Red Castle

Very good, good understanding of human nature, very Japanese

The master's control over human nature is so great. This is the pinnacle of psychological horror. Whether you put yourself in the role of the male protagonist or his wife, you will find that if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is extremely scary. I bring a more female perspective, which will have psychological shadows. It's not that the description is uncomfortable, on the contrary, it's the sweet and tempting packaging that silently invades the soul and captures everything, and the husband's views on gender and the decisions made due to some human reasons, which make people shudder. No, I have to slow down.

It's a bit unnatural, and the plot is quite shocking, but it also reflects the hypocrisy of the society at that time, satirizing the weaknesses of human nature, never looking for problems in oneself, male chauvinism, low-class people in front of high-class people, while trying to climb high, while at the same time hating themselves for not being treated fairly, and having evil thoughts. Struggling repeatedly in love and sex, sinking in morality and desire.

The male protagonist is a contradictory person, but the female protagonist is finally opened up to another world of body and mind by accident. The ending is very happy, ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust.

After reading this book, my understanding of sex has improved to a new level. Everyone should read it. As society progresses, ideological constraints should be lifted.

How should I put it? The author's writing is very good, and the male protagonist's psychological activities are very well portrayed. Both the male and female protagonists have problems in this marriage. One gets married without loving the other and has no sense of responsibility; the other is self-centered, has never thought about his own problems, and does not think much about others. It can be seen from the way he sent the female protagonist in, that they are both quite different...[Face covering]

Could this be a hidden version of Loli Island, where you sink first and then become a slave to the castle?

Objective description! A bold reveal! Cleansing of mind and body! Rational analysis!

This is a sexual enlightenment book for me. Every time I was stunned. Eye-opening. Allow yourself to face the complexity of human emotions. The entanglement, indulgence and alienation of love and desire in the book are very touching. Man has divinity, human nature, and animal nature. The ratio between these makes the individual more or less colorful. What makes spirit and body perfect is love. It somewhat makes up for the general lack of sex education in this country.

If you put a real woman in the Red Castle. There are only two results: either you will go crazy. Another thing is to keep going back.

Yes, it has a strong sense of immersion. Although after reading it, I feel a little uncomfortable, like a lump in my throat, and it is thought-provoking. [Rolls eyes]

Reason and emotion are not enough to explain the difference On one side is a life that obeys human instinct as animals, and on the other side is a life that requires self-control. The life Yuezi finally chose only satisfied people's basic needs, while the world the author stayed in was real and diverse, with deeper meanings and pursuits. Of course, the husband's behavior of sending his wife to the Red Castle is not recognized. There were many things the husband did wrong in the early stage.

It seems to be a love and marriage story, but it is actually a book describing human nature. Can people be completely liberated by returning to their true nature?

After reading it, I couldn't calm down for a long time. It can be said that the male protagonist sent his lover away personally. But the ending is still okay, let's live each other's lives.

I couldn't stand it for less than half an hour, so I came to review the book. So I don't know enough about the book, and the review is not true enough. I hope you don't mind. It can only be said that it is written by a Japanese. It has the characteristics of Japanese literature, weird and strange, abnormal interpersonal disorder, and the collision of sensibility and rationality. The author's writing style is really good, and the description of the psychological activities of the people in the article is extremely accurate, and the content he wants to express is also very in-depth. It is my problem that I can't read it. I think it is a bit too much for my age, so I did not continue to read it, but it is indeed a good book, [face covering] [face covering] [face covering]

Well written, but a little sad and unsatisfactory

When I read it at that time, I always felt that it was in a fog, and I read it as a fantasy novel. It wasn't until I read Yuezi's email that I suddenly felt enlightened and started to think. If viewed in the context of Japanese society, I would classify this novel as satire. It satirizes the husband's cowardice, extremeness, arrogance and selfishness (and even sends his wife to so-called training in order to satisfy his own desires and self-esteem). It satirizes Yuezi's lack of sense of responsibility (including social status as a wife, children, etc.), His willingness to indulge in sensual enjoyment, and his lack of real realistic pursuits of his own (in the end, he voluntarily went to the Red Castle to become one of them). It satirizes the repression, hypocrisy and indifference of Japanese society. Satirizes the monotony of social structure. In a patriarchal society where women's ideas are gradually developing, when the rights of the "husband" are weakened, extreme accidents will occur. The beginning of [kidnapping and training] is in the article. The author poignantly writes about the husband's true inner thoughts and the logic of his actions, pointed out the reasons behind the incident, and is full of satire on the so-called big man's face and respectability. Therefore, I think this book is worth reading and thinking by women. It can learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners, and it can also be used as a curiosity hunt for fun. There are thousands of people with different faces, I hope everyone can find their own experience in it. I give it five stars so that everyone can read it. It is a book worth thinking about. I hope more people can read it.

When reading this book, before reading Yuezi's letter, I felt a sense of powerlessness as when I read Wuthering Heights. But when I read the letter, I felt a chill and endless suffocation from my tailbone. Even when I said goodbye to Yuezi, I still felt that suffocation. What I was thinking about when I saw goodbye, I don't know, maybe it's regret, it's a pity.

As expected of a Japanese writer, it was very depressing. If you can't find a beautiful woman, cherish your parents and family.

"I wanted to love you, but I couldn't." I couldn't relate to the beautiful heroine, but I could understand the plight of the humble and persistent male protagonist. The ending of letting go of the past was pretty good. If you don't love it, leave it and let it go. You can't force it. There are so many things in reality that are much more important than feelings.

The entire novel is a personal dialogue, but the inner male psychology and husband and wife theory help modern people understand that every adult can best describe what kind of relationship between husband and wife is more suitable. He also conducted a psychological analysis on two people with different personalities who grew up in different environments. I hope readers can understand different sexual fantasies...

A good book seems to say a lot even though it doesn't say anything; it seems like it says nothing even though it says a lot. This is the case with this little Japanese novel. After reading it, only a few picture fragments remain in my mind. Through the full of obscene words and nonsense, I can only get a sentence of chicken soup for the soul: love and sex complement each other. But in fact, as long as young people get rid of vulgar tastes, get rid of such idealistic thoughts, actively face reality, open up a halo of joy, and treat others sincerely, they will never fall to the level in the book. I don't want to read Red Mansions because it's meaningless. This is the warning and educational significance of pure literature.

I quickly read through it, and there were many things worth pondering, but I felt that I would fall into the abyss (some things should not be studied in depth), so I continued to read. I did not take on the perspective of any party, but only started from my own perspective. I don't know if it's a characteristic of Japanese writers or something else. I feel the deep malice and distortion of human nature. Maybe it's because I'm an arrogant person. In my opinion, the heroine's marriage for the sake of face is a kind of arrogance. The male protagonist's self-motivated love for the heroine and his desire to conquer her while wearing a hat are even more arrogant. As soon as I saw the heroine being taken away, I had a strong premonition of destruction in the end. Although we also envisioned the possibility that the heroine would be spoiled and the relationship between the two would become normal, but if this happens, the literary nature of the work will be gone at all, and it will instead turn into rubbish like an imperial uncle. Food and drink are the great desires of men and women. If you cannot correctly understand your own desires, you will be destroyed. Although I am disgusted with this kind of content, I have to admit that this is a good work.

I was 14 years old and about to enter the third grade of junior high school. After reading it, I didn't know what to say. . . Rating: Awesome, 666!

If the male protagonist of this book is truly unreasonable, has high self-worth, has a strong self-esteem and is very arrogant, then I will only say that he is really pathetic. But the male protagonist of this book knows how to think and grow, so this is not sad, but pitiful Isn't it? He shows the imperfection and darkness of human nature, and at the same time he has the ability to complete himself and be able to accept this European concept that is incompatible with Japanese tradition. But just knowing each other is not enough. The male protagonist has no time to change himself. He is still so strong in his bones. Although he finally understood their happiness, he did not change it. Does he really love Yuezi? Maybe, or maybe he just loves Tsukiko's body; because he is completely imprisoned by Japan's rigid sexual culture, he only has a beast-like sexual impulse, and the sadness in him is exactly what most people have. Unlike most people, he knows how to think and understand, which makes him less pathetic in my eyes, and instead he has the ability to question Japan's rigid culture. The real purpose of Red Castle, in my opinion, is to change the women they send away from their original husbands, because in their eyes, the women they send are pathetic, and their husbands are even more pathetic, They are a group of idealists who are born to change these women, and their husbands, hinting at it, will change if they can, but if they can't, they will just let them die.

The "Tuned" Red Castle reminds me of "The Story of O". The psychology of the male protagonist portrayed in this book is very real, selfish and inferior. But I don't understand that the heroine has to return to the Red Castle in the ending. I personally think it is a symbol of the heroine's open sexual life.

The details are well written and the male protagonist's thoughts also trigger the readers' thoughts. When reading, I can't help but assume the roles of the male protagonist and the female protagonist. When I think about it carefully, both are very sad: one can't get the love of his wife, and he can only get discrimination from his wife's family after all his efforts. He also has the frustration of being a man and the frustration of being an "excellent and promising doctor". It is understandable to do something with the blessing of desire, but it is really not appropriate to send his wife to "prison, cage". I think the male protagonist loves the female protagonist, but as the female protagonist said, he is too selfish. At the same time, it seems that it is just for sexual desire, trying to stimulate love through sex. I think this is a wrong idea from the beginning. Perhaps this is what the author wants to express: sex and love are inconsistent, and sometimes they cannot blend well, just like oil and water. The heroine didn't have much psychological description, but her emails made me feel that I understood her a little. When she returned to that place, she was depraved as the hero said, but it seemed excusable. She also revealed vanity and arrogance. This may not be a good ending, but it is the best ending The heroine who does not return to the castle seems to be unable to find inner satisfaction, and seems to have nothing to do. After being tortured, she has no intention of doing anything with the original thing. The male protagonist finally felt the frustration. There was a huge difference between the two. Separation is the best ending.

20240616Thank you for the translation, which allowed me to see such a wonderful story! The characters are vividly portrayed. I never thought there could be such a dark, sinister, selfish, arrogant, and cowardly man in this world. Fortunately, everything around me is beautiful! Happy and grateful!

It seems to be realistic. The author is bold and insightful, and deserves recognition. It can be said that this work is a very serious study and discussion of sexual issues. It is not only carried out from the scientific aspects such as physiology and anatomy, but also involves the aspects of society, history, culture, outlook on life and values. It can be said to be a very serious subject. The work uses a first-person approach to express and analyze the tragic character and tragic ending of the character "I". Although it is sighing, the author is obviously not praising Yuezi and his training institution, because they are no longer a normal part of human beings who are beneficial to society!

I didn't take it too seriously, but I finished reading it slowly. I want to say that human nature is really complicated. In front of the male protagonist, he is an image that everyone praises, but in fact, there is darkness deep inside that cannot be discovered. If he wants to conquer his wife and make her accept him, he can choose many ways, but he ignores his wife's thoughts and secretly sends her to the Red Castle to be manipulated by others. He is still masturbating when her wife is raped by others. How terrible. This is the first time I read a book from this perspective, and it's quite unacceptable. However, the author's writing style is really good, and the descriptions are very vivid. I haven't read a book in a long time, and I don't know how to evaluate it. It seems that I will read more in the future.
