은총(“Grace”)의 서사전략

Abstract

 Abstract Narrative Strategies of Dubliners “Grace” Kim, Sang-gu (Chungwoon University) This study investigates how Dubliners’s “Grace” was written with James Joyce’s narrative strategies. But, Joyce intend to get out of traditional strategies, developed a number of techniques—most notably the concept of the epiphany, rhetorics of silence, ellipsis, interior monologue, Uncle Charles Principle and the approach to the shorty story collection as a montage—that have exerted substantial influence over later writers of short fiction. We can not distinguish whether Tom Kernan fell down the stairs drunk or was worked over by his loan sharks. But we know that Tom Kernan fell down the stairs due to drunkeness, as everyone supposes. This is not clear. I infer that he was deliberately pushed down by the “muscle” or enforcer of his moneylender, Mr. Harford. The Young man in the cycling-suit rescue Kernan from the fall but narrator does not refer to the man. The narrator states ‘a person’, he does not refer to the man again. So the reader is curious. Kernan’s hat shows his identities, he had fallen and his hat had rolled a few yards away. He and his hat rehabilitated at a retreat. Joyce use a pun, Father’s name is Purdon. His name’s pronunciation meaning is an unlicensed prostitute quarters.
