The aim of the thesis is to compare the image of Jiyong`s and Paek-Soek`s poems. Image is considered as the most important element in modern poetic crafts. Jiyong and Paek-Seok are the frist poets that used image as poetic technique in the history of korean modern poetry. Jiyong used many kinds of metaphor to express one object. He compared one object to some plants, animals, and many things. The distance is very far between tenor and vehicle of his metaphors. So his metaphors is valued as a very fresh and outstanding image. Sometimes he used foreign objects as vehicles for metaphors. But In Paek-Seok`s metaphor, a tenor is close to a vehicle. On the classical viewpoint of metaphor, Paed-Seok`s image is not well-made. But his poems show the poetic feeling properly because the images of his poems were harmonized with other objects in the poems. Especially Pak-Seok used traditional objects as vehicles for metaphor. This is a new method which Jiyong never try. Most of images in Jiyong`s poems are hearing images. His hearing images is not static but dynamic scenes which was expressed many scened by moving his viewpoints. So Jiyong`s images are called as a moving picture. However Paek-Seok used all kinds images: hearing images, seeing images, smell images, taste image and touch image. He tried to expressed the vivid life by using the diverse images. Above all, his smell images are distinguished in the history of korean modern poetry. Because nobody experimented the considerable smell images in poems as much as Paek-Seok did. Jiyong and Paek-Seok made a progress in the technique of modern Korean poem by developing image expression with each own special method.

We are in the midst of a global crisis that heralds a paradigm shift to a socially harmonious and ecological era. Though the ecological theory comes from western countries, the theoretical background is rooted in oriental spirit. Ecoism that aspires to keep the organic relationship between human and nature, agree with oriental thought that makes a great point of harmony between the planet and us. This study aims to uncover the core of ecoism(ecological ideology) that is included in the Korean modern lyric novels those of Kim Dong-Lee, Hwand Sun-Won and Oh Young-Su and other novelist after 1970th. Self-realization and biocentric equality that are the two norms of ecology, are found in their literary works common. This represents the Korean classical and modern literature can be explained by ecoism.

This thesis was written to study the discovery of modern subject and the Other in reality of colony. From the results of this study, followings are confirmed. Our People tried to obtain modern subjectivity during the 1900s. But we could experience modern subject only in ideal. It was 1910s that we really experienced modernity. That period is the moment that we discovered the individual. But instead of the discovery of the individual subject, we losed the communal unity and the independence of nation. Thus we could experience modernity through the Other reality. From the result of this. we experienced the division of the subject in ideal and the Other in reality. It represent the division of editorial discourse and narrative discourse. I studied this division of editorial discourse and narrative discourse by the comparative of the narrative in 1900s and the novel in 1910s. The novels in 1910s represent the division of editorial discourse and narrative discourse, while the narratives in 1900s represent the unity of them. To prove this, I studied the novel Hyeon Sang-Yun and Yand Geon-Sik(1910s). And I studied the novel of Yeom Sang-Seob(1920s) also. The division of editorial discourse and narrative discourse which discovered in their editorial(or essay) and novel represents the division of the community and the individual. And this also represents the aporia of the ideal of enlightenment and the agony of the Other in reality. Our People could experience modernity through this discovery of the Other in dark reality.

The purpose of this essay is to examine the distinctive features and the topographical locus of Rimmon-Kenan`s theory of narrative. This theory has significance in respect that it is result of reflections on the changed status of `literatrre` and `modern novel` in these days. Nowadays the literary works have no exclusive position among innummarable narratives in diverse media and genres. In this situation, Rimmon-Kenan tried to define the unique territory of narrative fiction by establishment of structural poetics. Rimmon-Kenan`s theory also has intentions to criticism on the individual text. And he regards as of great importance to the verval nature of narrative and narrating act. So we can say that his poetics of narrative inclines to text theory. In this essay, I examined concretely this inclination involved in every aspect of his theory of narration structure ; story, text, narration. Rimmon-Kenan is especially concerned about literariness, textuality, and poliphony of narrative fiction. It is notable in the part of character, focalization, and free indrect discourse etc, This study is, I hope, able to contribute to proper applications of his theory to the suitable texts and by compatibe intentions.

Lee, Ju-hong(1906-1987) is one of the authorities in Korean modern literature, A goal of this article is to investigate and report activities in juvenile literature, which occurred mainly relating to Shinsonyun from mid of 1920 to mid of 1930. First, Lee made his debut to Korean literary circles with publication of Immorality of a young snake on the May issue of Shinsonyun in 1928, Second, in Shinsonyun juvenile stories usually consist of fables, which try to tell about class contradiction, and novels include miserable experiences of family, which happen to boy and girl protagonists. His descriptions have a characteristic to make a complete view of class contradiction in the colonial society of Korea. Third, childrens verses show two aspects, the reality of excluded children from the systematized education of Japanese imperialism and of labor exploitation in the colony. This helps to make a complete view of the reality of national contradiction simply. Fourth, juvenile dramas are conspicuous at forms, such as a one-act play, amateur play, and chorus play. Instead, class or national contradiction is declined in them, Fifth, early juvenile literature of Lee, Ju-hong is very meaningful because it shows many ways of early enlightening direction on which the proletarian juvenile literature in Korean tried to move.

Jisaeneun Angae is the first novel of Hyeon Jin-geon, which scarcely has been noticed yet. Hyeon attracted critic attention to excelltent technics in history of short-stories. He also was estimated to establish idea of `reality` in modern literature. However, his novels cannot catch for short-stories. Because the ideological basis was not established in his novels which is essential to modern novel. He failed to unit social recognition and aesthetic one. This failure resulted in this : in his novels, private experiences couldn`t be converted into social phase, and those two elements were described separately. These inclinations were common in another authors who pursued modern art, living in colonial conditions. Here, we can find one of the causes revealing why history of modern novels was developed centering short-stories, not novels.

Modern Korean Sijo is a lyrical genre, which takes its form the traditional Sijo and shares its with modern poetry. Accordingly, the genre takes on a quality of both the conventional style of Sijo and the autonomy of modern free verse. This binary energy, characteristically embedded in modern Korean Sijo, is well demonstrated in Lee Sangbeom`s Sijo and provides a theory of poetics for modern Sijo. On the one hand, modern Sijo keeps the traditional rules of rhythm and three stanza form, the four steps in composition, that is, introduction, development, reversal, and conclusion and the diverse in subject matter and theme and organic in form by virtue of modern free verse.

The nation of enlightenment as a source of narratives hold a very important position in colonial period. Narrative of enlightenment was formed by writers who intend to modes of national self-consciousness. Novels of enlightenment enable us to imagine experience narratively. Therefore, it were included concrete political ideas, about what a nation has been.

As literary works, they make new commitments to form and style which displace older rhetorical theories of purpose and expression, In the works, One was discovered the common quality that is immanent in the form and consciousness. The heros are a outstanding figure who from urban community, and give lessons to farmers who are foolish men. He has stood the severe trials of enlightenment movement, his attempt was a great success. This of enlightenment movement, his attempt was a great success. This are contains national self-awareness. In conclusion, the Novels of Enlightenment were structured the form of narrative and self-awareness in common.

Lee, Sang-Hwa is one of the representative poets who elicit sexual devices as the discourse of humor in the history of contemporary poetry. This study seeks to examine the problem of sex and humor represented in our poetry in the two perspectives, such as `reality principles and conventional sex` and `sexual deviation and plastic sexuality`, focusing on Lee, Sang-Hwa`s first poetry, The Allegory of Bogs. Lee, Sang-Hwa`s treats decentered sex as major poetic objects. The decentered sex is free from old relationship which has been derived from ignorance and prejudice concerning biological and social difference between men and women, such as sexually fixed idea and reproduction, or kinship and generation. When we consider the mass production tendency of sexual discourses based on the liberation of sexual repression since 1980, his sexual satires and humors concerning the problem of conventional sex and sexual deviation have important meanings as a literary history. His poems constructively using vernaculars and secret languages definitely affect the extension of poetry province and form the distinct stream of our poems starting from Jeon, Young-Kyung and succeeded into Han, Moo-Hak and Kim, Ji-Ha.
