누이의 죽음, 잔영, 그리움

초록

This study examined the changes and continuity in brother-and-sister relationships in Korean Literature. To begin the discussion, I analyzed literature pieces of Ji Won Park, Deok Mu Lee, and Je Ga Park that depict their late sisters. These three pieces are based on personal experiences, but tend to share the general emotion of Korean Literature. The purpose of his study is to clarity this vague feeling that is often considered Korean but not very specific. I used the basic intimacy of brother-and-sister relationships which I had found from the analysis of several old stories and the discussion on changes in family system in the late Joseon Dynasty. All three pieces I examined showed the feeling of loss and detachment for 'sister's marriage' and this feeling amplified the writers' grief in these three pieces. I also analyzed three poems from the 1920s and one poem each from the 1950s and 1970s to identify the continuity of such feeling. By doing so, I could prove that 'longing for sisters,' which has been the traditional emotion of Korea, has emerged and changed in interaction with Korea's unique history. However, the conclusion needs to be made after analyzing more historical records and finding supportive materials from the fields of sociology, psychology, and humanity. This study left his findings as a hypothesis.
