초록

This work examines the attitude and consciousness toward death in Memories of the Earthenware with a pattern of the Teeth of a Comb and Songs of the Sward by Kim Hun. This paper analyses the characteristics and significance of death in those two works.
The subject of death itself is regarded as a universe theme in literature. Likely, the writer, Kim Hun also uses the theme of death across the literary works. With the insight and imagination, he creates the very unique forms and concepts on death within Memories of the Earthenware with a pattern of the Teeth of a Comb and Songs of the Sword, respectively. Previously stated, death is a main theme in the two novels. The heroic death and the detailed explanations regarding the death are functioned as the key factor for the making of the subject in the works.
In this regard, this article focuses on the heroic perspectives and attitude toward death; General, Lee Soon Sin and a fire-fighter, Jang Chul Min, a point of view of narrater toward their death and the various discourse on death; lastly, characteristics and significance of death in each work. For a instance, in Memories of the Earthenware with a pattern of the Teeth of a Comb, the protagonist Jang Chul Min's death is transformed into a ‘natural death’ from the unknown. Similarly, in Songs of the Sword General Lee's the ‘famous’ death in history is changed to the ‘uncanny’ death.
In doing so, this paper reveals the particularity and uniqueness in terms of the characterization of the death in Kim Hun's literature, in which the consciousness of death is directly linked to his attitude and idea on life and death, more importantly, the dialectic relation between life and death in human being. In his works, death and life is inseparable. Primarily, Kim hun creates natural death, which is caused by its own life. In this sense, especially the novel of Songs of the Sword contributes to de/mystifying General, Lee Soon Sin's heroic death and its beliefs, long widely accepted in Korean history. His works successfully achieves the speciality and universality in terms of literary aesthetics.
