Hi, need to submit a 2500 words essay on the topic Pierre Bezukhov and Prince Andrej Bolkonsky: Character Comparison.

While seemingly naïve, Tolstoy’s outlook enabled the author to look deeper at the roots of social malaise than any of his contemporaries could.

War and Peace, the renowned masterpiece by Tolstoy, is likewise, for all its superficially historical character, dedicated to the subject of ‘eternal questions’ that, in Tolstoy’s opinion, each person should face in his/her life. While the issue of war and peace (as the novel itself is entitled) features prominently in the author’s reflections – and, fittingly enough, was made the central one in the movie serialization that we dealt with in this course, – Tolstoy did not limit the plot and the characters to the discussion of militarism/pacifism as such. For him, the other issues were at stake as well – such as the problem of the sense of life itself, or that of the relationship between individual and society.

The characters selected for the analysis and comparison within the framework of this paper are those of Pierre Bezukhov (played by Alexander Beyer) and Prince Andrej Bolkonsky (Alessio Boni). Both of these figures embody the different aspects of personality and experiences of the author himself. through them, Tolstoy sought to express his view on the 19th-century Russian aristocracy and the society at large (Holbrook 135). Therefore it is useful and necessary to compare them with each other, as well as to draw a conclusion on different rendering that the characters under consideration experienced in the literary and movie version of the plot.

Andrej Bolkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov: Two Young Rebellious Aristocrats. It is instrumental to bear in mind that Tolstoy’s characters that we are dealing with are deeply uneasy about the society they live in.&nbsp.&nbsp.
