Andre Gide’s The Mirror has many similarities with Akutagawa’s The Nose in that they have a reversal phenomenon that delusion talks to reality. This expression is related to the novels’ dual structure. Mise en abyme suggested by Gide refers to the novel’s dual structure, which affected the relationship between Gide and Akutagawa through Gide’s literature. Further, it is also related to Flemish Art mentioned by Gide. Future research should expand to Flemish Art presented as an example for Gide’s Mise en abyme. Akutagawa’s literature not being noticed so far and Mise en abyme technique require analysis from a broader perspective. With comparative research on Gide and Akutagawa, research is required on overall Akutagawa’s literature in terms of the two authors’ expression, techniques, and composition from a broader perspective.
