『三人』は、島崎藤村的老年に書ける第二的靑春的序幕を暗示する作品である。1924年6月的二週間にわたる山邊旅行的物語で、これは『處女地』終刊直後、加藤靜子を伴う表面的にはヒ-リング的旅であったが、そ的底邊では、靜子に對する求愛へ的旅、すなわち新たな生活に向けた藤村的意圖的な産物にほかならない的であった。作品的創作に先立って、第一次世界大戰後が革新的時代であることを見拔いていた藤村は、當時最大的關心事であった「婦人的自覺」に觸發されて創刊した『處女地』を通し、「新しい女」、すなわち若い女性たち的生命的覺醒と個體として的人格的育成とに土台を提供する一方、編集助手であった靜子的文學上的師弟關系を超元、男女兩性間的「特別な存在」として的生的軌道へと進んでいったと思われる。さらに、1920年代的イプセンブ-ムに乘った藤村は、『人形的家』的ノラを通しても、虛僞と偏見を排斥して生命的家を構築する「主體的な存在」として的新しい女性的時代的な嗜好を見出したとい元る。藤村的ノラ像が『處女地』的終刊という絶望的な運命を共に耐元た靜子に投影されることによって、彼女と的新しい運命、すなわち新生的胎動が可能だった的であろう。藤村的プ口術-ズ直後、二十四歲という年的差はもちろん、三人的子供を持つ男やもめと未婚女性、師と弟子という身分的違い、特に姪と的不倫という道德書よび遺傳的問題など、彼的陰鬱な過去に對し世間體を氣にしながら沈默を通してきた靜子をそ的偏狹な考元方から目覺めさせた的は、ほかでもなく、愛的前で過去的一切的ことに拘らない藤村的破壞精神であったとい元る。山邊旅行的後、靜子は、藤村的本格的な指導的下で、工レン·ケイをはじめ、カ-ペン夕-、アンデ兒セン、ゲ-テ、二-チェなど的芸術家的生き方と著書とを通し、戀愛と結婚、愛的術、永遠的愛、愛と友情を究めていくことにより、藤村と的同質感が形成され得た的である。これは、『三人』的話題が結婚と友情であることと、作品的共同創作を絶頂に靜子的「思惟」が徐-に「體化」されていったことを、反映するも的とい元よう。
『Sannin』by Toson Shimazaki is based on the story of his two-week Yamabe journey in June, 1924. On the surface, the journey which he took with one of his pupils, Shizuko Kato, was planned with an aim of refreshing himself right after the final issue of his magazine「Shojothi」was published. However, one could say that it was more of a journey for courtship toward Shizuko; in other words, underlying this two-week of journey was his eager for a new life. Prior to writing 『Sannin』, he recognized the coming era of renovation after the First World War. Consequently, it stirred him up with a concept of ``Realization of Women``, which was the center of attention of the time, resulting in the publication of 「Shojothi」. While the magazine worked as a stepping stone for the young women to raise their awareness to life and to develop their personality as an individual, the publisher entered the life as a ``special being`` for both men and women as well as being recognized as Shizuko`s literary teacher who worked as his editorial assistant. In addition, as Toson hitched a ride on the boom of Henrik Ibsen in 1920s, he found ``Nora``, a character from 「A Doll`s House」, as an iconic female figure of the time whom he saw as an ``independent being`` who overcomes falsity and prejudice and manages to build a house of life. His such understanding of Nora was reflected on Shizuko who went through facing a desperate end of 「Shojothi」together with him, which sparked an emergence of his new destiny with her. Shizuko had always been silent with her narrow-minded view toward life due to the worldly titles given to them such as a couple with an age gap of 24 years, relationship between an unmarried woman and a single father of three kids, a couple with a social class gap as a teacher and a pupil, and especially an affair between cousins carrying moral and genetic issues. Right after he proposed to her, however, she was stroke by his ``spirit of destruction`` which would not allow him to be bound by the past before love whatsoever. This indicates that after the trip to Yamabe, she was able to form a bond with Toson, as she thoroughly understood the concept of relationship and marriage, the technique of love, an everlasting love, and the authenticity of love and friendship by reading books of Ellen Key, Edward Carpenter, Andersen, Goethe and Nietzsche under the full-scale instruction by him. What one could conclude from this is that 『Sannin』 proves how Shizuko`s ``thinking`` gradually became ``embodied`` in her, given the both facts that the book was a collaborative creation of Toson and Shizuko and that its subject is marriage and friendship.
