It's like she isn't even willing to consider the possibility that it might not work out with the chairman. It seems insane to me that she continues to act this way. I mean, what grown woman acts like this? She's been in love with the chairman for years and years, despite the fact that he basically ignores her the whole novel? What on earth could possess her to hold on to those feelings for so long?Īt a certain point, don't we, as rational adults, realize that things might not work out with someone? That at the very least we ought to consider some sort of contingency plan, just so that if things don't work out with that person, we don't feel as if our entire life was wasted, because we never did anything but chase after something we couldn't have? And she just can't stand the thought of being with him because she is still holding on to this ludicrous crush on the chairman, who she hardly knows. Ok, so the way I see it, Nobu has been a kind, helpful, generous friend to Sayuri for years and years. I know he did interview some actual geisha in writing the book, but still. I just finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha for the first time.įirst off, from the beginning I was frustrated by the fact that a book that could have/should have been written by an ethnic woman was instead written by a white man.
