Kenzaburo Oe published ”Changeling” in 2000 whose theme refers to father and a heritage of ultra-nationalism hidden within him. This infers that upon the publication of ”The young man who came late” in 1960, the theme of father and ultra-nationalism has been consistently used for as long as 40 years. Especially for ”The day that the Emperor will personally come and wipe my tears” which was published after the Mishima incident, the publication found out that the attempt to deny the significance of rebellion by father has led to scathing criticism against the reverence of the Emperor as well as nationalism by Yukio Mishima. Subsequently, this theme was carried through from ”Changeling” to ”The Douji who looks melancholy” in 2002 followed by ”Good bye My Book!” in 2005. Indeed, these publications had proven that both father and ultra-nationalism existed passionately in Oe's mind throughout the theme. What is then the image of father who revived in ”Changeling”? By paying attention to ”rebellion ” that is deeply related to the Mishima incident as well as focusing on the new image of father in trilogy after 2000, this thesis not only pursues father as an ultra-nationalist, but also unearths the intimate relationship between the criticism of the Mishima incident and the imperial system that was endeared by father. |
