An Analysis of the Reconstruction of the Image of Zi Lu in Disciples and the Source of the Author's Creative Thoughts
Based on Chinese classics,Disciplesis a short story adapted by Japanese writer Nakajima Atsushi with Zi Lu as the protagonist.In the reconstruction of the image of Zi Lu,Nakajima Atsushi has endowed Zi Lu with a new image of"loyalty to nature"on the basis of following the classics.The reconstruction of this image re-flects his thought that"man does not have free will,and fate will control man in a way that is drawn by nature".This thought is not only rooted in Nakajima's personal experience and the turbulent social situation at that time,but also closely related to Schopenhauer's pessimistic fate theory.The interpretation of this creation will help to grasp the overall image of Nakajima Atsushi as a writer,and at the same time,it will also be enlightening to re-read and examine the Chinese traditional classics
