From the time of early 20th century novel has become more oriented towards the inquiry into human existence. This existential investigation has revealed the brutal reality of the steady decrease of the horizon of individual autonomy. Kundera in The Unbearable Lightness of Being time and again explains the discrimination of individual by the totalitarianism which follows its own determination. If power has infiltrated to the central part of human life, what existential possibility is available there for man. Kundera tries to seize an existential dilemma: the powerlessness of man to graph his life. Tomas, the central character of the novel once divorced his wife to linger bachelor and march a life of liberty. Kundera presents the ambiguity of human life in a way that discloses absolute defenselessness of the human being. Since Tomas tries to administer his private life, he features a devil that comes from the external in the shape of Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Kundera appears to make the reader cognizant of the dictatorship of political supremacy, of the mortification and maltreatment it causes on the natives. Since his aim is with the individual and his existence, he comprises those historical details, images and symbols which can help him discover the existential quandary of man in a style of recitation he calls elliptic. Kundera’s characters are powerless and victims of Russian Invasion.
