How does this body paragraph look? I feel like I made mistakes writing it..anything wrong?
Marc and Chantel are exposed to each others identities quite a bit, which is expected of a couple. Even though they knew each other, throughout the novel in their imaginations they see a different person. I think that these imaginations are dreams they are having of each other. One example of this is when Chantel’s former sister in law comes over and tells him how Chantal used to call her former husband “mousie.“ Jean-Marc drifts into a world of imagination. He connects this with the fact that Chantal is not telling him about the unknown worshipper’s letters. “That Chantal is unfamiliar; that Chantal is not the woman he loves; that Chantal is a simulacrum” (Kundera, 113). Jean-Marc is dreaming and wanting a better relationship with the woman he loves.
