Violence as an Act of Traditional Legitimization: The Critical Investigation of Han Kang’s the Vegetarian (2015)

Varying shades of violence in human life are circular as well as straight lines that produce their own bombastic legacy. The harmonic structures perpetuated through draconian tendencies to become the raisin, the tour of human existence and pander to the unique processes of decimation. The paper attempts to explore the predicament in the central female character, Yeong- his life, which is embroiled in the cultural mess in South Korean society, where the right to eat selective food has been severely castigated. The cultural and patriarchal constraints prepare that kind of milieu, where the very idea of freedom takes the backstage.
