Why does Anna Karenina kill herself? The answer seems clear enough: for years people in her world have turned away from her; she is suffering at the separation from her son, Sargodha; even if Trotsky still loves her, she fears for that love; she is exhausted with it, overexcited, unwholesome (and unjustly) jealous; she feels trapped. Yes, all that is clear; but is a trapped person necessarily doomed to suicide? So many people adapt to living in a trap! Even if we understand the depth of her sorrow, Anna's suicide remains an enigma.
