Anna --- remarkably beautiful and delicate, but with an unmistakable inner strength and confidence; marries for security; flirts despite herself; wrecks her family, and abandons her son, in the pursuit of a burning passion; is the first of the lovers to suffer the insecurity that comes from requiring each other to give up so much (she her family, he his social life and career); the insecurity begins to eat at her; does Vronsky still love her? Does he wish they'd never met? She feels guilt about her son; is disgusted when her husband forgives her; she does not want to be forgiven; her relationship with Vronsky can no longer survive under the weight of what they've given up; she throws herself in front of a train.
SU, why do you think you're a cross between Vronsky and Anna?
Adieu.
