『수제너 무디의 일기』를 통해 본 마거릿 �荑理揚�이중성의 시학 = Margaret Atwood's Poetics of Duplicity in The Journals of Susanna Moodie

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to explore how Atwood embodies her vision of duplicity in The Journals of Susanna Moodie.
Atwood is primarily concerned with themes of opposition or polarity. But she strives for a constructive reconciliation of various polarities. For Atwood, duplicity is a natural state that should be viewed positively, and is not to be confused with polarity. She suggests that when we reduce relationships to polar opposites - subject/object, mind/body, male/female, or culture/nautre - we set up adversary positions, in other words, the power politics of victims and victors.
The Journals of Susanna Moodie is the best of Atwood's works, for it is the mythic embodiment of Atwood's vision, an emblem of Canada's cultural past and a symbol of human physiological, psychological, and linguistic doubleness.
In The Journals Atwood speaks with Moodie's double voice to make the readers hear and see the possibilities or inevitability of duality. In accepting, instead of polarizing our identity, we accept the self's duplication of everything. And instead of defining ourselves over against our surroundings and each other like Moodie, the progressively insane pioneer, we must learn to accept our place within a duplistic system which we mirror and in which we are mirrored. That is the way of being which we can live in a natural creative harmony with the world.
