The Vegetarian

Follows a woman named Yeong-hye through the perspective of her husband. Her husband describes her as an entirely ordinary person until she suddenly decides to stop eating or keeping meat after experiencing a gory, haunting dream. This abrupt transition into strict vegetarianism causes her physical health to decline and creates significant social and marital friction, particularly during a tense business dinner where her behavior defies cultural norms. The narrative highlights the husband's frustration and embarrassment as he views her transformation as a senseless act of obstinacy rather than a psychological crisis. Ultimately, the story explores themes of individual autonomy, the constraints of social expectations, and the unbridgeable gap between two people in a marriage.
