ABSTRACT

A Gaema-Highland represents delicate psychological scenery of characters who animated in the literary work just before North Korea literature change to the only ideas as 'Kim Il Sung Doctrine'. The scenery is important meaninig because every characters don't act up to their conviction that follows the party by rote. The characters don't act in the way of a leader enlighten and party decide. The work shows private desires in the concrete despite the Liberation Period's confusion and the Korean War's trial. The Gaema-Highland by Hwang-geon is not to be only evaluated in literary history of North Korea. Because it proves that characters had polyphony and polyhedric mind in the North Korea literature in the 1950s. Since the 'Kim Il Sung(≒Kim Jung Il) Doctrine' times, North Korea literature has advocated 'The only leader literature', 'The anti-Japanese revolution literature' and 'The fore-military revolution literature'. North Korea literature has excluded polyphony and polyhedric mind. But we should consider polyphony and polyhedric mind in the North Korea literature. This point of view is able to regard North Korea literature as identical national literature though North Korea is the other political system. Therefore we can find humanity in North Korea literature.
