아쿠타가와(芥川)의 『아키(秋)』小考 - 노부코(信子)의 조형(造型)과 그 관련성을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between Nobuko’s character modeling and its relevance to the female character Mineko in Sannsirou by Soseki Natsume and to the female character Naoko in Naoko by Tatsuo Hori. On this basis, this study analyzes Nobuko’s process of woman modeling and what human awareness is in effect. As a result, in Sannsirou, Aki and Naoko, the extensions in these works are related to the three female characters portrayed in the stories. In Aki, the modeling of Nobuko must be mentioned with Sorekara and Sannsirou. In Sannsirou’s Mineko and Aki’s Nobuko, the stories unfold and end at the time of marriage. Furthermore, the process of modeling of Nobuko can be verified by comparing their marital lives. In conclusion, Nobuko is a woman who gains sensible living security while chasing fictitious fantasy. In view of a woman who has written a novel, or a common woman who has not given up her love for a man to another woman, one cannot find such an attractive woman as Mineko in Sannsirou. Perhaps a modern woman like Nobuko may have been a type of woman created within that custom at that time and a woman whom Akutagawa had to face.
