Softness versus Weight Kunderas Persuasive Argument in The Unbearable Lightness of Being The Unbearable Lightness of Being is as quite a bit of a philosophical work as it is an anecdotal story, not following a run of the mill plotline. The tale incorporates various entwined plotlines encompassing various characters with similar occasions being described ordinarily from various characters' perspectives. Due to the non-ordered and non-straight nature of the work, it can't be broken into plot-driven stages. Or maybe, the work might be seen as an all-inclusive three-section enticing exposition of sorts with the creator, Milan Kundera, endeavoring to demonstrate his way of thinking of Gentility versus Weight.
