Abstract

The aims of this article is to explain the meaning of conducting of the pro-Japanese in the Lee ki-Young's novels at the end of the colonial age. The subject matter of Lee ki-young's novels can't deviate from the dominant discourse. Accordingly. His novels expressed the interest of Japanese ruler. None the less, Lee ki-young is keeping his point of view, reality or sociality in novel, that was a matter of grave concern in his Marxist age. Firstly, Lee ki-young's novels in the end of the colonial age suggest that the capitalistic social structure brought about the korean tenant's tragedy. He thought that an exchange value is at the supreme value in this social structure. This implied that his novels criticize the capitalistic social, making all into commodity. Secondly, He made a description of City life as wasteful, but then, made a description of Rural life as productive. This is conducting of the pro-Japanese in that it is increase of production for war. But this means that his novels criticise the capitalist markets.
