""Nevertheless, if this became generally known, you would be punished for it. Men would think the world turned upside down if women start taking up arms and seeking revenge" "My world is turning upside down"(Hearn 7).
In the futal era of Japan women are not allowed to do anything. If a woman killed someone they would be immediately put to death. I think that this passage is foreshadowing more events in the future in which her being a woman will put her at odds-ends. I think it shows a continuing theme in the book of struggle to overcome uncontrollable obstacles.
How did Takeo make her fall asleep for so long?
What does the white goddess represent?
Is Raku a goodbye present or a token to remember takeo by?
