Pierre Bezukhov marries Helene Kuragina who is unfaithful to him, resulting in their separation, further causing him to join the Freemasons that influences his personal and professional fortunes.

He rejects her, and Pierre consoles her, eventually falling in love with her. The lives of these characters become even more complex as the story progresses.
