Regarding to Kawabata Yasunari’s prose, The Cornel Stealer, many commentators focus, in the context, on “Korean candy”, in which the author’s view about the diversity of characters and cultures of people have been windly discussed. In this paper , however, we omit such a perspective and intend to explore other point of view. “The Cornel Stealer” is composed of two sections. The first section is mainly about the conversations between the woman who run an eatery and the postman.The second section is about what happened on the way when the girl who burned charcoal, the way to produce wood coal, sent the cornel and wood coal to thank to the doctor in the village. While the value and the number of word in the two respective sections are about on a par,why did the author choose to give “The Cornel Stealer” as the title of this prose ? The following three key points are going to be discussed in this paper: 1. Money and cornel, 2. The woman and the girl, 3. The title “The Cornel Stealer” |
