主體性理念의 文藝學的 硏究 = The Literary Study of the Subjectivistic Idea in Milton's Epic

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One's subjectivistic idea bears a great relationship to life in society and human historical development. This is especially so in a country such as Korea due to the fact that she has experienced a loss of that idea. Milton, with whom the investigator has dealt, treats this problem exhaustively in his epic. First Milton's age underwent unprecedented turmoil, and in searching for a subjectivistic idea, an important right of man, by discovering freedom and establishing a democracy, the citizens of England participated in searching out the dignity of man and expanding the idea in every aspect of life: society, religion, politics. In this whirlpool of his age, Milton wielded his pen for man's freedom and subjectivity from his college days, struggling constantly for them throughout his life in every imaginable aspect. Even after he was appointed as Cromwell's secretary, Milton endeavoured to emphasize man's subjectivity in family, society, religion, and politics. And in that noted problem of freedom of speech, he placed an emphasis upon publicizing all public opinions and having all individuals judge them. In his particular, the idea and action of subjectivity are expressed with concentration.
First of all, in view of his creative attitude, the motive of his epic, Paradise Lost itself is based upon English subjectivity and Miltionic subjectivity. Therefore, in the form of poetry, he abandoned rhyme, declaring that he would use his own form by calling upon Christian muses. Thereby he created his own genre by introducing the past form of the epic, and innovating it with his own form. In its contents as well, he quotes his own interpretation of The Bible, which resulted in his being regarded as a heretic. He revised the relationships of God, creation, and the view of the material world, In short, he created his own subjectivistic world In the aspect of his soul, this is more true. In considering the negative idea of subjectivity, Satan's motive for revolt is caused by his excessive desire for subjectivistic idea! In considering the cause of failue, Milton manitains that the consciousness of that idea has not been damaged in any deghee
Whatsoever. Besides, he presents the philosophy of subjectivistic idea in that everything can be overcome by the possession of subjectivity. On the other hand, in the positive idea of subjectivity, God has Adam and Eve decide on everything as their subjectivistic ideas dictate. In the original sin and the expulsion from the Garden, also, the actions are initiated not by outside compulsion buy by their subjectivistic decisions. Besides, Milton appealingly delineates the salvation of mankind as also made effective by his own effort and endeavor. Last but not in the least, in his view of Paradise, he presents a surprising idea. Paradise does not exist in any objectivism, but it is created by an individual in his own subjectivism. This is his major premise, by which alone he portrays the eternal problem of mankind.
Milton's subjectivism indicates a problem to our modern world, when we are experiencing the trifleness of man and the loss of subjectivity to an extreme extent. His subjectivistic idea brings us to realize the fruitlessness of the flunkeyism of Koreans and of the unconditional introdnction of foreign cultures. For establishing our subjectivistic idea and thereby creating our own spiritual culture and literature ‘Milton’s view of subjectivism brings us to reflect upon ourselves.
