%X Ry¨±nosuke Akutagawa¡¯s In a Grove fuses the ¡°call of the Wild¡± and the ¡°call of the West¡± to deconstruct the singularity of truth through seven contradictory testimonies. Departing from the life-or-death dilemma in Rash¨­mon, this work exposes how shame and despair distort humanity. While Akira Kurosawa¡¯s film implants a ¡°quasi-truth¡± to bridge narrative gaps through humanistic hope, Akutagawa¡¯s skepticism reveals language¡¯s opacity and truth¡¯s relativity¡ªan enduring modern predicament.
