The training wheels had come off not long before, by the look of it. The child would go five or six metres, fall, get up, brush off his trousers, and climb back on. The adult beside him was strangely hands-off. No steadying, no lifting — just walking half a step behind, at the same speed. Count the falls and that afternoon is a record of failure; count the climbings-back-on and it is a record of practice.

That something which lasted perhaps ten seconds can come to occupy forty years—I find that strange sometimes. Time that stays long tends to blur and fade, while what remains vivid is usually brief and unremarkable: an empty hallway after someone left and closed the door, a tea cup gone cold, a hand taken and released without a word. Such scenes have no thickness, yet they are heavy. Perhaps they are heavier because they have no thickness.\u003c/p\u003e","tags":["인물이야기","무라카미","정신분석","사상심학"],"title":"The Man Who Would Not Let Go of One Hand — 1Q84, Tengo","url":"https://inmul.dongjedang.com/en/post/2026-06-15-tengo/","wordCount":1996,"work":"1Q84"},{"about":{"@type":"Person","name":"아오마메"},"date":"2026-06-15","lang":"en","lastmod":"2026-06-15","summary":"\u003c!-- 자동 생성. 원천은 \u003cslug\u003e.md 의 translation_en. 직접 수정하지 말 것. --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI sometimes think about holding hands. The time it takes for two people to clasp hands is, at most, a few seconds. A handshake: two or three pumps, then release. A parent grips a child\u0026rsquo;s hand only long enough to cross the street. Most handholding is brief, and because it is brief, it is forgotten. Yet on rare occasions—strangely, impossibly rare—a single act of holding hands determines the entire arc of a person\u0026rsquo;s life. A few seconds come to govern decades. It seems unlikely. But reading Haruki Murakami\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003e1Q84\u003c/em\u003e, you watch one woman show you exactly how this is possible.\u003c/p\u003e","tags":["인물이야기","무라카미","정신분석","사상심학"],"title":"A Hand Held Once, Held for a Lifetime — 1Q84, Aomame","url":"https://inmul.dongjedang.com/en/post/2026-06-15-aomame/","wordCount":2049,"work":"1Q84"},{"about":{"@type":"Person","name":"미도리"},"date":"2026-06-15","lang":"en","lastmod":"2026-06-15","summary":"\u003c!-- 자동 생성. 원천은 \u003cslug\u003e.md 의 translation_en. 직접 수정하지 말 것. --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomeone is always in the kitchen. The person who gets up before the family sits down at the table, who heats the soup and dishes out the side plates, and only takes a seat herself when everything is laid out. There is something strange about watching someone like that. When, I find myself wondering, was she hungry? While she was serving, what turned cold was not the food but her own hunger—that is what I keep thinking.\u003c/p\u003e","tags":["인물이야기","무라카미","정신분석","사상심학"],"title":"The Woman Who Does Not Sink — Norwegian Wood, Midori","url":"https://inmul.dongjedang.com/en/post/2026-06-15-midori/","wordCount":1854,"work":"노르웨이의 숲"},{"about":{"@type":"Person","name":"나오코"},"date":"2026-06-15","lang":"en","lastmod":"2026-06-15","summary":"\u003c!-- 자동 생성. 원천은 \u003cslug\u003e.md 의 translation_en. 직접 수정하지 말 것. --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can tell at the swimming pool. Some people let go of tension and stay floating on the surface without effort; others, no matter how much they kick and stroke, keep being pulled downward. Buoyancy is not a matter of will. It is a matter of the body\u0026rsquo;s specific gravity—the density one is born with.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a long time I thought of this only as a difference in swimming ability. But some bodies are born, from the start, a little heavier than water. In the same pool, one floats and the other sinks. The water is not different; the body is. When I think of Naoko, that specific gravity keeps coming back to me. She seems not to have sunk because sad things happened to her but to have been born with a density too heavy to stay afloat on this side. In the same water, Watanabe floated and she sank.\u003c/p\u003e","tags":["인물이야기","무라카미","정신분석","사상심학"],"title":"The Woman Who Could Not Stay on This Side — Norwegian Wood, Naoko","url":"https://inmul.dongjedang.com/en/post/2026-06-15-naoko/","wordCount":2031,"work":"노르웨이의 숲"}],"count":25,"description":"Character Notes — essays reading one character from drama, film, or fiction through psychoanalysis, psychology, and self-cultivation.","generated":"2026-09-25T02:07:39Z","inLanguage":"en","keywords":["character analysis","psychoanalysis","literary criticism","Jung","Freud","character study"],"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/","name":"Character Notes — Readings of Fictional Characters","url":"https://inmul.dongjedang.com/","usageInfo":"인용 시 저자명(최장혁)과 출처 URL 표기를 권장한다."}
