This thesis is focused to examine the way how Yeom Sang Seop's narrative desire to revive national identity in "The fig tree" is revealed in the dialectic relation between a cognitive structure and a emotive structure of text. In this thesis, the following three issues are discussed. First, in the cognitive structure' level of "The fig tree" Yeom, Sang-Seop is making story on the decline of Lee Woon Young who is representation of middle-class, through the medium of perspective of socialist ideology represented by Kim Bong Ik who is a young Marxist, and sought to reveal critically the unstable life of the colonial modern which is dominated by a fetishism of capitalist desire in the perspective of socialist ideology represented by Kim Bong Ik Second, in the emotive structure' level "The fig tree" Yeom, Sang-Seop revels ideological orientation implied narrative desire, which is the opposing the perspective of socialist ideology of the cognitive structure' level by setting 'new road' presented by new character, Wan-Sik. Its ideological orientation is based on a desire to recover national identity, which have been driven to his artistic practice of the colonial period. Third, a desire to recover national identity which Yeom, Sang-Seop is sought to reveal in "The fig tree", has the paradoxical nature of the ideological and political. Becouse it dose not have a dialogic relationship in the ideological dimension, unlike "Three Generation", it has a symbolic meanings reveal a symptom which give up the possibility of cooperation with the forces the socialist hat, and involve a possibility of imperial Japanese colonial rule of logic.
