장후이원의 단편소설 ｢달 둥근 밤｣ 속의 ‘내면의 낯설음’ 연구

Abstract

The character “I” in A Night With the Full Moon became ‘an invisible person’ to his family members ‘inside’ the family after his delinquency just one time in a certain game room in his adolescence. He caused external injury to other person, but, thereby he got incurable, internal injury to himself for good. He became ‘a person who hid himself’ like an invisible man as a fake-cigarette delivery man in the society as well. The unfamiliarity of ‘non-existence’ both ‘internal’ and ‘external’ of ‘I’ only became expanded and deepened rather than becoming reduced or extinct, as his identity had changed from an inflictor to an offender, to a murderer, to a fugitive, to a runaway after seizing weapon, and to an inmate. The reason why the character ‘I’ became ‘a non-existing being’ imprisoned in himself and became ‘an erased being’ even outside, was originated by a lack of love. Love is begun from love and understanding, consideration and forgiveness in the family, and then it is expanded infinitely to those of others and in the society. This is a very common truth, but people often forget it.
