이강백 희곡 <들판에서>재고 －<파수꾼> 및 <호모 세파라투스>와의 비교를 통해－

Abstract

Lee Kang Baek’s Play <In the field> is, when discussing his works’world, taken less importantly. Because it was written particularly in order to be published in the national textbook for junior high school. But there is a necessity which even about this play tries to reappraise the phase from the authoristic point of view. For this work, after selecting two plays which keep the most prominent point of sameness among Lee’s different plays, comparison tried. The two works are <Watchman> and <Homo Separatus>. <Watchman> puts in the allegory of political actuality in the empty field with stage set being similar as <In the Field>. <Homo Separatus>also puts in the division of korean peninsula figuratively with similar structure as character discord in <In the Field>. But the allegory of <Watchman> is analysed multilayerly from problems about 1970’s political actuality of Korea to problems about discourse of control on universal dimension. However, the political allegory of <In the field> is simply set. Also <Homo Separatus> saves a detailed concreteness in conflicts of the family and the circumferential person with conceptional development method. But the discord of <In the Field> is attaching importance in building the bone structure of the sibling and the outsider. This feature is to save the aim from one educational theater for the younger generation. Especially, while two plays have the pessimistic ends,<In the Field> has put out an optimistic prospect. Finally <In the Field> is a work where the author’s playwriting style and the characteristic individuality for educational theatre are piled on another. Only researches of educational direction have been carried out until now. However, there is a necessity inside drama’s theory about Lee kang baek which will recognize the questionable matter of this play.
