다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this article is to examine the aspect of `mind` in Lee Kwang - soo`s 『Moo Jeong』 (1917) and Natsume Soseki`s 『Mind』 (1914). Lee Kwang Su and Natsume Soseki are regarded as modern writers of Korea and Japan. As a modern writer and intellectual, they create 『Moo Jeong』 and 『Mind』. The two novels deal with the “mind” of individuals in modern society in earnest. In modern society, individuals` minds are mixed with pre-modern values. Especially, the `mind` of the individual becomes more prominent with the agony caused by love. `Love`, which is formed by the action of the individual`s mind is manifested in the form of love, not love, mixed with conscience and guilt. The main motifs of the two novels are `love` between men and women. But the aspects of love is different. Love begins with the difference in attitude toward the main character`s love. This difference reflects the difference between the two writers` positions on `modernity`.
