Women

[Didone]

Did women, at the time of Tolstoy, empathize themselves with Anna? or they condemned her?

Although we cannot know that for sure, because we haven't lived in those days :) , we can predict. My opinion is that they personally sympathize her; surely there were other womans who didn't like their husbands but they didn't have enough strength to leave him.
But; in public, they would condemn her. Society was too important to them and it would be dangerous to sympathize her in public. Their status and reputation would be seriously damaged, and that's the risk they can't take and the price would be too high. Anna was excluded from society, and they didn't want same thing for themselves.

in their minds and hearts, i would say, they sympathize her, but human nature is tricky, so publicly they were condemning her (It's just my personal opinion)
