Nikolay Levin
His poor older brother, whose illness and misery he cannot bear to look upon, and whose death causes him metaphysical shocks when confronted with its reality.
Aleksey Vronski
His enemy, who snatched away his wife Kitty; he detests Vronsky's lifestyle, yet feels cheapened by his comfortable self-confidence.
Kiti Şçerbatskaya
His pure-hearted beloved wife, who carries the meaning of his life, whom he worships like a goddess, and who tolerates all of his awkwardness.
Stepan Oblonski (Stiva)
His sincere friend, with whom he enjoys spending time and who calms him down, despite his criticism of Stiva's moral indifference.
Sergey İvanoviç Koznişef
His older brother, whom he feels has always belittled him due to their differing opinions, and whom he inwardly resents for his artificial intellectualism.
