“Deep River”: An Analysis of the Novel by Shusaku Endo
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page exploration of the religious philosophy of author Shusaku Endo as portrayed in this story of the individual pilgrimages of his key characters. On the surface Shusaku Endo's “Deep River” is a story of personal and cultural clash which unfolds among a group of Japanese tourist touring alongside the Ganges River in India. Endo’s purpose is much deeper than depicting a glimpse of the lives of a few randomly chosen characters, however. Endo’s real purpose is to convey his view of religion, a view that is non-accepting of the premise that religions are exclusive of one another. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
