Identity

Brief Overview

The novel «Identity» by Milan Kundera delves into the complex relationship between Chantal and Jean-Marc, who face a crisis of identity and misunderstanding. Chantal feels invisible and insecure about her attractiveness, leading to internal doubts and a search for validation. Jean-Marc, on the other hand, tries to understand and support her, but his efforts often result in further alienation. Through their interactions, Kundera explores themes of love, loneliness, perception, and self-identity, illustrating how easily one can lose themselves in a relationship and how difficult it is to restore lost connections.
