『日月』의 原型的 構造 분석

Abstract

This study aims to clarify characteristics of archetype-based structure that Hwang Sun-won's full-length 「Ilwol(日月:the sun and the moon)」 contains. 「Ilwol」 is a novel that reflects a symbolic meaning of myth in context of the work. In this work is inserted ‘Myth of Ugongtaeja(牛公太子)’ and ‘epic poem in the form of a Buddhist invocation’ among materials on the world of butcher. As the content of having combined these two is 'archetype' of having influence upon the case development and the thematic formation in the whole work, it is functioning as archetype-based motive in modern novel, which has internal common point with myth, not simple material or realistic background. The structure in the whole work is having a flow of recovering homogeneity while being combined with the passage rite dubbed ‘leaving―trial―return,’ which is the structure of myth. Main characters in a case form parallel relationship with archetype motive while showing behavior and consciousness in each of corresponding to biography of ‘Ugongtaeja(牛公太子).’ The common point can be found that the hero in myth and the hero in novel proceed with recovering homogeneity through self-realization while suffering individual adversity by receiving the application of the norm, which is collective property.
