really liked it

" 'What is it all for?' Nekhlyudov asked himself, but, more than ever, he felt that sensation of moral nausea turning into physical nausea which overcame him when he visited the prison; and he could find no answer to his question. "

Prince Dmitri Nekhlyudov finds himself as a jurist for a murder trial. One of the accused is Maslova, whom he seduced and abandoned when he was young. Cue Tolsoyan spiritual crisis.

Very Tolstoy. Very goody-good. Private property is bad. Live to serve your neighbour. The law is created by the elite to maintain the status quo. Man has no right to punish other men. Exile to Siberia serves no use, in fact, it plunges men into conditions which promote immorality.
