하페즈(Hafez) 시에 나타난 메타포의 다중적 활용: ‘사랑’ 메타포를 중심으로

Abstract

Hafez who was actively working in Persia of the 13th century, is known as a poet loved by Goethe. Goethe, who was inspired by Hafez’s poetry, wrote the ‘West-Eastern Divan’ of lyric poetry. After it was introduced to Europe and Asia, Hafez also started to be known as a lyric poet. However, Hafez mostly wrote his poems under the theme of social criticism and ‘Erfan,’ which was a religious philosophy of Persian mysticism. In the time when Hafez was actively working, the authors in Persia could not directly criticize the society or preach the philosophy of religion due to the invasion and oppression by other ethnic groups. As a method to deliver his own thinking and core theme, Hafez used various symbols and metaphors. Thus, the contents of Hafez’s poetry could be changed according to the interpretation of symbols and metaphors. For this reason, there has been continuous controversy over the interpretation of Hafez’s poetry. This thesis aims to present the possibility of various interpretations of Hafez’s poetry by analyzing the symbols and metaphors shown in Hafez’s poetry.
