Billy Budd、Part 39の要約
49のPart 39 · partは33分で読めます
In The Apple-Tree Table, a father restores an attic table whose ticking frightens his daughters and unsettles his own disbelief in spirits. Two insects emerge from the wood, and Professor Johnson offers a natural explanation, while Julia finds a hopeful religious meaning in their emergence.
起こる出来事
- The narrator retrieves an apple-wood table and Cotton Mather’s book from the attic, despite his daughters’ fear of the furniture.
- While reading alone, he hears ticking; his wife traces the sound to the table and insists on keeping it.
- He catches an emerging insect under a tumbler, but Biddy burns it, and renewed ticking defeats his boast of solving everything.
- The family watches through the night, and a second shining insect emerges at dawn, delighting the frightened daughters.
- Professor Johnson explains the insects through eggs deposited in the living tree, while Julia sees evidence for hope in resurrection.
- The second insect dies the following day, and the daughters preserve it beside the repaired holes in the table.

注目するポイント
Julia’s belief survives the natural explanation, but its emotional meaning changes. The insect becomes a source of religious hope rather than fear.
