영남대 46장본 <계월젼>의 특징과 가치

Abstract

This study is to explore narrative characteristics and value as a different version in Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon. The introduction of Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon presents its time and space background as ‘Gugye－chon of Cheongju in the year of Daemyeong Hongmu’, ‘the parts of Siju・Balwon’ are newly added, and the phrase stated in the original line, ‘the misfortune of dying three times’, is adopted just as it is. This is distinctly different from the intro of the Dankook University 103 jang－version line and Hanjungyeon 45 jangversion line; therefore, it is estimated as the product of intentional adaption.BR Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon changes enemy general ‘Maenggil’ to ‘Maengdal’ in War Story 2 to deliver the fact that marine enemy Maenggil is a different person from Wu․Cho’s general Maengdal. Also, by omitting the part where Gyewol competes with Boguk, it intends to recover the dignity of Boguk. Maengdal is set additionally because of the narrative doubt about marine enemy Maenggil becoming Wu․Cho’s general and omitting the part where Gyewol fights against Boguk is attributed to the judgment that the dignity of Boguk is tarnished too much.BR War Story 2 in Yeungnam University 46 jang－version 계월젼 omits Hong Sirang’s journey of evacuation. This is seen as part of getting rid of boredom coming from repeated family meeting and parting and balancing the narration with Boguk. But omitting the journey of evacuation rather raises a new problem of destroying the predicting composition. Moreover, the awkward and hasty conclusion of Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon is attributed to the mixture between the ‘delay’ of punishing Maenggil due to the revision of War Story 2 and the narrative blank resulted from the ‘destruction’ of the predicting composition.BR There are total five kinds of different versions having the same narrative as Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon. Compared to the two previous lines, they show distinctive differences in the introduction, War Story 2, journey of evacuation, and the ending,. So, we have the ground to set up the new line necessarily. Yeungnam University 46 jang－version Gyewoljyeon was transcribed earliest among the five kinds of different versions and indicates almost no faults in the contents. Therefore, it would be appropriate to take it as ‘the good basis’ of those new five different versions and name them as ‘the Yeungnam University 46 jang－version line’. With the Yeungnam University 46 jang－version line, we can clearly see that Honggyewoljeon was transmitted as more than three lines divided around the late 19th century.
