초록
Chang-Rae Lee's fourth novel, The Surrendered, weaves the stories of June Han, Sylvie Tanner, and Hector Brennan, whose lives have been brought together through the Korean War. The novel presents the war as a compellingly violent force, the horror of which can leave an indelible scar on the souls touched by it. This paper, centering around the character of June, examines different ways the three main characters deal with the memory of violence incurred in the war and in the distant past. After losing all of her family in a most violent way during the Korean War, 11-year-old June tries to rebuild her life in New Hope Orphanage. There she meets Sylvie, a reverend's wife, and Hector, a young American soldier, each of whom also lives with the memory of unspeakable violence. The three people, while drawn to one another through the scars and pains they immediately recognize in one another, are trapped in an odd love triangle involving an orphaned girl and an extramarital affair. Sylvie ends up dying caught in a mysterious fire at the orphanage and Hector brings June to America after the incident. With her spontaneity and obsessive behavior, June may be one of the most complicated, incomprehensible characters Chang-Rae Lee has ever created. Still, through the character of June, Chang-Rae Lee portrays a life of a woman who overcomes her traumatized past with never-wavering perseverance and all-transcending will to life.
