Major Lee, the narrator, one of a group of Korean army officers involved in a coup d'état. Lee struggles with a moral dilemma: In their effort to rescue the country from a corrupt regime and replace it with moral leaders, the coup members risk becoming as evil as those they seek to overthrow. Lee opposes any plan to shed blood, but other members, especially Colonel Min, see bloodshed as necessary—and therefore justifiable—if their coup is to succeed. When General Ham is killed by the conspirators, Lee realizes that his ideal of an honorable coup is doomed. Finally, he acknowledges the need for people like Min, having learned that tragedy and absurdity result from the collision of good and evil. He embarks for America, saddened by the turmoil his country is suffering and nostalgic for his lost innocence.
