다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the rhetorical techniques of irony in the fiction of Lee Sang, and to evaluate the aesthetic nature and its meaning in the Korean history of literature. The focus of this analysis is on the variation of the opposites and the distance between the narrator and the narrated objects which constitute opposites, which are the essential elements in the rhetoric of irony. The narrator's attitude is extracted from the analysis because all of the narration in the text belongs to the narrator. <Nalgae> is the most famous fiction of Lee Sang, and it shows the main narrating method in his fiction. <Nalgae> is constituted of the prologue and the body. In the prologue the narrator has two sides, and in the body the narrator hides in the back of unbelievable narrator 'I'. So the narration is contradicted and inconsistent. Contradictions of the acting I, the unbelievable narrating I, and intelligent narrating I make multiple ironic tension and distance. But as the narrative proceeds, the tension and distance gives way gradually, because the intelligent narrating I is coming out more and more. In the last part, intelligent narrating I present himself completely. So the tension of acting I and narrating I breaks down. But in the last moment 'I' exclaim Let's fly against the end of life and technique. Through this the tension and distance of irony accomplish again. In conclusion, Lee Sang's fiction reveals ironic narrator and multiple contradicted narration. This characteristics is an initiative achievement in the Korean history of fiction. And this is succeeded by coming generations such as Son Changseop, Jang Yonghak etc in the1950s and Kim Seungok, Choi Inhun, Seo Jeongin etc in the 1960s. The study of Lee Sang's fiction will be expanded to comparison with other ironic texts in the genealogy of ironic fiction.
