然而，日本学者普遍认为，它是在第十世纪的最后四分之一写的。与其他描写平安都城贵族生活的文学作品不同，《大久保夫人的故事》充满了极端残忍的例子，并包含了一些低级幽默的段落。作为后者的例子，我们发现男人在一个雨夜陷入路边的污物，一个好色的老人发生了事故，在他急于“强奸女主角”的过程中弄脏了他的长袍。为了弥补整个作品大部分缺乏宫廷优雅和感性，读者对第九和第十世纪的朝臣和宫廷女士的生活进行了生动的描述。详细描述了精心制作的生日庆祝活动和结婚仪式，对官僚晋升的焦虑，以及交换诗歌和礼物的做法。这个故事情节的统一在当时是不寻常的。大久保夫人被她残忍的继母北之形强迫，可怜地住在她父亲豪宅的地下室里。作为一个熟练的女裁缝，她被分配给家庭成员缝制长袍的繁重任务。一个英俊的年轻贵族开始秘密地拜访她，被他心爱的人在自己家里过着严酷的生活所激怒，他发誓要让那些负责的人受苦。一天晚上，英雄灵魂夫人Ochikubo离开，并建立了她作为他的家庭主妇。然后，他继续对大久保夫人的家庭成员进行报复：其中一个继姐妹失去了丈夫，另一个被骗嫁给了一个名副其实的傻瓜。事实上，年轻的白马王子的报复性是令人震惊的，但最终他试图弥补他的许多残忍行为，慷慨的大久保夫人的困惑父亲在他的溺爱与伟大的荣誉和奢侈的礼物。虽然是一个孝顺女儿的典范，但女主角太完美了，令人难以置信，她的个性缺乏任何真实的深度。至于主人公，他太粗俗和无情的吸引力，尽管他最终转变。一切都结束了，大久保夫人享受着做梦也想不到的声望，因为她忠诚的丈夫获得了全能的951
unknown; however, Japanese scholars generally agree that it was written during the last quarter of the tenth century. Unlike other literary works dealing with aristocratic life in the Heian capital, The Tale of the Lady Ochi\ubo abounds in instances of extreme cruelty and contains passages of low humor. As examples of the latter, we find men getting mired in the roadside filth on a rainy night and a lecherous old man having an accident and soiling his robes in his eagerness to' ravish the heroine. Compensating for the paucity of courtly elegance and sensibility throughout the greater part of the work, the reader is given a vivid account of life among the courtiers and court ladies of the ninth and tenth centuries. Described in detail are elaborate birthday celebrations and marriage ceremonies, the anxiety regarding promotion in the bureaucracy, and the practice of exchanging poetry and gifts. The story has a unity of plot unusual for its time. Lady Ochikubo is forced by her cruel stepmother, the Kita no Kata, to live wretchedly in the basement of her father's mansion. Being a skilful seamstress, she is assigned the onerous task of sewing robes for the members of the household. A handsome young nobleman begins visiting her in secret and, incensed by the harsh life his beloved is made to lead in her own home, he vows to make those responsible suffer. One night the hero spirits Lady Ochikubo away and establishes her as the mistress of his household. He then proceeds to wreak vengeance upon the members of Lady Ochikubo's family: one of the stepsisters is made to lose a husband and another tricked into marrying a veritable dunce. Indeed, the vindictiveness of the young Prince Charming is appalling, but in the end he attempts to make amends for his numerous acts of cruelty by lavishing Lady Ochikubo's bewildered father in his dotage with great honors and extravagant gifts. Though a paragon of a filial daughter, the heroine is too perfect to be believable and her personality lacks any real depth. As for the hero, he is too vulgar and heartless to be appealing, despite his eventual transformation. All ends well with Lady Ochikubo enjoying undreamed of prestige, for her devoted husband attains the all-powerful 951
