일본 근대시대 물리학교 출신의 영광과 좌절 고찰

This is a summary of what I have analyzed. First, the author, Nastume Soseki, wrote that the main character, Botchan, graduated without complaints when he was told to just graduate, since he went to the physics school for 3 years. It was actually represented in the opposite direction of the circumstance of then physics school in "도련님(Young Master)". In the story exists the expression speaking in a humble way to lower oneself most and respect others, which is an attribute of Japanese. Next, it was an unprecedented treatment that Botchan received 40 yens for his initial salary as a math teacher of a middle school in Shikoku after graduating from a physics school. That emblematizes the glory of a physics school graduate and shows that a physics graduate was recognized with great dignity in the circles of the teaching profession at that time. Lastly, in the modern period of Japan, once one graduated from the Empire University, he or she could serve as a high-ranking official or in an administrative position, getting a high salary. However, although those from the Empire University could be superior in academy, there were also people who were not superior in human nature. The author described the dark aspects of creating power of modern academic cliques in detail through "Young Master". Botchan didn't admit Akashirt, who was from the Empire University, to be the strong, distrusted and tried to conflict with him. It necessarily led Botchan to frustration and defeat.
