Literature Analysis Notes and Mind Map

Kafka on the Shore 

Notes Continued:

After life?-  Was the forest some sort of symbol of an after life? I felt it was trying to prove some sort of past or purity that some difficulties are behind him now.

"If you remember me, then I don't care if everybody else forgets." This quote is said by Ms Saeki showing her true affection and feelings towards Kafka

The lack of appearance of "crow boy" shows that Kafka is finally growing up. He is starting to leave his struggles behind him and become a normal fifteen year old boy again.  He went from being scared and lonely to a change in Kafka. A change that he had overcame his young dillusions and he was almost about to lead normality again.

The spiritual world- Nakata and Kafka both enter this eeire concept of a world and I feel both grew in this part. They grew through out the novel, especially Kafka.
