It has a rape scene where two people are painted like flowers, but it’s told in a gut wrenching and horrid way that you realise it’s a comment on how rape is beautified by patriarchy, made to look sensual when it’s just a beastly savagery

i agreed greek lessons was sort of meh. i loved human acts though, would recommend it if you feel like giving her another chance.

???
Men don't see rape as anything but something raw and violent. It's pornographic women literature that romanticise it.

Women can belong to the patriarchy. That's what internalized misogyny is.

Han Kang rejects the male centric society that is obsessed with meat eating and male sexuality. When the main character rejects meat, a symbol of masculinity and male dominance, she is labelled a schizophrenic and anorexic. I think the general ethical stance of vegetarianism is aligned with the feminist refusal to accept violence or power.

I don't understand why the book is labeled "feminist" there is some negative aspects about how she gets force fed by her dad, raped by her husband and taken advantage of by a guy who is unable to see her mental illness. But it is more presented in a "all men are bad" way. Reading her other book Human Acts there are plenty of good male characters as well.

>>24557411
Or you cold just see it as a man only caring about her body and being so fixated on "the Mongolian mark" to not notice she is clearly mentally ill.

>>24558166
>she is labelled a schizophrenic and anorexic
She clearly is mentally ill. She does a handstand in the hall for hours and stops eating completely since she hopes to become a tree.

She won the nobel prize in literature. I hate this fucking board.

For the most part yes, especially in threads not made for literary analysis such as this.

Feminists are women who never got a good dicking in their life. The reason why submissive wife exist is because their husband dicked them good in the bed that it ended up rewiring their brain into thinking that the husband is their leader

I don’t know what you expected. This board barely churns out intelligible discussions on McCarthy or Pynchon these days. To believe posting this here would do anything but agitate the monkeys is silly.

He just gave a realist interpretation of the book. It’s not literary analysis as such. He takes everything at face value and pretends that’s profound.
