Sometimes a thought left over from a reading kind of just sits there in your brain and I’ve been thinking again about Kundera’s ending.
Yes, the knowledge of Tomas and Tereza’s mode of death somewhere early in the novel left us waiting to come to that point and since the story leaves off with them alive and well, there are some thoughts as to its meaning, such as those I entertained in the previous post on this.
Or, there could be no meaning at all, but I think that Milan Kundera is too organized as to what he wants to say to do that.
What it might be doing is in fact confirming the notion of "the unbearable lightness of being" in that whether they live or die at this point doesn’t matter; that is the very essence of "lightness."
