Written assignment. In Milan Kundera's “Unbearable Lightness of Being,” the relationship between Tomas and Tereza is not proportional: one is directly opposite to the other. As explained in the book through the eternal return of Friedrich Nietzsche and the explanation of the opposition between lightness and weight. Tomas, who is a surgeon based in Prague, was married to a woman who bore him a son. But, after two years of divorce, he was denied custody of his son and they went their separate ways. The divorce had psychological effects on him because he started treating women differently. Become a womanizer with some basic rules of three: “Either see a woman three times in a row and then never again, or maintain the relationship over the years but make sure the dates are at least three weeks apart.” Tomáš later married a young woman called Tereza. She is quite the opposite of Tomas, humble, respectful and loyal, but many would consider her naive. Even after marrying her he continues to practice adultery. Once again, trying to be philosophical about sex, Tomas argues that sex and love are two separate and unrelated entities. In the book the author says: “Make love to a woman and sleep... middle of paper... don't drink anymore because alcohol is illegal in Saudi Arabia. Secondly, and more importantly, he doesn't sleep with other women, so we will have to stay with Tereza and, by hook or by crook, treasure it. Well, if Tomas was always there for her, then she wouldn't need Karenin. After all, dogs are shunned as unclean and can only be used for guarding and hunting, but not as pets. Tomas' frustration builds up and he decides to become Muslim. At this point he will be able to legally marry a Muslim woman. Eventually, he could marry up to three more women. This would give him the opportunity to practice the rule of three. But he will have to break the rule that sex and love are different because in this case they are all his wives and both are an integral part of the marital agreement. Conversely, it might be effective for some time, but it would be effective in the long term?
