These technicians are divided into two major categories. First in the case of Drowne and Watland their technique is combined with their intrinsic desire ro grasp the beautiful essence of humanity and to imitate the true movement of the nature as it is. Secondly in the case of Aylmer and Rappaccini, their technique accompanied with their perverted nature seeks to reconstruct the true essence of humanity, making a severe attack conceived in their quasi-scientific experimental deduction on the nature itself. In any case, to quote Aristotelian conception, any adopted weighed considered technique which could be otherwise, is certainly united with a rigorous autonomous ethical code which should not be otherwise. Here lies a deep meaning which indicates the formidable destiny of technique itself that could threaten the true and beautiful essence of humanity, very contrary to its initial intentions., Article, 信州大学教養部紀要. 第一部, 人文科学 6: 55-72(1972)}, pages = {55--72}, title = {ホーソーンの短篇小説における技術者の肖像}, volume = {6}, year = {1972} }
