The Mole

      THE MOLE BY : KAWABATA YASUNARI , TAIWAN

    

       My reflection about the story of the Mole tells us about what Sayoko became feeling worthless for her husband and her family. Sayoko was one of the character in the story who wrote a letter for her husband because she dreamed about her Mole. At first her mole was the dissension of their marriage. it happened one night when Sayoko lying at their bed she played her mole and that was the first time that her husband scolded her. Maybe for me if I am Sayoko It's hurts when the one you loved scolded you. I understand what Sayoko feels based on the story because since when she was younger she inclined to play her mole perhaps her mother and her sister can understand her. Because for Sayoko her Mole represent her loved to her husband but suddenly their relationship became metaphor and came to the point that her husband hurting her not only mentally but also physically. So Sayoko decided to divorce her husband even if she really loved her husband .So the letter of Sayoko tells about the shame that she feels when her husband first scolded her , and for being selfish because she doesn't  listen to her husband that playing her mole is a bad habbit .So the story of the mole was based on the loneliness of a first person in the story which is Sayoko.
