2000년도 북한 시에 나타난 여성상

Abstract

This paper shows a study on the women’s images of the North Korean poetry in 2000. The year 2000 represents the SeonGun period, governed by KimJeongIl. Women in the North Korean literature have not only an exemplary portrait, but also North Korean political character. Furthermore,the persons in the North Korean poetry convey a way of the purpose of the North Korean literature. In general woman has been used an universalistic metaphor for the motherland, anima and the archetype of life even in the North Korean post-war poetry, but the woman’s images of North Korean poetry in 2000are different from these themes. North Korean poetry in 2000 has two images of women such as ‘mothers’ and ‘girls’. The ‘mothers’ are composed of the speaker’s mother of the poem and KimJeongSook-dear mother. The speaker’s mother in her/his poem represents an universal mother and the North Korean Socialism. KimJeongSook-dear mother represents only the North Korean Socialism. The ‘girls’ are composed of three exemplary images, each represents North Korean Socialism as KimJeongIl’s daughter and the sun’s daughter, a labored girl for the nation, and a sacrificed girl for a blind soldier. All these women’s images show the North Korean doctrine for the SeonGun period, which has been kept on from the early of North Korean literature to this time SeonGun period. But the doctrine in the SeonGun period is more powerful than that of the post-war poetry.
