심리적 측면에서 살펴본 이반(Иван) 4세의 분노와 폭력성

Abstract

This study examines Ivan IV's anger and violence from a psychological point of view. In the premodern political environment of Russia in the 16th century, the brutal violence of Ivan IV was also the product of the confrontation between the royal power and the retainer. However the lists of ‘Sinodik Opal'nyh’ show that his violent disposition is not just a matter of political conflict. Specifically We reviewed his correspondences to look at his personality such as the feeling of anger. The specific style of the text of Ivan IV reflected not only his emotions but also his real lifestyle. Ivan IV's letters reveal his ideology for power, sense of betrayal, anger, sadness and loneliness. Ivan IV's capricious life attitude was cunning and intentional. His violence was not a momentary feeling of agitation, but a defense mechanism against those who invading the world of imagination he built. It would have been difficult for ordinary people of that era to grasp the spiritual world of Ivan IV, who apparently carried out his everyday life. However, when the symptoms of Ivan IV are diagnosed from a modern psychoanalytic point of view, it seems clear that the phenomena surrounding him are paranoid. It is because Ivan IV lived in the real world and the closed world of his own imagination at the same time. Arbitrary and persistent enumeration of controversial subjects in church history, adult puppet-like clown play, and the asceticism of suffering and anti-human obscene acts are the result of Ivan IV's living in two worlds.
