Ideal Man and Woman in The Tale of Genji

According to "Genji Monogatari" of Murasakusibu, the ideal men of Peace Palace and the ideal woman are easily identified as not existent. Young Murasaki plays a similar role as Genji in the story. It is clear from the beginning of the story that Genji is an example of an ideal person. In "chrysunpyo" in Chapter 1, Genji is born to the emperor, the middle class woman is "a very handsome son" (5) and has "such a beauty and character miracle".

In this article we will start with some background information on the Tale of Genji based on the source story of Murasaki Shikibu translated by Royall Tyler and explain how the presented ideals contradict each other. Rowling shows women that they do not need to have a wonderful voice to look like a supermodel, or be noticed by society; they do not need people to encourage all ages. An important word to remember emphasizes the proverbs of JK Rowling's character. "Beyond custom-made one, that person's greatest wealth" (Luo Lin)

From a modern perspective, one of the strange things about "The Tale of Genji" is that the two main characters, Genji and Murasaki, disappeared in the middle of the book. The main story through the last few chapters involves the two young men who almost killed herself by pursuing the same lady. One is Nio, the prince of perfume, a somewhat shallow but attractive woman, Genji's grandchild. His friend Kaoru is a high scent but awkward person, but he is the son of Genji, but in fact it is the result of another man meeting with Genji's youngest wife.

Therefore, "The Tale of Genji" is a story of women's vulnerability to a society of women whose women are completely dependent on men. If a man wants her and his position is high enough, even the wife of the emperor can not benefit safely from his progress. Everyone, even stepmother, can be. Her only escape is a nun or death. (And the monastery is not that secure, the book ends with a cliff that includes a nun too beautiful for her kindness. Let us speak frankly: the dress is the fault of the girl There is no play, etc.)

Shi Shonagon is known for competition with contemporary, writer and coat lady Murasaki Shikibu who is the author of Shoshi Queen 's Genji Story. Writing a pillow book coincides with the writing of "The Tale of Genji" around 1000 years and it is done in the same venue environment. Murasakusibi and Seishonagon know each other and criticize each other. Pillow book is a collection of notes and notes showing someone's or something's life. When a personal essay is loosely communicated, it responds to circumstances surrounding the author. In Japan, these personal notes are called Rizumitsu type. The meaning of this word comes from two kanji "follow" and "brush" - essay
