손춘익 동화에 나타난 아버지상 연구 -『어린 떠돌이』, 『작은 어릿광대의 꿈』, 『땅에 그리는 무지개』를 중심으로-

Abstract

I analyzed the father image revealed in Son Chun-ik’s fairy tales “little Wanderings”, “little clown dreams”, “rainbow drawing on the ground”. Of course, I looked at the words and actions of the characters (father, mother, children, brother) in each text. I also studied the author world view. The father in the texts(little Wanderings, “little clown dreams) are an abuser of child abuse. This means that the father is harassing the child. Of course, father illegal acts are habitual, not one-off. Such an unjust acts by father are not only illegal but also subject to punishment. Father acts of abuse are as follows. There are assault, destruction, coercion, intimidation, deprivation of learning rights, etc. The father in the texts(little Wanderings, little clown dreams) are not limited to physical violence. Because the father tried to make money by using child. In the process, the father even deprived the child of his right to study. Of course, the father has no remorse for the crime. The father in the texts(little Wanderings, little clown dreams) dont’t work the role of the head of the family. it’s not only father not in engage economic activities, but he is also violent when he drinks. Such a father words and actions could be seen as damaging to his family and also causing inconvenience to his neighbors. The child in the text(little clown dreams) thinks of suicide because of father child abuse. But the child does not commit suicide. Such a child protruding behavior on the one hand means that the child’s sexual process is abnormal, and on the other hand, it shows how severe the father assault was. Of course, if the family(mother, sister, brother) had not taken care of the child, the child would have done extreme things. The father in the text(rainbow drawn on the ground) dies early from drinking. This on the one hand means that the father has reached the point where he cannot serve as a parent, and on the other hand, the child cannot demand legal rights(parental authority, right to study, etc) from the father. After all, the absence of a father caused considerable damage(poverty, the abandonment of a child’s studies, early employment, etc) to the family. The child in the text(little Wanderings, little clown dreams, rainbow drawn on the ground) are the ones who have personally experienced things(assault, threat, forcing, etc.) that child of their age. This on the one hand means that children are in a poor environment, and on the other hand, children are victims of child abuse. Of course, children don’t blame or resent their plight. This has to do with Son Chun-ik usual pursuit of humanism, realism, moralism, realism.
