다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this thsis is to recognize the final meaning of the wreck dealt with in the wreck of the Deutschland by G. M. Hopkins. According to christian doctrine, the mysteries of our inner and outer lives point back to a God. God masters the universe. Yet to human intelligence, God remains endowed with a paradoxical combination of opposing attributes.
So man is often bewildered by a certainly paradoxical universe and a seemingly paradoxical God. G. M. Hopkins also went through the same experience as this in the past.
The news of the wreck of the deutschland reminded him of his inner struggle in the past, and he wrote a poem, The Wreck of the Deutschland on this subject.
Hopkinds divided the poem into two parts. in part Ⅰ, he treats his inner struggle.
The speaker is terrified with the idea of divine chastisements-the frown of God's face. So he wants to flee to the heart of the Host as the evidence of God's mercy in order to restore the peace of mind.
Finally he passes through his anguish to a more than satisfying solution, which was to bring much more glory to Christ.
Therefore the wreck became harvest. Part Ⅱ develops this view of God and His ways with reference to those aboard the Deutschland, especially five nuns.
The sufferings of the nuns led them to have recourse to God. The meaning of the word “wreck” contains the idea of destruction, and loss, but in the Wreck of the Deutschland “wreck is harvest, tempest carrys grain.”
So the meaning of the word “wreck” in the wreck of the Deutschland is paradoxical.
using paradoxes, Hopkins succeedingly expressed his understanding and acceptance of God's providence in the whole world.
Therefore This poem is not a poem of constriction, fear and submission, but that of the love of God. The Wreck of the Deutschland by G. M. Hopkins is not a Good Friday poem, but an Easter Sunday poem.
