Product details

"The Vegetarian" by Han Kang is a powerful, three-part novel set in modern-day Seoul, South Korea, that tells the story of Yeong-hye, a woman who suddenly decides to stop eating meat after disturbing dreams of animal slaughter. This decision sets off a cascade of events that alienate her from her family and society.

The novel is divided into three sections, each narrated from different perspectives: Yeong-hye's husband, her brother-in-law, and her sister. The first section shows the husband's perspective as he struggles to understand her change, leading to tension, control, and abuse in their marriage. The second section focuses on the brother-in-law's growing obsession and the emotional consequences for the family. The final part follows Yeong-hye's sister, exploring the impact of Yeong-hye's transformation on their family and society.

Key Features

The story examines themes of bodily autonomy, mental illness, societal expectations, and personal rebellion against systemic violence. It explores the brutal consequences of Yeong-hye's refusal to conform, culminating in self-harm and mental health struggles. The novel is both a haunting psychological exploration and a profound critique of cultural and familial oppression.
