志賀直哉 「惡作劇」論－漱石 「少爺」的影響

Naoya Siga’s theory of“Itadura”; The influence of Soseki Natsume’s“Bottyan”

本論文主要是探討志賀作品「惡作劇」與漱石作品「少爺」之間的影響關係。關於「惡作劇」這篇作品，志賀曾在「続々創作餘談」（『世界』昭和三十年六月）中提及此篇作品乃改自友人「野尻抱影」的實際經驗談。對照參閱「野尻抱影」的回憶錄「惡作劇內情」（『山‧星‧雲』平成二年十一月、沖積社），的確，志賀的作品是參考「野尻抱影」的實際體驗為底本撰寫而成的。但是，關於「惡作劇」作品的影響關係卻不只如此。這點可由「惡作劇」作品中明確地點出漱石「少爺」之作品名可看出。確實，漱石的作品「少爺」中有許多小說要素，直接或間接地反映在志賀「惡作劇」裡，兩篇作品在故事人物的關係設定、作品表現方式也都極其相似。但是檢閱志賀日後的言論後，卻完全沒有提及漱石的這篇作品。當時日本文壇中，應該無人不曉漱石的作品「少爺」，然而志賀卻刻意在日後言論中，唯獨遺漏這篇作品？這也是我們需要探討的要點。研究方法上，將以文本閱讀的方式來解讀這兩篇作品。透過志賀作品中所呈現的〈漱石〉要素，以這樣的觀點來探討，才能找到存在於志賀與漱石兩者在創作方法中本質上的問題。

This essay is mainly discussing the interactive relation between“Itadura” and “Bottyan”. Concerning “Itadura”, Siga mentioned that thisfiction had been adapted from the real experience of his friend, HoeiNojiri. In comparison with Nojiri’s memoirs, Siga’s work was indeedcreated, basing on Nojiri’s experience.There is more than one influence on “Itadura”, however. It’s veryobvious for the name of Natsume’s “Bottyan” was indicated in “Itadura”.In fact, there are many elements of fiction, which appeared in Natsume’s“Bottyan” also reflected in Siga’s “Itadura” directly or indirectly. Buthardly can we find out a fact that he never mentioned Natsume’s“Bottyan” when looking over Siga’s statement afterward. What’s Siga’smotive? How did Natsume’s “Bottyan” affect Siga’s “Itadura”? Besides,why was this fiction omitted in Siga’s statement intentionally?To interpret these two works, poring over textbooks is the best wayto study. Only through the “Soseki” element presented in Siga’s fictionscan we find out the essential doubts existing in Siga and Natsume’swriting methods.
