General Analysis

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Vegetarian" by Han Kang explores the life of Yeong-hye, a woman who decides to abandon meat in an attempt to take control over her life. This seemingly simple decision transforms her existence and those around her in unexpected ways. The novel is divided into three parts, each narrated by a different character, revealing the psychological, emotional, and societal ramifications of her choice. Themes of repression, bodily autonomy, and personal identity are explored in a haunting and surreal narrative. The story delves deeply into the complexities of the human condition, challenging traditional notions of normality and control.
