Consciousness of Civilized Development and Individual Gloominess——New Explication of Sōseki Natsume's Ten Nights of Dream

Ten Nights of Dream is a psychological work written by Sōseki Natsume, who turned his attention to introspection after the extroversive civilized criticism in the novels of his earlier period.Although many divergences of views on Ten Nights of Dream exist, there are two aspects that we could make sure.
1.There are many stories about “wait” in Ten Nights of Dream.
2.Ten Nights of Dream is permeated with consciousness of death by a quantity of the deaths and the death scenes.
These two themes are the integration of the public consciousness of civilized development of his earlier period and the individual gloominess that came from the worry of live and the nightmare of death.They’re blended together to make the unique characteristic of abstruseness in Sōseki Natsume’s works.
