the lost honour of katharina blum - heinrich boll

comment:

i just finish this book straight off today. this book made me to think all the remarks on people lives caused by the misintepreting events by the media. katharina blum in this case was one. everything was looking good in her lives until she fall in love with someone radical, ludwig gotten. the media, mention here as the "news" had its own interpretation on her situation. making things as a big scandal. it's not only affecting her lives but also the people that care and close to her. katharina was pushed into such supressing situation that led into her to shot dead the "news" journalist. ironic huh? it also reminds me with the quote on madame dasima "to fall in love with someone you are not supposed to". can love be so wrong?
