Eat pray love Pt.2
Hello, assalammualaikum. Welcome back.
Just like what I've said before in my previous post. I'd like to continue the review of the 'Eat Pray Love' novel.
Just like in the previous post, this chapter also tells the reader about Eliz mental health condition.
Eliz wrote that, depression and loneliness track her down after about ten days lives in Italy. What I like about this chapter i, Eliz potrayed depression and loneliness just like a human. She potrayed depression as a Pinkerton Detectives, and loneliness as a sensitive cops.
They starts to ask several questions to Eliz, about why can't she keep the relationship going, why she ruined her marriage, why she messed things up with every man she've ever been with. And other lots of things.
And things getting more rough as She decided to stop the medication. Which is hard for someone who has several mental healt issues. Especially antidepressant.
Then, she starts to questioning why in the world it should be her to have depression??
Why? Is it psychological? Her Mom and Dad's fault? Or it just temporal? Is it genetic? Or cultural?
Eliz try to unthread the causes by questioning all the above. How ironic, a woman in her 30's with a lot of achievement, nice job, great career, but living a despair life because of depression.
And also on the next chapter, Eliz is tried to get busy by make a lot of friends. So She is met another Elizabeth from Rome. And also Elizabeth's husband who is an Italian. Elizabeth is a food writer. She write a lot about amazing and luxurious food from the entire Italy. With them, Eliz try a lot of Italian traditional food.
Not only Elizabeth and her husband. Eli also be friend with Dario from the same Tandem Language Exchange.
Each day by day, Eliz is improved her Italian language. She learns twenty new Italian words each day. She is indeed really feel in love with Italin language.
After each day turn into a months. Eliz gain a lot of weight, she can barely wear her jeans or pants. Its because She felt in love with Italian cuisines.
But thanks to that, she finally getting better from her depression. She finally free from it after all those hard times, and she decided to go to India.
So here it is for this week.
I'll comeback next week to tell you about Liz adventure in India.
See you.
Because in this novel discussing someone's mentality, I became interested in reading it because I wanted to compare it to the mentality that I had. Hopefully the novels that you review can be useful for others and can motivate themselves. Keep working!
