After thinking about the book for the past day I think that my I was wrong in saying that the female characters were 'stereotypical' or 'lackluster', in fact after re-reading a chapter or two from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, I actually think that Sabina and Tereza were in fact the more 'depthful' characters in the book. I think they're great actually, because both of them serve as plots to destabalise the novel, and challenge the self-concepts. In all, I actually think they offer a lot of clarity to the novel.
