Question
This character’s brother growls that she only repeats “sayings” after an argument in which she defends her husband’s praise of the Tugendbund secret society. The narrator adopts this character’s disoriented perspective to describe rapturous applause for the singer Duport, an audience of bejeweled, “semi-nude” women, and a set made of painted cardboard in a chapter set at the opera. While Uncle plays a dusty guitar, this character amazes her wolf-hunting companions by instinctively performing a traditional (*) shawl dance in a scene that titles a “cultural history” by Orlando Figes (“FIDGE-iz”). This woman’s future husband associates her with a comet he sights after Princess Marya saves her from eloping with the libertine Anatole Kuragin. For 10 points, name this one-time fiancée of Andrei Bolkonsky, a member of the Rostov family who marries Pierre Bezhukov in Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace. ■END■
