영화 <장화, 홍련>에서 여성에 대한 기억과 실제-고소설 <장화홍련전> 이본 연구 관점에서-

Abstract

The Memory and the Real of woman in the Film "Janghwah, Hongryun" The film "Janghwah, Hongryun" can be considered as a text of old Korean novel <Janghwah Hongryun Jeon>. Because the flim deal with the collective memory of woman. I analyzed the film to know what the collective memory which in Soomi's memory acting is, and whether that is right. In "Janghwah, Hongryun", father Moohyun is a dirty one. When wife had been sick, he meet another woman. So his wife suicided, and his little daughter was dead by chance. The father understand such situation is immoral. Yet, he is ignorant about his daughter Soomi's fear and fatasy which is derived from his immoral act, rather he regard that as a symptom of disease. And he demand her to accept a immoral thing as the inevitable real. In "Janghwah, Hongryun", the supernatural beings appear to female family and in the fantasy of Soomi. Therefore we can not elucidate that the supernatural beings are derived from the paternalism that the family were not able to protect the death of mother and Sooyun. On the contrary, the fact that only female family call the 'the depressed beings' to the present suggest that women are afraid of their sexual identity. 'Ghost of menstruating' is a reflection of such anxiety. In "Janghwah, Hongryun", nobody can understand Soomi's fantasy and fear, Soomi has to come and go to a hospital and home. So, Soomi has been cofined to a infinite repetition of cure and relapse. This 'mise en abyme' is derived from a male-dominated society in which Soomi's fear is treated as a sickness. Father's desire is redeemed by calling Soomi's memory a desease.
