초록
자신도 어쩔 수 없는 크리스천에 관한 희극적 소설”인 『현명한 피』는 신으로부터 도망치기에 실패한 주인공이 기독교적 영웅의 위치를 성취함으로써 아이러니하게도 승리를 거둔다는 줄거리를 다룬다. 착한 사람(진정한 크리스천)을 찾기 어려운 추락한 세상에서, 주인공은 그리스도와 십자가의 고난에 자신을 전부 바침으로써 예시적 영웅의 역할을 한다. 그의 결연한 의지에 의한 죄짓기와 고행의 행위들은 궁극적으로 그를 구원에 이르게 하고, 이를 통하여 가톨릭의 모순과 위안의 교리인 펠릭스 쿨파(행복한 추락)를 구현한다. 주인공의 발자취를 밀착 추적함으로써, 죄와 구원, 그리고 펠릭스 쿨파에 이르는 오코너적 가톨릭 주제가 그녀의 첫 장편소설에서 발아하는 과정을 확인할 수 있다. 본고는 『현명한 피』의 종교적 읽기를 통하여, 초기작품의 여러 결함에도 불구하고 오코너 문학의 중요한 자리를 차지할 자격이 충분히 있는 작품으로 재조명한다.
Abstract
Wise Blood is “a comic novel about a Christian malgré lui (despitehimself),” who ironically achieves a heroic stature by failing triumphantly to run away from God. In a fallen world where a good man (a true Christian) is hard to find, the protagonist plays the role of an exemplary hero in his total commitment to Christ and to the Cross of suffering. His willful acts of sinning and penance ultimately lead him to redemption, thereby enacting the paradoxical and comforting the Catholic doctrine of felix culpa (the fortunate fall). The “single O’Connor story” of “mythic dimensions” is the drama of man’s fall and redemption. By tracing closely the footsteps of the protagonist, we may find the O’Connor theme of Catholicism—sin, redemption, and felix culpa—germinating in her first novel. Therefore, the paper argues that Wise Blood deserves to be a fine specimen in the O’Connor literature for all the defects of the early work.
