Summary

芥川は22歳のときに、幼馴染みの吉田弥生という女性に恋をました。弥生に縁談の話が持ち上がった23歳のとき、芥川はプロポーズをしたいと養父母の芥川家の両親と伯母のフキに相談します。しかし、弥生が私生児であったことや士族出身ではなかったこと、さらに同い年だったという理由のため、猛反対されプロポーズを断念させられています。『鼻』は、そのような背景の中で書かれたそうです。内道場供奉というのは、宮中に仕える高僧だそうです。いわば俗世間とは無縁であろう高僧が世間体を気にしていることや、その人物像を醜く描写しているところなど、当時の芥川のやりきれない気持ちがよく現れていると思います。(C)2007 TOKYO FM & Appleway
