But she is saved and finds herself admitted into city mental hospital called ‘Villete’. So she commits suicide by swallowing multiple pills. She finds it meaningless to keep living the monotones existence with same days and nights, same job and same people around, same routine. You could cry, get worried or angry like any other normal human being, as long as you remembered that, up above, your spirit is laughing out loud at all those thorny situations.”ĪBOUT THE PLOT: At 22 years of age, Veronika decides to end her life. “ All you have to do is to keep your madness in control. So who actually is mad? One who is living the life of his/her liking or the one who kills his/her wishes to be normal in this world of rules and regulations? Well, you may find the answer to this question in Paulo Coelho’s ‘Veronica Decides to Die’ (VDTD). And we - so called normal people - on the other hand, suppress our desires, to bring our living in line with the norms set by the society. There are people who act and live in the way they really want, we usually call them mad. But the question is, can majority on the side of wrong, makes it right?. What is madness? Has it really got something to do with improper working of mind/brain? Or is it just a different viewpoint of thinking? When someone’s idea, of saying/doing something, doesn’t go well with the philosophy of vast majority’s way of saying/doing something, then, that idea is called as absurd and the originator of that idea is called as mad and the total act is called as madness.
