백석과 미당의 아동 화자 시 비교 연구

Abstract

This dissertation studies Baekseok's and Midang's poems having a child speaker. The two poets show the pure and child-minded world by choosing a child as speaker. Baekseok's poems focus on reproducing the past experience centering around the scene, while Midang's poems focus on expressing emotions felt in a certain situation. The former is characterized by combination of independent scenes, the present tense, closing in a declarative sentence, and objective narration of characters' behaviors. On the other hand, the latter is characterized by development of a single scene, the past tense, closing in a honorific sentence, and implication of subjective emotions. Especially, as Baekseok was in the colonial situation where he could not speak his mother tongue, he showed obsessive attachment to his mother tongue, and restored the lost scene of his hometown in his hometown dialect. Although there are differences in individuality between the two, their works vividly depict cherishable childhood experiences in the innocent eyes of children and an affectionate language.
