Abstract
This thesis investigates the connection between creativity and social responsibilities in the novel Kafka on the Shore, by Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. Murakami’s personal ideology of the artist’s social responsibility influences the novel in terms of both style and plot. Chapter 1 analyzes the figure of the artist, discussing both Murakami as the committed artist and the artistic characters in Kafka on the Shore. Chapter 2 focuses on art as a source for selfdevelopment, analyzing the evolution of the characters of Kafka and Hoshino.
