이용악 시에 나타난 친일 성격

Abstract

Pro-Japanism under the reign of Japan is a frequent issue in the historyof literature. And there are considerable amount of controversy likewhether Lee Yong-ak's include the range of pro-japanese or not. The characteristic of Pro-Japanese poem by Lee Yong-ak describedin this research can be summarized as the upcoming line below. First of all, there are 4 pieces of poem, <Passage>, <At the snowingstreet>, <Death>, <Fire>, Which is suspected to be Pro-Japanese. Futhermore these self-inspected poem can be ordered in row of <Fire>,<Passage>, <Death> according to the level of Pro-Japanism . Secondly, There was not any rementioning of the poem <At the snowingstreet>,(which went through self-inspection) at any other poem book thathas been published afterwards, and was proven to be Pro-Japanese. So,He might have been a self-examining poet if the other 3 poems suspectedto be Pro-Japanese went through harsh self-inspection. Thirdly, the creation background of Pro-Japanese poem that is focusedon March and April of 1942 is considered as integration of Pro-Japaneseidea started from <Nation Literature> he used to be in. The age before March was age of silent Pro-Japanese which meansthat Pro-japanese ideas were given at this time even though it is notshown through his work. Fourthly, it is over-reaction to consider the poems like <Oranchakkot:오랑캐꽃> to be Pro-Japanese, and it is considered as reading that isalready affected by influence of his reputation as Pro-Japanese poet. Fifthly, Lee yong-ak is a negative Pro-Japanese poet who had innerPro-Japanism like many other poets of that age and was revealed of suchcharacters through 2pieces of positive Pro-Japanese poems and 2piecesof negative Pro-Japanese poems he wrote. So it is concluded that magnifying a part in the valuation aboutPro-Japanese as whole, or eliminating even a single part of valuationshould be highly cautioned.
