魯迅의 『野草』 독해

Abstract

This article is written to explain the core of Luxun's spirit through construing “Wild Plants(Yecao)”. In the first place, this article examines the style of “Wild Plants” and explains that it has a characteristic of the interior confession. Explanation of works is based on this characteristic. This article's conclusion is as follows. The first, the works in “Wild Plants” hold the mood of darkness, which does not come into being in this period, but have been repeating several times and have been sticking to him since he studied in Japan. So, we may have an opinion that the mood of darkness is the fundamental mood in Luxun's spirit. The second, although the mood last long in Luxun's spirit, his attitude toward the darkness expressed in “Wild Plants” is dissimilar to that in former times. Formerly, he put himself under anesthesia for forgetfulness, or took a attitude of self-deceit through hope's shield. But in “Wild Plants” he won't turn his face away and does stand face to face with the darkness. The third, the darkness that Luxun confronts results from his denial spirit and no prospect, that is, he unyieldingly denies dark reality but he has no way to gain a prospect, so he is compelled to stand out against widely spreading darkness. The fourth, his confronting darkness leads to his entangling and dying with the darkness. That is just revenge spirit founded in his works. The spirit of the above is considerably expressed in shadow's farewell, a traveler, such a warrior, hope, revenge. It might be explicated from the revenge spirit why Luxun stopped writing fictions and beginning to give his whole mind to miscellaneous writings after the middle age of 1920's, and what the spirit of his miscellaneous writings is.
