Among various writing background of Rasyomon, there can be counted on fingers Akutagawa's heart-break as one of the most important reason.
Such loneliness of heart-break made him write a delightful novel aparted from the reality as possible. Because of foster parents and uncle's egoism, Akutagawa who gave up to marry Yoshida described persistent and clear egoism through the servant's psychological state out of the actor in Rasyomon. In other words, the main theme of Rasyomon is based on the egoism, such as, the trend of servant s mental state and inevitably criminal act to survive in life.
This egoism is a sort of severe experience against failure love of Akutagawa himself, and so, this novel was written under the unavoidable reality, abominable actualism between foster parents and writer himself.
