prince andrei

How did you feel about him at the end of war and peace? Were you satisfied with his "transformation"?

Personally, I felt the most invested in andrei as a character and would like to see how others felt about him.

I like Prince Andrei, too. Pierre is a little to scattered for my tastes. Nonetheless, the first epilogue, which ends with Andrei's son thinking about his father, is fantastic. Natasha has transformed into a dull, but very womanly mother. Pierre is much the same. But Andrei's son (Nicholas?) is a romantic and a dreamer -- very much like his father. Just as in Anna Karennina when Levin finds his future by creating a family, and Anna destroys her by breaking up a family, Andrei's immortality is realized in his son.
