초록
본 연구는 『명예영사』에 나타난 지식인의 정치적 참여에 관한 분석이다. 『명예영사』 는 ‘가톨릭소설가’, 혹은 ‘정치소설가’로 널리 알려진 영국의 작가 그레이엄 그린의 정치적 소설로서 그의 대표작 중의 하나이다. 그레이엄 그린은 이 작품에서 지성인의 정치참여에 관한 자신의 견해를 암묵적으로 자신의 글쓰기 특징인 심각하지 않은 희비극적인 기법을 사용하여 전달하고 있다. 교회의 교리와 맞지 않게 행동하는 신부들을 보면서 성직자에 대한 회의적 시각을 갖게 되어 결국은 파계를 한 신부 레온 리바스가 방관적 자세로 자신의 생활만을 묵묵히 해오던 의사 에두아르도 플라르를 정치적 해방운동에 참여시키는 과정이 상세하게 묘사되어 있다. 그레이엄 그린은 이들을 통하여 정부의 모순점에 대해 이의를 제기한다. 비록 레온 리바스와 에두아르도 플라르의 거사는주인공을 비롯한 세 사람의 희생으로 마무리되지만, 남은 사람들에게 해방정신을 심어준다. 또한 합리적 증거를 수반하기 어려운 삼위일체론, 예수의 십자가상의 희생, 고해성사, 미사 등에 관한 불확실성뿐만 아니라 정부의 모순점에 관해서도 언급한다. 그는『명예영사』를 쓰면서 특유의 유머를 잃지 않으며. 독자들이 의사나 실수를 많이 하는신부에게 동질감을 느낄 수 있게 한다. 그레이엄 그린은 『명예영사』를 통하여 우리 독자들, 특히 지성인들에게 정부나 종교에 대하여 어떠한 고찰도 해보지 않고 받아들이기보다는 비판적 수용을 하도록 요구한다.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to research the political participation of the intellects in The Honorary Consul (1973) written by Graham Greene. The Honorary Consul is one of the representative political novels written by Graham Greene who is well known as the ‘Catholic writer’ or ‘Political writer’. He presented tacitly his idea for the political participation of intellects with the devices of tragicomedy. The process of making a doctor Eduardo Plarr participate in the political accident is described deliberately. The apostate priest León Rivas was disappointed seeing that the priests didn’t behave as they preached. So he became a guerilla, and asked Eduardo Plarr to help him to save Eduardo Plarr’s father and other human rights activists. Even though the protagonist Plarr did not want to take part in the political events, he was reluctantly joined the group, and met the tragic destiny with León Rivas and the other member because of their error. Greene referred not only to the Trinity, the Sacrifice of Jesus, Confession and Mass which cannot be reasonably explained. He also raised the question about the contradictoriness of the government. He didn't lose his sense of humor in writing this novel. So the readers may sympathize with the doctor and the priest who made a lot of mistakes. Through his political novel, Graham Greene asks us intelligent readers to have critical reception of the Christianity or the governmental systems, not just accept them without any consideration.
