As with Kundera's other books (the joke, identity etc) he asks serious questions with a very humorous manner. He questions the existence of God, and religion in general. He also asks less serious questions such as whether there is a difference between blondes and brunettes -
"Do you think there is a difference between blondes and brunettes? Asked Bertlef, visibly sceptical about Dr. Skreta's experience with women.
