 * ~ Stylistic Feature or Narrative Technique ||~ Quotation or reference to text illustrating this feature or technique ||~ Page Number(s) ||
 * < Point of View ||< ===== Tolstoy narrates the novel in such a way that the readers see both the facts of the novel and dialogue, as well as characters' thoughts. This allows the reader to see different sides of the characters as well as allowing us to see and understand things which the other characters could not. One example of this is when Levin proposes to Kitty. Kitty turns him down and Levin is left heartbroken, but the audience is aware that Kitty does have feelings for him but has unrelated reasons as to why she cannot marry him. ===== ||< Throughout ||
 * < Foreshadowing ||< =====Tolstoy uses this technique on a number of occasions. Firstly, we see this technique being used upon Anna's arrival in Part one of the novel. Here, a man dies at the train station and Anna calls it a "bad omen". This is Tolstoy's way of showing that bad things are to come. Again, this technique is used at the horse races when Frou Frou is shot. This again foreshadows events that are to come.===== ||< 60, 182 ||
