초록

This thesis is to compare the difference of Suehiro tetcho’s Setchubai( ฀฀雪
中梅฀฀) and its adapted version, Koo Yeon-hak’s Seoljoongmae( ฀฀설중매฀฀)
and to reexamine the characteristics of the latter. Setchubai, the original text
is one of the Japnanese Three Political Novels including Kajin no kigu( ฀฀가
인지기우฀฀) and Keikoku bidan( ฀฀經國美談฀฀). Especially, Setchubai kept up
with Jiyu minken undo(the movement for the protection of civil rights in
Japan). The statement that there was a Setchubai’s era in the Japanese
political history is still valid because there was actually the era that
Literature and Politics were naturally combined. This inevitability was
demanded in the other oriental countries: China, Korea. Setchubai was
adapted in China in 1903 and in Korea in 1908. In China at that time,
the political narrative was high-positioned thanks to Liang Chitsao’s
assertion of the usefulness of novels. On the other hand, in Korea, a novel
was regarded as a guide to the civilization or an enlightenment text, not
the political narrative.
The adapted version, Seoljoongmae had a name of ‘a political novel’. It was one of the Korean Three Political Novels including Yi In-jik’s Eunsegae
(฀฀은세계฀฀: the Silver World) and Yi Hae-jo’s Jayoojong(฀฀자유종฀฀: the
Freedom Bell). Especially, Seoljoonmae has a story that the hero performs
political actions while the other two don’t. As it were, Seoljoongmae is a
political narrative that reflects the Korean political realities at that time
rather than the New Novel that has an insignificant politics or the political
novel that is deformed and imperfect. Because Koo Yeon-hak’s Seoljoongmae
brought a hero who was to perform the political actions in 1890’s situation
when Dongnip hyupoe(독립협회: the Independence Association) was leading
various activities positively.
In this work, the hero and the heroine want to reach to the ideal nation
beyond the happy home. Seoljoongmae shows that it’s the most important
to get the spouse with whom they can take part in accomplishing the
national business. The love narrative accepts the modern politics and thus
it is transformed into the political narrative where the marriage means the
coupling with the spouse who can develop the national business.
The adaption, Seoljoongmae has the same story and plot of the original,
Setchubai. In addition, the marriage in these work has the same meaning
as it represents the attainment of the ideal politics though the former
didn’t show it as definitely as the latter. This difference made the emergence
of the Korean political narrative possible because Koo Yeon-hak, the writer
of Seoljoongmae accepted the political realities in Korea while adapting
Suehiro tetcho’s Setchubai.
