I try to study on the similarity between two characters focusing on Sayoko who figures in GUBIZINSOU written by Souseki(the Newspaper of ASAHI(1907.6.23∼10.29)) and Otama who figures in GAN written by Oogai(SUBURU(1911～1913)). And I study on the intention of the writer through the difference of the psychological change and their different fate. At first the similarity of two women seems to be next. First, I was able to find out the similarity between two actress. They were described as beautiful and traditional women who playing the geomungo and the samisen. And They just lived with their father a lonely and poorly. Sayoko obeyed her father in the decision to marry and Otama became a mistress of Suezou for her poor father. Second, I was able to find out the difference between Sayoko's psychological changes and Otama's ones. Souseki only described the image of women who not change psychologically. But Oogai described images of women who have many kinds of styles and have change psychologically. Eventually Through the marriage of Sayoko and Ono, Souseki intend to inspire a sense of morality into modern people who are living in the fierce competition. But their future that is accompanied by a lack of affection and a sacrafice of Huzio is not bright. Because Souseki faced a destiny of loneliness in human who is living in modern society, this marriage couple become the sample of one who have a dismal married life and appear in the work of Souseki later. Otama intended to overcome her fate which live with another person in a centered, failed. In the end she is a women who resigned herself to her fate. This character reflect the resignation of Oogai about reality.
