During Oseki’s run in with Roku In “The Thirteenth Night” by Higuchi Ichiyo I believe Oseki realizes how life could have been if a person’s social class in society was not so important. Marrying Isamu is acceptable to her family and it was what they wanted because they come from poverty. Isamu is considered more educated and is in a higher social class compared to Roku, but he does not make Oseki happy. Along with her happiness, she gave up being with someone who had actual feelings for her. Who Oseki truly loves does not matter when it comes to financial stability.
