The desire for writing, remembering and laughing is constituted in the minds of human beings who are in a quest for the survival of their souls against the ceaseless lack of being

I will examine Kundera?s book, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting by using the reader?s response theory, which is an important tool in literature. Reader?s response theory focuses on the reader or audience and their experiencing of a literary work. It is the study of how we feel as we read a literary work, what literature aims to do, how literature affects us morally, or how we perceive the world described by the writer.Then I will elaborate on Psychoanalysis of Forgetting, Laughter and Writing with respect to `Reaction to death of the Soul?. I claim that remembering, laughter and writing are the reactions, the weapons of the people who are oppressed and unhappy. The soul desires unity and stability. This desire creates the urge to become a whole being in harmony with the universe. This is a process which can never be completed but people have always tried and will always try to fill that emptiness which `lack of being? causes.. I aim to explain some concepts and express my ideas about the argument which I have mentioned earlier.I will analyse and interpret different uses of language, like metaphor, metonymy, variation, polyphony, parataxis, syntaxis and repetition in order to support my thesis which is based on psychoanalysis through language. I will support my ideas with references to what I believe are in harmony with my comprehension. I am not going to dispute the supremacy of my comprehension to my references which point to the interpretation of my thesis.
