碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 日本語文學研究所 === 94 === This thesis takes Atsushi, Nakajima’s four pieces of works, which applied the materials taken from the Chinese classic literature and were written on the second half of his writing life as the target of research to discuss the evolution of viewpoint toward life in his works. In the preface of this thesis, it describes the research motivation, antecedent research, the research scope, and the research method. Chapter one discusses all factors on how Nakajima formed his view toward destiny, including his background, family, and the view toward destiny adapted from the Chinese philosophy. Chapter two describes human beings’ helpless feeling on their view toward destiny through ‘Sangetsuki’. In chapter three, via ‘Deshi’, it describes that after his experience back from South Sea Islands, Nakajima’s view toward destiny was changed. The leading role in “Deshi” had jumped out of the helpless feeling on destiny, yet he still didn’t have an idea on how to balance between destiny and self. In chapter four, it describes Nakajima’s understanding to destiny, as well as his positive attitude to face the fate via ‘Kouhuku’ with the idea of Taoism. In chapter five, through the exploration of the characters’ way of life in ‘Riryou’, it describes that Nakajima’s view toward destiny in his works is more positive than before. Final chapter concludes that Nakajima’s view toward destiny was affected by the positive view from Chinese philosophy, and that while suffering from miserable life, figures in his works gradually changed their views toward destiny in a positive way.
