북한소설 『군바바』에 나타난 ‘민족의식’ = A Study on 'the Nationalism' in the North Korean Novel, 『Gunbaba』

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

『Gunbaba』, written by Kim Hye-sung, a rising writer of North Korea, is a historical long-novel which is remarkably highlighting the characteristic of the independence and nationality of our people by standing a Josun military officer as a hero with a historical background of Josun which was dotted with a long spell of national ordeal such like the residence of the Japanese supervising Agent in 1906, the dismission of the Korean army in 1907, the Special Envoys of Hague, and the deposition of King Gojong.
『Gunbaba』 has a framwork of latitude of longitude of supporting characters such like Jock-song, Kwon Ki-hong, Kim Hui-sook, Yang Seol-hee, and Lee around a hero, Nam Sang-duk, a main character.
This work is, so to speak, based on ' the First People of Josun', the ideology of 'nationalism', which was stressed by Kim Jeong-il, the chairman of the defence committee after he came to the force.
This ideology was functioned as the driving force that caused the writing tendency such like the realistic works of the historical theme that were in great vogue in the North Korean society.
Especially in one point, this work gives fun to the readers that it focuses on the nationalism by describing the various types in the decadent stage to the Japanese colonialism of the various kinds of characters, who had collaborated with the Japanese Imperialists in many ways, such as Kim Tae-jin, Lee Wan-yong, and Park Young-hyo of the day it shows.
First of all, Nam Sang-duk, the hero, is actually described as a person with many troubles in the work.
Nam Sang-duk, who graduated first from the Senior Military Academy and got appointed to a platoon commander of the Josun army, was continually playing a role as a trouble-maker.
Without regard to his soldiership, he is engaged into some trouble between 'Cheongcheon Pub' which is operated by Kwon Soon-sil, his friend Kwon Ki-hong's elder sister and 'Sakura Coffee Shop' which is operated by a Japanese, Yoshiko and he is behind bars and then is released.
In fact, it seems that the writer has intention in his mind that Nam Sang-duk, his hero, kept his foot in the trouble to make him <a sensible person>.
Besides, the hero, Nam Sang-duk, deeply impressed by the Drive for National Debt Compensation of Yang Ki-tak, organized the Danyeonhoe in his Josun army and raised money to participate in the Drive for National Debt Compensation.
Moreover, going on his way, he found a boy dying hit by the new train which first showed in Seoul and hurry to the doctor's office carrying him on his back and gave some portion of the fund for the Drive.
After all, these activities of him seem to include the writer's purpose not only to show the patriotism of Nam Sang-duk but also to reveal the falseness and the oppression of the Japanese Militarism through the victim by the train, which is propagandized as the symbol of modernization and the point of the modem civilization which is propagandized by the Japanese Imperialism.
Another one, Park Sung-hwan, the battalion commander, heard the news of the painful outcries of Yang Sung-hwan who had known the reality of the dismission of Josun army ordered by the Emperor' false will being forced by Lideungbakmun and his pro-Japanese Lee Wan-young, killed himself by a pistol.
Nam Sang-duk, the hero, hearing the gun-sound and witnessing the scene of the suicide, dashed to the common soldiers, stimulated them, and resisted in arms.
Nam Sang-duk, determined to die and with a bundle of explosive, rushed to the city gate where the Japanese machine-gun position and the fortress were lined up with and died a heroic death raising the morale of the rebel forces.
These gallantry and intrepidity come to the victory in the end and they transfer to the esthetical category of 'heroism' and 'nobility' which the North Korean esthetics categorized.
In 『Gunbaba』, there appears a peculiar assistant, Park jwa-su, who is set up a very
