趙秀三 傳의 儒家理念的 主題에 대한 재해석

Abstract

Choiyeolbujeon, Gimjanggunjeon and Dongniseonsaengjeon have common point. Firstly, main characters show a 'lack' before they accomplish their tasks related faith(fidelity or filial duty). This 'lack' does not exist for the formula that 'they accomplished it despite the 'lack'. To make the formula correct, the lack should have been means for faith to achieve Confucianism, and the theme of Jeon should definitely have sticked to the Confucianism. However, three Jeon of Josusam do not hold faith, fidelity and filial duty as a result of 'lack', but purity and immersion of characters. The results of the purity and immersion are only connected to public ideology, i.e., faith, fidelity and filial duty. Secondly, these three Jeon do not concentrate on the Confucianism of 'faith, fidelity and filial duty'. Regardless of purity, immersion and confucian ideology by education, Josusam considers unfair judgement about the results of 'faith, fidelity and filial duty'. Finally, Josusam keeps his distance from conservative Jeon which generally describes confucian characters, but he criticizes the unfair world preferring ideological judgement about people's life. Therefore, the understanding his five Jeon that they have a contradiction between confucian ideology and free spirit is a result of superficial reading. This superficial understanding might derive from the author Josusam's characteristics intending the suggestive subject by organization and literary style instead of straight exposure.
