what is the theme of the story the garden of evening mists by tan twan eng
Answers
A central theme in the novel is the role of memory in human existence, and the relationship between memory and forgetting. The book opens with a quote from historian Richard Holmes, wherein he notes that while the ancient Greeks had a goddess for memory, Mnemosyne, there was none for forgetting. "Yet there should be, as they are twin sisters..."(Ch. 1) One reviewer observed: "Yun Ling's independent spirit and her anger seep like ink-stains into the narrative, but its distilled essence is a quieter appraisal of the dichotomy of memory, its treacherous failures, its cruel conveniences, its fadeout and deliverance."[5] Memory is also strongly tied to guilt, particularly survivor guilt; Yun Ling wonders "[w]hy did she survive and her sister perish?".[6]
