on page 76 Of M.S.F.M, Frankl quotes Nietzsche who says, "he who has a why to live can bear with almost any how" What does this statement mean? Explain how frankl was able to develop initial shock through apathy and to the cultivation to an inner world.

Past events

She looks to fill that void she lost in the past with Enno because in her marriage her husband abandoned her because he didn't feel like she loved him anymore. She tries to find love with the comfort of a male gigolo believing that this attention from man will make her feel wanted.

Sashe becomes traumatized by her losing her first child feeling that she has no reason to be happy anymore she tries to avoid her past by going to movies, taking walks, sitting by herself in cafe's

Drinking

Sasha is trying to forget her past by drinking alcohol and believing that is the answer to her problems but it only makes things worse

Her past makes it hard for her to have a successful present and that is the main reason she has no money

What caused sasha to drink is the pain of her past the abandonment of her husband enno, and the death of her infant child

SOLUTION

Her past thoughts overpower her mind as she has her date with the Gigolo but in a way she finds comfort while with him believing that she can find love and/or still have something for someone

MAIN CHARACTER

Sasha

PERSONALITY TRAITS

Unhappy-She feels like her past is so dark that her present can never be happy

Lazy-She has no Job, money and also has no initiative to find one as she leaves her store

Lonely-Feeling that she needs male attention just to feel important

Afraid-Of remembering her past that has hurt her for so long

Point of View

My overall interpretation of the book is that Sasha is trying to find meaning in the life that she lives, she feels like she has no purpose in this world her only purpose was fulfilled by her past experiences with her youthful Marriage and life/death of her child that is why the book is called good morning, midnight I believe she is embracing the night meaning the end of her life cause she feels like there is nothing else for her anymore, but the book does throw the reader for a cliff hanger because it takes place with Sasha and the gigolo in the room together while she tries on a blue dress in front of him the author says "Thank god, he doesn't say anything. I look straight into his eyes and despise another poor devil for a human being for the last time. For the last time... Then I put my arms around him and pull him down on the bed saying: Yes-yes-yes..." at the end of that quote many things can be implied about it was it sexual? was it happiness? did she find her purpose? as a reader's we do not know.
