Assignment: 11/26/12

Think about and discuss in a comment the following questions about Dr. Zhivago:

1.What is this book really about?
2.What is love in this novel?
3.Whom does Yuri love the most? Tanya? Lara? Marina?
4.How does the political/historical landscape interweave with the story?
5.If we assume that Yuri is the protagonist of this novel, is there an antagonist?
6.Dr. Zhivago was refused publication in the USSR and Boris Pasternak had to refuse his Nobel prize in literature for it because of political pressure.  Why?
