나쓰메 소세키(夏目漱石)의 위장병 - 『고양이』와 『만한 이곳저곳』을 중심으로 -

Abstract

I think the life and the work of Soseki to be a fight with the illness. The gastric ulcer that snatched his life began in particular with stomach and intestines disease. This article checked stomach and intestines disease of Soseki around <I Am a Cat> and <Manchuria and Korea, Here and There>. And I considered a motive of Soseki who carried out trip to Manchuria and Korea while feeling pain for stomach disease. I arranged the figure which made an effort to treat chronic stomach disease of Soseki and the disease through a pain Kusami suffered from stomach disease in <I Am a Cat>. I grasped the pain of the stomach which Soseki expressed openly in an extension line of stomach and intestines disease in the Manchuria and Korea and considered the motive that tried a 42-day trip in such situation. The motive of the trip to Manchuria and Korea tried approach from a homey reason of Soseki and a social cause. The times that Soseki lived in were wartime. Not only Manchurian and Korea which were Sino-Japanese War, a battlefield of the Russia and Japan war for Soseki who had a suffering of the draft evasion by oneself were objects of the interest, but also a desire to want to confirm the Japanese actual situation that opened a colonial policy was underlying in Asia in those days. In addition, the homey agony that I experienced from early childhood reminds Soseki of the absence of the position feeling, and there is the desire that I want to escape from the tangle with the father-in-law who restricts the life of oneself even after it is come of age to, and the other motive that it came to leave for Manchurian and the trip to Korea can consider it that it was. As for stomach and intestines disease of Soseki, it was the gastric ulcer that with the nervous breakdown namely a mental disease was accompanied by not inflammation of the simple stomach and bowels and enlarged it and I died and have driven him after all. I think that the reason why Soseki started on trip to Manchuria and Korea is that he wanted to explore a solution out of stomach and intestines disease and mental agony.
