드라마 「뷰티 인사이드」에 나타난 ‘변신 모티프’의 현대적 의의

Abstract

This study focuses on the archetype of myths in literature, and analysis in particular the Metamorphosis-motifs in mythical motifs, and analysis in particular the Metamorphosis-motifs in mythical motifs, them in the drama “Beauty Inside”. Myth is a universal and essential story that provides a common narrative structure of literature. In other words, myths represent what is inherently natural to humans through any framework of principles, which becomes a narrative system with a similar structure. Comparing and analyzing myths and contemporary works helps to explore the transformational patterns of creative techniques and the true values and the awareness of the subject. To do this, I made the beauty text that was broadcast on JTBC in 2018 as the target text. The attention to this work is that the narrative structure shown here is suitable for the concept of the original myth of George Campbell, and yet the modern transformation is well represented. The Metamorphosis-motif, which can be seen through the drama ‘Beauty Inside’, ‘Han Segye’, is distinguished from most other works in terms of the type and representation of transformation. However, it can be said that the theme consciousness to be expressed through the transformation motive is organically connected with the classical theme of self - reflection and self - identity exploration, which is a traditional theme of literature. This organicity is a proper storytelling method when recreating classical motifs with modern contents. The fusion of narrative and narrative creates a contemporary and novel story, while at the same time it organizes stories in a traditional narrative style. In other words, the plot, which is the big skeleton of the work, follows the traditional narrative, but the process of story telling is modern and individual, meaning its significance can be found. The drama “Beauty Inside” shows a new storytelling case of the Metamorphosis-motif frequently appearing in classical narrative, and it can be said that it is the modern contents which can confirm the formation of the continuing literature.
