『이세 모노가타리』에서 『야마토 모노가타리』로 ―남녀관계를 통해서 본 화형(話型)의 양상―

Abstract

Entering the Heian Period, there were interesting changes also in the story types of Uta Monogatari works while writings were developed by Kana. Ise Monogatari, the first Uta Monogatari starts with a story of complimenting a young man’s passionate behavior from Line 1. As for the relation between the sexes, stories were mainly centered around men, and they sometimes emphasized chastity to women. Like this, Ise Monogatari illustrates the relationship between the sexes, which takes men as principals and women as accessories based on the norms of the times. However, in Yamato Monogatari, the second Uta Monogatari work, stories are developed, putting Waka of a woman at the first from Line 1, and it develops stories, focusing on women in many lines. Also in the relationship between the sexes, women are not depending on men or their parents but descriptions that attach importance to their emotions and will are noticeable. For example, Yamato Monogatari brings out many passionate women with strong characters, such as a woman who becomes a Buddhist nun, as she does　not hear from the man who spent a night together, which hurt her pride; a woman who accomplishes her love with a high priest, discouraging her parents’ expectations; and a woman who does not betray her loyalty to her ruined ex-husband living in the country even after getting married to a nobleman.
