驪姬는 어떻게 악녀가 되었는가? -『國語』의 인물 형상화 수법을 중심으로

Abstract

In this paper, the perception of Li-Ji in previous literature and the method of shaping Li-Ji characters in 『GuoYu』is analysed. After the first appearance of Li-Ji in 『GuoYu』, Li-Ji was mentioned as an example of various arguments in various literature. It can be broadly classified into three types: “Beauty(紅顔),” “Calamity(禍水),” and “cry of remorse(悔泣).” In the past literature, it was confirmed that the examples used as the epitome of “Calamity” were the most common. 『GuoYu』 is a book produced to promote the monarchs and nobles of the time, so it has a narrative intention to further highlight the person who is on the alert. In other words, Li-Ji is using various sentence techniques to make the character more vicious. First, it is “the method of comparing good and evil” that describes words and actions in contrast to the prince at the opposite point. Second, it is “the methods of virtual imagination” that describes the scene of seducing a Xian-Gong in the bedroom as an imagination. Third, it is “the Method of destiny prediction” that shows a sinister nature with divination and suggests that it will eventually ruin the country. This method of shaping the 『GuoYu』 made the character Li-Ji the epitome of “disaster,” and it can be confirmed that most of the literature has not deviated from it.
