Lightness
Tomas

• His definition is very different than Tereza's.
• Living his life like it will come (like and actor going cold ESTEBAN 2007)
• Gets what he wants when he wants it.
• He doesn't overwhlem himself.
• Tereza is his gravity and keeps him down on earth (He's a floating feather)
• Very literal.
• His soul and his body are one becuase he doesn't see the duality between them.
• Tereza is Tomas' taste of reality.
• Tomas is always moving from Tereza's world form his own world (which is musch more simple and light)
• Tomas doesn't hold on to anything.
  
• He's going back to Nietzche's theories (eternal return, memory being a instrument to put weight on things)
