관계를 통해 본 <愚夫歌>의 의미지향 -등장인물 간의 관계와 텍스트 통합을 중심으로-

Abstract

The representative Gasa of late Joseon, <Ubuga> is a work that realizes the theme through the way of narration, 'Gyosul'. There are direct presentations such as explanation, summary, telling and indirect presentations such as description, situation presentation, showing in the way of getting theme. The characteristics of Characters-'Gaddongi'․'Ggomsaengwon'․'Ggoeingsaengwon'- and the value judgment about them is presented indirectly in <Ubuga> by the comment of narrator. In contrast, deviant and immoral behaviors of characters are presented directly through the way of showing. The discussion on <Ubuga> is drawn from the identification of characteristics that are described as the subject of various misconducts. And this can be possible when we consider <Ubuga> text as one concluded text and we interpret <Ubuga> text on the whole centering around relationship among them. The discourse of <Ubuga> text focuses on writer's message toward readers. Therefore, narrator's purpose is worked on the process and frame of narration. 'Gaddongi'․'Ggomsaengwon'․'Ggoeingsaengwon' are characters described in order to perform theme effectively. They play similar roles when we investigate them in the context of narration. Thus they are named 'the group of same characters'. Economic bankrupt and their misconducts are getting worse and worse as the following order of 'Gaddongi'→'Ggomsaengwon'→'Ggoeingsaengwon'. These misconducts are identified in the limping of names and the ending of characters that are changed extremely. Consequently, 'Gaddongi'→'Ggo -msaengwon'→'Ggoeingsaengwon' are separate characters of 'the group of same characters' that the process and result are described narratively. 'Gaddongi'․'Ggomsaengwon'․'Ggoeingsaengwon' show how and how much Yangban class gets to corrupt. Such a way of subject realization is apparently revealed through integrated view with <Yongbuga> rather than ≪Chodangmundapga≫. Consequently, <Ubuga> overcomes structural non-finishing through intertextuality with <Yongbuga> and makes consistent description possible toward subject realization.
