太宰治『鏗鏗鏘鏘』論－帶有諷刺意涵的 「苦惱」

'Tokatonton'' of Dazaiosamu: ''Worries'' of Irony

太宰治『鏗鏗鏘鏘』是1947年1月發表在『群像』的短篇小說。所謂「鏗鏗鏘鏘」是鐵鎚的敲打聲，這個字是太宰治從當時的讀者來信中得到的靈感所創作出來的。太宰說要用「鏗鏗鏘鏘」這個代表聲音的詞彙描寫出戰敗後當時「年輕人的苦惱」。而在『鏗鏗鏘鏘』這個作品中，明確的寫出了當時所發生的社會事件及其時間。如「昭和20年8月15日正午」的玉音放送，戰敗後的「新元兌換運動」「勞工遊行」「新憲法」等，當時的社會現象都被寫入作品中。在這樣的社會狀況中，「當今年輕人的苦惱」是什麼樣的苦惱，有被釐清的必要。本論著眼於「苦惱」的表現方式，試圖將其內涵之意義闡述出來。此外，『鏗鏗鏘鏘』是一篇由青年的信及「某作家」的回信所構成的作品。本論首先將探討青年的信中多次出現之「鏗鏗鏘鏘」之意義，再配合「某作家」的回信，論及1946年的「當今年輕人的苦惱」，也討論描繪出此「苦惱」的創作方式。
