Abstract
As a member of a society, a writer’s works contain social norms. In that sense, it is possible to find out Mishima Yukio’s ideas on Japan and its people in the short story “Yūkoku”, which has been translated into English as “Patriotism”. The characters of the story are presumed to represent Mishima’s thoughts on the Emperor, the Japanese nation and Japanese women as well. Therefore, the analysis of this story enables the reader to understand the coherence between fact and fiction.
Özet
