Prince Stiva Oblonsky: Likable Lady's Man, or Conceited Pollyanna?

Ladies love him, his friends envy him, his servants fawn over him, and his governesses, well, let's just say they can't resist him...but, what about you? Do you find Stiva an amiable representative of a quaint aristocracy, or do you resent the hypocriticalness/irony of a liberal Russian prince in the 1870s?
