Abstract

This study aims to analysis The Garden of childhood, and Chinese Street by Oh Jeong-hee, especially to focus on how a child has many knows about the thing and persons around her. Norangnoon who is teller in The Garden of childhood is characterised by exceeding the necessary quantity of food. But truly this constantly eating aims to violate the rule which is permitted to her. Norangnoon wants to break a rule like women in this story. And Norangnoon always knows what is doing and how it can be. She knows her father and Boone are always already dead. Norangnoon is always already grown-up. Otherwise Oh, Jeonghee's Chinese Street is dealing with the event that ‘I’ have experienced in Chinatown. In this work, mother is an object for imaginary identification to ‘me’. Mother has the place where what ‘I’ would like to be with a view of man who have power in a social world. But the chinese man is an object for symbolic identification to ‘me’. ‘I’ want to appear to him likeable. ‘I’ don't want to grow up in the level of imaginary identification. ‘I’ don't want to imitate mother's or other woman's life. But in the level of symbolic identification, ‘I’ want to be grown up, ‘I’ want to be a lady for the chinese man. This paradoxical situation features Oh, Jeonghee's Chinese street.
