This is for all the procrastinators (like me) that have waited until now to think about this novel and how it relates to self for our essay. SO...
How does Murakami's "A Wild Sheep Chase" comment on self, and the effectuation of self?
Remember that the best responses are always balanced, insightful, and supported with yada yada stop reading this and start writing.

I think no one's want to answer this questions basically sums it up. Murakami states that we can't know self. It's a very PoMo thinking; that there are no universal truths. Our unwillingness to answer the questions just shows how the book doesn't have a straightforward answer and I think that was very much on purpose. He is stating we can't know what self is and we can never know. We all may have our own notions, like the Boss's secretary, but there is no right truth.

 Sooooo I wrote about this for AWSC...basically. Uh I think everyone will have different definitions for self in each book since different people take different elements away from the term "self". Also I feel weird since I put most of this directly in my essay so I don't know if I should keep it vague...Competition, you know Anyway I would say Murakami does this with the use of non-specific title for people as well as the never "ultimate discovery" that there was with Siddhartha. |
