《斜阳》中贵族意识的矛盾性

The Contradictoriness in Aristocratic Consciousness in “Setting Sun”

作品《斜阳》如书名一样,描写了二战之后,日本天皇制瓦解,导致日本贵族阶级名存实亡。贵族身份的瓦解使名门贵族的地位边缘化,贵族们受到了来自社会和心理的双重压力。因此,作品中的主要人物和子一家虽出身贵族,但对于贵族身份的认知充满了矛盾。

The novel ＂ Setting Sun＂ , as the name reveals, describes the situation where after the Second World War Japanese Mikado System collapsed so that the aristocratic class existed in name only. The noble families＇ status has been marginalized and have double pressure from society and their own hearts. Therefore,the main character is from a noble family but she has contradictory understanding of her noble identity.
