서양문학에 나타나는 대식(Gluttony)에 대한 시각 = Some Views on Gluttony Appeared in the Occidental Literary Works

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Every English word or expression related with gluttony, such as `a gormandizer`, `drink like a fish`, `gorge`, `cram`, `binge`, `devour`, `ravenous`, or `hoggish,` has a hint of mockery. This kind of attitude toward big eating and heavy drinking observed in the Occidental culture often makes us feel strange because we who are influenced by the Oriental or traditional Korean culture don`t look down big eating and heavy drinking that much. We should probably know that even in the modern culture of Korea, drinking gallons of wine without reserve is still being considered as very manly behaviour. In the Korean narrative literature which has best spoken for the people`s opinion for a long time, some stories like The story of Dduk-Bo and the Envoy and the story of To-Jung, Mr. Lee, Ji Ham show that we Koreans have thought one person`s gluttony could be good for his society or country. On the other hand, the Occidental religion and culture have convicted gluttony of one of Seven Deadly Sins. The great church fathers such as St. Gregorius and St. Thomas Aquinas defined what gluttony is in 5 or 6 ways. To them it was a very important matter how to eat food to escape committing the deadly sin. The Occidental culture has many food taboos. The Bible says about what God`s people can eat and what they can`t eat. They regarded gluttony as a sin which anyone could easily commit, and they believed that anyone who couldn`t control that basic desire could be easily tempted to other sins like greed, lust or sloth. Thus, many gluttons or heavy drinkers in the main works in the Occidental literature are involved with other deadly sins, and the very act of heavy eating and drinking is functioning as a visible and outer sign of their inner, moral sins.
