Abstract |
This essay deals with "Sensei and his will" in Natsume Soseki's work "KOKORO" What I try to analyze here is Sensei's intrapersonal psychology, in other words, the relation between Sensei's Super-ego a...nd ego. The reason for this approach is because the transformation of Sensei's "nature" into "Fukashigina osoroshii chikara" or "strange and terrible force" after his friend K commits suicide reminds me of Freud's theory of super-ego development. However, it is not my intention to draw a moral conclusion about egoism and punishment. I want to consider this "Fukashigina osoroshii chikara" of the super-ego as a death instinct, diverted towards the external world and turned against the self. And through this attempt, I also deal with Soseki's "nature".show more
