신채호의 소설의 전도적 상상력과 그 서사적 효과 ― 「백세노승의 미인담」과 「용과 용의 대격전」을 중심으로

초록

Shin Chae-ho has actively embraced traditional popular fables and created novels based on them. Rather than being indifferent to the modern literature in Western countries, he adopts the way of literary writing that actively makes use of the traditional narrative style, which makes it hard to designate his works in any part of Korean modern history of literature because of the unique nature in terms of ontology. Therefore, this study examines the style of accepting popular fables focusing on 「A One-Hundred Year Old Man's Story About A Beauty」 and 「A Fierce Battle Between Two Dragons」, and addresses the features of his style of literary writing in terms of ontology based on the result. 「A One-Hundred Year Old Man's Story About A Beauty」 adopts the narrative structure of the fable of "the extirpation of a great enemy in the underground state," which involves betrayal to the wife. However, Shin Chae-ho adopts the narrative pattern of folk fables that maintain the positive view of life by focusing on things that one possesses, and thus try to combine all other things while implying a narrative strategy of twisting and overturning them. In that way, he is successfully overturning the problem of rise and fall. In addition, 「A Fierce Battle Between Two Dragons」 is based on the fable of dragons and the idea of Maitreya. Although both works set the general public as the key subject of narration, there is difference between them that could not be neglected. While the public described in 「A One-Hundred Year Old Man's Story About A Beauty」 is the public thought of and described in terms of nationalism, that of 「A Fierce Battle Between Two Dragons」 reflects the people that lost the color of the nation and are thought of in terms of class.
