A Study on the Relation between Alter Ego Structure and Desire to Suicide in Mouth Frozen Over by Kim Hak-Young

In this study, the author examined the relational network among the desires of writer and alter ego structure as well as concealing and revealing the desire to suicide in depth focusing upon his early literary work of Mouth Frozen Over. In addition, the author attempted to contrast the desire to suicide shown in his posthumous work of Sadness of Soil. In Mouth Frozen Over, the writer appeared to remove his desire to suicide by creating alter ego structure of Choi Gyu-Sik and Isogai, distributing the Id related characteristics and the past, and thus inducing Isogai to commit a suicide. In contrast, the desire to suicide of Isogai was found to be transferred to the speaker of the novel in his posthumous work Sadness of Soil, and the savior ‘you’ committed a suicide for the same reason as the grandmother of speaker, which implied the suicide while blocking off the possibility of eternal salvation. In short, the story reflects the life experience of Kim Hak-Young himself.
