Kuroda+house


 * The Kuroda House**


 * Purpose**
 * Mocks the relationships that take place in the house. While the house should be the place where people should be close and truthful to each other, the Kuroda house is full of deception and duality.


 * Location**
 * The location of the house on the hill ironically links with the deceptions in the house, reflecting that the house is high because it's "built on lies".
 * The location on the hill also reflects the relatively high economic status of the Kuroda family.
 * House at the top of the hill, indicates isolation and unstableness reflects the isolation among the family and the unstableness of the relationships.

 * Duality**
 * The house should have secrecy while there's the hole Noboru spies from;
 * The closeness of the mother and son with no intruders (before ryuji) forms contrast with the fact that the son is locked up every night;
 * Fusako dominated the house, but at the same time didn't know about the hole and her son spying;
 * The house is the place where Noboru started worshipping Ryuji as well the very setting Noboru eventually knew the news of the marriage and lost his faith for Ryuji.
