이야기세계의 존재로 보는 『금오신화』의 독자성 – 『전등신화』와의 대비를 통하여

Abstract

I explored the Uniqueniss of Guemosinhwa(金鰲新話) in terms of the way story world is. For this, I deduced the way of existence of the story world from the way of being of the female protagonist. In Jeondeungsinhwa(剪燈新話), the female protagonist exist with openness. This openness manifests itself in terms of physical, norm and communication. Thus, the female protagonist, whether a ghost or a human, exists like a human. And she becomes the object of recognition, follows the norms of human society, and her story is communicated within the story world. In contrast, female protagonists of Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) exist with limitations in terms of physical normative or communication. Her existence is revealed only in the relationship with the male protagonist, and they perform actions that are difficult to understand, and their stories and traces remain only with the male protagonist. The way of existence of the female protagonist implies the way of existence of the story world in that the way of existence is not a matter that can be selected. The story world of Jeondeungsinhwa(剪燈新話) exists with openness. The story world is treated as if it were part of the real world, despite the presence of very strange characters and events. Compared to this, the story world of Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) exists with limitations to the real world. The story world of Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) is presented as if it were part of the real world, but it forms ontological tension by not following the way of existence of the real world. In Jeondeungsinhwa(剪燈新話) and Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) , the story world exist in a relationship with the real world, each with its own characteristics of openness and limitation. This is related to the circumstances in which the two collections were written. Examining the preface of Jeondeungsinhwa(剪燈新話), it takes an reading method that blurs the boundary between the story world and the real world. This seems to be the result of the involvement of the personal situation of the writer Gu-woo(瞿佑), who was community-oriented at the time of writing, and the characteristics of the Jeongi(傳奇) novel in which the writing and reading is collective. In Jeondeungsinhwa(剪燈新話), the story world has a weak identity with the real world. Examining Kim An-ro’s records and various materials, Kim Si-sup wrote Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話), isolated from literary communication. In other words, he was not oriented towards public writing and was unable to know what aesthetic norms his writing would be accommodated. This has had an effect on reinforcing the immersion into the story world. This can be inferred from the fact that the story world of Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) does not exist due to the expansion of the real world. As such, the story world of Geumosinhwa(金鰲新話) has a strong uniqueness to the real world.
