Abstract

Geisha is part of the Japanese culture. Geishas are. skilful artists who excel in traditional Japanese music, dances and songs. Their duties are to entertain wealthy businessmen, politicians and celebrities. However, they do not belong to women of pleasures as some Westerners and Easterners think. Geishas remain the ultimate symbols of beauty and grace. Moreover, Japanese people are proud of their Geishas. This thesis is concerned with the analysis of Memoirs of A Geisha. a novel by Arthur Golden. The main character, Sayuri, a poor fishennan's daughter was sold at the age of nine years to the Kyoto Geisha hood During her way to become a Geisha, she had to face the ill-treatments from "Mother," "Granny,” and Hatsumomo. Because she did not want to spend her life as a maid, she encouraged herself to gain success by trying and studying hard to achieve her accomplishment as a Geisha.
