Hell And Woman: A Modern Madame Bovary, A Seductive Wise Woman And The Eternal Question - Is The God Of Love Dead?

We have the choice to approach betrayal, love and the illuminations from suffering with the perspective similar to what Newtonian physics provide when we examine nature or, we can expand the radius and inspect these under the microscope of quantum and the telescope of astrophysics. Neither perspective is wrong. But, if you are like me, you'll find the latter much more elegant! Helena is an ordinary modern woman whose circumstances guide her into extreme choices. Frivolity, more or less, is an aspect of Time and we all indulge in it. But let us not dwell on Helena's misdemeanours. I urge you, instead, to explore Diotima. Her name is not entirely obscure. Socrates claims she taught him everything he knows about love. Deity and mortal, faced with circumstance Diotima imposes clarity, discipline and a stunning, elegant order against appearances with tenets beyond our normal and rather susceptible, narrow-scope consciousness.
