Pierre Bezukhov
Karatáev
Location:
From Vyázma to Dorogobúzh
From Vyázma the French army consolidates to a single column, down from three. At Dorogobúzh, some of Pierre's fellow prisoners escape, only to be recaptured and shot.
The prisoners are down from more than three-hundred to less than a hundre due to poor conditions, starving, and being shot if they lagged behind.
Pierre philosophises that there is little difference between the unhappiness between someone sleeping on a bed of rose petals with a crumpled petal, and his own unhappiness at sleeping on a cold, hard ground.
Karatáev gets the same fever that he had in Moscow, and it seems like he will die soon.
