박목월의 후기시에 나타난 죽음의식의 은유체계

Abstract

This study is to explore in what metaphoric meaning system the perception of death in Park Mok-wol's late period poetry 『Fallen Leaves in Gyeongsang Province』, 『Pebbles』, and 『Randomness』 generates poetic meanings by employing Hrushovski's theory of frame of reference and unveil his perceptual expansion and renewal discovered through this process. The second chapter discusses that perception of death shown in his late period poems is characterized by metaphors on atmospheric dissolution. His poems such as <Time>, <The Ode of Mourning>, <Cheongpa-dong> embody the perception of death through the dissolution of entity by means of the evaporation of moisture, while his other poems like <Untitled>, <A Song of Paring>, and <A Train of His Robe> materialize the awareness of death via materials being scattered by the wind. The third chapter discusses that the perception of death appeared in his late period poems is described by metaphors on material dissolution. For example, his poems <To Reach Suanbo>, <A Grey Bird>, and <My Middle Of The Night> somewhat passively express the perception of death, while other poems <A Face>, <Eyebrows. B>, and <A Frame> describe a sense of emptiness by actively revealing the perception of death. In short, Park's late period poetry shows his perception of death through metaphors related to aerial and material dissolutions. His poetry forms metaphor via various levels of frames of reference, generating multiple perceptions of death and thereby maintaining tension. The semantic transformation at various levels showcases the creativity of his perception.
