초록

이 글은 돈에 대한 김유정 개인의 특수한 경험을 토대로 김유정의 소설과 돈의 문제에 관해서 고찰한 논문이다. 이러한 목적에서 이 글은 김유정 소설을 이해하는 데 있어 ‘돈’이 중요한 키워드이며, 자전소설과 농촌소설과 도시소설의 핵심 갈등을 구성하는 매개라는 것을 밝히고자 하였다. 그 결과로 이들 작품에 투사된 김유정의 글쓰기 행위에는 기본적으로 돈에 대한 양가감정이 전제되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 그 이면에는 가족사의 상처에서 발원하는 작가 자신의 고뇌와 갈등이 주요한 동인으로 작동하고 있는 것으로 해석하였다. 한편 김유정 소설에서 가난한 지식인 주체의 절망은 성취되기 어려운 사랑(연애)을 갈망하는 주체의 퇴행적 심리와 상동적인 관계를 맺고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 이러한 돈에 대한 상상력은 짧고 암울했던 자기 자신의 절망적인 삶을 통해 확보된 것이라는 점에서 그의 소설은 결국 그의 간절한 염원을 담고 있다고 해석하였다.
