'it could be a metaphor for prostitution!'
Honestly, Lit critics have the dirtiest minds.. most objects on earth look vaguely phallic (even the silhouette of a human being, male or female), but they can't let it just be a coincidence if it's in a story.
It's a shame, because Miyazaki's works are really so progressive, what with their many legitimately admirable female leads. I suppose he's trying to say that Chihiro is denying being bought, thereby overcoming patriarchy.. But who got that impression while watching the film? She's afraid of a giant ugly monster thing, and the monster doesn't know how else to please people but with gold. His point about the 'credit cards' or whatever is far more convincing.

This guy doesn't seem to be writing about the book so much as dissing it at every turn, because he doesn't understand the "strangeness" of it. Still, it's an interesting read, if you can get past the guy totally bashing the film.

Though I do have this book, but these scans are not mine. User ljdivan found them, I don't know where.

actually, it probably is a metaphor for prostitution. i haven't read this book yet, but someone on tumblr made a post a while ago about this. here's the link to it, if you care to read! http://cering.tumblr.com/post/560013869/interesting-fact-about personally, i thought it was really interesting and adds a whole new level of depth to the movie!

Miyazaki even stated it was about prostitution. "When later asked in an interview about why he chose the particular story, Miyazaki is reported to have answered: 'I think the most appropriate way to symbolize the modern world is the sex industry. Hasn't Japanese society become like the sex industry?'" http://my.opera.com/sukekomashi-gaijin/blog/spirited-away
