She was a prostitute sentenced to hard labor, and, despite this, she formed a worldview for herself in which she could approve of herself and even be proud of her position. This worldview was that the main benefit of all men, without exception, was sexual intercourse with attractive women.

He felt that he had to awaken her spiritually, that it was terribly difficult; but the very difficulty of this matter attracted him.

Kolosov, having drunk vodka, wine, liqueur, was a little drunk, not as drunk as men who rarely drink are drunk, but as drunk as people who have made a habit out of wine. He did not stagger, did not say nonsense, but was in an abnormal state of excitement and satisfaction with himself.

Missy really wanted to get married, and Nekhlyudov was a good match. In addition, she liked him, and she accustomed herself to the idea that he would be hers (not she would be his, but he would be hers), and she, with unconscious but persistent cunning, such as happens to the mentally ill, achieved her goal.

When Nekhlyudov thought, read, talked about God, about truth, about wealth, about poverty, everyone around him considered it inappropriate and partly funny; when he read novels, told obscene jokes, went to the French theater to see funny vaudeville shows and cheerfully recounted them, everyone praised and encouraged him.

He stopped believing himself and began to believe others. He stopped believing himself, and began to believe others because it was too difficult to live, believing himself: believing himself, every question must be resolved not in favor of his animal self, looking for easy joys, but almost always against him; trusting others, there was nothing to decide, everything had already been decided, and it was always decided against the spiritual and in favor of the animal self.

Then he was an honest, selfless young man, ready to give himself to any good deed; now he was a depraved, refined egoist, loving only his own pleasure.
