    Stiva’s relationship with Dolly suggests the incomplete relationship between Karenin and Anna. The Oblonskys’ problems only seem lighter because of the double standard: It is less serious for a husband to stray than for a wife‚ since family unity depends on the woman. Tolstoy shows us that men’s primary interests are outside the home‚ whereas women‚ like Dolly‚ center their existence on the family. Stiva‚ Vronsky‚ and Karenin‚ unlike Levin‚ divide their lives sharply between their homes and amusements

In the film‚ Joan is shown having Mother Babette‚ a nun she met at Vaucouleurs‚ accompany her throughout her travels‚ but‚ in reality

    Joan of Arc The Inquisitor speech towards Saint Joan is one of persuasion that uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos‚ logos and pathos to create the image of a damned vile creature in place of Joan‚ while convincing the clerics themselves to “feel” it is acceptable to condemn her soul. Knowing that the jury might look upon Joan with sympathy‚ he finds a way to create a pre-emptive attack to manipulate the way in which jury members will first look upon Joan.
