ABSTRACT

Different from other studies on Yi Kwangsu, this research paid attention to the image and performance of implied author in Yi Kwangsu’s works. With this regard, his novels Affection and Love have special research value. Affection is an epistolary novel, while Love uses a lot of dialogues. The novels present a feature of deconstructing the story by psychological method. The leading character opens his mind to readers and analyzes himself. Hence, the real author’s secret inner world was projected into the novels, and therefore it is easy to capture the shadow of Yi Kwangsu in charge of the novel, namely, the image of the implied author. In this research, the image of the implied author in the novels was analyzed by three types: the eloquent, the hesitant and the silent. The implied author reveals his identity by distancing himself from the narrator. In the novels, the implied author sometimes integrates the real author Yi Kwangsu with the characters and sometimes seeks for a substitute to express himself. However, through various narrators, readers can find the multiple but unified identity of Yi Kwangsu’s implied author.
