When that didn’t work, she tried being unfaithful herself. She knew when she started dating Tomas that he was unfaithful and tried to change him. I can compare Tereza to Oedipus more readily. Tomas is very aware of what he’s doing and that it’s wrong. How can we compare Tomas’s personal actions to the Oedipus story? His love affairs continued to happen well after he knew Tereza wanted monogamy and in turn hurt her, do you think this was an act that he could claim he didn’t know he was doing? Questions from Nicole: In part 5, we learn about Tomas’s article that he wrote comparing Oedipus to the Czech Communists. It only means we’re closer to Read Along #4! Be ready. So instead of stretching this Read Along into four parts, we’ve combined the last two and finished the book! Yep, it’s over. With the snow that’s pounded us here in Detroit, Nicole and I have had a lot more time inside to read than we normally do.
