Question about Yozo in No Longer Human
I’m reading No Longer Human for the first time, and I’m a little frustrated and confused.
Yozo has contempt for women, but I don’t understand the argument that it stems from his childhood abuse, because he says the abuse came from manservants and maids alike, aka both men AND women. So why is it that he grows to be misogynistic only? Is it because his only “friendships” were with men? But even so, he didn’t seem to trust them very much; he was only befriending them to protect himself, in a way. So he was capable of disliking them without possessing the same level of disdain he harbored for women.
Could somebody explain this aspect a bit more, or offer some clarity? Thank you.
