In Murakami Haruki's Norwegian Wood, Naoko, Kizuki, and Nakasawa come to death in the wake of the early conditioned ground that they are required to play in a role of servants supposed to blindly follow the programme of the empire game. Take Hatsumi for example. She is a character who is deeply immersed in the billiards game; such an attitude is not regarded as a servitude act; also, it will be disputable that her suicide comes only from her relationship with Nagagawa. Watanabe surely seems to survive in the novel, because he seeks to help Midori, who behaves friendly and reliable toward others with care and humanity; yet it is considered not to be easy. We live in the colonial era of the invisible game empire in which the results of a game dominate the goodness of enjoyment, and further hurt the defeated. The message in the novel which Murakami Haruki gives us is not only a warning but a cure as well.
