    I enjoyed reading “The Love Suicide at Amijima” because it was a realistic yet tragic and enticing love story that is meant to appeal to the readers emotions. While the story was enjoyable, there was a massive theme of sexism throughout. It is evident that women in this time period were seen as mere property, only existing to fulfill a man’s sexual desires or to take care of his house, business, and children. Osan was willing to do anything for her selfish husband Jihei, when he gave nothing in return and in the end abandoned her. Not only did Jihei treat his wife with disrespect but also his mistress, Kohura.

    According to this theory, nature of love is changing fundamentally and it can create either opportunities for democracy or chaos in life (Beck & Beck- Gernsheim, 1995). Love, family and personal freedom are three key elements in this theory. This theory states that the guidelines, rules and traditions which used to rule personal relationships have changed. “Individuals are now confronted with an endless series of choices as part of constructing, adjusting, improving or dissolving the unions they form with others” (Giddens, 2006). For instance, marriage nowadays depends on the willingness of the couples rather than for economic purposes or the urge to form family.
