Vanity! he grieved deeply in his heart, with that king who had achieved/accomplished everything in life

Et forslag: Vanity! He moaned deep within his heart, like the king, who has obtained all in his life. Vanity, all is vanity. ( The holy bible, King James version )

Mit forslag er at lade referencen stå mellem parenteserne.....hvis du synes det er nødvendigt :)

"The story isn't about the feast any more than "Casablanca" is about a city in Morocco. The story is about sacrifice and friendship and honor. Many characters in this film make difficult choices during their lives, and although you don't necessarily see regret over and over, you can plainly see silent reflective thoughts about "what might have been"."

So what could a general, the "king of kings" regret? The feast offers an opportunity for him to show and share love:

"The great problem of the story arises when the sisters and their community become apprehensive about the risk to their religiosity that may be posed by a gourmet meal. Hence, they all agree to eat the meal without taking any pleasure in the feast. Their resolve becomes unraveled when the nephew of one of the community members, a general who has seen much of the world, including Paris, is invited to the feast of 12 guests. (...) The feast is resolved with all the community members being warmed to appreciate one another, the general revealing that Babette was the greatest woman chef in Paris, and the discovery that Babette spent her entire winnings on buying the means to offer the feast."
