ABSTRACT

Poetry is at once the product of interest in human beings and the records about true relief of human beings. Literature is a path to looking into the essence of life, developing self-reflection and self-enlargement and finding oneself as he or she really is. In addition, poetry is a study about human beings,that is, it is a research of human beings and their lives. Poetry is a story of one's self and his or her family and neighbor. It is the records of scars between them. While a poet tries to understand his or her self and the identity of family,he or she can feel self-growth and enjoy happiness of healing scars seated deep in mind. This study is to investigate 'the nature of modern family' in view of family dissolution which has been deepened since 2000s. The purpose of this study is to embody the nature of family in 4 aspects:first, father's image, a tragic self-portrait of this age - second, mother's image,an avatar of endurance and waiting - third, husband and wife's image as fellow travellers - lastly, a place of reconciliation and mutual understanding among family members. This study is focused on finding out the poetic meaning of family as a place of treatment and reconciliation, where one can restore life to the original state.
