The Problem Found in the Tenth Scene of Kirare no Senta

Abstract

This play, which consists of ten scenes, has a big gap between the first nine scene and the final scene. There are two different attitudes among researchers: one is to regard the finalscene as unnecessary, and the other is to insist that it is indispensable in spite of the gap. This is an attempt to support the second opinion, and to point out the errors and ambiguity of the first attitude by explaining the sjgnificance of the tenth scene.
