The main characters in "The Grove" by Ryunosuke Akutagawa are the woodcutter and a monk. The story revolves around their encounter at a remote temple during a snowstorm, where they discuss a mysterious and haunting event that occurred in the grove. The woodcutter is the protagonist who recounts the chilling tale, while the monk plays a significant role in the unfolding of the story's moral dilemma.
The woodcutter , the Buddhist priest and the 'bounty hunter' . Each has , or puts , a different spin on their story for personal reasons .
Akutagawa excelled in examining the darker side of humanity in his writings. If you look at "In a Grove," I think each character has their own agenda; hence, each person gives a different account of the story. Also, an important aspect of the story deals with truth. What is truth? The age old question is important, and Akutagawa challenges the reader to ponder that question as we analyze all the characters in the story, not just the 3 main characters, but also the monk and the woodcutter.
