The spiritual runaway and its sublimation In the two novels by Kyusaku Yumeno, "Dr. Inugami" and "Dr. Higeno, a superhuman"

Abstract

This paper points out the influence of the Noh script on the structure of Kyusaku Yumeno's two novels. Yumeno's two novels, "Dr. Inugami" and "Dr. Chojin," have a structure that cannot be captured within the framework of modern novels. It was clarified that these two novels were written by Yumeno with the two-part composition of the Noh script in mind. In addition, by abandoning the "personality" that the hero is bound by sociality, he sublimated the anxiety about the relationship between the hero and society, and clarified the path for the hero to become a "superhuman."
