Abstract

The story To Reach Japan presents a magnificent picture of a female Greta’s hard struggle between her daily life and her broken thoughts. For the vivid depiction of her underneath longing, techniques of stream of consciousness are put into use. This paper attempts to illustrate the inner world of the main female character Greta by analyzing her state in the imaginary and symbolic stage, in which she surrenders to her desire.
