Unbearable Lightness of Being STRUCTURE Keyvious Avery

Background Milan Kundera, before studying literature, studied music and piano composition. Kundera describes his characters’ lives as music compositions: polyphonies forming a fugue. Polyphony: music with several melodies; musical composition that uses simultaneous, largely independent, melodic parts, lines, or voices

Fugue a contrapuntal composition in which a short melody or phrase (the subject) is introduced by one part and successively taken up by others and developed by interweaving the parts.

First Main Melody (subject) Eternal Return… Idea that events repeat themselves over and over Fugue… Melodies that simultaneously repeat themselves to form a harmony. The is the way Kendura themes Unbearable Lightness of Being… His themes are all related but different and unique.

Main Melody Answer Second Voice Subject Imitation Counter Subject Separate melody that enters occasionally with the answer.

Main Melody Answer Second Voice Subject Imitation Counter Subject Separate melody that enters occasionally with the answer. Eternal Return Lightness And Weight Kendura uses lightness and weight to tie in with eternal return by saying, “Life which disappears once and for all, which does not return is like a shadow, without weight.” (Harmonies that tie in with the answer) Body vs. Soul Associated with Light and Weight but cannot be independent. Example: Tereza is a heavy character and her conflict is between her body and soul.

Other Counter Subjects Include… Tereza’s Suitcase Tomas’ Promiscuity Sabina’s Bowler’s Hat Tomas and Franz’s political association es muss sien Variations of melodies.

Composer The ideas of the composer (Kendura) is stressed through the performers (his characters).

Composer The ideas of the composer (Kendura) is stressed through the performers (his characters). “Words Misunderstood”… Human lives are shaped like musical compositions. Example: Sabina’s life is described as a musical composition motif. “It repeats over and over again, each time with a different meaning.” This tells us that each character possess motifs and recurring ideas (subjects, answers, and counter arguments) in the composition if their lives.

Beethoven? Melody within two separate compositions forming a harmony.

The differences between them is too much so they call quits. (2 unlike compositions)… 2 unlike compositions cannot harmonize together to form one Fugue.

“Karenin’s Smile” Another discussion of Eternal Return. Thomas and Tereza Common Motif The Dog, Karenin Karenin was compared to the Garden of Eden, remaining at peace with the day to day cycle/ life of Tereza and Tomas. The Karenin developed cancer… his life went in a linear direction, never to repeat again and again, grew depression and stopped smiling. Karenin was the instrument/ player that couldn’t keep up.
