문체적 측면에서 본 『금오신화』의 지향과 의미

Abstract

The study on 『Kumoshinwha』 almost concentrated on sides of realism, especially the writer's attitude toward the world. But this thesis aimed to research the beauty on the aspect of literary style. For this purpose, I studied on poems about four seasons in 「Leesaeng-kyujangjeon」, the funeral oration in 「Manboksa-jeopoki」, the declaration in 「Namyeombujuji」 and Goakgaesa's self-introduction in 「Yonggung- buyeonrok」 Poems about four seasons in 「Leesaeng-kyujangjeon」 sung about the feeling of woman in four seasons. These poems developed from the yearning of spring[=春思] to grievances of winter[=冬恨/怨], and also there are affections of summer[=夏情] and misgivings of autumn.[=秋愁] These emotions are feelings of woman every seasons. Poems could be read by itself. This fact means that the poems in 「Leesaeng- kyujangjeon」 are separated from the narrate. The funeral oration in 「Manboksa-jeopoki」 is typical style of a funeral oration. It is not only the part of story but also a funeral oration itself. And the declaration in 「Namyeombujuji」 carried the characteristics of declaration even though it is inserted in narrations. So the reader could enjoy the declaration except the story of 「Namyeombujuji」. Goakgaesa's self- introduction of in 「Yonggung-buyeonrok」 has typical styles of autobiography. And also Goakgaesa described itself as human being. Wits and humors in self-introductions are very particular. So readers could be surprised at the writer's ability of writing every literary styles, and enjoy beauties of each genres. Briefly, 『Kumoshinwha』 is not just a narrate but diverse styles. Readers lived in five hundreds years ago appreciated poems, verses and every genres in 『Kumoshinwha』. Eo, sukguan and Lee, suguang's record concerning 『Kumoshinwha』 notified the fact the 『Kumoshinwha』 is not just a novel but a sort of poetry and prose collections. This means that we have to study on the side of literary criticism of 『Kumoshinwha』. From now, most researchers studied 『Kumoshinwha』 on aspects of realism. But now we have to change the aspect of researching 『Kumoshinwha』.
