| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on the Japanese adaptations of the tragedy Hamlet, this research has examined the complex and dynamic “mechanism of rewriting,” in which so many various factors (such as Japanese social, economic, political conditions and cultural and ideological trends, as well as the adapter’s literary taste and talent, etc.) work together to shape the text of the adaptation. The research has shown that even when adapters seem to be taking an honorific and emulative approach to this world-famous tragedy, regarded as the epitome of Western modernity, their rewriting reveal, in complicated and often contradictory ways, a defiant, rebellious, or even vengeful attitude toward the canonicity and authority that the play represents.
