『복락원』에 나타난 소명적 요소 : Ⅰ,Ⅱ권을 중심으로 = Vocational Motif in Book Ⅰ,Ⅱ of Milton`s PR

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

At the end of Book I, Christ declared himself God's prophet. But he extends his voational awareness by proclaiming himself his Father's priest whose function is to teach-by both precept and example-the doctrine of salvation and to lead men from darkmess into light. For the Son the experience in the wildermess is a voyage of self-discovery, indeed one other than Chist's deepening self-awareness, his growing recognition of his announced role as Savior and his attainment through trial of that self-knowledge and that vocational insight which are the prereguisites of his sacred mission.
Before he sent forth to conquer' the two great toes, by humiliation and strong suffering (BK 1:157).,' the Son must be educated in the reguirements of his vocations as Messiah.
Satan invites the Son to presume by performing a miracle and askes him to take the Law into his own hands and so to become, like Satan himself, not only disobedient but also the rebelling rival of God. But Christ, knowing that obedience does not always involve activity and that will to relax the will, to perform real acts in God's time and no pseud-acts in his own.
The thematic pattern stressed in the opening half of BookⅡ in that of doubt and impatience yielding to faith and patience. Each of the characters- Apostles, Mary, Satan and Christ-begins with an experssion of doubt, But each, except Satan, succeeds in denying the importunate claims of his individual will and placing his trust in divine will, PR is concerned with the annihilation of the self and the stages by which the Son grows toward the final attainment of this ideal of theological' negative capability'. The protagonist of PR is more than a symbol of salvation, a examples and a model for human imitation.
