碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 日本語文學研究所 === 107 === This thesis focuses on Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s(1892-1927) works from the perspective of the femininity. The selected works in this thesis: “Kaikanoryoujinn,” “Kikainasaikai,” “Aki,” “Konannoougi” have common in describing women in fluctuate generations. Consequently, I would like to base on this aspect to explore females’ lifestyle in different time backgrounds. In chapter 1, I will put the attention to a woman called Katsumi whose husband Miura deeply influenced by Western culture in Meiji era in the story of “Kaikanoryoujinn.” In chapter 2, I aim to explore a China woman Oasu, who was carried to Japan after First Sino-Japanese War, her mind changing and life way in the story of “Kikainasaikai.” In chapter 3, I will discuss “Aki”, a story which illustrated an educated woman Nobuko’s lifestyle in Taishō era. In chapter 4, I will centralize the discussion to a womanGannhou who lived in Konan in begin 20th century in “Konannoougi.” According to above research, we could divide three characters under Akutagawa’s writing, which are: Women with strong feminism, women with their objects, and women who are controlled by Male chauvinism. By viewing different females’ lifestyle in different times, we could counter recognize Ryunosuke Akutagawa’s prospective to 19th to 20th century.
