Abstract

This paper focuses on short stories of Yoojeong Kim and aims to explore about how the characters express their passion by selling their wife from the their attachment to marriage. For this, targeting “Spring Spring”, “Rich Mine” where attachment to marriage is clearly expressed, and “Sudden Shower”, and “Fall” where the narration of selling one’s wife is directly expressed, this paper traced how the characters’ passion change and form meaning. First, “Spring Spring”, “Rich Mine” repeatedly show the extreme of misfortune in the sense that the characters, single men, show a strong desire to marry a woman but in the introduction of the narration, it is already implied that the marriage is impossible.“Sudden Shower”, and “Fall” feature married male characters who try to overcome the pain of reality by wife sales. As was seen from above, the achievement of Yoo’s stories is to show the aesthetics of irony in that the characters, in the world of cheating and being cheated with one another, express their will to overcome reality through their passion about love.
