THE CAVE ARCHETYPE IN HARUKI MURAKAMI'S NOVELS

Bích Nhã Trúc Nguyễn

Main Article Content

Abstract

Murakami Haruki's works are often metaphorical, evoking themes in Japanese and Western myths. He creative use of archetypes to convey the messages. The cave is one of the important archetypes, often used by writers to build space in the novels. Through the cave archetype, Murakami not only expresses his view of the structural model of the world where the human live, but also conveys the ideas of a deep and multi-faceted spiritual world of man in modern society. Applying the mythological criticism and archetypal criticism, the article aims to point out the diversity of cave forms and explore the meanings that this archetypal evokes in Murakami's novels, through examine some typical novels by Murakami such as: Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, 1Q84 and Killing Commendatore.
