The narrative intricately weaves themes of autonomy, mental health, and the oppressive nature of societal expectations. As Yeong-hye embraces her vegetarianism, her family reacts with confusion and hostility, reflecting the patriarchal values entrenched in Korean culture. Her husband, Mr. Cheong, perceives her choice as a personal affront, while her sister In-hye struggles with feelings of responsibility for Yeong-hye’s decline into madness.

“The Vegetarian stands as a significant work in contemporary literature, highlighting the profound implications of choices and rebellion against cultural norms.”

The Book Guide® Editor

Through vivid imagery and poignant language, Kang captures the visceral impact of Yeong-hye’s rebellion against a world that demands conformity, making her journey not just about dietary choices but a profound commentary on the human condition and the quest for self-identity
