서술자를 통한 소설교육방법 연구 - 이상의 「날개」를 중심으로-

Abstract

A novel is prose of a fictional story based on imagination. Every novel has a narrator who delivers a story. Therefore, learners should understand who describes the world inside a novel, in other word, which character a narrator is focusing on when delivering a story. Reading a novel through a narrator is an activity that learners form meaning by directly participating in communication of texts. Learners can have an active attitude when forming meanings by comparing the contents of a novel relevant to its point of view with his or her own thoughts. However, current education on the point of view of novels is being conducted in a formal and static way, depending on the Brooks and Warren's Four-Term Typology. Consequently, many learners mistake the 'author' of a novel for the 'narrator', even though an author exists outside of the texts whereas a narrator exists inside the texts. This mistake can be considered to result from flawed education on the point of view of novels. In this article, an alternative method of education on the point of view focusing on the narrator is reviewed through 'Wings' of Yi Sang. If instructors teach the point of view and narration separately based on the concept of focalization in novel education, learners will be able to easily understand semantic structure of a novel and how the view of the world of an author is realized. In addition, with being trained how to compare two novels with different narrative attitudes in focalization education, learners can acquire influences of an attitude of a narrator on a novel and learn the aspects of focalization.
