윤회 사상과 해탈의 미학

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss Hwang Dong-kyu's poetry and Buddhist spirituality by focusing on the value of spiritualism. The theory of the Four Noble Truths, the core of Buddhist doctrine, is used as a framework for analysing Hwang's poetry. In Hwang's poetry, the analyses encompass the entire text, while at the same time paying attention to the images that persist in each poem. To this end, the variations and regressions of the water and fire images set up a model of methodology for textual analysis. By naming his poetic images as departure and harvest, repeated sorrow, sublimation of death, premiere and regression of life, the analysis of Hwang Dong-gyu's poetry confirmed the connection between the Buddhist spirit and the idea of reincarnation in his poetry.
