About This Novel
It is not only the tragic end of the love trilogy, but also the prelude to a series of late works by the author. The male protagonist Sosuke Nonaka of "The Gate" falls in love with his friend's wife Ami, which leads to social rejection. They live in seclusion in a house without sunlight. On the one hand, they taste the sweetness of sincere understanding, and on the other hand, they feel the bitterness of being guilty of others. They fall into a dilemma and cannot extricate themselves. This is a human tragedy in which free and sincere love is not tolerated by society. It is also a spiritual portrayal of intellectuals pursuing personal happiness but being unable to get rid of the fetters of moral norms. "The Door" is one of Natsume Soseki's representative works of anti-naturalism. The author used a combination of realism and romanticism to create a sentimental world.
