『종』과 『프랑스 중위의 여자』 연구: 자유와 리얼리티 = A Study of The Bell and The French Lieutenant's Woman: Freedom and Reality

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper aims at discussing how effectively and artistically Murdoch and Fowles express their theories of freedom and reality with transformed realism.
Through Murdoch's transcendental realism, she shows us the vision of freedom which is followed by complete recognition of true reality. This vision means that we should admit the otherness of people and the contingency of outer world through a loving attention so that we could see the true reality without any distortion or fantasy. In this way, we can get over the egoistic instinct, experience love and freedom, and then come closer to true reality.
Fowles uses realism-parody which is much the same as Victorian novels. Although he accepts Victorian stories and situation with time order, he stresses the importance of free characters in fiction. He comments on the action, but he does not control it. In addition, meta-fiction method, three different endings, and mirrorlike form make the reader including characters break the boundary between the real and fiction, then they could be free from their form. He attempts to free the readers from the traditional role of passive and uninvolved observer of the action. Fowles, in breaking down traditional reality and fiction dichotomy, depicts the recognition of freedom and true reality.
