pg 59-60
- 'How well do we really know ourselves?'
- Writing as Murikami:
In this passage I was trying to show the readers the limits of this kind of narration. In a sense K was exploring the limitations of our thinking, because K believes that in fact thinking of ourselves in a sense is not thinking about ouselves, but it leads us more into our thoughts on the world, the human race; and K feels that he hasn't discovered , and probably never will uncover the answers to life's 'Big' questions. K hence talks of painting an objective image of oneself, which as he explores is near impossible. It's with angst that K states the opinion that it's a paradox, you can't descrbe yourself objectively, even if you try you wont be objective, you can't go outside of yourself, because you are you.

I agree. This is a very interesting point. Can we see ourselves objectively? What is an author doing when he creates a character? Always being subjective?
