서정주 『질마재 신화』에 미친 『삼국유사』의 영향에 대하여

Abstract

This article is an attempt to clarify that the Seo jeong-ju’s Myth of Jilmajae was created on the basis of the personality of the Divinity of The Heritage of the Three States(三國遺事). Divinity noted that besides the meaning of 'strange and bizarre story', there is also the meaning of 'divine manifestation that is latent in the inside of ordinary people', and that was conducted by comparing the two cases appear in the text. In addition, Divinity is not only similar to the Buddhist theory of Non-duality, which breaks down the boundaries between two extremes, such as sacred and secular, hell and nirvana, but also to the similarity with the 'real bottom participation', which was the main experience of the youth of Midang, and the 'Soften Glare And Be One With Dust' learned from Lao-tzu. In this process, the literary transformation of 'Divinity' is summed up as 'Non-duality(不二)' and 'Paradox'. Most of the characters in Myth of Jilmajae are poor, but they are not created in ideological aspects such as foregrounding poverty or accusations of regime contradiction. The characters of Myth of JilMajae are created in the “Silla-Jilmajae” race, the same as the characters in The Heritage of the Three States(三國遺事). From a religious point of view, this text is a case in which the Buddhist philosophy of 'Relief of Beings' is said to be able to shine even the lives of low-class people. From a cultural point of view, this text is a 'representation of the cultural prototype', which inherits the non-duality story of The Heritage of the Three States(三國遺事). From a literary point of view, this text is a storytelling that enriches the meaning of life through 'the aesthetics of paradox'.
