Characters Present:
Prince Andrew Bolkónski
General Kutúzov
General Weyrother (moved into the position of the now deceased General Schmidt)
Other high ranking officers
Location:
A nobleman's castle near Austerlitz
General Weyrother goes to a war council at a nobleman's castle that General Kutúzov has appropriated to give a presentation on battle strategies for the following day.
Kutúzov sleeps noisily through the whole presentation, and the other officers cannot agree as to whether the strategies will be effective or not. Weyrother notes that the battle should be a doddle, because Napoleon only has 40,000 men left.
Prince Andrew Bolkónski tries give his opinion but everyone ignores him. After the meeting, he spends some time contemplating his mortality, and we learn that he did love his wife, at first.
