ABSTRACT

After the second world war, the Japanese literary world ushered in the birth of "As A Person" magazine in the 1960s. Takahashi Kazumi is one of the most famous writers assembled around the magazine. Takahashi Kazumi has multiple thoughts on law and power in his masterpiece The Vessel of Sorrow. The polyphonic presentation of the novel eliminates the single perspective of the protagonist as the observed subject or the observed object, so that the work presents a deeper connotation. This paper interprets the work through the theory of "polyphonic", and analyzes the author's multiple thoughts on law and power, authority, ideal and reality contained in The Vessel of Sorrow.
