Rashomon
and Other Stories (1915) Through a selection of short stories and the film Rashomon, this
lesson introduces students to the works of famous Japanese writer
Akutagawa Ryunosuke. Aside from literary analysis of the pieces,
students will also engage in highly conceptual philosophical discussions
about human ethics and morality, and the unattainability of absolute
truth. The short stories will also be examined as a reflection of
the writer's personal life. A lesson plan and a biography of Ryunosuke
are included. Gina Barresi
