![]() ![]() I am of opinion that people, children up to age 15 even more so, have ways of feeling the enviroment (physical) and the energy (metaphysical) behind them but when something pure gets struck by something unpure and is too young or naive to comprehend it, it means the unpure (a social product like war or damaged human being) will sooner or later start to haunt him in ways unimaginable. At a certain level, I think, the blob does represent Kafka's father, but as far as the big picture is concerned I think it represents the subconscious filth that Nakata's been given because of growing up during the war and because of his unusual smarts, he has tried to intuitively get rid of them and saw that as his main assignment (he didn't really give a damn about anything else, unless eel of course) ![]() I, even more so after reading this book, am pretty sure that metaphors and symbols have many different levels. ![]()
