ABSTRACT
Suicide is a leading cause of death around the world. Prior to Covid-19 suicide was the tenth overall leading cause of death in the United States, and the second overall amongst adolescents and young adults with a disproportiante impact on ethnic and social minority groups. Despite its unfortunate prevalence much remains to be learned about the underlying neurobiological factors implicated in death by suicide. From a psycho-social perspective, the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (Joiner, 2007; Van Orden et al., 2010) posits three necessary factors leading to suicidal desire and behaviours, namely thwarted belongingness, perceived burdensomeness, and an acquired capacity for self-injury. Given the universality of suicidal behaviours, this theory should be applicable across both cultures and eras. In this article I aim to apply the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide to one of the most famous literary deaths by suicide, that of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina.
