Characters Present:
Count Pierre Bezukhov
Platón Karatáev
Location:
Moscow
Pierre is taken to a dark shed, where he is confined with a number of Russian soldiers. Pierre has lost all sense of order in the universe since witnessing the murders by men who didn't want to commit them, and has even lost hope in God.
He is befriended by Platón Karatáev, who has such a kindly voice that it makes Pierre want to weep. Platón tells Pierre his life story, and gives Pierre some potatoes and salt to eat.
When Platón falls asleep, Pierre listens to the man's snoring, and begins to discover a new beauty in the universe.
