Abstract: Norwegian Forest is a narration of masculine discourse. Influenced by phalluscentric tendency, the narrator depicts those feminine images in the novel as sacrificial offerings or instruments that satisfy masculine desire. Former commentators neglected the harm such values did to feminine characters, who, in the novel, are confronted with 3 questions of the separation of “sex” from “love”, identity deficiency and “penis admiration”.

Key words: feminism, Norwegian Forest, sex, identity deficience
