In Book 4 of Anna Karenina, Anna's husband, Alexei Karenin, is increasingly torn between his desire to forgive his wife's infidelity and his need to uphold his honor and reputation. He considers divorcing Anna, but is reluctant to do so because it would mean giving up his son, Seryozha. Meanwhile, Anna and Vronsky continue their affair, but their happiness is overshadowed by the social ostracism they face.
