계몽적 소설의 문체 : 이광수 『무정』의 경우 = The Style of Enlightening Novels in case of "Moo Jung" by Kwangsoo Lee

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to establish a type of style in enlightening novels by analyzing the attributes of "Moo Jung"(1917) by kwangsoo Lee(1892-1950), which is regarded as a model for enlightening novels in Korean modern literature.
The first issue in the study of style is to establish the conception of style and the method of study. Even though traditional studies of style have usually understood the former in terms of authors individualities or of characteristics in the period, I think that there are a few of difficulties. Therefore, I'd like to restrict the conception of style and the subject of study within each work. Also I would try to define the style as the unique attitude of author toward the world, considering that linguistic devices are always related to the attitudes of author in the works. My method could start from finding out a style marker that produces the aesthetic effects in a work and analyze its function and effect within a work.
If I summarize the result of analyzing the attributes of "Moo Jung", as an example of enlightening style, it is that the main character, Hyungsik Lee, puts emphasis on appearances or behaviors of people whom he watches, not on the inside. In other words, he accepts his perception without doubt. He prefers improving his romantic imagination to understanding the object impartially. Also there are many examples of judging others by partial standards. Moreover "Moo Jung" concentrates on dramatic narrative that leads the insufficient present to the sufficient future. It shows the structure of narrative emphasizing not its process but its result, as we can see that Hyungsik or Sunhyoung regard the present lives as temporary and often fancy the future. The metaphor is a means to persuading and refreshing emotions instead of a way to finding the reality.
Such attributes of style in "Moo Jung" could be understood to be a type of enlightening style, if we divided the style to the reflecting one by the will of negative subject and the enlightening one by the positive subject.
The work of figuring out the attibutes of style in "Moo Jung" and of establishing a type of enlightening style means studying not only changes in the works of Kwangsoo Lee after Sam-il movement but also advances in Korean novels of other authors who have yielded the varieties in style.
