일반논문 : 「말하지 않은 거짓말」에 나타난 계시의 순간 = A Moment of Revelation in “The Untold Lie”

국문 초록 (Abstract)

셔우드 앤더슨(Sherwood Anderson)은 『와인즈버그, 오하이오』(Winesburg, Ohio 1919)에서 그로테스크들의 삶의 표면에 드러난 사실을 그대로 재현하는 것이 아니라, 그들이 삶의 본질을 깨닫는 순간을 포착하여 다양한 이미지로 묘사한다. 특히 「말하지 않은 거짓말」(“The Untold Lie”)은 다른 단편들과는 직접적인 관련이 없는 독립적인 이야기이면서도 계시의 순간을 다룬 그의 문학의 정수를 보여준다. 이 단편에서 앤더슨은 매우다른 성향을 가진 농장 노동자인 레이(Ray Pearson)와 할(Hal Winters)이 짧은 시간동안 서로를 이해하고 공감하는 상호작용에 초점을 맞춘다. 이러한 공감의 순간은 늦은 가을의 아름다운 시골을 배경으로 마치 하나의 그림과 같은 이미지로 제시된다. 앤더슨은 와인즈버그에서 억눌리고 소외된 삶을 살아가는 개인들이 서로의 내적 진실을 공감하는 짧은 계시의 순간을 예술적으로 표현한다는 점에서 「말하지 않은 거짓말」의 문학적인 가치는 높이 평가될 수 있다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Sherwood Anderson does not show reality as it is appeared on the surface in the lives of grotesques, but catches the moments for grotesques to realize the essence of life and describes through a variety of images in Winesburg, Ohio. Especially, “The Untold Lie”, a separate tale, shows the quintessence in his art that deals with the moments of revelation. In this short tale, although Ray and Hal are different not only in physique but also in temperament, Anderson focuses on the two men’s interplay to understand and empathize with each other. The moment they stand staring into each other’s eye in an field on sensing the beauty of the country is depicted as the image of a picture. In that Anderson artistically expresses a short moment of realization for individuals who live repressed and isolated life to sympathize their inner truths, I greatly appreciate the literary value of “The Untold Lie”.
