it was interesting, it sort of plays the idea of what is good and wrong, and what one needs to survive. the old lady knows what she does is wrong, and the servant knows stealing is wrong. but they both did what the did to survive.

i still don’t like the servant though, his sort of idea that he is justice seemed odd considering he was known as a servant and such. i can see why this is popular though.

Believe me, it's just because of the awkward transliteration.

After watching the Kurosawa movie, I picked up the book. Short read, really good. If you like thoughtful stories told from different perspectives you might like this one.
