ABSTRACT

This chapter presents a selection of case studies which utilise our socio-pragmatic primitives to unveil invisibles that lie beyond the subtitle. The story of Sado provides a conservative picture of neo-Confucian ideologies benefiting society, as they bring about a detrimental human disconnect and subvert the natural order. The situation reached its climax following the illness and death of the queen, at which time Sado became more isolated. He started to develop peculiar fears and anxieties, such as a fear of thunder and lightning and, after being scolded by his father about the manner of his clothing, he developed a problem with wearing clothes and tore his clothes and harmed people who tried to dress him.
