Sunset is a Japanese novel written after the Second World War, in which the confused ideas of the time make the author, Osamu Dazai, stick to the value system rebuilt in his inner world. But he suffered oppressions inevitably from both social reality and traditional conventions. The novel unveils the puzzlement and disillusion brought about by the deconstruction of self-identity, as well as reflects the growing-up process during the protagonist’s reconstruction of self-identity, which also implicates the developing process of the author’s own spirit. The fictional and realistic elements interweaving with each other constitute the growth theme in both transparent and obscure ways.% 《斜阳》创作于二战后的日本,混乱的时代思潮促使作者太宰治坚守自我内部重构的价值体系,却不可避免遭遇来自社会现实与传统制度的压抑。作品揭示了自我身份的消解带来的困惑与幻灭,着力刻画了女主人公在重构自我身份中的成长,同时蕴含着作者本人的精神成长历程。这种虚构与现实的要素共同构成了小说明暗交织的成长主题。
