Themes

You need to prepare some notes which will probably lead into a World Lit essay. So, start by identifying some key passages; then perhaps a paragraph explaining what you think Mishima is trying to communicate about these ideas (or, indeed, any other that you think is more obvious or important...)

Thematic links:

GLORY / HONOUR (chapter 4, section 2) NIHILISM / ANARCHY (chapter 5) GENDER (start with chapters four and seven) ALIENATION (chapters one and two) West vs East (start with chapter3, section 2)
