Look at this: "[Tereza] views the body as 'dark,' because when Tereza thinks about her mother and all the bad stuff she did like pass gas and walk around the house naked while laughing, she looks in the mirror and that's what she sees -- her mother. I believe that Tereza views the soul as 'light' because when she looks in the mirror and her soul would come forth 'spreading out over the deck, waving at the sky and singing in jubilation,' she realized that the soul was her own individuation, but the eternal return lay in her because her mother forever lived in her, and she was reminded of that every time she looked in the mirror. In the end Tereza stared in the mirror to remind herself that her body is not her soul and that in this dark there is a light that is her own."
I am beginning to live again.
