In every other journal that I have written on this book, I have written about the events that occur in the book in my own words. In this journal I was able to write about what I thought the main conflicts were and how they came to be. Though the main characters remain the same and no new ones are introduced, the author is able to twist and turn what the reader assumes what is going to happen into a completely different outcome. This journal was very interesting to write as I started to form more in depth opinions on Lisbeth Salander as she conflicted with society, herself, and on Mikael Blomkvist while he conflicted with himself. The first analysis I will be doing is on Lisbeth Salander.

The “Japanifying Korea” efforts are depicted as once again detrimental to society; however, it appears that in this film, Korea ultimately saves Japan in a metaphorical stance. The uncle of Lady Hideko adamantly attempts to adopt Japanese styles, culture, and modernization that it brings; this is evident in the Japanese-inspired architecture of the uncle’s property, which incorporates English and Japanese styles in a Korean landscape (Park 0:03:30). The property as a whole is product of the forced infusion of British, Japanese, and Korean styles and culture, which develops the allegorical basis of tension and issues that the film tackles. The uncle is perversing Korea and Korean culture, ultimately making circumstances worse, which is metaphorical for the criticism of Japanese imperialism in Korea.

In this day and age, society does not understand that life is valuable, every minute, second, microsecond, and nanosecond. Life is something meant to be lived in contentment, something to be lived to the fullest. Life is replete with opportunities, as well as valuable lessons that help build a person’s character.
