죽음과 성장: 『미들마치』와 『미 비포 유』 = Death and Growth: Middlemarch and Me before You

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article adopts the perspective of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, who proclaimed that the only purpose of life is growth, in analyzing the deaths and legacies of Edward Casaubon and Peter Featherstone in George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871-72) and Will Traynor in Jojo Moyes’s Me Before You (2012). There are two deaths and subsequent legacies at the center of Middlemarch. The patriarchal Casaubon belittles his wife as an excuse for his egoism and incompetent scholarship during his life, and endeavors to control her freedom after his death through his conditions of inheritance. meanwhile, Featherstone directs most of his estate to his illegitimate child, Joshua Rigg, though he was expected to leave his relatives a considerable legacy. Thus the deaths in both cases frustrate the growth of their survivors. An imminent death is also at the center of Me Before You, in which Will, a wealthy general paralysis patient, falls in love with his poor care-giver, Louisa. While she tries to reverse his decision to be euthanized, he encourages Louisa to widen her horizons. After being euthanized in Switzerland, Will continues to support Louisa through his legacy, which covers college tuition and living expenses. In conclusion, these deaths and their consequences lead us to ask Kubler-Ross’ question: “How much do you love and serve others?”.
