The brief period of political liberalization in Czechoslovakia.
Kundera defines kitsch as the "absolute denial of shit." It is the aesthetic ideal where all the unpleasant aspects of existence are ignored (e.g., political propaganda or overly sentimental art).
Not just pity, but the "co-sentiment" of feeling another's suffering. This is the "weight" that binds Tomas to Tereza.
The crushing of that freedom, which forces the characters to choose between exile, collaboration, or quiet resistance. If you want to dive deeper, I can focus on a specific area: The philosophy of Nietzsche and the "Eternal Return"
A successful surgeon and womanizer. He embodies "Lightness" but is constantly pulled toward "Weight" by his love for Tereza.
