『미르고로드』에 나타난 등장인물 유형의 문제

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of soldiers and armies, focusing on Gogol`s Mirgorod, which is based on the past and present of Little-Russia, and to study imagery of soldiers and their life-problems in this process. Gogol created many types of characters. The imagery of a Small Human and a Russian landowner is a representative example. These types of character are very important in Russian literature and have attracted the attention of many scholars. In the works set in Little-Russia, various figures of soldiers appear. In Mirgorod, the soldiers are clearly distinguished in contrast to the past and the contemporary. While the soldiers of the past have a collectiveness and historicism, the contemporary owners have a individuality and fragmentation. Although it shows different feature depending on the times, the soldiers and armies reflect the glory and dream of the past.
