남사당 덧뵈기 재담의 변화 양상

Abstract

In this thesis, the aspects of changes in witty remarks from Deotboegi were comparatively analyzed by studying the script versions of Shim Wu-seong, Park Yong-tae and Nam Gi-mun, and Kim Se-ha. Then, the need to preserve and keep the artistic value of Deotboegi’s witty remarks was examined. Changes in satirical, witty remarks toward characters, in witty remarks for humorous dramatic situations, in the use of typical witty remarks of Talnori, and finally in musicians’ improvised remarks were taken into consideration. The aspects of changes in witty remarks were as follows. First, due to the improvised changes of the witty remarks, lines of the characters and the concluding remark were both natural and unnatural. Second, the rhetorical description of witty remarks was being simplified. Third, the classical sense of witty remarks was reducing because colloquial styles were replaced by literary ones and archaic expressions were being modernized. Fourth, the original meaning of witty remarks was being distorted by ostentatious performances made for popularity. If Namsadang Deotboegi, an intangible asset, is far too commercialized for popularity, the essence of Deotboegi, which is commoner-orientedness, can be distorted. Improvised witty remarks are helpful in gaining interest from audience, but witty remarks from beforehand prepared scripts should be practiced and then performed in order to clearly deliver the meanings of witty remarks to audience.
