포우의 작품에 나타난 유머와 풍자 그리고 사회비평 = “Humor, Satire, and Social Criticism in Edgar Allan Poe’s Works.”

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relationship and meaning of humor, satire, and social criticism revealed in Edgar Allan Poe’s works. Although he is well known as horror, ratiocinative or detective, grotesque, and science fiction novels as well as romantic poems, Poe has luxuriant humorous and satirical senses, and shows social critical consciousness in his many works such as short stories and novels. Poe also reveals a big concern and critical mind in mammonism and venality rampant in the then American society. In particular, he tries to allude his economic difficulties and financial hardships implicitly by using the humorous and satirical literary techniques in his works. In particular, it is believed that Poe is very sensitive to social phenomenons and transformations from moral-oriented to material-oriented society in the early nineteenth century. Therefore, this article will focus on the meaning of humor, satire, and social criticism in Poe’s short stories such as “The Business Man,” “Diddling Considered as One of the Exact Sciences,” and “The Spectacles,” and on how those elements work.
