Abstract |
Japanese modem literature has seen many descriptions of pulmonary tuberculosis ever since the first portrayals in Ryuro Hirotsu's Zangiku and in Roka Tokutomi's Hototogisu. This paper examines the mea...nings of the motif of death from pulmonary tuberculosis in Toshiko Tamura's literary works. We find a common role played by the motif of death from pulmonary tuberculosis both in the stories by Tamura in the Meiji era and in the story by Tokutomi: the heroines' death not only suggests the awful menace of the fatal disease to the heroines but also may symbolize their passive sacrifice under the oppression of the male-centric social system of the time, and, paradoxically, their release by means of death from such oppressive reality as well. However, Tamura's heroines in the Taisho era act otherwise: in spite of their fatal disease they try to fight the oppressive reality and claim their right to live as they desire.show more
