The authors of this paper, from the perspective of marriage and family ethics, interpret Aguan, the heroine of The Thirteen Nights, and discuss the female image of the awakening and abandonment in the family and marriage, under the constraints of social ethics and in the conflict with the ideal marriage expected by husbands. This female image shows that in the process of social change in the Meiji period, the female consciousness began to germinate, but under the oppression of patriarchy and the right of husband, the struggle was finally abandoned. Their self-consciousness and limitations of their own knowledge led to the sadness of women.
