Part 1, Chapter 8
- Tereza continues to be haunted by dreams that symbolize her jealousy.
- One night she dreams of being clawed by cats, and we're told that in Czech slang the word for "cat" means "pretty woman."
- In another dream she and dozens of other naked women are marching around a swimming pool. Tomas stands in a basket hanging from the ceiling shooting orders at them to march and sing. When a woman doesn't obey his orders, he shoots her and she falls into the swimming pool.
- In yet another dream, Tereza is dead in a hearse, surrounded by other dead women who talk to her as though they are good friends.
