오후의 예항/짐승들의 유희

The novel delves into the unsettling psyche of its young characters, but I'm curious about what motivated Mishima to focus on this tension. Was it influenced by post-war Japan or personal experiences?

The characters' descent into nihilism felt both fascinating and disturbing. Did others find their transformation believable or unsettling?

The story is set against a backdrop of societal change, and I wonder how much Mishima's perspective was shaped by this context. Would the story be different in another era?
