루쉰에게 있어서 죽음이라는 문제

Abstract

In modern Chinese writers, Lu Xun is the artist who has created the most works on the subject of ‘death’. Not only does the death of the main characters appearing in novels go unnoticed, but also in miscellaneous texts and other genres of work, there are many more objects of death than other authors. To distinguish death, it can be basically divided into ‘natural death, murder, suicide, accidental death', etc. In any form of death, death is the only tragic event that cannot be experienced as an individual but can be predicted. As a living organism as an individual, it is a natural event that has ‘one-time(一回性)' and ‘mortality(必滅性)' as basic properties, and therefore has ‘ordinary nature(凡常性)'. "If the death of the third person is the disappearance of someone with no mystery, the death of the first person is my death. The death of the second person is a special philosophical experience in that it borders both first and third person deaths, although death is second person death for some, because others perceive it as third person death. In other words, the non-sense of death gives meaning to life and denies it. As a result, the proposition that ‘beings that do not die are not living beings’ is established. The same is true of Lu Xun's words. It is intended to accept the approaching death (natural death due to illness) as an active self-inflicted death, even if it is not an intentional death. It is trying to accept death in the ‘unpersonal, public name’ rather than the first person because “no one forgives”. In other words, the death of the third person converges to the death of the first person, and the death of the first person spreads to the third person, so that the death of the ‘unpersonal or public name' is shared or coexist. In this way, the various protagonists of death - the third and the second person - appear in the work to be revived, and in the process, criticize and denounce the misery of the era Lu Xun lived and the structure of this death.
