fascinated by her. This pleased her, and yet for some reason his presence was oppressive to her, making her feel constrained and ill at ease. When she was not looking at him she felt that he was scrutinizing her shoulders, and she instinctively caught his eye so that he should look into her face. But looking into his eyes she felt frightened, realizing that the barrier of decorum she had always been conscious of between herself and other men did not exist between them.

The curtain rose, and Anatol left the box, serene and gay. Natasha went back to her father in the other box, completely under the spell of the world in which she found herself. All that was going on before her now seemed quite natural; on the other hand, all former thoughts of her betrothed, of Princess Marya, of life in the country, did not once recur to her mind, as if all that belonged to some remote past.
As they were leaving the theater Anatol came up to them, called their carriage, and helped them in. As he was putting Natasha in the carriage he squeezed her arm. Excited, flushed, and happy, she glanced round at him. He was looking at her with flashing eyes and smiling tenderly.

"What is it? What was the terror I felt of him? What is the meaning of these pangs of conscience I am feeling now?" she asked herself.

I have done nothing, I didn't lead him on in the least. Nobody will know, and I'll never see him again," she told herself. "So since it is clear that nothing has happened, there is nothing to repent of, and Prince Andrei can still love me. But why 'still'? Oh, my God, why isn't he here?"

face, the gestures, and the tender smile of that bold, handsome man when be

The day after the opera the Rostovs stayed at home and nobody came to call. Marya Dmitrievna had a discussion with the Count about something which they kept from Natasha. Na-tasha guessed that they were talking about the old Prince and making some plan, and this disquieted and offended her. She was expecting Prince Andrei to arrive at any moment, and twice that day sent a manservant to the house in Vozdvizhenka Street to find out whether he had come. He had not. It was more difficult for her now than during her first days in Moscow.

She was continually fancying either that he would never come, or that something would happen to her before he came. She was no longer capable of thinking of him calmly and for hours on end as she had done before. The moment he came to her mind, recollections of the old Prince, of Princess Marya, of the theater and Kuragin, intruded on her thoughts.

Once more she asked herself whether she had done any-thing wrong, whether she had not already broken faith with Prince Andrei, and again she found herself going over in the minutest detail every word, every gesture, and every shade in the play of expression on the face of the man who had been able to arouse in her such an incomprehensible and terrifying feeling. In the eyes of those about her Natasha seemed livelier than usual, but she was far from being as tranquil and happy as before.

Natasha's spirits rose and she felt almost in love with this woman, who was so beautiful and so gracious. Ellen, for her part, was sincere in her admiration of Natasha and in her wish to see her enjoy herself. Anatol had begged her to bring them together, and it was with this object that she had called on the Rostovs. The idea of throwing Natasha and her brother together amused her.

Anatol was at the door, evidently waiting for the Rostovs arrival. Immediately after greeting the Count he went up to Natasha and followed her into the drawing room. As soon as she saw him she was seized by the same emotions she had experienced at the opera—a feeling of gratified vanity at his admiration and fear of the absence of any moral barrier be-tween them.

Natasha's eyes were fixed on the fat actress, but she neither saw nor understood anything that went on before her; she was conscious only of being irrevocably borne away once more into that strange and senseless world, so remote from her old one, a world in which it was impossible to know what was good or bad, what was reasonable or senseless. Behind her sat Analol, and, aware of his proximity, she experienced a frightened sense of expectancy.

Analol asked Natasha for a waltz, and as they danced he squeezed her waist and hand, told her she was ravissante and that he loved her. During the ecossaise, which she also danced with him, Anatol said nothing when they happened to be alone, but only gazed at her. Natasha wondered whether she had dreamed what he said to her during the waltz. At the end of the first figure he again squeezed her hand. Natasha lifted her frightened eyes to him, but there was such confident tenderness in his affectionate gaze and smile that looking at him she found it impossible to say what she had to say to him. She lowered her eyes.

Natasha, vivacious and excited, looked about her with wide-open, startled eyes, and seemed gayer than usual. After-ward she recalled almost nothing of what took place that eve-ning. They danced the ecossaise and the Grossvater. Her fa-ther asked her to come home, but she begged to remain.

Wherever she was, whomever she was talking to, she felt his eyes upon her. Later she remembered asking her father to let her go to the dressing room to arrange her dress, and that she had met Anatol in the little sitting room. Ellen disappear-ed, leaving them alone, and Anatol had taken her hand and in a tender voice said:
"I cannot come to visit you, but is it possible that I am never to see you? I am madly in love with you. Can I never…" And barring her way, he brought his face close to hers.
His large, brilliant, masculine eyes were so close to hers that she could see nothing else...
"Nathalie?" he whispered inquiringly, and she felt her hands being squeezed till they hurt. "Nathalie?"
"I don't understand. I have nothing to say," her eyes re-plied...
Burning lips were pressed to hers, and almost instanta-neously she felt herself released.

… she was tormented by the insoluble problem of whether she loved Anatol or Prince Andrei. She loved Prince Andrei—she clearly remembered how deeply she loved him. But she loved Anatol too, of that there was no doubt. "Otherwise, how could all this have happened?" she thought. "If, after that, I could return his smile when saying good-bye, if I was able to let things go so far, it means I fell in love with him from the very first. So he must be good, noble, kind, and I could not help loving him. What am I to do if I love them both?" she asked herself, unable to find an answer to these terrible questions.

It was a letter from Princess Marya.
"She's written to you. How she torments herself, poor thing! She's afraid you might think she doesn't like you."
"But she doesn't like met" said Natasha.
"Don't talk nonsense!" cried Marya Dmitrievna.
"No one can convince me: I know she doesn't like me," Natasha boldly retorted as she took the letter, and an expres-sion of such cold, resentful resolution came over her face.

After dinner Natasha went to her room and again took up Princess Marya's letter. "Ñan it be that it is all over?" she thought. "Can all this have happened so quickly and have de-stroyed everything that went before?" She recalled in all its former power her love for Prince Andrei, and at the same time felt that she loved Anatol.

"Why couldn't it be both?" she kept asking herself in complete bewilderment. "Only then could I be perfectly happy, but now I have to choose, and I can't be happy if I give up either one of them… One thing is certain," she thought, "to tell Prince Andrei what has happened, or to hide it from him, is equally impossible. But with the other, nothing is spoiled… Can I really give up forever the happiness of Prince Andrei's love, in which I have lived so long?"

"No, I can't believe it," insisted Sonya, "I don't under-stand. How can you have loved a man for a whole year and suddenly… Why, you have only seen him three times! Nata-sha, I don't believe you, you're joking. In three days to forget everything and be so—"
"Three days?" interrupted Natasha. "It seems to me I've loved him a hundred years. It seems to me that I never loved anyone before. You can't understand that. Sonya, wait, sit here," and Natasha threw her arms around her and kissed her. "I've heard of this happening, and you must have heard of it too, but it's only now that I feel such love. It's not the same as before. The moment I set eyes on him I felt that he was my master and I his slave, and that I could not help loving him. Yes, his slave! Whatever he bids me do, I shall do. You don't understand that. What can I do? What can I do, Sonya?" cried Natasha with a blissful yet timorous expression.

"But what has happened between you?" she asked. "What has he said to you? Why doesn't he come to the house?"

Natasha looked at Sonya in amazement. Apparently the question had not occurred to her before and she did not know how to answer it.
"I don't know what his reasons are. But there must be reasons!"

"Sonya, one can't doubt him! One can't, one can't! Don't you understand?" she cried.
"Does he love you?"
"Does he love me?" Natasha repeated with a smile of pity at her friend's lack of comprehension. "You've read his letter, haven't you, and you've seen him!"
"But if he is not an honorable man?"
"He—not an honorable man? If you only knew!" said Natasha.
"If he is an honorable man he should either declare his intentions or give up seeing you. And if you won't tell him, I will: I'll write to him. I'll tell Papa!" declared Sonya resolutely.

Natasha went to the table and without a moment's reflec-tion wrote the answer to Princess Marya which she had been unable to write in the morning. In her letter she briefly inform-ed Princess Marya that all their misunderstandings were at an end; that she was availing herself of Prince Andrei's magnani-mity in giving her complete freedom when he went abroad, asked her to forget everything and forgive her if she had been to blame toward her, but that she could not be her brother's wife. All this seemed quite easy, simple, and clear to Natasha at that moment.

Natasha's illness was so serious
that, fortunately for her and for her parents, all thought of what had caused
it—her conduct and the breaking off of her engagement—faded into the
background. It was impossible
for them to consider how far she was to blame for what had happened
while she was so ill.
... coughing, and, as the doctors gave them to understand, was in danger.

Doctors came to see her singly and in consultation, talked a great deal in French, German, and Latin, criticized one another, prescribed the most diverse remedies applicable to every disease known to them, but the very simple idea never occurred to any of them that they could not know what Natasha was suttering from, as no illness afflicting any living person can ever be known, for each living being has his own peculiarities, and whatever his ailment, it is always peculiar to himself, a new, complex malady unknown to medicine—not a disease of the lungs, liver, skin, heart, nerves, and so on, as described in medical books, but a disease consisting of one of the innumerable combinations of the disorders of these organs.

Toward the end of the fast of St. Peter, Agrafena Ivanovna Byelova, a country neighbor of the Rostovs, came to Moscow to pay her devotions at the shrines of the saints. She suggested that Natasha should fast and prepare to take Holy Communion, and Natasha seized on the idea with joy. Although the doctors forbade her going out early in the morning, she insisted on fasting and preparing for the Sacrament, not as was generally done in the Rostov family by attending three services in their own home, but as Agrafena Ivanovna did, by going to church every day for a whole week and not once missing Vespers, Matins, or Mass.

Natasha always stood beside Byelova in the customary place before the icon of the Mother of God let into the screen in front of the choir, and a new feeling of humility in the presence of something sublime and incomprehensible came over her when, at that unusual morning hour, she gazed at the dark face of the Mother of God illuminated by candles burning before it and the morning light falling from the window, and listened to the words of the service, which she tried to follow with understanding. When she did understand them, all the various shades of her personal feelings became interwoven in her prayer; when she did not understand, it was sweeter still for her to think that the desire to understand all is pride.

She slood by her mother's side and exchanged nods with acquaintances near her. From habit she scrutinized the ladies' dresses, finding fault with the tenue of a lady standing nearby, and the awkward, cramped way in which she crossed herself; then again she thought with vexation that she herself was being judged even as she was judging others, and suddenly, hearing the service, she was horrified at her own meanness, horrified that her recent purity of heart should be lost to her once more.

"For the peace which is from above, and for the salvation of our souls!"
"For the world of angels and the souls of all spiritual beings who dwell above us," prayed Natasha.
When they prayed for the army, she thought of her brother and Denisov. When they prayed for those who travel by land and sea, she remembered Prince Andrei, and prayed for him, and asked God to forgive her all the wrong she had done him. When they prayed for those who love us, she prayed for the members of her own family, her father and mother and Sonya, realizing for the first time how wrongly she had acted toward them, and how deeply she loved them. She reckoned as enemies all her father's creditors and all those who had business dealings with him, and always at the thought of enemies and people who hated her she remembered Anatol, who had done her so much harm, and though he did not hate her, she gladly prayed for him as an enemy. Only at prayer was she able to think clearly and calmly of either Prince Andrei or Anatol, as of men for whom her feelings were as nothing compared with her feeling of awe and reverence for God. When they prayed for the imperial family and the Synod, she crossed herself and bowed especially low, saying to herself that even if she did not understand, she could not doubt, and at any rate loved the governing Synod and prayed for it.

Several times during the service the Countess glanced at her daughter's rapt face and shining eyes, and prayed God to help her.

In Natasha's impressionable state this prayer affected her strongly. She listened to every word about the victory of Moses over Amalek, of Gideon over Midian, and David over Goliath, and about the destruction of "Thy Jerusalem", and she prayed to God with all the tenderness and fervor with which her heart was overflowing, but without fully understanding what she was asking of God in that prayer. With all her soul she joined in the prayer for the spirit of righteousness, for fortifying her heart by faith and hope, and animating it with love. But she could not pray that her enemies might be crushed underfoot when only a few minutes before she had been wishing she had more of them to love and pray for. Yet neither could she doubt the justness of the prayer that was being read on bended knees. She felt in her heart a devout and tremulous awe at the punishment that overtakes men for their sins, and especially of her own sins, and she prayed God to forgive them all, and her too, and to grant them all peace and happiness. And it seemed to her that God heard her prayer.

"No, why should it be? On the contrary... But why do you ask me?"
"I don't know myself," replied Natasha quickly. "But I should not like to do anything you disapprove of. I trust you in everything. You don't know how important you are to me and how much you have done for me!.." She spoke rapidly and did not notice how Pierre flushed at her words.

Before Shinshin had time to utter the jest he was preparing to make at the expense of the Count's patriotism, Natasha jumped up from her place and ran to her father.
"What a darling our Papa is!" she cried, kissing him, and again glancing at Pierre with that unconscious coquetry that accompanied the revival of her spirits.
"Now, there's a little patriot for you!" said Shinshin.

"Why are you going? Why are you so upset? Why?" asked Natasha, and she looked challengingly into Pierre's eyes.
He wanted to say: "Because I love you," but did not say it, and only blushed till the tears came, and lowered bis eyes,
"Because it is better for me not to come here so often... Because... No, it's simply that I have business..."
"No, tell me! Why?" Natasha resolutely began, and sud-denly stopped.
They looked at each other in dismay and confusion, tried to smile but could not.

"Do you know what it's all about?" Petya asked Natasha.
Natasha knew that he meant what their father and mother had been quarreling about. She did not answer.

"In my opinion," Natasha almost shouted, turning to her brother with a look of fury...

But Natasha gazed at her as though not understanding what was asked of her, and again fixed her eyes on the corner of the stove. She had been in this dazed condition since early morning, when Sonya, to the surprise and exasperation of the Countess, had for some unaccountable reason found it necessary to tell Natasha of Prince Andrei's wound and of his presence in the train of officers traveling with them.

That morning when Natasha was told that Prince Andrei was traveling with them, at first she had only asked questions: Where was he going? How had he been wounded? Was it serious? And could she see him? But after she had been told that she could not see him, that the wound was serious but that his life was not in danger, she gave up asking questions or speaking at all, evidently not believing what they told her and convinced that whatever she said she would be given the same answers. She had sat motionless in a comer of the coach the whole day, her eyes wide with an expression the Countess knew so well and feared so much. And now she was sitting in the same way on the bench in the hut. She was brooding over something, making some plan, or had already come to some decision in her own mind—this the Countess knew, but what the decision might be she did not know, and this alarmed and worried her.

All day she had lived in the hope of seeing him that night. But now that the moment had come she was filled with dread of what she might find. How had he been mutilated? What was left of him? Would he be like that ceaseless moan of the adjutant? Yes, he would be just like that.

In her imagination he was that terrible moaning personi-fied. When she discerned an indistinct shape in the corner and mistook the knees raised under the blanket for his shoulders, she visualized some horrifying body and stood still in terror. But an irresistible impulse drew her forward. She took one cautious step, then another, and found herself in the middle of the small room cumbered with baggage.

He was the same as ever, but the feverish flush on his face, his glittering eyes rapturously gazing at her, and especially his neck, delicate as a child's and showing above the turned-down collar of his nightshirt, gave him a singularly innocent, childlike look, such as she had never seen in him before. She went up to him and with a swift, supple, youthful movement, fell to her knees.
He smiled and held out his hand to her.

Prince Andrei summoned all his strength in an effort to remember; he moved slightly, and suddenly there was a ringing in his ears, a dimness in his eyes, and like a man plunged into water he lost consciousness. When he came to himself, Natasha, that same living Natasha whom of all people he most longed to love with this new, pure, divine love that had been revealed to him, was kneeling before him. He realized that this was the real, living Natasha, and he did not wonder, but quietly rejoiced. Natasha was on her knees, frightened, but rooted to the ground (she could not have moved), gazing at him and trying to restrain her sobs.

Prince Andrei sighed with relief, smiled, and held out his hand.
"You?" he said. "How fortunate!"
With a swift but cautious movement Natasha drew nearer to him, still on her knees, and carefully taking his hand, bent her face over it and began kissing it, barely touching it with her lips.
"Forgive me!" she said in a whisper, lifting her head and glancing at him. "Forgive me!"
"I love you," said Prince Andrei.
"Forgive..."
"Forgive what?" asked Prince Andrei.
"Forgive me for—for what I have d-done!" Natasha fal-tered in a scarcely audible whisper, and began quickly covering bis hand with kisses, lightly brushing it with her lips.
"I love you more—better than before," said Prince Andrei, lifting her face with his hand so as to look into her eyes.

The door of Prince Andrei's room opened and Natasha came out looking excited. Not noticing the monk, who had risen to greet her and was drawing back the wide sleeve over his right arm, she went up to Sonya and took her hand.
"Natasha, what are you thinking of? Come here!" said the Countess.
Natasha went up to the monk to receive his blessing, and he counseled her to turn to God for help, and to the monastery's patron saint.

The Princess looked around and
saw Natasha—that Natasha whom she had so
disliked at their meeting in Moscow long ago—all but running into the room.
Hardly had she glanced at Natasha's face before she knew that here was her true comrade in grief, and consequently a friend. She flew to meet her, embraced her, and began to weep on her shoulder.

The only expression on her agitated face as she ran into the drawing room was one of love, of boundless love for him, for Princess Marya, for everything related to the man she loved, an expression compounded of pity, suffering for others, and the passionate desire to give herself entirely to helping them. It was plain that at the moment there was in Natasha's heart no thought of herself or of her own relations with Prince Andrei.

(She had learned to knit after Prince Andrei had casually remarked that no one nursed the sick as well as an old nurse who knit stockings, and that there was something soothing about knitting.) The needles clicked in her slender, swiftly moving fingers, and the wistful profile of her drooping head was clearly visible to him. She moved, and the ball of wool rolled from her lap. She started, glanced at him, and, screening the candle with her hand, bent down with a cautious, supple, and deft movement, picked up the ball, and sat back as before.

When a man sees a dying animal he is seized with horror: substance similar to his own is patently extinguished before his eyes—ceases to exist. But when the dying creature is human, and a loved one, besides this horror in the presence of the extinction of life there is a rupture...

They carefully guarded their open wounds from any harsh and painful contact. Everything: a carriage passing rapidly in the street, a summons to dinner, the maid asking which dress to put out, or, worse still, any word of insincere or perfunctory sympathy, sorely irritated the wound, seemed an affront, and violated the requisite silence in which they both tried to listen to the somber, awesome choir that still resounded in their imagination and hindered their gazing into those mysterious, limitless vistas which for an instant had opened before them.

One day toward the end of December, Natasha, thin and wan, wearing a black woolen dress, her hair carelessly twisted into a knot, was sitting with her feet tucked under her at one end of the sofa, nervously creasing and smoothing out the ends of her sash and staring at a corner of the door.
She was gazing at the place where he had gone—the other side of life. And that other side of life, of which she had never thought before, and which had seemed to her so remote and improbable, was now nearer, more comprehensible and familiar, than this side of life.

"One thing would be
awful," he said, "to bind oneself forever to a suffering man. It
would be everlasting torture." And he looked at her—Natasha sees that look
again—with a searching gaze. As usual, she answered without taking time to
think what she was going to say. "This can't go on," she said,
"it won't go on, you will get well—entirely well."

"I agreed," Natasha now said to herself,
"that it would be awful if he were to go on suffering always. I said it at
the time only because it would have been awful for him, but he understood it
differently. He thought it would be awful for me. He still wanted to
live then—he was afraid of death. But I said it so awkwardly and stupidly. It
wasn't what I meant. I was thinking of something quite different. If I had said
what I was thinking, I should have said: even if he had to go on dying, dying
continually before my eyes, I should have been happy compared with what I am
now. Now... there is nothing, no one. Did he know that? No. He didn't know,
he'll nevere know. And now it can never, never possibly be put
right."
p. 1288
And again he was saying the same words to her, but now in her imagination Natasha gave him a different answer. She stopped him and said: "Awful for you, but not for me. You know that for me there is nothing in life but you, and to suffer with you is the greatest happiness for me." And he took her hand and pressed it as he had pressed it on that terrible evening four days before his death. And in her imagination she uttered tender, loving words, which she might have said to him then, but spoke only now. "I love you... you... love you, love you..." she said, wringing her hands convulsively and clenching her teeth in desperate travail.

And a sweet sorrow overcame her and tears came to her eyes. But all at once she asked herself: to whom was she saying this? Where is he and who is he now?
Again everything was shrouded in a dull, aching perplexity, and again, with a strained frown, she tried to peer into the world where he was... Now, now, she thought, she was about to penetrate the mystery.

Besides a general feeling of aloofness from everyone at this time, Natasha fell a special estrangement from the members of her own family.

"Pe—Petya—Go, go, she—she is calling," and weeping like a child, he feebly tottered to a chair and almost fell into it, covering his face with his hands.
Suddenly it was as if an electric shock ran through Nata-sha's whole being. Terrible anguish struck her heart. She felt an agonizing pain, as if something were being rent within her and she were dying. But the pain was followed by an instantaneous release from the constraint that had been weighing on her, cutting her off from life. At the sight of her father, and the sound of a fearful, harsh cry from behind her mother's door, she instantly forgot herself and her own grief.

Natasha, kneeling on the edge of the chair, bent over her mother and took her in her arms. With unexpected strength she raised her up and turned her face to her, pressing her close.
"Mamma!.. Darling!.. I'm here, my dearest Mamma," she kept whispering, not pausing for an instant.
She did not let go of her mother but gently struggled with her, and calling for pillows and water, unbuttoned and open her mother's dress.
"My dearest, darling...
Mamma, precious..." she murmured ceaselessly, kissing her head, her hands
and face, and feeling her own irrepressible tears tickling her nose and cheeks.

"Masha," she said, timidly drawing Princess Marya's hand toward her. "Masha, you don't think I'm wicked, do you? Masha, darling, how I love you! Let us be real, bosom friends!"
And throwing her arms around Princess Marya, Natasha began kissing her face and hands. Princess Marya was both embarrassed and delighted by this demonstration of Natasha's feelings.
From that day there sprang up between them one of those tender, passionate friendships that exist only between women. They were continually kissing and saying tender things to each other and spent most of their time together. If one went out, the other became restless and hastened to join her. Together they felt more in harmony than when apart. A tie stronger than friendship was established between them: that special feeling of life being possible only in each other's company.

One day after hurrying upstairs she was out of breath. She immediately found some pretext for going downstairs and then ran up again, testing her strength and observing the result.
Another time when she called Dunyasha her voice cracked. She called again—though she could hear her coming —in the chest tones in which she used to sing, and listened to herself.
She did not know and would not have believed it, but un-derneath what seemed to her an impenetrable layer of slime that covered her soul, tender, delicate young shoots of grass were already thrusting up, which, taking root, would so cover with their living verdure the grief that weighed her down that soon it would be unseen and forgotten. The wound had begun to heal from within.

Pierre looked again at the companion's pale, delicate face with its black eyes and curious mouth. Something close to him, long forgotten and more than sweet, gazed at him from those intent eyes.
"But no, it can't be!" he thought "This stern, thin, pale face that looks so much older? It cannot be she. It only reminds me of her."

Pierre had not noticed Natasha because he had never ex-pected to see her there, and he failed to recognize her because of the tremendous change in her since they had last met. She had grown thin and pale. But that was not what made her unrecognizable: she was unrecognizable when he first entered the room and glanced at her because there was no trace of a smile on that face whose eyes had always shone with a suppressed smile of the joy of life; now her eyes were intent, kiud, and full of mournful inquiry.

Natasha, leaning on her elbow, the expression of her face continually changing with the story, watched Pierre, never taking her eyes off him, and seemed to be experiencing with him all that he described. Not only her look but her exclamations and the brief questions she put showed Pierre that she understood just what he wanted to convey. It was clear that she understood not only what he said, but also what he would have liked to say but could not express in words.

EPILOGUE
1813 - 1820 years
Natasha had married early in the spring of 1813, and by 1820 had three daughters, and a son she had longed for pas-sionately and was now nursing herself. She had grown plump and filled out, and it was hard to recognize in this robust young mother the slender, ebullient Natasha of former days.

Her features were more defined and had a calm, soft, serene expression. Her face had lost the perpetually scin-tillating animation that had formerly constituted its chief charm. Now it was more often only the face and body that one saw, while the soul was hardly apparent. The impression one had was of a strong, handsome, fruitful woman. Very seldom was the old fire kindled in her now.

The young Countess Bezukhova was seldom seen in society, and those who met her there did not find her very pleasing. She was neither charming nor amiable. It was not that Natasha liked solitude—she did not know whether she liked it or not, and rather thought that she did not—but with her pregnancies, confinements, the nursing of the children, and sharing every moment of her husband's life, she could not satisfy all these demands except by renouncing society.

All who had known Natasha before her marriage won-dered at the change in her as at something extraordinary. Only the old Countess, whose maternal instinct had always told her that Natasha's waywardness sprang from her need of children and a husband—as Natasha herself had once declared at Otradnoe, more in earnest than in jest—was now surprised by the wonder expressed by those who had never understood her daughter, and kept saying that she had always known Natasha would make an exemplary wife and mother.

Natasha, on the contrary, had immediately relinquished all her seductive charms, among which one had been extraordi-narily effective—her singing. She gave it up just because it was so powerfully seductive. She did not trouble herself about her manners or speaking tactfully, or her clothes, or showing herself to her husband in the most advantageous attitudes, and did not hesitate to make demands upon him. She did everything contrary to the rules. She felt that the charms that instinct had formerly taught her to use would now seem merely ridiculous to her husband, to whom she had from the first moment surrendered herself completely—that is, with her whole soul, leaving no comer of it hidden from him

The subject that wholly absorbed Natasha's attention was her family, that is, her husband, whom she had to keep so that he should belong entirely to her and to the home, and the children, whom she had to bear, give birth to, nurse, and rear.

Natasha needed a husband. A husband was given her, and he gave her a family. And she not only saw no need of any other or better husband, but as all her spiritual powers were devoted to serving that husband and family, she could not imagine and had no interest in trying to imagine how it would be if things were different.

Natasha did not care for society in general, but this made her value the more the society of her relations—her brother and Countess Marya, her mother, and Sonya. She prized the com-pany of those to whom she could come marching out of the nursery, disheveled and in her dressing gown, and with a joyful face show a diaper stained yellow instead of green and receive comforting reassurance that the baby was much better.

Their way of life and place of residence, their friends and ties, Natasha's occupations, the children's upbringing, were all determined not only by Pierre's expressed wishes, but by what Natasha surmised them to be from things he mentioned in conversation. And she deduced the essentials of his wishes quite correctly, and, once having arrived at them, adhered to them tenaciously. When Pierre himself showed signs of wanting to change his mind she would fight him with his own weapons.

The general opinion was that Pierre was tied to his wife's apron strings, which was quite true. From the very first days of their married life Natasha had made known her demands. Pierre was greatly surprised by his wife's view, to him a totally novel one, that every moment of his life belonged to her and to the family. His wife's demands astonished him, but they also flattered him, and he acquiesced to them.
Pierre's submission was such that, let alone flirting with a woman, be dared not even smile when speaking to one; he dared not dine at the Club simply as a pastime and without good reason; dared not spend money on a whim; dared not absent himself for any length of time except on business—in which his wife included his intellectual pursuits, which she did not in the least understand but to which she attributed great importance. In return for this, Pierre had the unqualified right to order life at home as he chose, for himself and the whole family. In her own home Natasha was a slave to her husband, and the whole household went on tiptoe when he was occupied—that is, reading or writing in his study. Pierre had only to show a predilection for anything to have that wish always satisfied. He had only to express a wish and Natasha jumped up and ran to fulfill it.

After seven years of marriage Pierre had the joyous, firm conviction that he was not a bad man, which he had come to feel because he saw himself reflected in his wife. In himself he felt all the good and bad inextricably mingled and overlapping. But in his wife he saw reflected only what was really good in him, since everything that was not absolutely good was rejected. And this was not the result of logical thought, but of something quite different—a direct, mysterious reflection.

Denisov, now a general on the retired list and very much dissatisfied with the present state of affairs, had arrived during these two weeks, and gazed at Natasha in melancholy wonder as at a bad likeness of someone once loved. A bored, dejected look, random replies, and talk about the nursery was all he saw or heard from his former enchantress.

Natasha had been disconsolate and fretful all during that time, especially when her mother, her brother, Sonya, or Countess Marya tried to excuse Pierre and invent reasons for his delay in returning.
"It's all nonsense—idiocy—all those discussions that never lead to anything, all those stupid societies!" she would say of the very matters she firmly believed were important.

During those two weeks of restlessness Natasha so often resorted to the infant for comfort, and fussed over him so much that she overfed him and he fell ill. She was terrified by his illness, yet it was just what she needed. In caring for him she found it easier to bear her uneasiness about her husband.

Natasha ran with light footsteps to the vestibule. Denisov, comjng out of the study with his pipe, now for the first time saw the old Natasha again. Her face was transfigured by a flood of radiant, joyous light.
"He's come!" she exclaimed, as she flew past, and Deni-sov felt that he too was delighted that Pierre, whom he did not much like, had returned.

"... Natasha is absurd. You know how she has him under her thumb, but when it comes to a discussion—she can't say a thing for herself—she simply repeats what he has said," added Nikolai, yielding to that irresistible impulse that leads us to criticize our nearest and dearest.

As soon as Natasha and Pierre were alone they too began to talk as only a husband and wife can talk, that is, apprehend-ding one another's thoughts and exchanging ideas with ex-traordinary swiftness and perspicuity, contrary to all the rules of logic, without the aid of premises, deductions, or conclusions, and in a quite singular way. Natasha was so used to this kind of talk with her husband that for her it was a sure sign of something wrong between them if Pierre followed a logical train of thought. When he began proving something, coolly reasoning, and she, led on by his example, began to do the same, she knew they were on the verge of a quarrel.

This simultaneous discussion of many topics, far from hindering a clear understanding, was the surest indication that they fully understood each other.
Natasha told Pierre all about the daily life of her brother's home, and of how miserable she had been, not really living, without her husband, and how she was fonder than ever of Marya, who was in every respect a better person than herself. Natasha was sincere in acknowledging Marya's superiority, but at the same time, by the very fact of saying this, she exacted from Pierre an expression of his preference for her to Marya or to any other woman, and she wanted him to tell her now, especially after having seen so many women in Petersburg.

One evening, after it had grown quite dusk, I was leaning
over the parapet of the quay, smoking, when a woman came up the steps leading
from the river, and sat down near me. In her hair she wore a great bunch of
jasmine—a flower which, at night, exhales a most intoxicating perfume. She was
dressed simply, almost poorly, in black, as most work-girls are dressed in the
evening.

When she drew near me, the woman let the mantilla which had
covered her head drop on her shoulders, and "by the dim light falling from
the stars" I perceived her to be young, short in stature,
well-proportioned, and with very large eyes.

I very much doubt whether Senorita Carmen was a
pure-blooded gipsy. At all events, she was infinitely prettier than any other
woman of her race I have ever seen. For a woman to be beautiful, they say in
Spain, she must fulfil thirty ifs, or, if it please you better, you must
be able to define her appearance by ten adjectives, applicable to three
portions of her person.

She seemed to me to be earnestly pressing him to do something he was unwilling to do. What this was I fancied I understood only too well, by the fashion in which she kept drawing her little hand backward and forward under her chin.

Then up drove the colonel's carriage, with his valet on the
box. And who should I see get out of it, but the gipsy girl! She was dressed
up, this time, to the eyes, togged out in golden ribbons—a spangled gown, blue
shoes, all spangled too, flowers and gold lace all over her. In her hand she
carried a tambourine. With her there were two other gipsy women, one young and
one old. They always have one old woman who goes with them, and then an old man
with a guitar, a gipsy too, to play alone, and also for their dances. You must
know these gipsy girls are often sent for to private houses, to dance their
special dance, the Romalis, and often, too, for quite other purposes.

"What! her husband? Is she married, then?' said I to
the captain.
" 'Yes!' he replied, 'married to Garcia el Tuerto—as
cunning a gipsy as she is herself. The poor fellow has been at the galleys.
Carmen has wheedled the surgeon of the presidio to such good purpose that
she has managed to get her rom out of prison. Faith! that girl's worth
her weight in gold. For two years she has been trying to contrive his escape,
but she could do nothing until the authorities took it into their heads to
change the surgeon. She soon managed to come to an understanding with this new
one.'

Meanwhile the enemy fired at us. It was the first time I
had ever heard bullets whistling around me and I didn't mind it very much. When
there's a woman looking on, there's no particular merit in snapping one's
fingers at death. We all escaped except the poor Remendado, who received
a bullet wound in the loins. I threw away my pack and tried to lift him up.
" 'Idiot!' shouted Garcia, 'what do we want with
offal! Finish him off, and don't lose the cotton stockings!'

It is fate. But you'll never make me give in.'

In conclusion, the author offers a table of frequency of occurrence of homeopathic remedies, selected for Natasha’s characteristics, given in the commentary. This table is com-posed for four periods of Natasha’s life: 1806, 1809, 1812 and the epilogue (1813-1820)
The table contains five remedies, obtained as the result of calculation of occurrence frequency for each time period.
As one can see from the table, Ignatia amara occupies the first place in occurrence frequency among remedies, selected for Natasha’s characteristics for the periods of 1806, 1809 and 1812. Thus, the conclusion can be drawn that Ignatia amara turns out to be the constitutional remedy for Natasha from the time she was 13 years of age until her marriage.

The choice of the remedy by means of calculations was the result of objective unification of all Natasha’s psychophysical characteristics or symptoms.
Regardless of this objective method of determination of the main constitutional remedy, the author came to the same conclusion via medical comprehension of Natasha Rostova’s anamnesis, presented by Tolstoy.
Let us review Ignatia amara’s characteristics: this remedy corresponds to people with extreme mood swings, quick changes from joy to grief, from nirvana and cheer to despair; spontaneous behavior is also characteristic of Ignatia amara. Natasha’s spontaneity, quick reactions and mood swings became a common noun in a certain sense.
Further, the Ignatia amara type always takes family matters close to heart. Such people cope poorly with the sickness of loved ones, family troubles, and at the same time, they love entertainment, which can distract them from gloomy thoughts.
Now, let us remember Natasha’s continuous aspiration to know all family matters, affairs, problems. Remember that love and affection she felt for her inner circle, her striving to help and rescue them.
We cannot help but mention her conduct after Petya’s death, when she awoke from her own grief by realizing the profound depth of her mother’s grief. In her long-suffering heart, dead to everything except grief and the memory of Count Andrei, a new and strong spring of love started beating: love for her poor mother. This love and compassion revived her, pulled her out of the sea of torpidity and indifference and back into the world. This love, this desire to ease her mother’s suffering gave her such strength and energy, that we may compare it now with a psychic’s energy. Tolstoy even uses descriptions we now use to describe psychic’s actions. Natasha wanted to take her mother’s grief away and provide strength to her mother’s soul, the will to overcome this horrible loss.
“Mommy, my friend, – she repeated, – straining all her power to love, to ever accept this pressure of grief from her,” – Tolstoy wrote.
She feels the same compassion for Nikolai, for Countess Marya, for Sonya – for all of those near and dear to her. If we approach this question from a broader perspective, we can also note Natasha’s patriotism during the war, her desire to help those who suffered wounds, her forgetting of her own interests, comfort and future: it is of the same nature as her compassion for her dearest ones. In other words, Natasha accepts the whole of Russia as her sweet, dear and beloved household.
The way she loved the wounded Andrei, cared for him, did all the unpleasant, routine work of caring for wounded soldiers – all of that came from the same source. She even learned how to knit after Andrei mentioned how calming it was for him to watch the old nannies knitting socks. All of Natasha’s thoughts, her movements, the skills appearing from nowhere in this young countess, were directed to one purpose only: helping Andrei in the best way possible.
At the same time, Natasha’s love for entertainment, pleasure, and her desire to be liked, to sparkle, to charm – all of this is also typical for Ignatia amara.
Another feature of Ignatia amara, so clearly and beautifully characteristic of Natasha, is sincerity. Natasha is sincere in all the movements of her soul, in her long and serious reflections, when she has no mercy on herself, analyzing and criticizing her actions strictly and impartially. She is sincere in her affec-tions and aversions. She is sincere with everybody.
Further, deep and strong emotional experiences, to the degree of mental and physical exhaustion, are typical for Ignatia Amara. Remember how deeply Natasha suffered after her first unsuccessful escape with Anatol, due to his betrayal and meanness, and later, the death of Count Andrei. Her sufferings were so strong and profound that she became mentally and physically exhausted; in both cases she became seriously sick and estranged herself from life. In addition, all of this happened regardless of her appetite for life, her easy and joyful perception of the world.
Summarizing the given features and characteristics, the author came to the conclusion that he would have given such a patient a constitutional remedy of Ignatia amara.
From the novel Carmen, the author has selected 146 episodes describing Carmen’s personality and actions. The author has chosen homeopathic remedies for each of these 146 charac-teristics, and then determined frequency of occurrence for the chosen remedies.
As a result of occurrence calculations, three leading home-opathic remedies have been determined:
Name Frequency of Occurrence
Ignatia amara 80
Hyoscyamus niger
55
N. vomica 54
Along with calculations of occurrence frequency of Ignatia amara in the given episodes, the author has made a homeopathic analysis of characteristic features described in the novel.
Carmen and Natasha Rostova are characterized by quick reactions, spontaneity, mood changes. However, if in Natasha this marks a transition from happiness to sadness, in Carmen it may be a sharp turn from vigorous gaiety to dark gloominess and vice versa.
Carmen is hasty, unbalanced, and hysterical, which also belongs to the pathogenesis of Ignatia amara. Carmen’s amorousness and inconsistency in love are also characteristic of Ignatia amara. Her perfidies with people, her inclination to lie, as well as her ability to betray without a second thought are also pathogenetic for Ignatia amara.
Carmen embodies a free spirit – a constitutional feature of Ignatia amara.
Finally, Carmen’s attitude toward life and death, are also characteristic for Ignatia amara. She easily plays with her own and other people’s lives.
Some other features of Carmen’s personality, developed in the given episodes, are also typical for Ignatia amara.
Having had considered all Carmen’s constitutional features, including her looks and sensuality, the author came to the conclusion that all of them fit the pathogenesis of Ignatia amara.
Thus, the results of the author’s homeopathic comprehension of these images and the results of remedy occurrence frequencies have proven the constitutional similarity of both heroines – Natasha Rostova (before marriage) and Carmen. It should be although noted that Natasha and Carmen are not only strikingly different from each other, but are also antipodes in many respects.
However, the range of constitutional characteristics of Ignatia amara pathogenesis is so broad (it being a multi-profile reme-dy) that both heroines are typical for Ignatia amara.
In conclusion, the author finds it extremely interesting to analyze the Natasha’s metamorphosis after her marriage, the changing of her personality into that of a wife and a mother. This change is absolutely unusual and unique and takes place in her physical, moral and spiritual appearance after her marriage. We should leave the question of the possibility of such metamorphosis up to the great writer. Considering his outlook on a woman’s role in the family and his complicated relationship with his wife, we have an interesting opportunity to analyze this period of Natasha’s life. As a result of such analysis, the author could link the ‘new’ Natasha with the Calcium carbonicum type. As a rule, Calcium carbonicum types are overweight and somewhat phlegmatic people. They are indifferent in the way they dress and style their hair, the way they look, and some times they are just sloppy. Tolstoy describes Natasha after marriage as full-figured woman, with a calm, clear face that never showed her soul, that “fire of emotions, her main charm”. Natasha did not in any way look after her manners, her dress code. She could spend the whole day in a robe, all messed up and untidy.
Calcium carbonicum types do not need company or acquaint-ances; they are quite satisfied with their family circle. They are also indifferent to entertainment; all of their interests are within their families.
Tolstoy repeatedly emphasizes that the married Natasha did not like social life, and “the high society was not satisfied with her… she was neither charming, nor amiable”.
“All her spiritual forces were addressed to her husband and to her family”, and she pursued no interest in anything else. The meaning of her life was now “to bear, to give birth, to feed” and to serve her husband; once he expressed any wish, she threw herself to fulfill it.
In addition, indifference and even disgust toward mental work and meaningful conversations are characteristic of Calcium carbonicum. All of this could be fully attributed to Natasha. She was not interested in science, the arts, or politics. Neither did she realize Pier’s business clearly. Nikolai said about her, “Natasha is amazing. How she keeps Pier under her shoe and whenever reasoning comes up – she uses his words only…”
Another feature of the Calcium carbonicum type is jealousy. Remember how continuously and absurdly she was jealous of Pier with all women, how she tried to limit his social circle, to make him “hers, and hers only”.
Calcium carbonicum type people are often boring, dull, and the new Natasha could not be other than that, since all her interests were limited to the nursery room. Flashes of anger, illustrated by examples from the novel, are also typical.
Finally, greed is often typical for Calcium carbonicum, which also fits the description of the new Natasha.
Thus, the constitutional remedy for the married Natasha, according to the author’s opinion, is Calcium carbonicum.
The exact coincidence of objective and subjective methods of determination of constitutional remedy is considered by the author as a new and interesting proof of potential possibilities of Homeopathy.
