| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 日本語文學系 === 90 === The conflict produced from the distance between human's hearts is one of important themes often appears in Soseki's novels. It is because that the more for us to approach human's heart, the more difficult inconsistency and difficult collisions will arise, and that will make relationships more complicated, hardly for people to understand what are the real thoughts in other's heart. According to description of this text, to explore the aspect of various hearts hidden in reactions and actions of man is the starting point of this paper. This novel was combined in the memoirs and a will written by two persons belonging to different generations. "I" who wrote the memoirs was able to understand Sensei only from "my" own position. And "I" who wrote the will was painful in most of his life because he also could understand surrounding persons only from the position of "I". We can feel that this kind of unrealizable lonesomeness was strongly suggested in this novel. People did try hard to find where the troubles are in their relationships with others, but they always missed the chance to realize it because of persisting some personal reasons. Finally they still could not understand each other and trapped in solitude forever. Other character’s hearts are burdened their own lonesomeness, too. So that is a hint for me to think about: what kind of complicated feelings do these lonely people have and how is the situation in relationship between master and disciple, husband and wife, friend and friend, and parent and child? "Suspicion", "distance of the heart", "crimes", "death", etc. may be the best indices of reading this novel and providing us some clues to solve these questions I referred. Besides, what kind of influence does suspicion has on people's relationships, and how is distance of the heart formed are also the prime issues of this paper. By sticking to this novel, I want to show clearly how this work scooped out the aspect of man's heart minutely.
