존 오스본과 손창섭의 작품에 나타난 전후문학에 대한 비교 고찰 = A Comparative Study on Post-War Literature Focused on the Works of John Osborne and Sohn, Chang-Seop

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article examines the similarity and difference of ways in which the new generations of postwar such as John Osborne and Sohn, Chang-Seop represent the postimperial condition after the collapse of the British empire and the division of Korea into north and south. After World War II many writers depicted the postwar world in realistic colours. They dealt with mainly the embodiment of the war the author had experienced and its effect. In the fifties there appeared a very interesting trend in literature, the followers of which were called “The Angry Young Men.” Their heroes were dissatisfied with the society in which they existed, and each in their own way rebelled against the traditional codes of their own society.
Look Back in Anger is considered one of the most important plays in the modern British theater. Jimmy Porter, the play’s main character, became the model for the “Angry Young Men,” a nickname given to an entire generation of artists and working class young Man in post-World War II British society. He is angry and dissatisfied at a world that offers him no social opportunities and a dearth of emotion. He longs to live a “real life.” He feels, however, that the trappings of working class domesticity keep him from reaching this better existence. His anger and rage are thus channeled towards those around him. Osborne’s play is a study in how this pent up frustration and social anger can wreak havoc on the ordinary lives of the British people.
Sohn, Chang-seop is a goal to study the consciousness of existence in literature after the Korean war. He had described the disastrous situation after Korean War most dismally. He invented many peculiar characters those are physically crippled or mentally disabled. I think that he made those abnormal situation and queer persons and then he sneered the contemptible characters. The fictitious world of his stories has significance by reason of `creation` such a unique world in order to oppose this vicious and malicious world rather than the fiction expressed some true meaning for itself.
