비극성의 상실과 역사 왜곡 ‒겐로쿠 사건과 『 가나데혼 주신구라』의 상관성을 중심으로‒

Abstract

It is not coincident that disembowelment scene of the revenge success samurai was omitted in 『Ganadehon Chushingura』. It was already set when the writers envisioned the work. To finish the work with success of revenge, the writers made Kono Moronao as the bad man to be punished. Thus Obosi Uranoske and 46 samurais, as well as the Lord Enya Hangan became the good men to be contested. So 『Ganadehon Chushingura』 could not be tragedy. Tragedy have tragic end that were made by the man not good, not bad who made mistake in decision making. Finally 『Ganadehon Chushingura』 became melodrama, not tragedy. It seems that omission of disembowelment is trivial but it is important. Because it makes distortion of history. The incident Genroku was tragedy, but 『Ganadehon Chushingura』 was heroic exploits of revenge against bad man in privately. So Oishi Yoshio became a national hero who led revenge in modern Japan, and was introduced in the textbook. Because of the success of 『Ganadehon Chushingura』 and introduce in text books, Japanese people has had a positive impact on the incident Genroku, not terrorism but expression of royalty towards the Lord. It is hard to affirm that the introduction of incident Genroku could be the starting point of distortion of history, but could be said in the extension. The omission of the disembowelment scene of 『Ganadehon Chushingura』 made criminals as heroes.
