Abstract

Higuchi Ichiyou’ works described the vicissitudes of life of the middle and lower class people in Japan, depicting many female characters. Female characters in Higuchi ichiyou’s works began to understand themselves and have deeper thoughts about their existence. After the awakening of self-awareness, these female characters have a bold pursuit. They pursue the free love and the equal marriage life between men and women, and they also express their emotional and social needs. However, the above is only the initial awakening of self-consciousness, once it meets resistance, it is easy to compromise and fall into a lost state, which is the limitation of the female self-consciousness in Higuchi ichiyou’s works.
