Despite the examples given for humanity in society, there are also other factors affecting the choices made by the characters. For example, it may change depending on the culture they were raised in. A character portraying this is Hatsue Miyamoto. She has the choice to either choose Ishmael or Kabuo. With Ishmael being raised in a more lax environment and Kabuo being raised in a more strict environment, it shows the difference in typical Western versus Japanese cultures. She was in love with Ishmael and despite that fact alone, she felt guilty because her mother wanted her to marry a Japanese person so she abides to her mother’s wishes and marries Kabuo instead. Yet when Kabuo leaves for the war to serve America she tries to convince him to stay and tells him that two people who are in love should stay together despite what society wants of them which shows how she has been affected by the Western culture
