『호질(虎叱)』 창작의 연원(淵源)과 배경(背景)

Abstract

This article intentionally attempts to look for the working origin and background in the work’s production. In the production of the work, the influence of the story in which appeared the tiger that was prevalent to the commoners of the day shall be sensed. However, these tales cannot function as an absolute influence on the work, but rather remain as insignificant factors. It is decided that the influence of the prose literature that was conveyed in that day worked more than the influence of the tale. The influence of the Chinese literature forms among the prose literature is thought to be absolute. The Chinese literary works where a tiger appears had a long history up until HoJil was to be produced, and such various works were created for many people, so these kinds of works made a decisive influence on the creation of the work. At the same time, in the work, the style of arranging the writing in the book Shigyeong (Book of Odes) has been confirmed. That is, it was able to firm that the style of arranging the writing in the Confucianist scriptures acted as a basis for the creation of the work. Besides, the personification novel and apologue novel are also applied to the creation of the work through a visible and invisible background form. The various literary styles of both the present and former generations which had been so diverse were able to be confirmed, giving shape to a fundamental groundwork in the creation of the work. However, outside of such domestic sources, author Jiwon Park’s act of going on a trip to China acting as an absolute background and source of influence for the work is important as a result that is obtained in the literary work.
