<周生傳>의 비극성 연구 = A study on the Tragedy of 'Jusaengjeon(周生傳)'

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본고는 16,17세기 서사환경의 변화와 작가 권필의 심리적 상황을 살펴 <주생전>의 비극성을 분석하는 논문이다. 작가 권필의 생애에서 결핍감과 유랑하는 삶속에서 느껴지던 정착에 대한 욕구는 주생에게 투영되어 있다. 이에 주생은 배도와 선화와의 결연 등 서사 전개 과정에서 결핍감과 유리하는 삶을 보여주고 있다. 이 두 가지 심리는 서사 진행에 따라 조응하게 되면서 비극성을 강조하는 양상을 보이고, 주생의 고뇌는 열린결말구조로 인하여 고취되어 비극적인 정조의 여운을 남기게 된다.

The purpose of this study was to find the source that creates tragedy by paying attention to the tragedy that is perceived in ｢Jusaengjeon(周生傳)｣. The preceding studies understood that mainly the aspect of love biography's tradition and the influence of war create the tragedy of ｢Jusaengjeon｣. However, this study considered that other viewpoints are required to completely comprehend the tragedy that governs ｢Jusaengjeon｣. In this connection, it examined the narrative environment until the 17th century and accordingly, the recognition change process of the literatus. Moreover, it closely analyzed the narrative structure of ｢Jusaengjeon｣ that emerges in accordance with the life of the author, Kwon Pil.
Since the wave of ｢Seolgongchanjeon(薛公瓚傳)｣, novels were used for the purpose of enlightenment. But novels that dealt with the issue of desire rather than social ideas were created. Among them, particularly the emergence of ｢Suseongji(愁城誌)｣ notified beforehand the opening of the age that an internal motive was emphasized in the creation of novels. This revelation of the internal creation motive was in concert with the situation of war that occurred in the 17th century and became a chance to produce works of various layers.
The creation of ｢Jusaengjeon｣ was related to the life of the author. The meaning of a family to Kown Pil was an incomplete component. This was because separate from the real existence of a father, Kwon Pil felt fatherhood' absence. In addition, it is found that while wandering in war, he underlaid the desire to settle down at an emotional level instead of the settlement at a surviving level. This lifetime environment hints to us that psychology of absence and desire for settlement to Kown Pil were being formed in his subconsciousness.
The author's emotion and situation were reflected in the behavior and psychology of Jusaeng of his work. The characters in ｢Jusaengjeon｣ are laid respectively in the situation of absence. However, even though Jusaeng confronted the situation of absence, he did not feel lack. But as he arrived at Jeondang and met Bedo and Seonhwa, Jusaeng started recognizing his situation. Therefore, recognition of lack followed by absence and desire for settlement in life that could not help being wandering to an unavoidable situation were revealed. Furthermore, as the two psychological situations corresponded to each other, it was found that the phase of tragedy gradually rose.
War in the works of the similar period, ｢Choicheokjeon(崔陟傳)｣ and ｢Unyeongjeon(雲英傳)｣ was presented as an object that can be overcome. The war appearance of ｢Choicheokjeon｣ describes not only male and female main characters but also misery suffered by the community. Even though a direct war phase is not shown in ｢Unyeongjeon｣, war atmosphere governs the whole work from the establishment of the ruined palace. Like this, each trace of war is shown differently but at last, recovery of the community and relationship establishment of man and woman led to overcome it. However, the war in ｢Jusaengjeon｣ is not the object to overcome. The war in ｢Jusaengjeon｣ plays a role in more amplifying psychology that was felt in the situation in which Jusaeng could not help wandering from absence. Therefore, Jusaeng more absorbed in his problematic situation in war and could not expect hope for the future. Like this, the tragedy in ｢Jusaengjeon｣ could not be concluded but could not help continue endlessly.
