Osamu Dazai
He and his lover killed themselves at Tamariver on the 13th of June,1948.
Then a week after their dead bodies were found twokilometers down the river.
It was mystery that the day was his 39th birthday.
Osamu Dazai who was frightened by human and couldn't be a human is one of the most favorite arthor for me.
About a year ago,I read "NINGEN SIKKAKU" that is his most important work.
When I finished to read this book,I was very shocked that my view of life was changed.
This story's central figure is Osamu Dazai.
He didn't know the way to communicate his opinions to human.
So he acted like a clown for being pleased human.
He was afrraid that human went away from him.
His last love for human was performance.
When I read this part, I thought I was like him somewhere.
I often do something even if I don't want to do.
But I think everybody experienced that.
He was so weak that he can't ask human for help.
At last he became anarcotic.
He said that he spent his life with many disgrace.
He couldn't push people aside to get better life.
I think he was pure, he is a real human.
But he was too weak,too frail.
I want that he would fight against human's egoism because of he was not said failure of human.
上記は学生時代、スピーチコンテスト用に書いた『人間失格』の感想文。
言い回しがヘタで非常に稚拙な英文であるが、言いたい内容は日本語で感じたことそのまま。
文学作品というのは、どうも足が遠のきがちだが、何のきっかけがあったのか、この作品を読んでみた。
今から１０年以上も前のこと。
何不自由ない家庭に生まれ、恵まれた環境の中で育った彼だが、彼にはどうしても人間というものが理解できなかった。
しかし人間への執着は捨てきれず、ピエロになることでなんとかこの世を生きる。
ある時、自分が見下していた人物から道化をみやぶられ絶句する。
他人。
不可解な他人。
秘密だらけの他人。
やがて彼は荒れすさんだ生活を送り、ついには廃人になってしまう。
幸福も不幸もなく、ただいっさいは過ぎてゆく。。。
想像を絶するなんともグレーな作品だが惹かれるものがあって、今までに幾度となく読んでいる。
太宰は、この作品を発表した年に愛人と情死した。
