초록
This study delves into transcending the dirty death from clinical medicine in the play Wit written by Margaret Edson. Philippe Aries explains death of the post-modern era as ‘dirty death’. All kinds of tube devices and equipments installed at the ICU (intensive care unit) in hospitals are ‘something essential for the contemporary medical technology’ to save patients in a comatose state, but at the same time, they are new kinds of ‘fear for death’. Under the pretext of curing diseases, medical doctors and instruments let the modern people face a tragic death in absolute helplessness and solitude. Such dirty death of clinical medicine in the post-modern era is well expressed in the play Wit. An English literature professor who specializes in the writings of John Donne, Vivian was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer and started receiving chemical treatments accompanied with intense pain. she's faced with suffering through the human indignities of the total institutional hospital. Nevertheless she's struggle to resist medical politics on ill body, and tries to find a way to control her body, and pursues her autonomy. As a result, she transcends the dirty death from clinical medicine.
Abstract
This study delves into transcending the dirty death from clinical medicine in the play Wit written by Margaret Edson. Philippe Aries explains death of the post-modern era as ‘dirty death’. All kinds of tube devices and equipments installed at the ICU (intensive care unit) in hospitals are ‘something essential for the contemporary medical technology’ to save patients in a comatose state, but at the same time, they are new kinds of ‘fear for death’. Under the pretext of curing diseases, medical doctors and instruments let the modern people face a tragic death in absolute helplessness and solitude. Such dirty death of clinical medicine in the post-modern era is well expressed in the play Wit. An English literature professor who specializes in the writings of John Donne, Vivian was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer and started receiving chemical treatments accompanied with intense pain. she's faced with suffering through the human indignities of the total institutional hospital. Nevertheless she's struggle to resist medical politics on ill body, and tries to find a way to control her body, and pursues her autonomy. As a result, she transcends the dirty death from clinical medicine.
