Kafka by the Sea is not a work that simply describes the growth experience of a 15-year-old boy. In a sense, it has already constituted an allusion and fable about the post-war Japanese national history.

Kafka is miserable and lucky after running away from home. Sadly, he can't escape the curse after all. He met Sakura on the road, and he thought she was like his sister. Later, when Kafka was in trouble, Sakura gave him warmth. In his dreams, he often had sex with her as the object of sexual desire. His father was killed by someone else, but he just fainted during that time, and his T-shirt was still stained with blood. When he woke up, he completely lost that memory. He suspected that he had killed his father himself. He met 4-year-old Saeki in the library. Saeki's physical events made him feel that she was his mother. Saeki regarded him as a lover who died when he was a child, and Saeki sleepwalked to have sex with him one night. Fortunately, he met his great benefactor-Oshima. Oshima not only gave him help in life, but also gave Kafka a lot of life thoughts by his just answer.

The eldest son of Saeki and Tamura was a childhood sweetheart. At the age of 15, the death of her lover prompted her to open the entrance stone, trying to stop time and keep her and her lover happy.

But fate played a trick on her. Her life entered a dead end at the moment when the entrance stone was opened. There was no hope, no enthusiasm, no sustenance, only a shell left, and she accepted the emptiness every day. Everything is meaningless to her. The only meaning of her survival is the painful memory, and the rest is waiting for death.

A person who lives by memory is lonely and empty, and time has lost its meaning in front of her, so it can be said that Saeki is actually dead. In the end, she entrusted Nakata to burn the diary, that is, burned her memory, burned her only proof in this world, and finally left the reality.

Saeki has been living in memories, and her body is only memories of the past. Some people have been living in the past and regard the past as a very important part of their lives. When this part is lost, people are only an empty shell. Therefore, too much obsession with lost things often leads people to lose themselves in the present. Everything can't be the same. Living in the present is the most important thing.

Nakata lost the other half of his soul, lost his memory and ability to read and write when he was a child, and worked as a carpenter for most of his life. Later, at the age of 3, he found a job to help others find cats. He killed Ka's father. Finally, he wanted to get back his original literate and ordinary Nakata. He chose death and rebirth. It is very easy to read the first part of the story of Huatian. He will talk to Cat Jun, and he will be easily satisfied. A delicious meal will do. He can't think about complicated problems, and when he thinks about them, he has a headache. He is so simple and simple. Fate brought him to a stone, and he wanted to find the other half of his soul. I don't know whether it was fate or Nakata's choice. After Hoshino found the stone, Nakata died quietly in his sleep.

Kafka doesn't seem to feel sad or sorry about his father's death. "As far as his true feelings are concerned, it's a pity that he didn't die earlier." Kafka grew up in an environment lacking love, and he became insensitive when facing death. This morbid indifference to the departure of his loved ones is one of the sources of human evil.

isn't the evil of war the contempt and trampling on other people's lives? Jonny Walker, the cat killer, is a spokesman for violence and war. He keeps killing cats in order to make a bigger flute and collect a bigger soul. The flute and the cat's soul here represent war and greed respectively. When he asked him to kill himself, but he didn't dare to do it, he told him that "the trick to ending people is not to hesitate." Deciding with great prejudice is the secret of killing people. " This further reveals the motives of war and atrocities.

As Haruki Murakami said in the preface of the book, "Kafka Tamura left home in an isolated state and devoted himself to the choppy adult world. There is no power to try to hurt him. Sometimes that kind of power is in reality, and sometimes it comes from outside reality. At the same time, many people are willing to save his soul. He was rushed to the end of the world and returned on his own. When he returned, he was no longer him, and he had entered the next stage. "

The tragic fate of young Kafka Oedipus finally came true, but at the same time he also fulfilled his promise of "becoming the most tenacious 15-year-old boy in the world" and returned to his hometown of Tokyo. The novel doesn't really explain what the meaning of living is. Maybe Kafka will find his meaning in the next stage of his life.

In this work, we can find out what we experienced in the process of growing up. Perhaps, as the author himself said, "Many parts of Kafkajun Tamura are me and you at the same time." No matter how illusory the storyline is, it is undeniable that Kafka by the Sea truthfully reveals the growing pains, helplessness, fear and curiosity, which is enough to arouse our emotion and * * *.
