Farewell Waltz

Style and Technique

In "Farewell Waltz," Milan Kundera employs an ironic and philosophical style characteristic of his work. The language is rich with metaphors and symbols, allowing a deeper understanding of the characters' inner worlds and their relationships. Kundera masterfully uses retrospection and internal monologue to reveal the psychological aspects of the characters. The narrative structure is nonlinear, emphasizing the complexity and multilayered nature of the plot. The author also actively uses dialogues, which not only advance the plot but also serve as a means for philosophical reflections and satirical observations. The work features a subtle play with themes of love, freedom, and morality, making it nuanced and profound.
