魯迅の小説の一側面 : 主として作品「藥」について

Abstract

The early creative works of Lu Hsün show in many places the symbolistic and somber influence of the Russian author L. Andreev (1871-1919). Lu Hsün became interested in Andreev's works while he was a student in Japan, where they had been translated and introduced by Futabatei Shimei, Mori Ogai and others, and had aroused considerable attention as the representatives of a new literary trend. Lu Hsün himself translated and introduced to China four works of Andreev, and it was under this author's influence that he began his career as a creative writer. At the same time Lu Hsün, because of his own tenacious and characteristic way or' thinking, eventually broke free from the influence of Andreev. The purpose of this study is to discover, by approaching the problem from various points of view, what Lu Hsün's own particular mode of thought was, and how he came to break from the influence of Andreev. Through an analysis of Lu Hsün's early work Yao 藥 an attempt has been made to demonstrate in concrete terms the influence of Andreev's writings on the construction and method of expression used in the novel, as well as Lu Hsün's response to this influence, and to show how Lu Hsün's mode of thought, developed from these two opposing forces.
