장샤오펑(張曉風) 초기 작품에 나타난 대립적 세계와 그 문학적 의미

The Oppositional Worlds in Zhang XiaoFeng s Early Works and Its Literary Significance

Zhang XiaoFeng is a leading Taiwanese writer in the introduction of various literary structures and styles of expression, who is said to have opened the modern era of Taiwanese essay literature by expanding the range of the techniques in writing. Although Zhang has made a number of accomplishments not only in essay literature but also in plays and short stories, there are not as many studies on her short stories as those on her essays, plays and other works. As this study focuses on Zhang s short stories that have seldom appeared in the research on her literature, it explores the characteristics of her early literature and analyzes their meaning from the writer s perspective. Zhang s early works often involve two oppositional worlds as structural characteristics. In that setting, her protagonists desire to escape the real world, or they become agitated between the real and ideal worlds. These characters in Zhang s works eventually choose the real world after they undergo inner conflicts between the oppositional worlds. This study highlights that their psychological states as well as the series of choices they make strongly imply Zhang s nostalgia for China and her religious(Christian) sense
