You call it seduction and i call it comedy

.”A dying animal”.
I am reading phillip Roth. The novel is one of his works which are not that remarkable in literary world. But the 156 page novel has blown the innate doctrine of some ideas which has always form the core of my personal believes.
The moral dilemma western world faces with a revolution which is aimed at objectifying humans into desires and needs.
The whole game of mating masked in the sophisticated veneer of culture poetry and words. The story evolves around a 64 year promiscuous professor who ended up having an affair with a student who was 24 at that time and then suffers with cancer at the later stage of the novel.
There are no chapters in the novel and the narration is superb entwined with many other stories. Each creating a storm of thoughts and raising many philosophical questions related to the modern age.
The dilemma of modern woman, her independence, her experimentation with her own body in name of liberation.” she never loved me she never desired me she experimented with me” The desire, household and dating.
What is important in life? Companionship, security of house hold or desire.
Do we really love the person we desire at animal level? Is the game of mating called love?
Can words mask the bitter realities of life?
There are some quotes I am savoring on from the whole morning. It is one of the books I read in one go.A true pleasure for some one who has the courage to think and realize .
“His adultery is not adultery it is an arrangement”.
“I think you were whole love fractured you”.
“It was about puritan, make a great show of religion but no humanity”.
“Can I master the discipline of freedom as opposed to the recklessness of emotion”.
“who are the new people when you meet them? They are the same old people in masks. They have nothing new about them”.
“There is a heavy past clinging to the future”
“It was a human right issue, give me liberty or give me death”.
“Coupled life and family life bring out every thing childish in every one involve.”.

Even though phillip roth is depressing but reading him is mentally stimulating and is worth the time.
