Creation background

In the sixth year of Showa, Osamu Dazai lived with the first generation, and then began to engage in the proletarian movement, so he moved several times. During this period, he found that his wife, whom he had always trusted, had an affair with others before he knew him, and his heart was greatly hit. So he went to Aomori police station and surrendered himself, ending his proletarian revolutionary career. In Showa 10, Osamu Dazai tried to hang himself in Liancang Mountain.

Artistic feature

Human Disqualification adopts the first-person narrative, and the protagonist forms the whole article in the form of three "notes", which increases the sense of reality when reading. Disqualification on Earth is also characterized by structural irony, that is, the plot of the novel presents "deviation" and "mutual opposition", especially in the characterization of Ye Cang in public.

This contradictory narrative has a strong mutual subversion, which requires readers to go beyond the single perspective of non-ironic narrative and constantly "falsify and re-recognize" the narrative object. The so-called falsification identification refers to changing the perspective of the same person or thing with the help of other people or things in different links of narrative, thus transforming plane understanding into three-dimensional understanding.
