아라이의 소설 「형 집행인 얼이」와 『색에 물들다』 속의 투쓰 삼부자의 ‘권력 욕망’ 연구

Abstract

Executioner Er Yi, writer A Lai’s novel, was published in the Issue No. 1 in the magazine Flower City in 1997. The Dust Settles was finished in 1994 but was published in book form by People’s Literature Publishing Company in 1998. The core point of Executioner Er Yi and The Dust Settles was who would be the next Tusi and who would grab the power. The common point that led the story was who the father Tusi would give his power to, first or second son. Accordingly, all three men, father and two sons, struggled for power in both works. In other words, around ‘Tusi=Power’, the power struggle among ‘Gangtuo Tusi (father) and elder son and Pabasijia (second son)’ and ‘Maiqi Tusi (father) and Danzhengongbu (the first son) and the Fool(second son)’ was the major events in the novels. Also, Monk Gongburenqin and Monk Wengboyisi disobeyed the authority of Tusi, who was an order-giver, and threatened to his power, so their tongues got cut. The headcutter(executioner) who obeyed his orders and was a slave, Er Yi (father) and Er Yi (his son) executed them.
