| 内容記述 | Courtship has a romantic image, but as depicted in court literature it seems it was often an unpleasant experience for women. In this paper I will first examine the various ways in which men used both physical and psychological coercion as they courted reluctant women. While even Genji did not hesitate to frighten women by suddenly barging into their rooms, he quickly turned to calming them down and then seduced them. In some other cases, however, a man interprets a woman’s distress as a sign of docility and then rapes her. Men sometimes threatened women by suggesting that they might be subject to spirit possession or other grief if they did not return a man’s love. Men also made women feel guilt and responsibility by saying such things as, ‘it will be your fault if I kill myself to escape the suffering of this unrequited love.’ Men also pressured women using an illogical application of the common cultural concept that love is a matter of fate. When love is mutual it seems reasonable enough to claim that the relationship was destined, but the notion that unrequited love is fated is a one-sided, serve-serving argument. Finally, even though it seems it should have been counter-productive, there are a great many examples of men severely criticizing women whose love they hoped to win. Next, I will consider the significance of these coercive courtship strategies. One question is how do we evaluate men who used these strategies? While it is tempting to disparage them as scoundrels, we must consider the context. In the world depicted in court literature emotionality was highly esteemed, and often negatively contrasted with cold, calculating ambition. That value system placed love above everything else. As long as a man acted out of deep feeling, all else was forgiven. Another question is why did men find these strategies necessary? Why were women so often so reluctant to enter romantic relationships? My theory is this: Polygamy gave men the freedom to indulge in love as a pastime. A man would marry for social advancement, and then be free to pursue romance. A woman, on the other hand, usually had only one chance to make an advantageous marriage. Women had to choose their marriage partners wisely. In many of the love affairs depicted in court literature men were seeking love, while women sought secure social status and respectability. These drastically asymmetrical desires turned courtship into a power struggle in which men often used coercive methods to win. |
