Abstract

<p>Ōgai Mori's “Maihime” is a standard story in the teaching of kokugo at high schools; indeed even now it is reprinted in thirteen different textbooks. In the classroom, however, it has been still read as a story about the awakening and failure of modern ego, regardless of the fact that there are a great variety of interpretations made of the text in studies on modern literature. Thus this paper will give an alternative way of reading it by focusing on the narrator's unconscious in the note of his separation from Elise at the port of Saigon.</p>
