In this book, we can see how a mind can be driven over evil through the obsession. The Golden Pavilion, by Yukio Mishima, is Mizoguchi's tragic story, the protagonist, and his struggle to come to terms with its existence. This novel is not about how to teach or how we should live our lives, but offers an insight into the mind of a deeply troubled young man whose existence is justified to hate the outside world. In the beginning I had problems may go in the novel and enjoy an intrusive narrator. After a few chapters, however, I was drawn by Mizoguchi, by the contrast between the world of evil and beauty. It offers a detailed insight into the thought processes of a person who can only see himself in a negative light. Surprisingly us to understand how the mind of a terrorist who comes to mind, which leads him to do what it does to believe what he believes. To understand the hopelessness and despair they spend. How an active mind through these means to the realization of evil deeds. is a psychological novel about the process of an account in the path of evil, so naturally the main part of the story takes place in the mind.
