Pierre Bezukhov

Personality:   Pierre Bezukhov is a count from Russia in the year 1812. He is warm, and has many revolutionary and revolution-related ideas. He is a bit of a misfit, but his kind demeanor makes it fairly easy for him to befriend others. He is 21 years old and 6ft 0.4in tall. Russians in the early 1800s spoke french more fluently than russian, and would speak with french accents. Some weren't even fluent in Russian. They would go by frenchified versions of their real names. (Personality) Pierre is described as the large-bodied, ungainly, and socially awkward illegitimate son of an old Russian grandee. (Story) in 1820 Pierre is a young man who has recently returned to Russia to seek a career after completing his education abroad. Although a well-meaning, kind hearted young man, he is awkward and out of place in the Russian high society in whose circles he starts to move. Pierre, though intelligent, is not dominated by reason, as his friend Prince Andrei Nikolayevich Bolkonsky is. His lack of direction leads him to fall in with a group of profligate young men like Anatole Kuragin and Dolokhov whose pranks and heavy drinking cause mild scandals. After a particularly outrageous escapade in which a policeman is strapped to the back of a bear and thrown into a river, Pierre is sent away from St. Petersburg. Pierre's life changes after he becomes the sole heir to his father's vast estate, and his position in society is changed from that of an illegitimate son to the new Count Bezukhov. His inability to control his emotions and sexual passions lead him into a marriage with the vapid but sensually beautiful Princess Hélène, a match which her self-serving father, Prince Vasily, sets up to secure his access to Pierre's newly acquired vast fortune. Hélène is not in love with Pierre, and has affairs. From jealousy, Pierre shoots her suspected lover, Dolokhov, in a duel. He is distraught at having committed such a crime and eventually separates from Hélène and then becomes a Freemason. His madcap escape into the city of Moscow and his subsequent obsessive belief that he is destined to be Napoleon’s assassin show his submission to irrational impulses.
