doi:10.23016/kllj.2016.63.63.231

Dementia is a disease that comes about without notice, so a person with dementia as well as his or her surrounding people come to face psychological, physical, and economic problems. This paper analyses how dementia is accepted in novels and focuses on what this kind of study means in the area of literary criticism or literary history. The texts used for the analysis are Wonseo Park's "The Butterfly of Hallucination." and Alice Munro's "The Bear Came Over the Mountain," in which the subject matter or the motive was narrated through a person with dementia. The research analysis and consideration of these texts is considered to widen the area of criticism for the discourse about other texts. These stories offer on opportunity to think about what 'memory,' and 'the role of memory' is, for worrying about the universal problem in the character of a person with dementia and his or her families' identity under the unpredicted condition and for pondering over the happiness and the perpetuity of life.
