Abstract

Endo's novel Deep River focuses on a character named Mitsuko. The structure of the novel is paralleled with that of Jungian Psychology and guides the reader through the collective unconsciousness called 'Basement of The Temple', which is the Hindu Chamunda, an archetype of the collective unconscious. The Chamunda guides people to the world of death, but promises them a new life. Mitsuko, who commits evil but saves people, is compared with the Chamunda. Her evil leads people to a new life, so the evil ceases to be evil.
