=== This Novel Provides Examples Of: ===
* [[Affably Evil]]: Noboru Wataya is more of a [[Villain
* [[Author Appeal]]: Apparently, the author has quite a thing for wells.
* [[Author Tract]]: A good portion of the work concerns the Japanese occupation of Manchuria (Manchukuo) during the 1930's and [[World War II]]. Murakami makes no bones about calling the whole affair out as having been a Very Bad Idea.
Line 43:
* [[Strange Girl]]: May Kasahara.
* [[Talkative Loon]]: Quite a few of the characters.
* [[Villain
* [[The Voiceless]]: Cinnamon lost his ability to speak after a traumatic dream in his childhood. He can still communicate effectively via an idiosyncratic form of sign language.
* [[Thrown Down a Well]]: Toru spends a rather large amount of time in the well in the 'hanging house'.
