Abstract

This paper is searching the creating method of story-telling using Shin Kyung-lim’s poetry. This would be one of meaningful exercises that are presented the importance of storytelling in various ways in culture. The storytelling is a basic data to develop cultural contents. The more the demand of new contents, the more meaningful the discussion of the creating method of storytelling. This paper aimed to prove the value of story through deriving the facts that Shin’s poems contain. Shin Kyung-lim poetry is worthy because she usually composed her poems as ‘Narrative Poetry’. Especially the through-composed ≪South Han river≫ has a significant value since the poem reveals its epical facts. This could be sum up as below. ≪South Han river≫ is composed of 「Bird ridge」(1978), 「South Han river」(1981), 「Syeomuji beol」(1985). These three works have own completion themselves and have epical structure which are consistent and continuous at the same time. This epical structure could deduce the creating method of storytelling as the creation of heroic mold, the development of conflicts and struggles, and the emotional creation of particularity and universality. At first, we would search the creation of heroic mold. The personality of hero in all over ≪South Han river≫ is foresight → struggle → reconciliation. This is the distinctive point with other heroic stories and this makes ≪South Han river≫ a poem that uses a creative storytelling method. The second one is the development of conflicts and struggles. The conflicts and struggles in ≪South Han river≫ do not end with any particular parts’victory since in 「Syeomuji beol」, the end of the poems, there is the place of reconciliation. Therefore the conflicts and struggles are figured in 「Bird ridge」and 「South Han river」, and she tried to derive the reconciliation and solidarity of community from internal conflicts and struggles in「 Syeomuji beol」. The third one is the emotional creation of particularity and universality. ≪South Han river≫ presents the unique emotion based on our nation’s historical circumstance, on the other hand, it holds universality as awakening of people and social achievement. The struggle consciousness that was presented by Dol-bae, the main character of「 Bird ridge」get down to Yeon-i and the people in「 South Han river」. Yeon-i who gets Dol-bae’s social consciousness opens a tavern at Mok-gae marcketplace near South Han river. The people near 「South Han river」gather at the tavern and form national solidarity naturally. This shows that the movement for national independence is rooted at class consciousness. This is the creating method of storytelling of Shin Kyung-lim’s poetry focused on through-composed ≪South Han river≫. These three facts, the heroic character, a story of conflicts and struggle, and a harmony of particularity and universality, enhance the value of story. This proves that Shin’s poetry can recreate as the entertainment storytelling, in other words, a plat, a movie, and a musical.
