Abstract

This paper aims to study Mishima Yukio’s description of homosexuality and misogyny. It will review discourses about Mishima, his performance, works and sexuality. It points out Mishima’s views on love, why the female characters in his books are always similar, and his attitude towards women. In conclusion, this paper will use the characters in Mishima’s novels as examples, analyzing his motives by explaining the intrinsic relationship between homosexuality and misogyny found in his literature.
