I finished up the latter half of the Japan (Ozaki) unit. The
story I liked the best out of the whole unit was the Ogre of Rashomon. The story built
everything up so well. The story appealed to the senses extremely well! The
dark setting and harsh weather really popped out at me. The warrior was also a
badass to the end! The warrior won both times when he faced the ogre. There was
no rise and fall of the warrior, which I really enjoyed. I didn’t expect the
story to end the way it did. I
thoroughly enjoyed reading that the warrior triumphed over the ogre. It showed
how great he was. The old nurse character was great. I knew something was up
with her obviously, but I didn’t expect her to be the ogre itself. I thought it
was interesting that the ogre sought the return of its arm so baldy. I guess
they have healing abilities or something.
That was the only thing that confused me. Why does it needs its dead
arm? I did think it was clever for the warrior to use it as bait, even though he
missed the second opportunity to kill it. He still won because the ogre fled
and never returned. It is someone else’s problem. Moving on though, this was a
great story to read.
