판타지동화에 나타난 시공간의 중층성과 교차 양상

Abstract

This study is aimed at a fantasy that shows a multilayered world by taking narrative theory and semiotic methodology. The results of the study are as follows. Fantasy reveals characteristics through the three aspects of the story, the attitude of the reader and the discourse form. The former two are essential requirements for the establishment of fantasy literature. All ‘fantastic stories’ belong here. However, the textual qualities conveyed through the discourse form are not essential, but they are conditions for establishing genre literature. This is ‘Fantasy Literature’. In “Lion and Witch and Wardrobe,” the pathway that mediates the real world and the fantasy world draws the reader into the fantasy world and gives the role of the main character in the story. This serves to enhance the immersion and reliability of the story. The two worlds are separated into a dual world outside/inside the wardrobe. “Endless story” is a story with thickness. The stories become thicker as a narrator with a different story mediates a multi-layered world. The former story and the latter are either mutual or analogical. “In the Garden of Tom in the Midnight” can be named as a daily time-shifting fantasy type. The creation of a fantasy world through the devices of transcendental time, the way of problem solving does not deviate much from the real momentum or causality. Later, as Hatty’s room overlaps with Tom’s room, the story’s spacetime becomes thicker. In addition, a note hidden in a secret place is used as a device to connect the divided spacetime to increase the credibility of the story. Of the three works above, the first two can be seen as genuine fantasy genres, while the “At night in Tom’s Garden” can be seen as a daily time-shifting fantasy. All of these works are designed in a characteristic way and are connected with the real world through the ‘path device’. Therefore, it is necessary to have a reading method suitable for each work.
