ABSTRACT

This writing is a survey on Shin Seog-jeong’s rhetoric strategies presented in his before Liberation poetic works. In his early poems, he stuck to the honorific formation appropriate for praising Western pastures. Grounded on the past regressive view of time, he tried to think the conditions of reality into conceptual factors. However, the ever-worsening conditions of his times extended the distance him and his ideal world. Hence, he abolished the honorific and epistle writing styles and chose one proper to describing the objective conditions. Following, he realized the truth that nature of colony was warped by foreign forceful occupation and returned to a specific reality after leaving ‘the distant land’. On its shadow, the map discovered while he appreciated an oriental drawing called ‘SanSooDo(「山水圖」)’ was seated. After discovering the map, he was able to confirm the invasive desires of the imperialists when the experience of reading during the age of literary youth drew to feature a poetic figure who will destroy the colonial reality. In the background of his excluding the abstractive factors while holding onto the dream toward a ‘distant land’, various rhetoric strategies are being worked upon. Therefore, for Shin Suk-Jung’s poems, it is important to complexly inspect the rhetoric devises set between the lines of the work while shunning monolinear research.
