One of Ours 再考 : A Relationship without Sexuality One of Ours サイコウ : A Relationship without Sexuality A relationship without sexuality in Willa Cather's One of Ours 角田, 俊治 ツノダ, シュンジ Tsunoda, Shunji 933.7 relationship sexuality war Europe civilization Though Willa Cather's One of Ours, to which she devoted four years' struggle, was awarded Pulitzer Prize in 1923, critics' evaluation has been one of the worst of her novels. But Willa Cather herself was tenacious of insisting that this was her best novel and even said that Claude Wheeler, the hero, was her best tribute to Nebraska. The hero, the frustrated introvert living on a farm in Nebraska where the poineering days was gone, crosses the Atlantic to participate in the First World War and, interestingly, or rather, paradoxically, fulfills his life in the war. "Human relationships are the tragic necessity of human life," Willa Cather once said. Thus, she is known to have harbored a strong doubt about human relationships, sexual and marital relation in particular, and therefore, though there are so many elements interwoven, we concentrate our attention on Claude's human relationship shown in this novel and illustrate how his relationship forms his life and death. Further, we will see how the war, the worst evil, functioned as the place for a young, frustrated boy's fulfillment. 熊本大学 2001-03-01 jpn departmental bulletin paper VoR http://hdl.handle.net/2298/18191 https://kumadai.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/24592 0918-1512 AN10401515 熊本大学医療技術短期大学部紀要 11 7 15 https://kumadai.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/24592/files/MT0011_007-015.pdf application/pdf 2.0 MB 2020-03-02
