Abstract

The 17 century is the period when the novel takes a central position in the history of Korean narrative literature. Woonyung-jun was written in the 17 century and is note worthy shows the 17 century’s changes were formed concretely in this work. Woonyung-jun’s structure has been studied from the view of the ‘frame-structure’ and the ‘structure of the sleep-play’ in existing studies. However this analysis is not sufficient, because this work has to be regarded as the work that opened up the structure of the novel while accepting the structure of the Jungi(傳奇). This paper analyzed the woonyung-jun’ structure from the view of the genre’s theory, and investigated its meaning in the history of the novel. Woonyung-jun’s structure is formed in the fold structure. If the structure of conflict is inspected from the view of the genre, this work can be divided into two. One is the Jungi(傳奇)’ structure being told about ‘Youyung’. The other is the novel’s structure being told about ‘Woonyung and Kimjinsa’. The Youyung’ structure has three kinds of special features. 1. X who is in discord with the world existence. 2. X unexpectedly meets Y, who doesn’t have asocial relationship with X. 3. X endures change as a result of this meeting. These are the same with the Jungi(傳奇)’ structure. It is also similar in that the focus is fixed on one man who is the hero. The narrator doesn’t pay attention to the space-time that Youyung doesn’t exist. The structure of Woonyung and Kimjinsa’s tale has a different feature than that of the Youyung’ structure. There are two kinds. One is the feature that the relationship of the hero and the world is described as directly opposing each other. The other is the point of view that the object of the focus is variously to show that the relationship is based on mutual predominance. We can draw various relations in the conflict in woonyung-jun for example, the conflict of thecourt ladies to Anpyung, Kimjinsa to Anpyung, Kimjinsa to male servant-Teuk, Woonyung․Kimjinsa to the female shaman. It is important that these conflicts, which directly oppose each other, are exhibited concretely. On the basis of the above mentioned, we estimate that Woonyung-jun has three meanings in the novel’s history. 1. This work secured the structure of the conflict like a novel, while accepting the Jungi’s framework. 2. The conflict of this work is developedby being based on mutual predominance. 3. This work’s circulation- structure is still contributing to future works. Through this analysis of this thesis, we concluded that our narrative literature began to pay attention to the spot that can’t be described by the frame of Jungi(傳奇), and this spot is described from the viewpoint of Woonyung-jun.
