Abstract

Lee Youn-Taek's Mother is a work to symbolize Korean history of fetter into 'mother' and is created in a viewpoint of nationalism. In the subject matter, a love story of Yang San-bok and Soo Young-Dae shows an changeable and alternative process of Chinese two pole folk-tale, in its Korean introduction into Hamgyeug ritual songs Jeju Segyongbonp'ri, Dungun myth evokes a national pride. And in case of the two pole folk-tale and Dangun myth, they are proved to be formed into a Korean culture by northern culture. It refutes the theory that South Korean peninsula was the colony of Japan by Mimana Nihonfu(任那日本府) of Empress Jinguu(神功皇后). That is to say, Dangun myth as a Jeokgang myth has a quality of northern race, on the other hand, Japanese myth has a quality of southern race as a Nanseng or Jimosin myth. It means that two races has no connection. In the aspect of technique, the timeㆍspace of past and present coexist, and the story is not proceeded by a chronicle order, and the character playes a double role. It seems to have various destruction aspects. These destruction is used under the intention of making of Korean theater style. It is a literary style taken from Saseolsijo and Nuhwanggasa and Madanggeuk movement at the modernization period. Lee Youn-Taek allows us to see the actuals with a critical viewpoint through 'defamiliarization'(alienation effect) of deconstruction style.
