『아키(秋)』 小考‒침묵의 공간을 통해 본 노부코(信子)의 내적변화‒

Abstract

This study focus on ‘the space of silence’ which is shown by the three main characters’ reunification after their changes, and look deeply into NOBUKO’s thinking though that space. The meaning of Akutagawa’s space of silence is reflected in the existence of reality. The problem is not about the love that NOBUKO have given up on the marriage, to think that as the way she act her life, then space of silence means the realistic symbolism that makes the structure of life desperate. The silence of space is not specifically described as a problem of reality. However, related consciousness creates “the space” and through the streaming time of silence, readers can understand the true meaning of it. NOBUKO’s emotional change and internal conflicts shown from the space of silence continue on <AKI>, which is literary pursuit of Akutagawa. By looking at the main character NOBUKO’s loneliness in silence reflected on <AKI>, transfer Akutagawa’s idea. it is not about one story of one woman, but rather, it is about Nobuko’s image depictions of one person’s woman who is not one person. It can be concluded that the images of woman portrayed in Akutagawa’s work is like a riddle that has readers puzzled.
