Abstract

This thesis studies on the pattern of the writing in Choi, In-hoon's literary works through analysing the mythological conception and the structure of the narrative in Choi's representative novel, the『Public Square』. 『Public Square』is made of the double structure of the narrative that is developed with the surface and the depth of the text. In this novel, the hero starts on a journey with a view of the foreshadowing, passes through a desperate adventure, and meets his death after discovering epiphany of the archetypal truth. In the end, he leaves the image of the regeneration through the symbolic ritual. The structure of the narrative across Choi, In-hoon's other novels, 『Ga Myeon Go』․『Seo Yu Gee』․『Gu Woon Mong』 which surround 『Public Square』 has symilar type too. Even though their works appear to be in different at the surface styles, the original methods and patterns of the creating text have the homologous relation in categorical and structural view points by broader meaning. At a crisis period that oppresses human life by war and ideology, Choi's literary works reflects the human spirit that always try to discover the epiphany of the transcendental truth. The creating pattern of the text in Choi's lietrary works has new significance in the whole world of the periodic and social context.
