정지용 시에 나타난 비애의 감각

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to trace how Jung Ji-yong's grief repeatedly expressed throughout his poetic world are formed and how those are transformed and influenced throughout his poetic world. In chapter two, I examined how the emotion of grief was a fundamental emotion for Jeong Ji-yong through religious poems and traced the source of it through his poems and prose. The sadness or sorrow caused by poverty was an important emotional state that appeared in his poetry as a living person during and after his study abroad. And another problem that lay at the source of Jeong Ji-yong's grief along with poverty was the problem of the colony. And the problem of colony could be said to form a grief of a different character from it caused by poverty. Because the grief caused by the colonial problem was beyond the individual level and had room to expand into a collective or ethnic one. In chapter three, the effect of the emotion of grief on Jeong Ji-yong's poetic world was specifically examined. The problem of poverty, which is the source of his grief, causes sadness or sorrow, and Jung Ji-yong has shown that he converts these emotions into sensuous expressions when he wants to express them poetically. And this means that Jeong's poetic sense may have been designed as a way to distance himself from or withstand feelings of grief. On the other hand, the problem of the colony, which was another source of grief, was mainly affecting the late poetry of Jung. In the late period of Jung Ji-yong's poetry, the feelings of worry were found to be somewhat different from the sadness and sorrow caused by poverty. This feeling of worry was not limited to personal feelings but was a form of grief extended to feelings for social and historical objects such as land and people. And the worry formed as a result of the operation of the colonial self-consciousness can be said to have driven the late poetic world of Jung Ji-yong to accept various situations and forms in poetry without limiting it to an ideal world such as seclusion or transcendence. In this process, Jeong Ji-yong was able to discover and poetize the image of the country that still retains pure beauty even in the impoverished colonial situation and the shape of the colonist who lives with persistent vitality in it.
