ABSTRACT

Park Bum-shin's Namaste was published in 2005. This was when the migrant workers problem emerged as a social problem. “Namaste fused a very realistic and social story called 'Migrant Worker' into a pure and ideal love story. Thus, this novel is both realistic and unrealistic. In addition, “Namaste is attracting attention because it allowed readers to recognize the suffering of migrant workers by accusing the real problem of Korean migrant workers. Although most of the previous studies were based on the exclusive national consciousness of multiculturalism, the central narrative of this work seems to me to be the 'affection narrative' between Nepalese migrant workers and Korean women, which is missing in the preceding article. In the second chapter of this study, we will look closely at the affectionate narrative of the Nepalese migrant worker 'Camille - Savina' and the affectionate narrative of migrant workers (Camille) and Korean women (Shin Woo). Through these affection narratives, the fictitious nature of the Korean dreams of migrant workers and Korean people 's understanding of the Korean dream of migrant workers were analyzed. In the third chapter of this study, we will look at the qualitative changes in the shape of migrant workers in Namaste, starting from the triangle relationship between love and man. It can not be denied that a positive effort for the development of society is a driving force for a country to progress. But there are differences and conflicts between people and people. These differences or conflicts can not be eliminated completely. Foreign workers came to Korea dreaming of 'Korean Dream'. We need to guarantee their human rights and quality of life so that Korean society can play a role as a member of the international society.
