Cultural Impacts on a Characte

Societies are molded through beliefs, customs, and culture. Sociologically, culture dictates the way in which its respective society and its individuals act or react to certain instances and events. Culture is viewed as very important to many people and ethnic groups and can be as extreme as being the epitome of ones existence. In Mishimas "Patriotism," the two main characters, Shinji and Reiko, depict strongly the impact and effects of a persons' behavior due to cultural beliefs. The reader can notice how those beliefs can affect a person and give reasons for their actions in a given environment. Using the Japanese Imperialistic government, love / respect / loyalty, and seppuku as primary examples, we can understand and perceive how Shinji and Reiko, "Patriotism's" main characters, remain unyielding and loyal to their cultural beliefs.

In the beginning of the story, Mishima peculiarly notifies the reader of the death of Shinji and Reiko along with a brief summary of the political and military problems Japan was experiencing at that time. These "governmental" problems, which were cited on the story, were "when right-wing officers killed several moderate officials in an effort to establish a more militant Japan" (593).


In chapter two, Mishima still uses the "omniscient narration,' but establishes a closer relationship with the characters. For instance, in the first paragraph, last sentence, Mishima beautifully constructs the sentence so that we are able to picture Reiko. There are also some small but finely drawn details elsewhere in the chapter...the lieutenant's 'mud-splashed uniform'; the dagger that Reiko's mother gave her that contained significant, almost foreshadowing meaning. We also learn some about their home, for example in the last paragraph in this same chapter, Mishima is trying to establish how loyal they were to the gods and to the Imperial Majesties; almost everything seemed to be picture perfect, as if the gods granted this harmony. This paragraph echoes a sort of picture of a calm before the storm.
