Characters Present:
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
Prince Nesvítski
The wife of a doctor of the Seventh Chaussers
A woman-beater soldier
General Kutúzov
Location:
Near Hetzelsdorf
Bolkónski leaves Brünn and seems to ride for some time until he comes across a disheveled and disorderly Russian army on the high road near Hetzelsdorf. The road is clogged and he comes across a soldier on a cart whipping a woman trying to get past. Bolkónski makes the soldier stop with some stern words and feels dismayed with the quality of the Russian army in general.
He comes across an empty looking house in which to rest and finds Nesvítski. Kutüzov enters the house in a what can only be described as a tizwas and commands Bolkónski to accompany him, but to where, he does not say.
