1920년대 초기시의 수사와 감정

Abstract

In the early 1920s poetry cannot be explained only by enlightenment or romanticism. This is understood as the limits and characteritics of the early 1920s' literature. Thus, such limits and characteristics were recognized as a problem, and rhetorics of the poetry and hidden emotion behind them were dealt with in this thesis. First, such rhetorics played an important role as an aethetic sign in creating literary works and communicating through literary works. Second, even though destruction to deny reality was not based on historical recognition it valued awakening of life. Third, despite failure to realize the true emotion sensuous expression led to discovery of new language. In addiiton, it is necessary to understand that all of those rhetorics result from the same power of desire. Such emotions are embodied to other emotional expressions like tears, impressiveness, ruin, yearning, oblivion and longing. Thus, when it comes to the literature of the early 20s, rhetorics of emotion cannot be limited as a primary meaning. Writers at that time couldn't accept human emotions as an individual thing but as an unsubstantial, collective one. In fact, their emotions were fostered from outside. It was difficult to find one's inner self or self-confirmation until the early 1920s.
