paulo coelho veronika decides to die review

She finds that every second of her existence is a choice between living and dying, and at the eleventh hour emerges more open to life than ever before. In the heightened state of life’s final moments, Veronika discovers things she has never really allowed herself to feel before: hatred, fear, curiosity, love, and sexual awakening.

To her surprise, Veronika finds herself drawn to the confinement of Villete and its patients, who, each in his or her individual way, reflect the heart of human experience. The story follows Veronika through the intense week of self-discovery that ensues. While the overdose didn’t kill Veronika immediately, the medication has damaged her heart so severely that she has only days to live. Naturally Veronika is stunned when she does wake up at Villete, a local mental hospital, where the staff informs her that she has, in fact, partially succeeded in achieving her goal. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. So, on the morning of November 11, 1997, Veronika decides to die. Inside her is a void so deep that nothing could possibly ever fill it.

Finally I want to remind myself and you of one important ayat of the quran karim displaying this meaning: “On the Day that they see the (Punishment) promised them, (it will be ) as if they had not tarried more than an hour in a single day” surat alahqaf ayat 35.Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything she could wish for: youth and beauty, plenty of attractive boyfriends, a fulfilling job, and a loving family. Thank you again R.K for your initiative which stimulate my brain and let me, even for just one moment, contemplate my life. All of us have just a short moment to live but the most interesting is to extract the word “much” from this following question and instead of saying “how much do we live? ” we have to say “how do we live?”

Therefore, if 950 years is just a short moment, according to the prophet Noah, that means that all of us live the story of veronica who expected to die in one week.Ī week of veronica is just a signification it can be 30, 50, 80 or even 100 years which refer to our ages. I entered through one door and I left through the other “. The prophet Noah, who lived more than 950 years, said when he was about to die: “I saw this life on Earth like a house with two doors. You were right when you said, in your personal thoughts, that Life is a short journey. it has really whetted my appetite to read this novel. Thank’s a lot dear R.K for your abstract.
