The Unbearable Lightness of Being, the final


I finished my first but certainly not least Kundera's book and even now, after more than a week, I'm happy and positive as if I had made the acquaintance of a new friend. Perhaps the truth is simply that I did p ace with myself about certain doubts that have recently I head for blending too.

Kundera was able to speak to my soul, his book has called me just as he was the right time for me to read it. If Hesse speaks to the girl who is still in me, Kundera speaks to the woman I am.

Needless to say that the figure of Sabina shocked me, making me discover corners of my character that already existed but certainly not yet found a thread that would unite, while Tomáš and Tereza helped to enrich. If it is a bit Sabine 'my mirror, these other two characters I have suggested another direction giving me courage, strength, confidence and above all, serenity.

There are many interpretations on The Unbearable Lightness of Being, many speak of the need for unity between light and heavy soul. Others speak of the inability to analyze and create a scientific experiment in humanity because einmal ist keinmal , which is what occurs once (Einmal) is as if nothing had ever happened (Keinmal). All these factors certainly fair and respectable.

But what to me than the book gave an analysis on the concepts of heaviness and lightness: Tomas is a free man early novel, one that many women and who also Tereza, important that the doctor refuses to become part of the repressive communist system and is consequently also heroic as well as fascinating. Tereza is instead the woman waiting, the woman who suffers, the woman who feels her man's hair in the scent of sex that he has just done with other women, but that says nothing. You the woman who gives up, that happen to be able to take pictures but do not even try for that talent a true passion. The one who returns to Prague occupied renouncing Swiss neutrality.
But who is really light, and what it means to be light?

The answer is by Kundera himself at the end of the novel:

While dancing she said: "Tomas, all the evil in your life comes from me. Because you came in my way here. So down you can not go. "
Tomas said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What is this so low?"
"If we stayed in Zurich, you now operate your patients."
"And you would fo tografie".
"E' un parallelo stupido" disse Tereza. "Per te il tuo lavoro rappresentava tutto mentre io posso fare qualsiasi cosa, mi è del tutto indifferente. Io non ho perso nulla. Tu hai perso tutto".
"Tereza" disse Tomáš "non ti sei accorta che qui sono felice?".
"La tua missione era operare" disse.
"Tereza, una missione è una cosa stupida. Io non ho nessuna missione. Nessun uomo ha una missione. Ed è un sollievo enorme scoprire di essere liberi, di non avere una missione".

Tereza è libera, libera di amare e di crearsi una nuova strada, libera di chiudere tutti i vestiti e libri in una valigia e dirottare la sua vita nelle braccia di Tomáš. Questi invece è ossessionato dal suo man tra Es muss sein , il "deve essere", un deve pesante e ingombrante che gli impedisce di apprezzare ciò che veramente ha di bello e importante intorno. Tomáš deve operare, Tomáš deve andare a letto con una moltitudine di donne anche dopo aver incontrato la persona con la quale finalmente riesce a svegliarsi nello stesso letto.

E 'is the dominant Tereza, Tomas is that you can not leave her, she does not want to do it. Tomáš wait, wait, that Tereza finally take him to the country and there, finally, he can free of 'Es muss sein . Missions are stupid, they are an obstacle to freedom. Freedom to live, to love. What then is the same thing.
