조선후기 人物記事의 서사화 양상 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the narrative aspects of character articles that show narrative aspects. For this purpose, After dividing works showing strong narrative aspects into ‘unreal’ and ‘unusual’, each narrative strategy was examined. All works that focused on revealing unrealistic characters and events were building unrealistic elements at the level of reality to give them substance. Works dealing with unusual characters and events increase readers’ intimacy with unusual elements by increasing immersion through closed space, contrasting good and evil, psychological restraint, and repetition of the same structure. Character articles showing this narrative aspect are related to the atmosphere of contemporary literature after the 18th century, when interest in characters increased. High interest in the keyword ‘Character’ has triggered a desire to embody a more diverse group of people. In order to effectively convey many characters and their stories, it is convenient to use various narrative methods other than the literal recording method of articles. In the end, the narrative strategy of character articles reduces the unfamiliarity of unfamiliar things and increases trustworthiness. By doing so, it serves to transfer the judgment about the factuality guaranteed in the article to the readers. This is one of the driving forces behind the character article, which broadened the scope of the subjects and methods of recording while maintaining the identity of the article.
