K ends his relationship with the mother of his student “Carrot” when Carrot is caught stealing from a store. I think this is the most prevalent example of lust in the book and how it can hurt other relationships. So to quench his lust for Sumire, he sleeps with other women, particularly with the mother of one of his students in class. He imagines having a sexual life with her but understands that she doesn’t see him as a man. Loneliness can promote our minds to look for love and companionship sometimes as though it is an unquenchable thirst. Love, loneliness, and lust they’re all interconnected yet like the emotions themselves separate and unique. The cast of characters experience many emotions in "Sputnik Sweetheart" which makes the personalities so much more believable as we experience the writing of Murakami. But I didn’t love her.” 1It’s an odd love triangle of inner emotions and lust.Īlthough there is no real dire objective conflict in this novel, the development of plot and character are generally internal. I felt sexual desire for a woman who will remain anonymous. Sumire liked me, but didn’t love me, and didn’t feel any desire for me. I loved Sumire and felt sexual desire for her. K simplifies this notion on page 134, “ This woman loved Sumire, but couldn’t feel any sexual desire for her.
I think that the characters’ relationships represent the emotions of lust and love, and how the two desires can interconnect with each other.
