The study of lyric feature in Shin, Dong-Yeoup"s poem

  This study is about lyricism of Shin, Dong-Yeoup"s poem, who is usually considered as a realism oriented poet. Generally, a realism oriented poet is a writer who participates in historical/public affairs, and expresses their point of views on the affairs through their poems. Lyricism is normally regarded as an opposite feature of realism oriented poem. So, the discovery of lyricism in Shin, Dong-Yeoup"s poem means that we need various views in order to explain one"s poem.   Also, lyric study of Shin, Dong-Yeoup which has been ignored in this aspect of his poem shows the possibility of acceptance of both extremes. Specifically, Korean people encountered modernism in 1950"s and 1960"s at the first time. The experience brought division of tradition and modernity which never can be met. However, Shin, Dong-Yeoup included the two different concepts in his poems. It means that he identified himself with a movement against the power of foreign country. On the other hand, he also focused on recurrence of tradition in the same breath. The acceptance of such two extreme worlds leaded him to the poet as a realist and lyricist at once. Therefore, I extract below conclusion in the perception of history and lyricism   First of all, the titles of his poem have a specific pattern of phrase or clause. It suggests that his poem has descriptive feature which is a useful technique for describing a fact. The thing which his descriptive poems have lyricism implies that lyricism is a intrinsic character of his poem.   Secondly, his poem has a form of reminiscences which is related to lyricism. Especially, recurrence of tradition or past-oriented attitude are mainly used for expressing lyricism. As a result, the intention of Shin, Dong-Yeoup"s poem is recurrence of tradition, and the natural disposition of his poem is lyricism.   Thirdly, another feature of his poem is deviation from ideologies. Lyricism seems to be the general character of the poems which deviate from ideologies. It will be impossible to say that Shin, Dong-Yeoup"s poem does not have any ideologic side, but it can not be denied that his poem has lyricism as much as ideologic part.   Finally, Shin, Dong-Yeoup not only wrote about historical consciousness and social issues but also expressed personal emotions and feelings. The lyric feature will be obvious when his poems are read from a point of view of deviation from ideologies.   To sum up, it will be said that Shin, Dong-Yeoup lived different two worlds and wrote them at the same time. One is the life of an intelligent who could not deny the social problems in his period. However, the other is the life of a lyric poet who describes feeling. Therefore, comparative study of his different two worlds should be investigated more in the future.
