Outline (in English)

In this class,we'll read "The Tale of Genji”focusing Kaoru who is the main character of Uzi Zyuzyo(宇治十帖)-the second half of the story.Kaoru has a secret birth and has a complex personality. Therefore Kaoru was misanthropic and timid in love. Kaoru wants to be a priest and continues to sway with religious spirit and love, resulting in loss of love one after another. Such a hero image is the exact opposite of Hikaru Genji or a typical hero image of the story so far. Why did the story need such a hero image? Also, how was such a hero image accepted in posterity? We need to consider such issues through the analysis of the story or knowing oh the reception of "The Tale of Genji".
