Murakami’s decision to put half of the story in the first person point of view allows the reader to understand the inner thoughts of the man and get inside his mind. Through his ideas we see a guy whose main conflict or struggle throughout the story is how he will approach a girl. However, at the surface the story may look like an ordinary occurrence for most guys, the story of this guy has underlying meaning and shows a lot about his personality. The reader is given a glimpse of a guy who is shallow, lonely, and lacks self-confidence. This is a guy, who at 32 years old is still involved in the fantasy world and is too engrossed in his imagination. He does not have the maturity and the confidence to approach the woman that he likes. At the same time, his fantasy of love is very shallow since he has concluded from seeing the woman 50 yards away that she is the 100% perfect girl for him. At the same time, his experience on seeing his 100% perfect girl is not something unusual by reading the conversation he had in the story with someone whom he retold the encounter. In order to better analyze the inner workings of this man’s mind, it is significant to look at the story more closely and analyze it.
