I think the theme of the "the Izu Dancer" is that in the rigid social hierarchy in that time's Japanese society prevents the student who represents the higher social class from having relationship with the dancer who comes from the lower class. The dancer wants to watch movie with the student but her mother did not allow her to go alone with the student. I think her mother knows that it is not appropriate for the dancer to fall in lover with the student because they are not in the same social status. The dancer is very good at a game but she knows that she might get scolded if she plays the game. I think being good at game can tell that she is an intelligent woman. However, she comes from the lower social class which might be seemed as inferior compared to the higher social class. When her skills overcome the student who represents the higher social class, which seems to threaten the social order. She is told and taught to not play that game because her smartness seems not to belong to people who come from the lower class. I think the rigid social constrains and hierarchy make lower class people uneasily to move forward because they feel like they might be "scolded"or punished. They are suppressed to stay on the bottom of the social hierarchy ,which also makes it impossible for the dancer to have a relationship with the student.
Discuss Question:
Do you think the student will come back to look for the dancer? Why or why not?
Onnagata
I think Onnagata is the perfect image which Masuyama thinks in the real life. Masuyama thinks that Mangiku behaves like a woman in her real life and performs like the real women in the stage, which is perfect for Masuyama. I think this perfect aspect of Onnagata is imagined by Masuyama and he regards his imagination as perfect. His imagination might be illusion. This comes of illusion comes from the real image of Masuyama. I think this article seems to reveal the Masuyama is obsessed with his illusion and pursuit of the imagined perfetness, which makes him lost in the real life.
Discuss Question:
Sometimes we all have illusion about something or someone's behaviors and how can we get the reality of something or someone in our lives. Sometimes imagination could make us escape from the real world and sometimes it makes us lost in the real world. What do you think about imagination?
