This story is about a conman named Fargo, and his assistant, a father and his hearing-impaired daughter. They form a traveling company that gives shows on ghosts, miracles, mathematical wonders and other dubious supernatural phenomena. The company is in needy circumstances, thus, the father and daughter are unable to leave the company despite their desire to do so. But when their company falls into destitution, Fargo decides to make use of the handicapped girl for some ignoble purposes, which has made her father reluctant to remain in the company. At the end of the story, however, the girl refuses her father’s proposal of leaving Fargo and decides to stay with him. Her father ends up living in deep disappointment for the rest of his life. This story shares one of Henry James’s most prominent themes: innocence and reality. In this story, the inner thoughts, feelings, and emotions of the handicapped girl are never depicted. The narrator is also a character in the story. Thus, we are unable to enter the thoughts of the characters except for those of the narrator. In this sense, Henry James’s decision to write the story in the first person is appropriate as it keeps the girl’s decision to stay with Fargo a mystery. It can be said that “Professor Fargo” is one of the rare cases where the content and form harmoniously match.}, pages = {65--92}, title = {翻訳 ファーゴー教授}, volume = {5}, year = {2011} }
