Wit (2001); a case where the art of caring appears blurrys
Abstract
As proficient as few in John Donne’s metaphysical sonnets and the intricate twists of life and death, Vivian Bearing must confront an advanced ovarian cancer. Immersed in an academic life marked by pivotal achievements throughout her existence, the disease breaks out untimely moving her from that comfort zone to the field of uncertainties where facts are governed by arranges external to our goals and rational judgements. As a physical and mentally painful learning, the protagonist is becoming aware of her illness, the disappointing way physicians deal with her, in parallel to reviewing decisions taken throughout her years, and the relationship with people. Also, the hard lesson of beginning to realize that when facing the most transcendental instance of human life, the theoretical background and its more sophisticated logic become insufficient.
