My favorite character was Stiva Oblonsky - a venial, likeable type who realizes that there is a great deal of absurdity in the world and is comfortable with it. Vronsky was also not so bad. I think Anna comes off as the great villain of the story. It's really a great foil to Madame Bovary.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
