김춘수의 시와 “예수 체험”의 형상화

Abstract

In this paper, I tried the analysis of the meaning of the “Jesus Experiences” shown by Kim Chun-soo's poems. It was based on Kim Chun-soo's poems and prose, examining the inner consciousness of the works on Jesus. Jesus is a man who urged Kim Chun-soo to desperately seek the tragic destiny of human beings. Kim Chun-soo notes that human beings are always faced with the possibility of having physical limits and failing to become ethical subject at the same time. It is presented by the experiences of frustration and disgrace in 「부다페스트에서의 소녀의 죽음」(The Death of the Girl in Budapest), and the accidental and contingent of sin in the childhood “experience of the little girl”(“그 계집아이 체험”). Jesus is a miracle man who goes beyond these human limits. Jesus' gaze is transformed into that of God or of angel, and let Kim Chun-soo continually reflect on human conditions and become an ethical subject. Jesus is also the one who participates in the sufferings of the disadvantaged and performs infinite love in response to their appeal. 「요보라의 쑥」(The Wormwood of Yobora) embodies Jesus' absolute and endless love and compassion for the tragic destiny of human beings and humans. However, the love of Jesus is helpless in that he can not actually solve the hardships and bitterness of the moment. It corresponds to the helpless love of God that can not but observe the crucifixion of the crucified Jesus. This love is helpless, but it shows the possibility of being able to rescue the suffering people from the isolation in the world by participating in the suffering of the sufferer and understanding and sharing the meaning together. That can be a miracle that Jesus' helpless love can bring about.
