In the writings of the Japanese novelist, Yukio Mishima, primal scene experiences and derivative expressions of them recur persistently. The element of fire figures prominently in connection with the wish to wreak vengeance on the persons originally observed in the act of intercourse. As a destructive, attention-compelling spectacle, fire is a particularly suitable vehicle for this purpose. In Mishima's works, revenge takes the form of retaliation in kind: parental figures, or their surrogates, are put into the position of having to observe the child, or substitutes for him, in the act of sexual infidelity. These observations as well as clinical reports in the literature suggest some insights into fantasies of pyromania. They also make possible certain speculations concerning Misima's turbulent life and dramatic suicide.
在日本小说家三岛由纪夫的作品中，原初场景体验及其衍生表达反复出现。火的元素在与对最初在性交行为中被观察到的人进行复仇的愿望相关联时显著凸显。作为一种具有破坏性且引人注目的景象，火特别适合用于此目的。在三岛的作品中，复仇采取以牙还牙的报复形式：父母形象或其替代者被迫处于不得不目睹孩子或其替代者进行性不忠行为的境地。这些观察以及文献中的临床报告为纵火狂幻想提供了一些见解。它们也使得对三岛动荡的生活和戏剧性自杀进行某些推测成为可能。
