A. 오스트로프스키의 희곡『숲』의 쟁점들

Abstract

A. Ostrovskij is the most popular dramaturge in Russia. He has written 47 plays. After reading the play 『The Bankrupt』 of Ostrovskij Duke Odoevskij pointed: “This man has enormous talent. I think that there are three tragedies in Russia. 『The kid』, 『Woe of wisdom』, 『General Inspector』. I estimate 『The Bankrupt』 as the fourth tragedy.” In 1882 wrote the novelist Goncharov to Ostrovskij: “The Building that was founded by Fonvizin, Griboedov and Gogol’, You alone has completed. Only after You we Russian can say with pride: We has russian national theatre. But it must called the theatre of Ostrovskij.” Without the name of Ostrovskij we can’t imagine the glory of the russian theatre and dramaturgy. In the article I analyse the essence of 『The Wood』. Still the present are seldom the articles dedicated the plays of Ostrovskij. Because the dramatic relics of Ostrovskij is up to recently unfamiliar not only to korean reader, but also to the specialist for the russian literature including russian dramaturgy. Therefore I want to reveal the fundamental features of 『The Wood』. Here I mention the followings on the play of Ostrovskij: time and space, plot and conflict, dramatic personae, the comic and satire, the theatrical lives of russian provincial in the 19th century, the influence of the play of Ostrovskij 『The Wood』 to the last play of A. Chechov 『The cherry orchard』. After the work I want that Ostrovskij’s dramaturgy and theatre would be widely accepted and frequently performed in Korea.
