金裕貞의 「가을」 分析

Abstract

[가을]에 등장하는 인물들은 모두 현실의 어려움을 知的으로 타개해 나가는 능력이 결여되어 있다. 그들은 궁핍 속에서 인신매매의 현장에 모이게 되는데, 작가는 이러한 인물들을 통해서 日常가 만든 황폐한 현실과, 그 현실에 의해 훼손된 인간의 삶이 어떤 倫理에 지배되는가를 二重으로 조명하고 있다. 그리고 이 作品은 작가 特有의 諧謔的 관점으로 서술되며, 그것에 의해 작가는 분열된 理想世界와 現實世界의 진상을 포괄적으로 제시한다. 諧謔은 현실의 고통으로부터 벗어나고자 하는 일차적인 기능을 발휘하는데, 더 나아가서는 어떤 절망적인 상황에 처하더라도 허무주의적 패배감에 빠지지 않고 삶을 영위하겠다는 自我의 의지를 표명하는 하나의 수단이 되기도 하다. [가을]은 金裕貞의 전반적인 小說的 특징을 잘 나타내 주며, 비록 사건과 시간의 진행이 유기적으로 짜여져 있진 않지만, 삶의 外觀 아래 감추어진 진실을 독특한 方法으로 탐구했다는 점에서는 높이 평가할 만하다.
