신경숙 소설의 창작방법 연구- 90년대 단편소설을 중심으로

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to study the writing techniques of Sin Gyeong-suk’s novelsin 1990s. I think that a novel gives a birth as the writer’s aspiration but it is completedthrough the connection of the theme, materials, characters and plot. Therefore thewriter studies the suitable writing techniques to complete the novel representinghis(her) world view. Three unique writing techniques are discovered in Sin’s novels. First, Sin focuseson the occasionality to tell our illogical lives. To do that, she looks on the essaywriting technique which is suitable for observing our lives. She uses her experienceswithout a lucid explanation in her novels. So her novels are like the private lifenovels. That’s why her novels are criticized by the critics and the readers. Second, Sin completes writing with progressive sentence that sensible rhetoricallyformed. She specializes in the trivial things by using the colorful words. Also sheexpresses the characters’ inner desires by using the progressive sentences includingcomma and word ellipsis. Third, Sin reveals the characters with the collision of telling technique and showingtechnique in her novels. The characters of her novels are described as the passiveand the superficial. But they are dreaming of ‘there’ actively so as to look for theirselvesexistences. Like this, Sin paradoxically emphasizes on the characters trying to lookfor theirselves existences actively by showing the collision of the narrator’s statementand desire.
