L'observation subjective que fait Amelie de fubuki

Le contraste entre les deux gouvernantes est pour le moins saisissant puisqu'une est parée de toutes les qualités qu'on peut attendre d'une femme de maison alors que l'autre, pour des raisons qui lui sont propres, faisait preuve d'une antipathie générale.

Notons au passage comment la référence maternelle est déplacée sur les gouvernantes et non sur la mère biologique qui semble, en quelque sorte, " hors jeu ". La relation avec la mère se joue avec les employées japonaises.

After making the rather grave mistake of accepting a potentially career-advancing opportunity, Amélie, the main character, finds herself the victim of her supervisor Fubuki Mori’s mistrust. Miss Mori, a woman who has spent several years rising to a modest rank within the Yumimoto Corporation, sees another woman—an unintelligent Westerner, no doubt—with confidence and the desire to advance in her career and, through either fear for her own authority or a desire to put her underling in her place, seeks out every possible opportunity to insult Amélie’s intelligence. Gradually, Amélie is demoted to jobs requiring almost no skill or intellect. The more perseverance she exhibits, the more Miss Mori seeks to strike her down. But Amélie has signed a one-year contract, a commitment she will not be bullied into breaking.

As a writer, Nothomb excels at duelling personalities. In Hygiene and the Assassin, it was a battle of wits as the journalist and the dying writer sliced one another with increasingly personal jabs, both bloody messes by the end. In Fear and Trembling, however, there is less back and forth discovery, with layers of history and psychological barriers being torn down. The battle fought between Amélie and Miss Mori is one of strength, first and foremost, as Amélie sets her sights on the end of her one-year contract as the bright light at the end of her journey. It’s all that matters. She knows her own intellect, and takes satisfaction when others in the company wage silent protests to support the valiant effort she puts forth. Whatever punishments are inflicted upon her, Amélie remains steadfast, determined to complete her contract.

Amelie develops an obsession with Fubuki, whose beauty, elegance and poise embody Amelie's idea of Japanese perfection.

But the husbandless ice-queen has a cruel sense of justice, and takes a sadistic delight in humiliating her underling.
