At the beginning in that novel, a man killed himself on a track when a train was coming; Anna saw it. Tolstoy knew how to kill Anna.
Anna was depressed and eventually was a little crazy when her life had changed without a husband, lover or a son.
Going back to the beginning of the novel, she would always remember that day. It is part of the brain problems.
