오영진 희곡「허생전」의 인물 간 갈등의 분석

Abstract

The result of consideration for the paradox of reality politics appeared on〈A biography of Esq Huh〉by an analysis of conflicts among characters is as follows. I used a method of the actantiel model based on the semiotic theory for a clear investigation. The author insists that the wisest method to solve the social․political structural contradiction be not the conflict between the haves(the power class and the wealth) and the have-nots (the poor), but instead of it, it had better relax the tension between two groups by 'reconciliation' and 'embrace' and it is necessary to pose a trying attitude and have a new recognition on the reality. This means that the only method to untie the knot of the social and political's vicious circle must start from the notice of reality and the reform by 'Minjung(the populace).' The author thought that the reform is that Minjung gather their voice of resistance and power, and criticize the rotten reality of the power class or the wealth and must warn them not to be repeated such the contradiction any more and persuade and lead them to introspect their behaviors. Furthermore, the author represents that the truthful social reform can be achieved when 'reconciliation' and 'embrace' influenced the powerful and the wealth, not the 'punishment' and 'termination', and they take directly part in the action. Namely, he makes those people of which social power is low, but reality recognition is high, to play a role in punishing and retrieving the superior class in social power. It means that if those who has the social power, but little reality recognition, experience 'the course of awareness' and they co-participate in the reformation of society, the bigger reformation can be achieved. Among the existed dramas in 1970's, which represented that the powerful class led the social reform, we can find that the author's reality recognition had been changed than before based on his point of view that the reform must be achieved by Minjung. On the other hand, if we examine the reason of his point of view's change related to his elite consciousness, we can find some point of agreement that Minjung who performed the social reformation among are also the educated ones. We, therefore, found that his elite awareness which consistently underlay in all of his works still influenced on this work. Besides, his reality participating politics has its meaning in his ideality about the social reformation. Moreover, he suggested that to tune up the chaos situation which occurred by the absence of the politics, most of all, Minjung must have self-awareness and recognition, and the methodology is that the reform must start from the intelligent people among the public, such as Esq. Huh. So to speak, he stirred up Minjung's awareness by enlightening in order that those who had lost their chance for revival in alienated status and society, co-try and co-exist in the Society. In the end, the author concluded that the truthful social reform is to attempt the new recognition of the society with the 'reconciliation' and 'embrace', and to try to lead the public to participate in establishing a new ideal nation. We conclude that the work describes well the point of view that only the reform that start from both the party(the populace `and people who have the new awareness of the society between the rotten power status and the wealth) can surely prepare the watershed, which leads the truthful social and political reform and also well holds the reason of his participation in the reality politics.
