梅月堂의 方外人的 성격 재론

Abstract

Mae-wol-dang kim-Siseup is a remarkable person who have no equal in our korean literature. Mae-wol-dang is a symbol of an author who is out of center in the period of king Sejo, Chosun Dynasty. What is more he is a writer of unique novel, Keumosinhwa. But becuse of customary estimation, the real fact of Mae-wol-dang is fainted. Mae-wol-dang says discord of that period through the poetry and prose and understands critically real of those days. But most of his poetry and prose are in discord with broken social conditions. At this point, his discord and complication with social conditions is not differ from common classical scholar. Moreover, we can see the fact that he write many poetry which deals with the constance and the principle of Confucian ideas. In the existing discussion about Mae-wol-dang, there is two standpoint about his poetry. The first, excessive concentration to the individual everyday life of him. The second, avoidance of the formal discussion about the lawfulness of the royal line after Mae-wol-dang die. And, it is incorrect understand that Mae-wol-dang is the outsider. Finally, we have to revaluate the appropriateness of concept of the outsider. Because, there is a tendency to regard a part as a whole.
