Rashōmon
Experience: Alienation
Narrative Technology: Second Look
"A few moments ago, I wrote that the servant was 'waiting for the rain to pass,' but in fact the man wasn't really waiting; he'd been dismissed several days ago by his master and had nowhere to go. So, rather than writing that the servant was 'waiting for the rain to pass,' it would have been better to write: 'a servant crouched beneath Rashōmon gate, homeless and lost."
