A 13-year-old lesbian girl comes into the novel, Norwegian Woods by Murakami Haruki. She has a physically beautiful appearance as well as an intellectual excellence, which has the other negative side and the destructive evil spirit that threatens other people's daily life in order to satisfy her own desires. Haruki intends to show the porno graphy itself through the character he describes. The punishment taken to the girl is a homosexual that her sexuality is toward females. The author does not consider the girl's fundamental problems just because he attaches importance to the homosexual love. When we take a close look at her homosexual experiences with Leiko's confession, so far from trying to share her agony with 'I(boku)', she assorts the lesbian girl and herself into dichotomy; a homosexual and a heterosexual, and allows the visualization of discrimination on lesbians blatantly by expressing the feeling of relief assorted to heterosexual through the sexual bargaining with 'I'. Moreover, as the lesbian girl is characterized to the abnormal and deviant images, he expresses the prejudice that lesbian means abnormality and his aversion against a homosexual love itself. In conclusion, he couldn't depart from the classical representation that negates a homosexual love but pursues a heterosexual love. Also, when it comes to Leiko, that she goes back to the reality with her own big hurts and has four time sex with 'I' like a ritual ceremony, standing her own feet and regenerating through the 'I's penis, makes us feel that the novel is based on the male-centered phallicism.
