윤동주의 현실인식과 시적 응전 연구

Abstract

Our literary history positioned Yoon Dong-ju as "the poet who became a torch of spirit who kept Korean poetry in the age of blackness under Japanese colonial rule." The readers also remember him as 'the poet who reflected on himself and dreamed of practicing' or 'the poet of self-reflection'. This means that the main characteristic of Yoon Dong-ju 's poetic background is in 'self - reflection' and furthermore a world oriented through this. In order to observe and understand these poems of Yoon Dong-ju, it is important to consider how the poet perceived and reacted poetically to the times or the historical situation or reality, at that time. The more deeply the shade of the age is, the more the poet 's experience and perception are affected by the historical change, and the meaning network generated by the poet' s response to it makes it possible to objectively and valuably identify the poetic world of a poet. Therefore, this article considers the 19 pieces contained in the autograph collection "Heaven, Wind, Stars, and Poetry" by Yoon Dong-joo himself as his selection and includes works that are extended aesthetically or semantically before and after these works to study the poet's self-reflection trajectory and the direction it pursues. As a result, Yoon Dong-ju's perception of the painful and horrible reality and the poetic reaction generated here are basically based on the metaphysical attitude represented by the Christian ethical consciousness and the absolute conscience but it was sure to confirm that his stepping up to the manifestation of aggressive will is to overcome the faced reality while adding the depth and to wait for 'morning comes like times'.
