This paper deals with novelist SOSEKI's techniques and attitudes, by analyzing the sentence structure in the first scene of MON. I have used "The Theory of Expressive Distance", Chapter 8 of the volume four of The Theory of Literature (1907, 5), and recent theories of space in linguistic expression. Two problems are clarified: (1) The author places the time of the first scene six years after the principal occurrence of the novel. (2) Even though in the first scene Sosuke, who has stolen his friend's wife and is obsessed with a sense of guilt, begins to doubt the way he is dealing with his sin, he doesn't act to achieve real redemption or personal salvation. The author, therefore, intervenes in Sosuke's inner life, freely changing the special point of reference. This paper elucidates the use of these two operations, by which the author constructs the characters in the story and develops the plot.
