I agree with all of them but mostly number one which talks about the gradual disappearance of the Korean traditional way of life under Japanese dominance.Cristina Chifane wrote: ↑07 Jan 2021, 05:40 Pejay Bradley's novel has a beautiful metaphorical title. For me, "The Vanished" might refer to the following:
1) the gradual disappearance of the traditional Korean way of life under Japanese occupation and dominance;
2) the marginalized (servants, women) whose voices cannot be heard in a society where aristocracy and men have all the influence;
3) resistance heroes who sacrificed their lives and never gave up their fight for independence.
Which of these three best works explains the title? Do you have any other ideas?
