Moreover, Midori, Reiko, Hatsumi and Nagasawa are seen headmost in their way of life, who are provocative in their tone and action but offensive in their soul. In this novel, despite having a right emotional attachment, Naoko and Toru fail to give each other psychophysical support that results in Naoko's silent death and mentally sporadic Toru's discontented conducts with bar-girls as well as sensible ones like Reiko and Midori. This self-discontentment makes the weak-kneed commit suicide and the compromising live passively.

East Asian writer Haruki Murakami reveals this unbounded self-dissatisfaction under the mask of civility and reality through the way of life of modern Japanese young generation in his bestselling novel, Norwegian Wood. It is a universal phenomenon that we always punish ourselves in expressing our psychological and physical necessity openly in fear of personal bonding, other's reaction, and social expectation. Individual contentment is confined in the gyre of civilization.
