ナオミを絶対的女王とする忠実な奴隷となり、足蹴にされながらもこの上ない幸福を感じていた

In the conclusion of 'A Fool's Love,' Joji legally married Naomi, but it was not an equal marital relationship; rather, it was the start of a life as a 'faithful slave serving the absolute queen, Naomi.' Earning huge sums of money for Naomi to play with other young men, and even while kicked by her, Joji ecstatically says, 'I am happier than ever.' His figure represents the ultimate masterpiece of Tanizaki's literature, fully depicting the defeat of reason and indulgence in the devilish charms of the flesh.
