[Get Solution] The Kreutzer Sonata

Argue whether Tolstoy believes man has no free will and is not capable of being an independent moral agent (free to make ethical choices). To what extent does the story show that social forces influence our choices and these forces win out over our own independent sense of what’s right and wrong. See Pozdnyshev’s explanation to the curious narrator as to why he murdered his own wife. To what extent does Pozdnyshev take responsibility for the murder? Who else shares guilt? (How convincing is Pozdnyshev’s explanation for how and why the murder happened?) PLEASE USE DIRECT QUOTES FROM THE NOVELLA AND COMPARE AND CONTRAST THE NOVELA TO THE 2008 MOVIE. ALSO USE AT LEAST 1 SCENE FROM THE MOVIE TO SUPPORT THE ARGUMENT THAT TOLSOY BELIEVES MAN HAS NO FREE WILL
