Throughout the novel Obasan, we see the prejudices and unjust treatment that Japanese-Canadians were forced to endure, due to the suspicions brought as a result of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. ...
Obasan has often been described as being a novel about silence. It has silent characters, such as Naomi, Obasan, and Uncle. ... Because of this, Obasan can never be a completely “silent” novel. ... If not for Aunt Emily, it is possible that many of the vents in Naomi’s life would be out of place, and “unhistorical”
Emily contrasts with the ever-silent Obasan. Naomi describes the relationship between Obasan and Emily. Obasan remains within her silent “stone” while Emily takes to her crusade for what she feels must be said.
