다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There have been much studies and disscussions on the symbol of 'Nim' (lover) in Manhae's poems from various aspects. As a whole they may be listed up in three Parts as follows.
① 'Nim' is a symbol for the fatherland.
② 'Nim' is a religious symbol for Buddhism.
③ 'Nim' has some complex meaning for fatherland, lover, God, brethren, Buddhism, etc.
But, these observations might have some defects and logical faults because we can hardly accept these assertions as a valid basis for arguments. Therefore we must attempt to analyze the whole content of his poem, "Silence of Nim" with sincerity. In the last analysis about the poem "Silence of Nim", we can arrive to the following conclusions.
A) The meaning of "Nim" in the preface "Redundant Word" is a symbol for his fatherland and his nation which had been in a critical situation like a miserable infant lamb."
B) The meaning of "Nim" in "Silence of Nim" have various special qualities as follows.
① The lover(Nim) that left him behind.
② The lover in the days old.
③ The lover that gone away from him by some unintended circumstances.
④ The lover that left away from him in the begining of Autumn season

⑥ The lover who would come back to him without fail.
⑦ The lover who had not come back to him yet.
⑧ The lover who has kept silence.
After all, the meaning of "Nim" (lover) in Manhae's poems must be suitable to one or more of the above-side eight categories. Among them the meaning of "Nim" appears to be the nearest symbol for the fatherland. In short, "Nim" in Manhae's poems is nothing but a representation of his fatherland "Korea" in desolated situation in which he has born and kept on living. It seems simply that he added to it some ideals of Buddhism and traditional Korean woman moral virtues.
