파리장서사건 주역의 항일 의식과 문학 -위관 윤충하의 ‘死而後已’ 정신과 미학적 특징-

Abstract

Yun Chungha left Geochang in his early years and stayed in Seoul when he steadfastly resisted against the barbarous invasion and plunder of the country and national sovereignty by the Japanese imperialism throughout his life, armed with the spirit of 'Only with death does his course stop'. Moreover, he not only took part in Gyonam Society, Daehan Jaganghoe to strive to stage a patriotic enlightenment movement but also engaged in mobilizing a volunteer army led by Choi Ikhyun, and orchestrated the Paris Jangseo Incident and a movement to restore the dignity of King Gojong as one of the key members of Taegeukgyo religion. In short, Wigwan’s life is a living history of relentless struggles and resistance against the brutal Japanese invasion and plunder. Unlike his life marked by a checkered history of fight and resistance, his literary world portrays his personal and humanistic aspects with a wide variety of horizons. Some of his works express nostalgia of his hometown and his apologetic feelings to his family while others depict Japanese invasion of sovereignty as well as he his sorrow of ruined country and despair of reality under the circumstance of stripped sovereignty with a moderately composed stroke. His writing commemorating comrades who passed away while fighting and resisting against the Japanese Invasion portrays the sadness of losing soul friends and comrades who shared life and death, joy and sorrow. In addition, Wigwan who stayed in Seoul after leaving his family in his hometown recalled his past days in the face of the death of his family members and maximized his sense of sadness, regret and frustration by using the same expressions and phrases in a repeated manner.
