 Araby 남준표 7/10     Araby moved my heart. The boy’s perspective over crush is something familiar, something usual at our age. It could be a impure love of boy in our perspective, but to me, love the boy feels felt something pure. In contrast with the last scene in the story, boy acts himself to be in favor of Mangan’s sister. On the other hand, the other 2 men and a sales woman is love for one’s greed. In my opinion, real love, is something about sacrifice. One sacrificing oneself for each other, one who can rely in hard times is real love.       Love for greed is kind of a human society problem. In state of poverty, one would only be focusing on their survival. But as society grows, it gave us too much. We own more than we need, but we desire more. Each other benefiting for their greed. I’m not saying it is something bad. We all look for the most benefit for oneself.      Araby gave me a mixed feeling on the end, because it is a growing...

Maybe the lack of background informations takes a bug portion of this phenomena.     Korean short stories are mostly based on Japanese Imperialism Period, Gap between rich and the poor, old generation vs new generation. But Joyce gives us something slightly different. Corruption of Church, Death, pure vs impure, light, and even more. These unfamiliar things are obstacles making it harder to read. But, these obstacles gives us some points to think. Something more about the fundamentals. For example, about death. We don’t usually think of death as we normally live, but we always wonder what is beyond death. Joyce pulls themes familiar ...

 The lady with the dog 201043 남준표 1899/12     To me this story was rather boring as we are living in the 21st century. But to speak for the people who might have first read the kind of a story might have been felling weird, because it is something out of our common sense, like we don’t usually fall in love with person who is married, But at the same time, they would be so curious of how the story will progress. Me too, felt the same when I watched these types of Dramas. Also, the format, divided in many sections were interesting.      I focused on how the relation will lead on. First, the protagonist have stereotypes  toward woman. To me the relationship will tear down soon, and they will return to their life as it used to be. According to Martin Heidegger langeweile is a feeling we feel when we lose something. Thing we usually dont take a big care will change if you lose that, arousing the sense of emptyness. langeweile will be felt to the too people ...
