A Harmonious Echo
Both Osamu Dazai's *No Longer Human* and Mary Shelley's *Frankenstein* plunge you into the abyss of alienation, showcasing profoundly isolated protagonists who grapple with their own perceived monstrosity and the societal rejection that stems from it. Your unrated engagement with these deeply introspective works suggests you are exploring the very nature of humanity and the often-fractured self, recognizing how the 'otherness' felt by Oba Yozo and the Creature can lead to a profound existential crisis. This shared thematic exploration of societal detachment and the creation of self within that void forms a powerful echo, revealing your own quest to understand the boundaries of belonging.
