A girl doesn't always want to go out, you know, Mr. Wind-Up Bird. Sometimes she feels like being nasty--like, if the guy's gonna wait, let him really wait.
In Haruki Murakami's "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle," a character expresses a complex perspective on relationships and patience. She suggests that a girl may not always be eager to engage socially. Instead, she might prefer to embrace a more defiant attitude, challenging the expectations placed upon her by the opposite sex.
This sentiment reflects a deeper theme of autonomy and the intricacies of desire. The girl’s willingness to make a man truly wait indicates a desire for control and an assertion of her own needs, highlighting the dynamics of power and emotional play within human connections.
