About This Novel
During a war, a servant who was kicked out of his home by his master was wondering whether to starve to death or become a robber. He happened to come to a place called Rashomon where dead bodies were piled everywhere. He plucked up the courage to go in and find some belongings. As a result, a ragged old woman was found pulling hair from the body of a young woman... "Rashomon" uses a weather-proof layout to push people to the limit of life and death choices, thus showing the inescapability of "evil" and conveying the author's understanding of people and his helplessness, pessimism and despair about life.

In fact, Akutagawa's Rashomon is a dialogue between good and evil, virtuality and reality. I like it very much.

Everyone is making up lies in order to survive, but the truth is not known. This is "Rashomon"
When we are desperate, human nature is exposed - selfishness, indifference, greed, cruelty - but this is exactly what we must accept. In fact, each of us, and even society as a whole, is a direct or indirect promoter of criminal cases. When the income gap further widens and the low-income class is unable to make a living, social injustice will lead to crime and the pretense of humanity will fade away.
Book ReviewHell Transformation
What is artistic pursuit? This question is difficult to answer. But some people, they have something called divinity. When they are faced with what they truly love, everything else is unworthy of concern. Yoshihide is such a person. In order to paint, he usually ignored the feelings and even the safety of his disciples. When his daughter was burned alive, he was deeply saddened, but he still captured the key scenes and completed the creation of Hell Transformation. Yoshihide has no real divinity. He has mortal emotions after all, but he also has divinity in a certain sense. He made this painting that shocked the world spread throughout the world. It's a pity that he is a person who purely pursues art, but the Grand Duke does not want him to change into hell. What the Grand Duke wanted from beginning to end was just his beautiful daughter, whether it was painting or burning a car, it was just the dark psychology caused by asking for but not getting. Human beings are full of contradictions. Some people regard everything in the world as rubbish, and they can still build and sing songs after their wives die, while others regard a person's own emotions as more important. It is also difficult to say which attitude is correct.
When you read other people's stories, you feel that human nature is complicated and a bit dark. If you look at yourself, you will find that there is also such a side. Just because it is the main body, I find various beautiful reasons to avoid the torture of these questions.
The human nature we take for granted cannot withstand such serious analysis.

Criticizing reality and profoundly revealing the good and evil of human nature, the novel has a wide range of themes. It is a novel worth reading.
Good deeds and evil deeds are rewarded
When people are making excuses to justify their own evil, they are also giving others a handle - to excuse those who do evil to them.
