I'm reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, long but great book. The book also has some great battle scenes, which I didn't expect. It's set mostly in Russia during the Napoleonic Wars. SPOILERS of a subplot below, if you decide to read the book one day:
The character in question is Pierre Bezukhov. He's smart, but fat, ugly, probably aspergy, and has zero social graces, but also happens to be the illegitimate son of a count. When the count dies, he inherits the title. He's arranged to get married to the wealthy, extremely slutty, and possibly incestuous Helene, even though she's unattracted to him. After they marry, she states she doesn't want to have kids (a slut tell that applies to this day). Helene is a slut married to an unattractive awkward man, and unsurprisingly she has an affair with a soldier, a lively outgoing Chad by the name of Dolokhov.
At a party, Dolokhov is being a loud overbearing alpha Chad. Meanwhile, Pierre suspects that she's having an affair. After Dolokhov makes a toast "to all the ladies and their lovers", Pierre (by this time drunk) has enough and challenges Dolokhov to a duel. The duel is scheduled for the next day, and Pierre already considers himself a dead man, as he has no military training and Dolokhov is a soldier. Pierre goes through with it, shows up, nervously fires, in a stroke of luck, hits Dolokhov first. Dolokhov fires back but is wounded and misses Pierre. After the duel, Helene denies the affair (of course), they trade a few words back and forth, and Pierre, in a fit of rage, violently lashes out at Helene. They then split ways. Dolokohov is injured but survives.
